#10: Interview with Mike Nilson- Former Gonzaga Basketball Player & Current Head Strength Coach on True Commitment, Overcoming Perfectionism, Playing with John Stockton, Saying No to the Victim Mental
On this episode of the Young Dumb & Woke Podcast, I had the true privilege of interviewing Mike Nilson. Mike is not only extraordinarily successful in a multitude of areas - he’s also just a really incredible human being. He’s the Head Strength Coach at Gonzaga University, host of his own Podcast, an owner of U-District PT, a sports nutritionist, and holds a master’s degree in Leadership.
In this conversation, Mike and I get into what it took to walk on at Gonzaga (including carrying a basketball with him EVERYWHERE he went), what true commitment can do to your life, the value of good parenting & family, how to maintain a healthy relationship, the importance of fighting the victim mentality, our mutual love for guitar, choosing one topic per year to learn about & studying it EVERY DAY, why the one thing he would tell himself at my age is “start the calendar earlier,” and more!
I know you will walk away from this conversation feeling more inspired, grateful, and with more tools to get the most out of life.
I hope you enjoy this wide-ranging conversation with the one and only Mike Nilson!
If you did – don’t forget to leave a review and a 5-Star rating on both Apple and Spotify.
