How To Turn Self-Doubt Into Your Superpo...

Lewis Howes
About this episode

In this powerful masterclass, I sit down with three extraordinary athletes who have each redefined success in their fields and taken their athlete’s mindset to the real world - NBA legend Kobe Bryant, tennis champion Venus Williams, and WWE superstar Becky Lynch. Each guest opens up about their unique journey to greatness, sharing intimate stories about their early struggles, breakthrough moments, and the mental fortitude that drove them to the top of their respective sports. From Kobe's revelations about his father's impact, to Venus's insights on business transitions, to Becky's inspiring transformation in professional wrestling, each conversation reveals universal truths about perseverance, authenticity, and the true meaning of success.

In this episode you will learn:

  • How Kobe Bryant's early failure (scoring zero points an entire summer) became the foundation for his legendary work ethic
  • The importance of studying film and paying attention to the smallest details in achieving mastery
  • Why compassion and empathy were Kobe's biggest challenges as a leader
  • How Venus Williams maintains core self-belief while managing situational confidence challenges
  • The danger of basing self-worth on appearance rather than substance and capability
  • How Becky Lynch transformed from a directionless teenager to finding her authentic voice in wrestling
