Humility: The Hidden Talent of Champions

Performance isn’t just about raw ability — it’s shaped by relationships, mindset, and self-awareness. Dave unpacks how pride blinds athletes while humility — “precision truth about yourself” — fuels growth. He shares why bench players can be more valuable than starters, how relationships with coaches, teammates, and even family affect performance, and why psychological talent often matters more than physical skill.
