68. Community Episode - Overcoming Adversity, Owning Your Growth, and Dealing With Setbacks
In this special community episode of the Wonbyone Podcast, Obi reflects on the emotional highs and lows of pro basketball—from early losses that shaped his identity to the internal scoreboard that keeps him grounded today. He shares how setbacks forced him to level up, what players can do to build confidence, and why keeping your edge means more than just staying in shape.
This episode is a raw, behind-the-scenes look at the mental side of the game. Whether you're a young athlete or just navigating your own journey, it’s a reminder that your growth starts where your excuses end.
📍 Topics covered:
- Learning from losses and early career wake-up calls
- Managing emotions and expectations as a pro athlete
- Why the internal scoreboard matters more than stats
