Shaquille O'Neal On Mindset: Developing your Identity

Episode Description:

In this episode, we explore the mindset of Shaquille O'Neal and how it can be applied to developing a killer instinct through a strong sense of identity, self-belief, and self-confidence. In this episode, Shaq, tells us about how Kobe Bryant developed his killer instinct over time by changing his identity. He also tells us a true story of how he became Shaq during one of his high school basketball games.

Key Takeaways:

  • Kobe Bryant developed his killer instinct over time by shifting his identity and self-image.
  • Shaq's strong sense of identity as a dominant basketball player was a key factor in developing his killer instinct on the court.
  • This killer instinct that he associated with his identity "Shaq" allowed him to dominate the game, intimidate his opponents and push himself to achieve greater success.
  • The role of alter egos in developing a killer instinct, as Kobe created his Black Mamba alter-ego that would show up on the court to win games and championships. Guest Bio:
