Pete Maravich died from an undiagnosed heart defect, but because no one knew about it, his parents never told him he was fragile. The speaker argues your identity shapes your results: choose an empowering one and you expand what's possible; accept a limiting one and you shrink.
There was a NBA player. His name was Pete Maravich. He died relatively young. I think he was, like, late 40s, early 50s. And he died playing pickup basketball. He had a heart attack on a playground. When they did the autopsy, they found out that one of the ventricles in his heart was collapsed. And he shouldn't have lived past the age of, like, 11 without massive heart surgery. But because he didn't know, he didn't identify as a sick kid. So his parents, without knowing that he actually was walking around with, like, a ticking time bomb, they didn't put the consciousness in the identity of, like, wait, it's not safe. You shouldn't play basketball. He just lived fully. So the consciousness, the identity of what you tell yourself about who you are and what's possible, is 100% responsible for your results.
