Dwayne Morton, a former international basketball player, discovered the significance of mental performance in achieving greatness early in his career. However, his true test of resilience occurred off the court. For 18 years, he unknowingly battled a misdiagnosed rare blood cancer, only discovering the truth in March of this year. Additionally, two and a half years ago, he survived as an innocent bystander in a police shooting. These life-altering moments could have shattered him, but instead, they ignited a deeper connection to faith, integrity, and authenticity.
Now, Dwayne channels these experiences to empower athletes and high performers to build unshakable mindsets, overcome adversity, and unlock their fullest potential. His message is clear: true performance isn’t just physical—it’s mental, emotional, and rooted in resilience.
