342: NBA Performance Coach David Nurse on Why “Potential” is a Dangerous Word, The Devious Side of Influence, The Physiology of Stress, and Why People Quit

Podcast · May 10, 2023

This week on the podcast, we sit down with one of my close friends, NBA performance coach, David Nurse, to discuss some of the most pressing topics in the world of psychology and personal development. David shares his insights on why the word “potential” can be a dangerous trap for individuals, how influence can have a devious side that we must be aware of, and the physiological impact of stress on our bodies and minds. Additionally, David explores the reasons why people quit, and offers practical tips and strategies for overcoming obstacles and achieving success. Whether you’re looking to improve your own performance, lead a team, or simply be interested in the fascinating intersection of psychology and personal growth, you won’t want to miss this insightful and thought-provoking conversation with one of the leading experts in the field.
