The scene is set as the NBA and the NHL are ready to conclude their season and crown a champion. All-season teams have one common goal in mind, a reward that every athlete dreams of and it fuels their desire to get to the biggest stage to make their dreams come true. The road is filled with daily competition, athletic endurance, pain threshold, mental fortitude, and luck.  Not everyone is fortunate to get to that stage let alone make it to that level of competition. Not everyone has what it takes.

In this show, Dr. Grant Garcia discusses his experiences working with the top athletes in sports and their relentless drive to be the best.  We discuss these successes on the field and off it as well. Rainier Beach high school football coach Corey Sampson joins us to share his thoughts on the various ways to recognize success, especially when it comes to his players. It can be graduating, giving back to your community, becoming a professional in your field of interest, etc. This show is inspired by the movie “American Underdog” and it opened up the discussion of “what it takes.” to achieve success and how that looks different for many of us.
