Summary
Pat Riley reflects on the evolving dynamics of coaching in professional sports, particularly in basketball. He recalls a time when he pushed his team to improve by 25% after a heartbreaking loss, only to face resistance from players who felt overwhelmed by the unrealistic expectation. This led to a breakdown in rapport, prompting Riley to reconsider his approach.
Riley suggests that instead of demanding a significant increase in performance, he should have focused on smaller, more achievable goals. He proposes a strategy of aiming for just a 1% improvement in five key areas of the game. This shift not only rekindles the players' motivation but also fosters a competitive spirit, as they begin to push themselves beyond the initial expectations. Ultimately, this approach contributes to the Lakers' success in the championship, marking the beginning of their dynasty.
Show Notes
What makes for a great coach? It’s the ability to lead — to make things happen, maximize resources and inspire. It’s the extraordinary quality that solves problems and helps the individual come to a new level understanding of what is possible. And it’s the skill and talent to influence and guide others to make real breakthroughs and create lasting change.
Great coaches see things as they are, not worse than they are. They have a firm grasp on reality, and are honest with themselves about where they stand. Unlike most people, however, they do not dwell on problems; they tackle them head on. They have the proper skills and knowledge to assess the situation and find the best path to move forward. Fear and doubt do not play a role in their mission, even though they must take necessary risks to help others break through to the next level.
Great coaches also have vision. They can see things better than they are and help others to share in that idea. They can create movement that inspires others, so that they roll up their sleeves and do what it takes to get the job done. It goes well beyond directing activity, as a great coach will define the future and make it real and attainable for others.
Great coaches also understand strategy. They realize that transforming a vision into reality requires incremental changes that amount to radical results. It’s not always about the resources available, it’s knowing how to maximize resources — someone’s will, energy, creativity, courage, faith and determination — to achieve goals.
In this video, we can see how Tony Robbins helps world-renowned coach Pat Riley take his game to the next level. He explains why it is so essential to make a goal palatable, understandable, and attainable:

Sara Blakely, founder and CEO of SPANX, shares how failure has been a catalyst to her success – and how she uses it to learn, grow and see the upside in everything.Uploaded 23-06-20Sara is the founder of shapewear company SPANX (www.spanx.com), and in 2012 – at just 41 years old – she became the first female in the world to become a billionaire, on her own, without the help of an inheritance or spouse. At Business Mastery in Palm Beach, Sara shared the number-one influence on her success: her father, who taught her the value of failure. In fact, he expected it – and he expected her to learn from it. Sara shares, “My definition of failure became not about the outcome, but about not trying.” Fear of failure in business is one of the biggest limiting beliefs that holds business owners and entrepreneurs back. Read how you can overcome this fear at https://www.tonyrobbins.com/stories/business-mastery/overcoming-fear-failure/ and watch this video for real-life examples of how Sara uses fear, instead of letting it use her. Her father would ask her: What positive came from it? The ability to find the lesson is one of the best ways to overcome fear of failure and see it as a catalyst for growth instead of the end of the world. Sara says that fear of failure is really fear of embarrassment, fear of what other people think – and when you stop caring what other people think, you’ll experience true freedom to grow and learn. She even uses her embarrassing stories to connect with others, a hallmark of the authentic leadership style she’s known for.

How often would you like your financial advisor to think of what’s best for you when giving you financial advice? Half of the time? All of the time? It almost seems like a silly question to ask; why would you say anything less than “all of the time?” The whole point of hiring an advisor is to have someone you can trust to help you make the best choices possible with your money.Uploaded 05-09-19The sad truth is that many financial advisors don’t view this as the primary function of their job.Out of the 310,000 financial advisors in the US, how many do you think are required to act in your best interest? 50%? 25%? The shocking truth is that less than 10% of all financial advisors in the United States follow the fiduciary standard — which legally requires financial advisors to put your interests ahead of their own.It gets even scarier. Of the 10% of financial advisors who are fiduciaries, many are dually registered — meaning they can act as both a broker and a fiduciary. Legally, they don’t even need to notify you of their dual status, or whether they’re acting as a fiduciary or a broker at any given time! Talk about trust issues; would you ever go see a doctor who is only required to give you “good” medical advice during half of your visit? (And she doesn’t have to tell you which half of the visit.)If you can’t trust 90% of financial advisors to act in your best interests, and many of the remaining 10% will only act in your best interests some of the time, then who can you trust?That’s just the question Tony set out to answer when he wrote Unshakeable. Designed as your go-to financial freedom playbook, Unshakeable gives investors the knowledge they need to be truly unshakeable — unfazed by financial winters, prepared for anything, and wise enough to know who they can trust and who they can’t.Having someone by your side who you can count on to give you the best advice for your money is a key part in planning for the financial future you want. That’s why it’s so important that you make sure your financial advisor — even a registered fiduciary — keeps you on track, and doesn’t prioritize their own needs over yours.Even though the numbers look stacked against you, it’s very possible to find a trustworthy financial advisor. There are over 5,000 firms and individuals in the US that will act in your best interest.In this episode of The Unshakeable Podcast, Richard Bradley sits down with Tony and Peter Mallouk to explore the process of finding a financial advisor you can trust and how to identify the ways your financial advisor may be working for personal gain, instead of for you.Visit Tony Robbins' websites:https://www.tonyrobbins.com/http://www.unshakeable.com/Follow Tony Robbins @:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TonyRobbinsTwitter: https://twitter.com/tonyrobbinsLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ajrobbinsInstagram: https://instagram.com/tonyrobbins/Tony Robbins is a #1 New York Times best-selling author, entrepreneur, and philanthropist.
