The Smartest Players Always Win... | Cuttino Mobley | DSH #2055

What separates winners from everyone else? It isn't talent. It isn't luck. And it definitely isn't motivation. Most people spend their lives avoiding discomfort. Former NBA player Cuttino Mobley says that's exactly why they stay stuck. In this episode of Digital Social Hour, Sean Kelly sits down with former NBA star Cuttino Mobley to discuss the mindset that helped him play more than a decade in the NBA with almost no major injuries, overcome childhood trauma, thrive under criticism, and build a life centered on discipline instead of excuses. Cuttino explains why young athletes should play multiple sports, why fear and failure are your greatest teachers, and why today's NBA has lost much of the creativity that made basketball great. He also opens up about surviving violence as a child, watching close friends lose their lives, navigating fatherhood, and why accountability is the foundation of every successful person.
