Brady Howe on 3×3 Basketball, Mental Performance, and Life After the NBA

What happens AFTER you attain a lifetime goal?

You see this all the time in Olympians – they train their entire life to go to the games, and if they’re lucky, maybe they even win.

But once that time is over, what happens next?

Well it may not have been going to the Olympics, but Brady Howe has real experience on this front!

Brady dedicated his life to working in the NBA, spending 10 years between the G-League and NBA, and his final 6 serving as the VP of Health and Performance for the Phoenix Suns.

But in pro sports sometimes situations change – and sometimes YOU change along with it, and that’s what we’re going to dive into today.

 

Quotable Quotes:

Life’s got different chapters and phases that are more important.

—–

Confidence is a skill, resilience is a skill, focus is a skill.

—–

You have to start somewhere and build and it has to be done consistently.
