Episode notes

confidence comes from putting in the work, and having an irrational belief in yourself. Successful people have faced fewer obstacles than most because they've had the audacity to try things that are out of their wheelhouse more regularly. A lot of great athletes take it personally. In sport, things are very personal, and i think that, in a way, drives that outcome that we see with a lot of athletes. It's actually those high risks, the volume of risk taking, met by the resilience and the ability to get up in and be better ause of that failure.

Paul Rabil knows what it takes to reach the top in both sports and business. In this episode, he teaches us the mindsets to succeed, where confidence comes from, and even tells us about the time Bill Belichick recruited him to play in the NFL.

Rabil spent 14 years as a professional lacrosse player in the United States and in 2019 co-founded the Premier Lacrosse League, where he played for the final three seasons of his career before retiring in 2021. He was a 10-time All-Star in Major League Lacrosse, where he also won two league titles. He also won two World Lacrosse Championship gold medals.
