“You gotta keep hope alive.”
For decades business leaders have leveraged the sports world to adopt best practices in high-performance, leadership, and culture. The parallels between the two worlds are endless — from the adversity of a season to recruiting talent — so many of the principles crossover from the court to the boardroom.
On this week’s episode of the MindShift Lab, we get an inside look at the mindsets, strategies, and rituals of some of the NBA’s elite with NBA Assistant Coach, J.P. Clark.
From working with Hall of Famers like Kevin Garnett to NBA Finals Champion coach Doc Rivers, J.P. gives us a behind the scenes look at mental performance and transformational leadership from the best of the best. And, we unpack the correlation to how we can apply these concepts in our own lives and businesses.
