Business Coach & Mentor Teaches the Power of Over Delivering

NBA Hall of Famer and two-time gold medalist, David Robinson, has teamed up with Thrive15.com, an online business coach platform for entrepreneurs, business leaders, and career professionals as a business coach, to teach about over delivering. According to Robinson, learning to over deliver could lead to being overpaid.

In his training on Thrive15.com, Over Deliver and Soon You Will Be Overpaid, Robinson recalls his first year with the San Antonio Spurs. Robinson shares that when he first joined the Spurs organization he developed the mindset that it was his job to help the organization succeed in every single way that he could. His understanding was that if the organization was successful, then he was going to be successful. His willingness to do anything for the good of the whole team led him to travel the state of Texas as a spokesperson for the organization. As Robinson explains it, it turned into something good and the organization started to turn around. His leadership skills and more is what makes him such a great business coach.

Robinson believes that a key component to over delivering is having a genuine desire to serve people. From Robinson’s perspective, when someone over delivers, they are leaving a legacy, they are pouring their life into other people. Robinson relates that when someone is bringing in more than they are being paid for, that effort is recognized and that person becomes incredibly valuable.

Robinson, who was extremely successful throughout his 14-year career as a basketball player, has a great passion for improving education and led to the creation of the Carver Academy, a school for elementary-age children in the San Antonio area. Robinson is also the co-founder of the Admiral Capital Group, a $250 million private equity fund whose portfolio includes nine upscale hotels, Centerplate, one of the top hospitality companies in the world, and national sports retailer, Academy Sports + Outdoors.

NBA Hall of Famer & Business Coach Teaches the Importance of Over Delivering

Many people want to grow their business or advance in their careers, but are missing out. According to NBA Hall of Famer and co-founder of the $250 million Admiral Capital Group, David Robinson, learning to over deliver could lead to being overpaid for the results that one can produce. Robinson has teamed up with online educational platform, Thrive15.com, to teach about the art of over delivering in a video course titled, Over Deliver and Soon You Will Be Overpaid.

In his training, Robinson shares his experience with the San Antonio Spurs before he was a household name. Robinson recalls in the training that when he first became a part of the Spurs organization his mentality was that it was his job to help in every single way that he could, understanding that if the business was successful, he was going to be successful. As a result of this mentality, and his desire to go above and beyond, he traveled the state of Texas as a spokesperson for the organization and helped to generate season ticket sales. As Robinson puts it, this turned into something good and the organization started to turn around.

Robinson says that one of the keys to over delivering is to start with kindness and deliver it consistently. A key component to this concept is to find how to bring joy to the people around you.

The Admiral Explains Prioritization and Trade-Offs as Business Coach on Online Platform

How do successful people get things done on a regular basis? Thrive15.com mentor, business coach, and NBA Hall of Famer, David Robinson, shares in his training, Putting First Things First, that by setting clear priorities and planning daily to align with those priorities, one can achieve success.

In his training, Robinson unpacks how he is able to get things done daily through the use of a prioritization system. Robinson in the training explains that he has determined, based on his values, that his priorities are ordered with his faith at the top, followed by family, physical fitness, finances, and relationships. Robinson shares that by taking time out of each day to look at his schedule and organize the things he is doing daily around his priorities, he is able to make trade-offs that make sense for him.

The biggest key, Robinson explains, is setting aside time daily to plan out what needs to get done. Robinson cautions to set realistic expectations for how setting a priority in one area has an effect on the productivity of other areas. As an example, Robinson points out that if someone devotes more time to family than in a business, then productivity in that business will be decreased and vice versa. For Robinson, knowing what is important helps to determine the priority and what things come first.

Robinson, as well as being an accomplished basketball player, has a passion for education and has founded the Carver Academy, a school for elementary-age children. Additionally, Robinson co-founded the Admiral Capital Group in 2007. Today, it is a $250 million private equity fund whose portfolio includes Centerplate, one of the top hospitality companies in the world, nine upscale hotels, and national sports retailer, Academy Sports + Outdoors.
