@stak5: Phil Handy sits down and shares the powerful and deeply instructive conversation he had with Kobe Bryant about work ethic and what the message the Lakers legend delivered to him meant for the way he has approached his own career and his role developing players at the highest level of professional basketball ever since. He reflects on the specific wisdom Kobe shared and what it revealed about the philosophy and internal framework that drove one of the most prepared and obsessively dedicated competitors the sport has ever produced to show up every single day with a level of intention and purpose that the vast majority of professional athletes never come close to matching throughout their entire careers. Handy delivers his account with the reverence and genuine emotion of someone who understood in real time that he was receiving a lesson that went far beyond basketball and into something closer to a complete and unwavering philosophy about what it truly means to commit yourself fully to the pursuit of excellence in everything you do.
