Know Your Body
In this episode of the CoreViva Know Your Body Podcast, Dr. A. Alexander, CEO & Co-founder of CoreViva, and Dr. Vincent Bennett sit down with NBA champion, Olympic medalist, entrepreneur, and ESPN broadcaster Richard Jefferson for an insightful conversation about elite performance, reinvention, health, and what it takes to sustain excellence long after professional sports. Richard reflects on his journey from a basketball-obsessed kid in Arizona to an NBA career spanning 17 seasons, during which he competed alongside some of the greatest players in history, including Jason Kidd, Tim Duncan, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and Steph Curry. He shares the mindset, discipline, and “irrational confidence” required to perform at the highest level, while opening up about the pressure, preparation, and recovery routines that shaped his longevity on and off the court. Together, they dive into: • What it really takes to make it to the NBA and sustain a long career • The mindset behind high performance, discipline, and resilience • Lessons learned from competing alongside Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Tim Duncan, and other NBA legends • The physical and mental demands of elite athletics, recovery, sleep, injury prevention, and aging • Why teamwork, humility, and preparation matter both in sports and leadership • The transition from NBA player to broadcaster, entrepreneur, and business owner • Why being “elite” is about becoming the best version of yourself, not comparing yourself to others Richard also shares why he chose to get a CoreViva whole-body MRI scan and how the experience gave him clarity, reassurance, and personalized insights into long-term performance, recovery, and aging. From understanding joint health and inflammation to getting real-time physician guidance on prevention, he explains why proactive healthcare matters even for elite athletes. “You’re not looking for answers to questions. You’re looking to make sure there aren’t questions.” This episode is a powerful reminder that high performance doesn’t end when competition does. Whether in sports, business, or everyday life, understanding your body and investing in long-term health is one of the greatest advantages you can give yourself.
