Throughout the episode, he stresses the importance of self-reflection and being intentional about who you want to be.
As Michael puts it, 'For me, basketball is a metaphor for life. The way I play basketball is the way I live my life'. Tune in to hear how a simple game became a powerful tool for healing and personal growth.
