Phil Beckner: What It Takes To Be Great, Damian Lillard, and The Formula For Success | #210

In episode 210, Max chats with Legendary NBA Skills Trainer Phil Beckner! Phil takes us inside what it truly takes to be great. From growing up in a broken home to finding the one person who believed in him, to training Damian Lillard for 15 years, Phil’s journey is proof of resilience and relentless standards. At the core of his philosophy are two ultimate factors: your behaviours and your responses. These are what separate those who stand out from those who fall behind. We dive into the processes behind becoming the best in the world, how to hold yourself and others accountable, and what it was like working with now NBA championship-winning coach Mark Daigneault at OKC Blue. Phil also takes us inside the Weber State locker room, where 2 of 5 coaches voted that Damian Lillard wouldn’t make it through training camp. He shares how Dame proved them wrong, and gives an update on his recovery and the work they’re doing with Formula Zero. An incredible conversation with one of the best in the game.
