Wow, I went from being a terrible basketball player at 10 years old and not being able to score a single point in summer league to becoming one of the greatest NBA basketball players of all time and winning five NBA championships. NBA, it's Kobe Bryant. And here is my opinion on the top of it. Ten

rules

, one success vol 3 Okay, let's start with rule number one. I have a champion mentality when I played. One of the things I had to learn is how to get the best out of my teammates.

Yes, and most people think it's simple. You know, passing the ball, you know, that's not how you make guys better. You have to really affect their behavior. How do you do that? So yeah, as I would tell the guys. You have it back to back, you know, I don't care in Miami. I don't care if we're in a big city like Chicago. You can't go out, rest. Games in a row, the second bag goes well from Monday to Tuesday. You play on Monday and you play on Tuesday, guys. I'm going to listen, right? You don't, you're right.

So rarely did I say, okay, we'll all go out together, really, I'll drink with you, right, but the next morning I'll knock on your door at 5:00. In the morning let's go. They do not go. Where we go? I'll go out with you. Now come hang out with me. This is what we do. Okay let's go. You're at the gym We're working out, we take the bus, we go to practice, we play that night and they're dead and they're dead They're like a lesson learned, a lesson learned, take them out. Once you listen, if you're going to do that, do it.

But don't let that compromise be we're here to make it, right? That's why we are here. That's why you're here in the first place. Yes, of course, and if we are going to win a championship, we have to have that championship mentally, it is work

ethic

. That's all. So you have to show them that low cocaine use can do that and that they still have the energy to get up and do it? So either I have to find that same energy or I have to conserve my own, but I'm going to matter from the beginning. Yes, rule number two.

Develop your potential. I think the best way to prove your value is to work. Learning is absorbing. To be a sponge, you always want to develop your potential. You know that no matter how much you think you can work, you can work. harder than that And that's what I tried to do when I first came in and led, but you know basketball is such a direct competitive sport that when I got to 17 I needed it when, as my teammates would say, You know, they hit me with an elbow. In the shack with him, they would elbow him in practice and, as you know, the big bad actor will come up and say, are you okay?

That? Mom, are you okay? How do you know it's like I've always had that extra resentment on my shoulder? So every day I practiced for me I was really trying to annihilate everyone. That's what I was playing against because I wanted to show that you don't need to take care of me. . Like it was okay, you know, and as always, that competitive nature, the work

ethic

and the curiosity because I asked a lot of questions, you know, playing with Barnes God. I asked a lot of questions about Eddie Jones, who was great at kicking guards off screens and didn't understand how to do it.

I would sit with him before practice after practice. Magic James Worthy Kurt Rambis Kareem Abdul. All Laker ratings. I always sit and ask questions about certain games that I have studied as a child. What really happened there? What did you fill it with and why do you know it is a difficult bird to defend? Why because you seem slow to me. I'm awake like I'm missing something. So tell me what I'm missing. You know what I think, which is why I always ask questions and try to learn as much as I can. Rule number three, I learned from failures.

You talk about this often and we always talk about the fact that you can learn a lot more from failures and you can learn a lot more from successes and you have to figure out where those land mines are and then how to best avoid them or place or help entrepreneurs and ourselves included. Discover the clues to where those landmines are not. that you are going to avoid them all. But it's also when you step on one, figure it out. Well, how do you recover? How can you regain balance and you know, get back to rule number four?

Be a long-term thinker. I had a summer. Oh, I played basketball when I was 10 or 11 and a really prominent, really good Philly called Sunny Hill week. My dad played, my uncle played all the all-time greats, and Bo Chamberlain played in the league or other Perlman RPG that we've become. Playing and I didn't score a point. In the entire summer, really, not one. How old were you? 11 10 11? You are playing against other 10- to 11-year-olds and you haven't scored a single goal. Were you at the game? I was in a game. How did you not score? Was that terrible?

Actually? Yes, you were several years old and you were that horrible. I mean, you know, and I had these big knee pads on because I'm wrong, we fasted. I have socks up to here and I had like the caps of the capsules, too bad, yes. I was very skinny and didn't score a free throw. Not anything, not a lucky shot, not a breakaway layup, zero points. Is that when you think about the hard work mentality? He started coming to your side at that age when you failed. So miserably, I guess somewhere I think that's when the idea of ​​understanding the long-term view became important because you weren't going to catch these kids in a week, you weren't going to catch them in a year, right?

That's why I said down. Alright. This will require some parenting. Well, we'd all like to work on it first. Alright, shooting. Alright, let's get this out of the way. Let's focus on this half year. Six months. Don't do anything, but shoot right after. Alright, create your own shot and focus. Then it begins. I started creating a menu of things when I returned the next day. In the summer I was a little better, right, many will say: I have my jump shot from God's 15. Yeah, I got my job at 15. I got my three-point shot like just open shots, not missing open shots.

Right and power. shoot with speed because those kids are much more athletic. Yeah, and then the next time I came back a little better, summer came back. It was a little bit what I got Yeah it wasn't much but I got 12 13 12 13 and then 14 came in the back half of 13 14 years and then I was killing everyone and it happened in two years and I wasn't I didn't expect it to happen in two years, but it happened because what I had to do was work on the basics and the fundamentals while they relied on an athletic ISM and their natural ability, and since I stick to the fundamentals, it just caught up and then my body, you know, my knees they stopped hurting, I grew in my body and then your athleticism once you have the fundamentals exactly the hard work the mentality and you add the 11 It was a game Wow.

So from 13 you have a good average, but that was good. That was good, around the end of my 30s, right when I turned 14, I became clearer in the state, a 14 or 14. So I'm from 12 to 14. You went from scoring zero to being the best in the state. of all ages. Yes, rule number five, find your passion. We talk about hard work all the time. Mistake, you know, man. If you have to get up every morning, remember how hard you need to work. I need to choose a different profession. You know, because that What shouldn't be there is that I wake up in the morning excited to get to it, you know.

If I'm not training, I'm missing out. I'm not watching a bass game. I miss him. You know, there's no place I'd rather be and if you have that feeling, then you're really doing it. God has put you on this earth to fulfill rule number six. Challenge yourself to grow, was quoted on CNBC. like saying you'd rather be remembered for your role in boosting technology companies than for your skills on the court. Can you talk to him but what is that? I think you have to challenge yourself to evolve and grow and I think I couldn't think of a better message for athletes in particular, because it's so easy for us athletes to lose ourselves and our identity when connecting.

We are in what we do and I think it is a very dangerous area to be in, so it is common sense for me to be able to say that it is okay for the next stage that I am going to follow with the same intensity and the same attention to detail. Same curiosity, so of course I would like to be better at it than I was in my previous career. There's a pretty high bar there, you have enough energy left for that orange. I guess we'll find out just fine. I mean, the best. You know you try and do everything you can, learn as much as you can.

If you keep trying to keep improving, you keep evolving. The agency where you are, right? You know, 20 years from now you'll like to look in the mirror and say, "I did my best and we did our best and see where we ended up, rule number seven." Keep going. There is a quote from my English teachers, Alo Marian, called Mr. Fisk. He had a great quote that said rest at the end, not in the middle. And that's something I always live for. You know I'm not going to rest. I'm going to keep pushing. Now there are many answers and I don't even have questions that I don't have.

I'm going to move on. I'll go ahead and figure these things out as you go. Okay, and you continue to build that. So I try to live by that all the time the rest at the end Rest at the end rule number eight protect your dreams Dreams must be pure I believe that many times we are born into this world. In fact, we end up going backwards and it seems like the more we mature, the more responsible our dreams become and the more governors we put on ourselves and our ability to dream and reimagine, and it's always a struggle for your parents and for you.

Make sure your dreams always remain pure, so it is not a question of going beyond the limitations of expectations. It's really a matter of protecting your dreams, protecting your imagination, that's really the key and when you do that in the world it seems limitless, rule number nine needs to be pushed. My journey began in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. At the age of three, my father would put a basketball in my hands and I would take it from there. Basketball was in Kobe's blood, his father is Joe. Jellybean, Brian Played eight years in the NBA before uprooting his family to take his career overseas as he grew up.

We moved to Italy while Joe got used to playing in Europe. His son was also adjusting. In Italy, not many kids perfected the jump shot, but Kobe Bryant did. Soccer was a great sport. So I had posts under the baskets on concrete courts. The boys used to play football all day and I was one of them and then after football I would stay there for three others. Four or five hours playing basketball. It was a different country with a different language. Even though he had his family, he was essentially alone. Then Kobe looked at him and developed the relentless drive to work on his game.

When his family moved back to Philadelphia, his time alone on the court paid off when Kobe announced his arrival on the court. basketball world. He was the best high school player in the country, broke Wilt Chamberlain's scoring records and became a celebrity at age 16. Kobe's next step may have been similar to damn Bish's, but with his basketball pedigree and his work ethic. It was an easy decision Yes, and rule number 10, the last home before a very special extra clip, is to achieve greatness. I remember the first season and you said who is this kid? It is season number 20.

Only several careers in basketball will not allow them to continue being what do you want water? No one understands what it takes to be great The force that drives you to do what others don't Sacrifice is all made with a purpose in mind Strive to be better The extra seconds, minutes, hours of work spent perfecting your own game Rise above the rest To ensure your name is always synonymous with greatness What does it take to be a great job in the mix? Momentum requires skill. Your wish is needed. They learn movements with their muscles again. Makes.

I think it takes years of players. Trusting you have to make the big shot, make a big play, you know, do the things that bring success to the team. That's what it's about. It's going out there and measuring yourself against others and I think when you have an attitude like that, that's what I think is part of greatness. The first time I met Kobe. Kobe was just out of high school. He was here with a bad test and he had never seen anyone work so hard. This is coated. I have never seen anyoneso prepared. He was 17 years old and ready to play NBA basketball.

That's pretty surprising. And I think Jerry West was the one who said this, he said: I want this kid because this kid had more talent than anyone. I have a plan for myself right now. And he had a great team. Just kidding, he would never take me a night off even if I did. he wasn't calling right, he was always going to try to kill the dragon. If you don't have that kind of work ethic, you won't be able to enjoy the benefits. Now I have a special bonus clip from Kobe on how to be a good team player that I think you'll really enjoy, but first. that it's time for the three point landing questions to go from simply watching another video to taking action in your life or your business and if you're feeling bold leave your answers in the comments below Here we go.

Question number one. What is your big dream number two? How are you going to protect it when people say you can't do it and number three? How are you going to move forward when you're not getting results? When you are in this culture of our society, you can do some phenomenal things individually, but they will never reach their full potential unless you do them collectively. You have to figure out how to do it. And you know, Phil Jackson was great at the time. Phil. Not only did he coach the team or coach the game, but he read everything about each player.

We heard about the story from him. How you grew up How you were raised where we were raised, you know, he will read every interview and learn about you and give him a better understanding of what motivates you or what your insecurities are and then just helps him communicate with you better Or even press a button here if you need it there was a stretch and o3 where Shaq was out with an injury and Phil called me into his office and said, "Okay, we need you to really turn on the afterburners." to start scoring or you have to win.

So I did it and ended up scoring. I think it was nine games in a row for more than 40 points. Nine games in a row, three games and then Shaq comes back. Second, it's the penultimate game of that. And then Phil calls me into his office. It is cold. Okay, I need you to dial again. I tell him: Why I like it well, how about I understand it? It's because our goal is to win a championship. Mmm and we can get through the Western Conference with you playing this way. But in the East, you know, we can dominate them inside with Shaq in the post.

But if you keep doing this, we're going to lose Shaq, we're going to lose his motivation. It's exciting what triggers it, right? So I need you to back off so we can get Shaq out there for June and I just looked at him like a smart guy. Wow. Yes, this is what the intelligent man sighs, pulls, takes it back. See once was Yes, the most important job of all time if you had to think of one word That is most important to you or that sums you up Apple. That would be connecting a small beacon.

The link is right next to me. I think you'll enjoy it, keep believing and I'll see you there. We have to become like people, as individuals. So if you want to be great at something, you have to make the inherited sacrifices that come with that family time.
