In this episode of The TMA Connection, Tim Markland takes the show on the road to Gaithersburg, Maryland to sit down with Alan Stein Jr., former NBA performance coach, keynote speaker, and author of Raise Your Game, Sustain Your Game, and Next Play.
Alan shares what he learned training elite athletes like Kevin Durant and Victor Oladipo and running the Kobe Bryant Skills Academies, including why Kobe never got bored with the basics, why effort is a choice, and why consistency is a controllable superpower. They dig into morning routines that evolve, why awareness is the first step to improvement, curating what you consume on social media, and the “next play” mentality for handling adversity, from a bad cup of coffee to losing a parent. Alan also breaks down the four pillars he uses to define quality of life.
