Mamba Mondays | One Foot in Front of the Other

Kobe was asked, "What have you learned about yourself through these 20 years of being in the NBA?"

He said:

What I've learned is to always keep going - ALWAYS. There have been times, particularly early in my career, where you just feel like this is the end. But what I've come to find out is that no matter what happens, the storm eventually ends, and when the storm does end, you want to make sure that you are ready. So I've really learned to put one foot in front of the other - good, bad, or indifferent - because eventually, that storm passes.

Adversity is a part of everyone's journey. Injuries happen. You might lose a big game or your starting spot. You might have a rough practice, a game, a tournament, or an entire season where nothing seems to go your way.

Know that storms will come, and prepare yourself for them. Work hard, be a great teammate, and live, work, and play with energy and enthusiasm.

When the storms come, fight through them and just keep going. Keep putting one foot in front of the other, and don't stop, because eventually, all storms.

1 - What is one storm that you have fought through?

2 - What did you do to overcome the storm?

3 - How did you feel when you fought through the storm?

4 - What lesson did you learn from that moment that you can use the next time you are facing a storm?
