What the Knicks' Championship Run Can Teach Us About Showing Up When It's Hard

from Fresh Perspectives · host Rachel Lauren

Send us Fan MailThe Knicks just won the NBA Championship and the way they did it had me inspired.They trailed by double digits in every single game they won in the finals. They were down 29 points in game four. And they still won. That's not luck. That's a mentality.In this episode, I'm breaking down what the Knicks' comeback run, and Jalen Brunson's story specifically, can teach us about showing up for our goals when the deficit feels too big, when the world has already written us off, and when quitting would be the easiest thing to do.Most of us aren't losing. We're just in the fourth quarter.Follow Fresh Perspectives on Instagram @freshperspectivespod and share this episode with a Knicks fan or New Yorker in your life!
