ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Alex Smith, Shane Battier, and Ravi Gupta share the sayings and pieces of advice they’ve carried with them from some of the most influential coaches, mentors, teammates, and family members in their lives.
They break down Jeff Van Gundy’s “don’t fail the plan” philosophy, why playing it safe can actually be the biggest risk, Jim Harbaugh’s advice for handling pressure, Hubie Brown’s brutally simple rule about getting paid to perform, and the mantra Alex leaned on while recovering from his devastating leg injury. They also trade lessons from Coach K, Andy Reid, Jason Williams, parents, and mentors—and discuss which sayings they’re now passing down to their own kids.
