For today's Spotlight episode, I'm excited to welcome Mike Guevara to the show.

Mike is a performance coach and the co-owner of GBG Hoops, where he helps top-level athletes elevate their game. Mike is considered one of the best top-performance coaches within both the NBA and NFL communities. In the NBA alone, he has worked with Anthony Davis, Rajon Rondo, and Jrue Holiday, to name a few.

Today we're going to get a glimpse into how Mike went from coaching girls' youth soccer to coaching NBA/NFL players.

In this episode, we discuss:

- Growing up in a military household

- Being overlooked as an Asian American athlete in high school and college

- What exactly does a performance coach do?

- Movement is essential to a healthy lifestyle

- How to get professional athletes to buy into the program

- How being the underdog as an athlete prepared him in his professional career

- What separates a great athlete from an average one?

- The best piece of advice

- Where Mike sees himself in the next five years.
