And if you didn't what was the reason. I share my thoughts on this in Episode 112. Enjoy. Be the athlete you were always meant to be.

Today's episode is to athletes who are always in a hurry. Athletes who forget that sometimes things just take time. You have to trust the process. Nick Saban said "The process is really what you have to do day in and day out to be successful, we try to define the standard that we want everybody to sort of work toward, adhere to, and do it on a consistent basis. And the things that I talked about before, being responsible for your own self-determination, having a positive attitude, having great work ethic, having discipline to be able to execute on a consistent basis, whatever it is you're trying to do, those are the things that we try to focus on, and we don't try to focus as much on the outcomes as we do on being all that you can be" In Episode 110 i urge you to trust the process and believe that if you do things right you will enjoy the success you deserve.

"I'm never satisfied. I'm always trying to get better and learn from my mistakes." - Russell Westbrook. This is by far his greatest season. Has he really done anything different? What changed for him this season? These are some of the questions one might ask. The reason being he has recorded 42 triple doubles this season breaking the 55 year old record of Oscar Robertson. In the process he also averaged a triple double throughout the entire season. His achievements are great but what is more important for a young athlete is the lessons you can learn from him to ensure your own success. You might not record multiple triple doubles like Westbrook but you can follow his blueprint to bring about your own success. This episode centers on the Oklahoma City Thunder Star and how he is your mentor. Head over to itunes and Soundcloud and subscribe to the podcast. Your greatness begins here.
