065 | Lesila Finau (Part 2): How to Build Confidence, Work Ethic & Love the Process

In Part 2 of Teige Morrell’s conversation with professional basketball player Lesila Finau, Sila opens up about the behind-the-scenes reality of playing basketball professionally and the mindset that has helped her continue to grow through it all. They talk about developing a serious work ethic in college, handling the confidence challenges that come with moving into more competitive environments, knowing you belong, building a strong support system and maintaining a life outside basketball. Sila also explains what it means to her to fall in love with the process—and why the unseen work, consistency and willingness to show up are what ultimately help athletes reach their potential. 📱Stay Connected Want help teaching your young athlete to focus less on instant results and more on the habits that actually build confidence and growth?
