I've been really fortunate to spend time with some of the best athletes in the world, whether it's through my podcast or whether it's through other relationships I've had in my life, I've gotten to be inside certain circles that put me in spaces with professional athletes. I also had a sport psychology practice where I worked with a number of professional athletes. One of my favorite athletes that I've ever interacted with is today's guest. Zaza Pachulia is just an amazing human. He's likeable, he's thoughtful, he's curious, he's caring; he is the type of person that you just want to be around. He was an amazing teammate; I think if you asked players that played with Zaza, that's how they would describe him: a great teammate who would do whatever it took to help the team win, including some of the not so glamorous aspects like playing defense and setting screens and helping out on the boards; he was an amazing offensive rebounder. As I think about today's conversation, it actually has less to do with Zaza's 16 years and over 1000 games that he played in the NBA, and more to do with his mindset and his curiosity and his desire to learn, grow, develop, be vulnerable, be willing to change, be willing to evolve, be willing to grow. At the core, that's as much who Zaza is as winning 2 championship rings with the Golden State Warriors. And make no mistake, he's also a competitor. He cares deeply about winning and being the best version of him that he can be when it comes to parenting, when it comes to mentoring, and when it comes to playing a game.   Zaza had a number of amazing insights during our conversation. Some of them include: “Every human being has a turning point in their lives” (6:15). “Every day is a battle” (9:20). “[Your kids] have to have goals, have to have dreams, and how can we, as parents, make sure that every day they wake up they're inspired” (11:15). “Give your best, give 100% every single day” (13:35). “We all have different journeys. Every successful person has different paths to success” (15:35). “When I retired from basketball, I had to work on myself because I was preparing to live a different kind of life” (21:45). “It's not only about what I tell [my kids]. It's not authentic if I tell them to be happy but I'm miserable” (22:55). “Kids observe everything” (25:55). “Lead [your kids] by example” (26:35). “I was lucky to have coaches who cared a lot” (27:40). “It's not about what outsiders think. It's about what we think as a group, as a family” (31:30). “Control whatever is in your hands” (36:25). “I believe in consistency and I believe in authenticity. You have to be who you are” (38:50). “I am who I am, but I am the same person every day” (39:05). “In everybody's journey, decisions are such an important part” (46:45). “Basketball helped me bring [my curiosity] into my real life” (53:15). “You're never going to get time back” (1:00:45). “Curiosity led me to reading and hearing the stories of amazing people” (1:01:00). “Basketball has always been priority number one” (1:02:40). “I gave everything to basketball and basketball gave lots of things back to me” (1:02:55). Additionally, you can find out more about the Zaza Pachulia Basketball Academy here. Thank you so much to Zaza for coming on the podcast! I wrote a book called “Shift Your Mind” that was released in October of 2020, and you can order it on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. Additionally, I have launched a company called Strong Skills, and I encourage you to check out our new website https://www.strongskills.co/.

In this episode of the Connected Leadership Podcast, Andy Lopata interviews Zaza Pachulia, a former professional basketball player and current executive at the Golden State Warriors. Zaza won two NBA championships with the Warriors and played over a thousand games in the NBA. He was born in Georgia and came to the US via Turkey, overcoming the enormous competition of traditional basketball-playing nations. He discusses his passion for basketball and shares how his love and commitment to the game, combined with his hard work, sacrifice, and self-discipline, helped him achieve success in an arena where talent alone is not enough. Pachulia also talks about the challenges he faced in maintaining relationships with friends and family while dedicating his life to basketball and how he achieved balance during the off-season. Zaza shares his early struggles in the league and how he focused on overcoming his weaknesses to become a top player. He emphasises the importance of acknowledging one's weaknesses, being open to learning, and seeking help. Zaza also talks about the support he received from his teammates, mentors and coaches. He gives examples of how veteran players mentored him and shared their knowledge and experience with him, and how his European older brother, Tony Kukoc, helped him navigate his early career. Zaza reflects on his struggles throughout his 16-year career, including the cultural shock and mental health challenges, and discusses how he addressed them through positivity, consistency, and with support. Andy and Zaza talk about the importance of being a role model, inspiring and motivating kids throughout his career, emphasising the impact that role models had on him when he was growing up. Mentoring young players, such as Yanis Antetokounmpo, and being a positive influence is an essential part of his post-basketball career. Zaza also highlights the importance of continuing to learn and grow, citing his own experiences studying at prestigious business schools in the US. He stresses the importance of being prepared for life after sports, as injury or unexpected circumstances can abruptly end a career; athletes need to have a plan B. Communication and connection within organisations has been important. Also, bridging business and sports departments and understanding the business side of the NBA. This episode highlights the importance of caring deeply about one's work, investing hours of hard work, sacrifice, and self-discipline, and achieving balance in life to succeed professionally and personally.
