No lie there's a really valuable lesson here. Don't let the whole task overwhelm you, just focus on the next step in front of you and you'll get there eventually.
@@xPrivateFigure but come one man, let the guest speak as well 😂 usually when we hear the guest speak is when they’re telling a story about Gil 😂 love him though. Big fan of his. Got a lot of knowledge for the game and should be on a team staff
Man I remember I ran 12 miles once at 260lbs, and every thing he said is true. Miles 1-3 I was fighting this wall of “ok I don’t want to do this”. Then miles 3-6 it’s like a crazy body high feels like you could run forever. Miles 6-8 body feels like it’s in pain. After you push through the pain it’s like your body is in autopilot from miles 8-12. I left after mile 12 cause I believe it started raining. It’s amazing what your mind can do once you stop focusing on everything and just push through whatever is in front of you
This is one of the best videos I've ever watched. He just explained how he entered a state of samādhi (समाधि), or complete absorption with his basketball shot. This is what life is all about. Everything else is nonsense. Get to it, dear friends...
This is what made someone like Kobe, so special. It wasn’t that he was just talented, the dude would outwork everyone on the court, every night. He wanted it more than anyone else, straight up. But, his greatness was honed in the gym, in many off seasons. When other dudes were going on vacation and chilling on a beach, Kobe was putting in the work, to get even better. This is why players like Kuzma, who would much rather dress up goofy and do runway shows, during their offseason, stay as fringe players. “How bad do you want it?” A lot of these current fringe players don’t want it enough.
And that’s perfectly fine if a player doesn’t want to dedicate their entire existence to the game. There’s more to life for some players. But you’re right, you’ll never get to the top doing it that way. Kuz has had a great career considering, man was never expected to be as good as he is now
I respect how humble an down to earth Gilbert is, an how humble he is to the game of basketball an other players game skills. I just feel he is underrated an not talked about enough..💯🐐
I took THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of shots like hes talking about for YEARS! what i realized from all those shots is the most important part to making shots consistently is a proper follow-through on every shot. A consistent follow through will negate negative factors such as a bad form or not jumping optimal on jumpshots. A simple way to master it is simply hold the follow through until the shot reaches the rim make or miss
damn straight I never shot as much as you, but the moment I started doing that and not thinking about my shot suddenly I was making shit. Hit two game winners in three practice games for my small town "Hobby" team lol.
@@cognitivedisability9864 im not saying i took thousands of shots every day im saying in general thousands of shots. I never counted how many i took made or missed but i know when i woke up the next day shoulders would be sore like i was doing sets of push ups all day the day before so it was alot of shots mostly top of the key threes for 3-4 hours straight with 5 mins break/rest all together
Gil was a great player and I loved watching him…it’s amazing how he did all of this and then you’ll think about the true greats of the game. Gil doesn’t matched up to them so I can only imagine how truly blessed you have to be to be a great in a sport
Damn that's some shit I needed to hear. I'm starting to really get into training my body and there's days that it's screaming at me and I give in to weakness and unravel the discipline I've worked towards. I need to train my mind so that thought is never even an option.
That's crazy, workout to you black out. Shooting 1,000 shots at 5 diferent spots on the floor. What nba player is doing that now? None. Gil ur the best.
KD. Giannis. Steph. And to a lesser extent, Dame & LeBron. But I think that's it, unless you count a few new guys who might give it up soon. Good question.
@@johnnybrison4150 No one shoots that many. Gil maybe did it this once. I'm talking about the dudes that be shooting 1,000 to 2,000 makes daily in the off-season. I've asked NBA friends, and those are the names I got. Maybe they're lying, I dunno 🤷🏾♂️
Bunch of guys you don't know. And this is stupid, what he's saying. In the last 20 years we've learned a lot. You can't outwork your healing rate. It's not the work, it's the recovery. Arenas shooting numbers are not all time epic like he makes it sound. You could always get by him on defense. Here's a tip. Watch these vids with Arenas' actual stats open in another tab. More is not always better. Rarely is, in fact.
I remember Quinn Cook saying in an interview he does two a day workouts in the off season. I think a lot of dudes are getting it in honestly. Maybe not 5000 shots but daily grinding
If anyone has done anything that really pushes you. You know exactly what he is talking about. Your brain has this battle this conflict at first. Where random excuses or reasons to stop. And you will keep telling yourself the opposite to keep going. Screw that. And eventually you will either quit or something clicks to where you start playing these little games that Gilbert was talking about. Little things to focus on that keeps you engaged and from stopping. And then you will start remembering random things that happened in your life. Usually something that made you very upset or mad. Very dramatic experiences and it’s almost like you are dreaming and not in your body. It’s very strange what the mind does when the body is pushed
figured this out alone at the court one day, got to the point where i started shooting from 3 with my eyes closed or starring at my opponent to left or right of me. the "Oh shit/wtf" looks i used to get ill never forget lol
Love hearing all this,. As someone who pissed away their opportunity’s in baseball it’s cool to hear from someone who didn’t and proceeded to meet their potential. I try to explain this to my daughter and I can’t help but feel like a poser knowing I waisted my chance and preaching to her about going about it with everything she has.
Being in the streets probably kept me from playing ball. He’s right about the 1k or 2k shots i learned that from Tom Izzo I can still shoot the blood out the ball.
That’s how my High School Varsity Coach did practice (ESPECIALLY IF WE JUST LOST*) we practice until either someone fainted 😵💫😴 or puked 🤢🤮 Thank you Coach Fernandez you NOT only made me into a better Basketball Player but a BETTER MAN.!!!
I tried blackout workout twice and passed out at the same 24 hours fitness. They called an ambulance both times and I had to tell them I just need water/gatorade. Never did it again after lol

@@NSmith-hh1ys I'm glad you got it.
Facts
@@NSmith-hh1ysAgreed!
Gil invites people on the show so that he can tell them his stories.
He’s giving them free game.

And I’m thoroughly entertained every time
He accomplished alot. He doesn’t open up to many. Let this man use this as his therapy. We are so critical of others. Let that man be!
Lmaoooo facts

this story/segment is really gold. The things you have to go thru in sports just to realize exactly how powerful the mind is with supreme focus
I remember around that time that Gilbert was getting up 200,000 shots during the summer and it’s crazy to hear this story and math is mathing. 🔥
Mann thats so trill
No Sir, the math was mathening.
VO looks really humble and down to earth.
Legitimately listening to GIl's stories.
This was a huge metaphor for life
I’ve listened to this about 20 times now. This is pure gold he’s sharing from start to finish.
This is one of the best videos I've ever watched.
He just explained how he entered a state of samādhi (समाधि), or complete absorption with his basketball shot.
This is what life is all about. Everything else is nonsense.
Get to it, dear friends...
Or a “Flow State”
Beautiful comparison. Kobe mastered that state as well.
This is what made someone like Kobe, so special. It wasn’t that he was just talented, the dude would outwork everyone on the court, every night. He wanted it more than anyone else, straight up. But, his greatness was honed in the gym, in many off seasons. When other dudes were going on vacation and chilling on a beach, Kobe was putting in the work, to get even better.

He was definitely more talented than most
Absolute facts!!!!! He was so special and so unique, RIP Bean, GG, and everyone else lost in the tragedy 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
& Ben Simmons
Kuz been balling this year tho.
I respect how humble an down to earth Gilbert is, an how humble he is to the game of basketball an other players game skills. I just feel he is underrated an not talked about enough..💯🐐

@@BSABD315 just a hatin ass low life troll thats projecting his shortcomings onto you 🤷🏾♂️
This is such a powerful gem/lesson, w/e you want to call it
The work effort was different for Gil and it showed after those free throws
There is great wisdom in this segment.
There alot of wise here. I hope ppl paid attention 💯
Kobe was very different type of human man were lucky to have witnessed it fr
These insights are so invaluable. This is why I watch Gil.
Had to listen to this one a few times~ so many gems~ this is how GA became the best
Gil was a great player and I loved watching him…it’s amazing how he did all of this and then you’ll think about the true greats of the game. Gil doesn’t matched up to them so I can only imagine how truly blessed you have to be to be a great in a sport
This was crazy inspiring for some reason 🤣 I wanna go do 10,000 shots a spot now
Wow such a valuable story this can be applied to many things if you think about it.. those that work hard can go so far…🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 💯
THANK YOU GILBERT FOR THIS STORY. I AM VERY MUCH MOTIVATED, ON MY WAY TO THE GYM RIGHT NOWW!!!!
It bring into perspective when the last dance they said mike would be playing a game witnin a game against himself
Damn that's some shit I needed to hear. I'm starting to really get into training my body and there's days that it's screaming at me and I give in to weakness and unravel the discipline I've worked towards. I need to train my mind so that thought is never even an option.
Like draykond said to Paul Pierce we don’t love you like we love Kobe…. Stop talking Kobe rip💯💪🏾
Gilbert was unstoppable on offense in his prime.
Hibachi! Agent Zero!
His prime was like 2 seasons.
Gil: If you throw up blood, keep going
Vic: 😳
Gil is the Joey Diaz of basketball podcast lol invites guest and just shares his story
He got hurt
Gil scaring these young guys talking about the blackout workouts 😆
Man listening to some of these stories is amazing Bro!!
Can someone send this to Ben
Rent free
Gil wasn't just talking..he was giving Victor the cheat code
facts bro but the amount of people that missed this was wild lol
Too bad they both couldn't stay injury free. That's what messes up everything
@@da11king facts. Both of their careers would be drastically different if it weren't for injuries
@@aboutmillions lol. I know, it's so obvious.
The cap code
That's crazy, workout to you black out. Shooting 1,000 shots at 5 diferent spots on the floor. What nba player is doing that now? None. Gil ur the best.

That's how my work is I'll work till I pass out .. Mamba mentally.! RIP kobe and his daughter with everyone else on that flight
2:30 KOBE SAID THIS ‼️‼️‼️‼️ when it came with doing sprints
That's brilliant. I did find this very helpful. Thanks for posting this story.
Need a Gil & Steph interview
This was just best story by far. Amen

Now imagine if the guy training Kobe was David Goggins
WOE
Kobe is the David Goggins of basketball
Wonder how non athletes an utilize training like that
Definitely true had a moment like this b4
Wow, gonna get this mentality into my daily life. Time to black out on everything.
If that was Gilbert’s workout, what the hell did Kobe go through?!
The same, Gilbert was an insane worker.
Thanks 👍 Gilbert. Great information ℹ️
“Kobe was working out with a black ops guy named Frank”.
Frank Woods??
Focus on the moment one moment at a time. Dial in the focus when anxiousness and anxiety kicks in.
He met David Goggins 😂😅
4:53 I lost it😂😂
This reminds me of some DBZ hyperbolic chamber or gravity machine type training.
gil gon put just tha right amount of cap on it to make it a good story lol

Being in the streets probably kept me from playing ball. He’s right about the 1k or 2k shots i learned that from Tom Izzo I can still shoot the blood out the ball.
When you play with your heart like Kobe did🥰💜💛you WILL play till you can't play no more🥰💜💛l love you forever Kobe and GiGi too 💜💛 and ❤️🖤💚
Definitely a mental exercise...i thought tha blue house wuz like a metaphor like run till u hallucinate
It probably was LOL....the house just so happened to be blue when they stopped running
Just meditate, you don't gotta see no black ops soldiers lmao
Yes you do both will help
So powerful!
That’s how my High School Varsity Coach did practice (ESPECIALLY IF WE JUST LOST*) we practice until either someone fainted 😵💫😴 or puked 🤢🤮
Thank you Coach Fernandez you NOT only made me into a better Basketball Player but a BETTER MAN.!!!
Gil's show is his mental therapy.
Facts.. I've done it. True story
Ja Morant needs to sit with this guy...
Kobe is The G.O.A.T.
black ops vet frank like call of duties black ops vet frank ????
gem of a video. the real onow
Inspiration!!!!
Bravo!!, If you want true Greatness then you have to do Extraordinary "ish" to see True Greatness it just doesn't happen until you make it happen
Ben Simmons need to go see the seal guy smh
Amazing interview!!!!
Hi Gilbert ❤️❤️🙏🏽
I understand what he is saying. The mind is powerful tool
that dude should train Markelle Fultz
Kobe bryant work ethic legendary
Wow this is Gold
Cannot lie this was powerful
Love this
This is some of the most amazing shit I’ve ever heard
Wow. Kobe’s work ethic was fucking insane man.
Fax. He was the best player in the world at the time.
I tried blackout workout twice and passed out at the same 24 hours fitness. They called an ambulance both times and I had to tell them I just need water/gatorade. Never did it again after lol
People need to see this comment ! Gil is a dumbass and his career didn’t last long
7:10 *TALK THAT SHIT GIL*
😆 😅 😂 🤣
hate when pllp downplay “mamba mentality” like basketball isnt all about physical gifts & skill,…its very mental
LONG LIVE KOBE 🖤
This is why Kobe knew Gil was special 🔥🔥
Powerful
I think my nigga Gil put a lil extra on it lmaoo a 4 hour run for a warmup and then from 100 shots a shot to 1000 is crazy
ALWAYS WELL SIR!
Gil become the guest 🤦🏾♂️😂
The interviewer become the host🤦🏾♂️🙄😂
Yeaaaaaaaa coach 🥊
The blue house technique is genius.
How I wish that nick young get to know gil on that time of his career nick young will be a different animal with all of his skillset
this is gold
Facts makerting genuis
Me @ 3:22 “on the SET👌🏽🩸I’m out this 🅱️itch” 😂
