    #5 Imran Khan: From Humiliation to Greatness

    The world saw Imran Khan as a legend. A World Cup-winning captain. One of the greatest all-rounders cricket has ever produced.But that was only the ending.This episode is on Imran Khan.Based on his autobiography, Imran: Autobiography of Imran Khan, I break down the moments that built him — a teenager picked last, a young cricketer convinced he’d already made it, and the humiliation that forced him to rebuild everything from the ground up.This is the story of obsession. Of ego getting exposed. Of a decision to become something greater — and the price that came with it.This is about what it actually took to become Imran Khan, and the version of himself he had to destroy along the way.📖 Imran: Autobiography of Imran Khan

    #4 How Sugar Ray Leonard's Mind Really Worked

    The world saw Sugar Ray Leonard as polished, charming, and almost untouchable. The guy who talked kidnappers down and rescued babies. The second coming of Muhammad Ali.But that was only half the story.This episode is on Sugar Ray Leonard. Based on his autobiography, I break down the environment that built him, a childhood surrounded by violence at home and on the streets, a hunger for control that led him to boxing, and a personal life that spiralled behind the glitz and glamour nobody saw.This is about what it actually cost him to be Sugar Ray Leonard, and the opponent he spent decades fighting that no crowd could ever see.📖 Sugar Ray Leonard — The Big Fight: The Autobiography

    #3 How Roger Federer Made It Look Effortless

    I always thought of Federer as calm and in control.But after reading The Master by Christopher Clarey, that wasn’t always the case.Early on, he was emotional, volatile and hard on himself. And what I found interesting is how much of his energy was being lost because of that.This episode is me going through that shift.What actually changed, what helped him change, and how he managed to build that level of control over time.Book: The Master by Christopher Clarey
