Hey

THE MINDSET OF A WINNER Kobe Bryant Champions

Kobe: Yeah, you know it’s…. it’s funny like for me the mentality is a really simple one in a sense that the confidence comes from preparation. You know, so when the game’s on a line, I’m not asking myself to do something that I haven’t done thousands of times before right, so when I prepare, I know what I’m capable of doing. I know what I’m comfortable doing, and I know what. I’m not comfortable doing alright, and so in those moments, if it looks like I’m ice cold or not nervous, it’s because I’ve done it thousands of times before, so it’s one more time. Interviewer: So that leads me to talk about a lot of this Kobe tour this year in Asia is we ….we reiterate the Mamba mentality you know. Can you talk a little bit about what the Mamba mentality is because that’s something that’s been developing over, I don’t want to say 20 years it’s been developing for 35 years since you were a little kid. Kobe: Well, I mean overall, you know the idea is a very simple one, and you know, the Mamba mentality simply means trying to be the best version of yourself. That’s what the mentality means. It means every day you know you’re trying to become better, and it’s a constant quest. It’s an infinite quest, so starting at the age of two when I first started playing the game and on and on and on, I always ask questions. I always try to get better every single day, learn more, learn more.

When Life Breaks You (William Smith)

Stand tall and show the world what you are made of. When the world beats you down, find a reason to get back up again. Never give up on the success. Try, try, try and try again. Feed your mind ideas of success, not failure. Remember, the only way you can fail is if you give up. Every time you fail, you come one step closer to success. You are not scared; you are courageous. You are not weak; you are powerful. You are not ordinary; you are remarkable. Do not back down, do not give up. When you look back on your life, don't have regrets. Believe in yourself, belief in your future, you will find your way. A fire burning inside you is mighty; it is waiting to burn bright. You are meant to do great things. Following your dreams can be both terrifying and exciting. Courage is facing fear. Fear of failure holds most people back. You are not most people. Persist and persuade others about your plans, as they are real. Nobody can do this but you. Nobody will get in the way of our dreams. Most people master the obvious; you create something that wasn't there before. It's bold, it's beautiful, and it's you. Give it your best, and your dreams will come to life. Success is yours.
