Julius Randle: The Mental Game That Help...

Dr Daniel & Tana Amen
About this episode

What does it take to go from broken bones and broken confidence… to becoming one of the NBA's fiercest playoff performers? In this revealing conversation, 3-time All-Star Julius Randle opens up to Dr. Daniel Amen about his mental health struggles and self-doubt to unlock a championship mindset. You'll hear the surprising brain scan discoveries that changed his game, why he ditched marijuana, and how embracing his "Mamba Disciple" alter ego—honoring his mentor Kobe Bryant—helped him dominate under pressure. Whether you're chasing peak performance, trying to capture that flow state at work on on the court, or simply trying to find more zen in your life, this story will inspire you to rewrite the limits of your life.
