For many years Pau Gasol was at the forefront of the basketball world as a two-time champion with the Los Angeles Lakers and a mainstay of international competition, leading his home country of Spain to three Olympic medals. Now retired, Gasol is the President of Gasol16 Ventures and the Gasol Foundation. His latest partnership is with BetterUp, the largest mental health and coaching startup in the world dedicated to helping people "live their lives with greater clarity, purpose, and passion."
As part of the partnership Gasol was interviewed by BetterUp's Chief Impact Officer, Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex. Released on Thursday, Gasol reveals in the interview his advice for maintaining peak performance and how he finds his "flow", a state of complete focus and absorption in an activity. In a wide-ranging conversation, Gasol also touches upon his basketball journey, his time as Kobe Bryant's teammate, the importance of chemistry, battling and overcoming fatigue, and more. The interview can be viewed here for non-BetterUp members.
