David Nurse is an NBA life and optimization coach and worldwide motivational speaker. As a former professional basketball player (both international and domestic) and a coach for the Brooklyn Nets, David has personally helped over 100 NBA players with their personal and professional development both on and off the court. He's the host of the 1% Podcast and author of Pivot & Go: The 29-Day Mindset Blueprint to Redefine and Achieve YOUR Success.
What you'll learn from this episode:
How to develop a mindset that fosters the unshakeable confidence to crush it in life.
Why even world-class NBA players—people who literally play at the top of their game—often need guidance toward developing this same mindset.
David's own "pivot and go" experience—as a kid aspiring to be an NBA star to playing on European basketball courts to becoming an NBA coach—that inspired the title of his new book.
Why David went from concentrating purely on the development of skill technique as a shooting coach to focusing 90 percent on mindset.
David's opinion of so-called "balance" as a quality we want to cultivate if we plan on excellence as an end game (and what we should be doing instead).
