"The only way you get confidence is you gotta earn it."
Who taught you to think like a champion? In this episode, Keith Tyner sits down with Phil Byers, Jim Crews, and Tom Abernethy, three Indiana University basketball national champions. They credit the parents and coaches who shaped them and kept them humble.
This episode covers:
• How a stack of play cards turned Phil's evenings into practice
• What Jim learned about ownership in the family garden
• Why Bob Knight rated the mental game four times above the physical
• Who stepped in when Tom lost his dad at age 10
• Where Tom found purpose after out-earning his NBA salary
Watch with your kids or grandkids, because these stories are worth passing down.
