Greatness isn\u2019t for the faint of heart but it is certainly within reach for all that want it. Chris Bosh, a former NBA player drafted in 2003, retired early after a health scare and his story gets so much more interesting from there. We dive into his new book, Letters to a Young Athlete, which is easily an instruction manual for greatness and leadership, to uncover what the process for excellence really looks like at the elite level. It comes down to the \u201cinner game of success\u201d and leaving it all on the table knowing you\u2019ve reached the depths of your existence to give it your all.\xa0Order Chris Bosh\u2019s Book, Letters to a Young Athlete: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1984881787?tag=randohouseinc47720-20\xa0\n\nSHOW NOTES: \nSelf Discovery | Chris on the health issue and the struggles that created his book [1:33]\nTalent Isn\u2019t Enough | Chris explains why hard work has to go with talent for greatness [6:27]\nThe Process | Chris breaks down work ethic and what it takes [7:54]\nEmpty Light | Chris on giving everything and \u201cscratching the depths of your soul\u201d [9:40]\nBeyond Pain | Turning potential into skills and getting through the pain [12:43]\nLove It | Chris on loving the game and loving what you do from deep why [17:04]\nBlame | Chris talks about how deflecting keeps you from looking within [20:14]\nPerseverance | Chris on why not persevering through tough times blocks greatness [22:17]\nMiami Heat Dream | Chris recalls the experience of moving to Miami Heat and Season 2 [25:46]\nTeamwork | Chris on learning how to sacrifice and doing what\u2019s best for the team [28:36]\nChallenges | Chris on finding striving for your goal and finding magic in the hard work [32:13]\nBeginner | Chris on being the beginner at music and starting at the bottom in new ways [35:32]\nVisualize | Chris shares why visualizing has been key for his success to be self-doubt [38:21]\nConfidence | Chris talks about confidence from hard work and rising to the occasion [39:33]\nMind-Body | Chris on using your body & being connected with your mind, staying active [42:13]\nCriticism | Chris recalls criticism coming from Toronto and caring what others think [44:56] A\nnger | Chris talks about using anger and dark energy to fuel you in a positive way [49:20]\nBe Hungry | Chris talks about aspiring and not allowing yourself to be satisfied [51:40]\xa0\xa0\n\nCheck out our sponsors:\xa0\nIndeed: Get a FREE $75 CREDIT to upgrade your job post at indeed.com/IMPACT\nHelix Sleep: Go to HelixSleep.com/impact for up to $200 off your mattress and 2 free pillows.\nSkillshare: Explore your creativity at skillshare.com/impacttheory for a free trial of Premium Membership.\n\nAre You Ready for EXTRA Impact?\nIf you\u2019re ready to find true fulfillment, strengthen your focus, and ignite your true potential, the Impact Theory subscription was created just for you.\nThis is not for the faint of heart.
