KOBE BRYANT MOTIVATIONAL SPEECH - HOW TO OVERCOME FEAR

I like basketball stuff and it speaks for itself in terms of what that comment did for me in terms of giving me stability and confidence to say, "It's okay, it's okay to fail because you're going to be loved no matter what." that doesn't just mean basketball that means anything in life that means writing that means being an entrepreneur that means having the confidence to do it and um I've seen a lot of parents do the exact opposite and that terrifies the kids and the kids become paralyzed. out of their own

fear

because they don't have that security blanket of love and comfort.

Okay, what I try to do is just try to be still and understand that things come and go, emotions come and go, the important thing is to accept them all. hug them all and then you can choose to do what you want with them instead of being controlled by emotion. You know, many times I have seen players, even myself. You know, when I was younger, consumed by a particular

fear

and to the point where you're saying, well, no, it's not good to feel afraid. I shouldn't be nervous in this situation like no and it's just growing instead of taking a step back and saying yes I'm nervous about the situation, yes I'm afraid of the situation but what?

I'm afraid? And then you unpack it and then it gives you a chance to look at it for what it really is, which is nothing more than your imagination running this court, you think about winning shots or winning free throws. and people go to the free lounge and they're nervous about it, why are you really nervous? If you unpack that, okay, you're nervous that you're going to miss the drink, so you missed a drink, so what happens? to be embarrassed, you will be embarrassed because thousands of people, millions of people see that you missed a shot, okay, and then what people want to talk bad about you, okay, right, and then you're looking, you go, those things are even important?

You know what I mean, if that's my fear, what are you worried about disappointing your teammates? Well, have you disappointed them before? Well, I'm sure, and I practice and things of that nature, right, they're still there, yeah. you know it, so when you can unpack it, you look at it for what it is, which is really nothing, don't hide, you know you have to be able to look at it and you know it and you deal with it. with that in front
