Jaylen Brown and the Spiritual Game | Sportuality Ep. 4

Liner notes

NBA Champion and Finals MVP Jaylen Brown joins Gotham Chopra and Varun Soni live on the Sport Beach stage at Cannes for a conversation about the inner game of basketball.

Jaylen opens up about the paper he wrote at 19 at UC Berkeley titled "Religion of Sport," why he tells himself nothing instead of positive self-talk to reach flow state, and how underwater training taught him to stay relaxed under pressure. He breaks down energy and vibration as actual physics, the difference between a performance-based identity and a purpose-based one, what he learned from the lineage of Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Muhammad Ali, and why he refuses to stop using his platform no matter the cost. He closes on his intention to lead with authenticity, community, and philanthropy.
