Taurean Prince, an NBA player who was recently traded to the Brooklyn Nets, talks about how his difficult circumstances growing up taught him the importance of maintaining a positive attitude, no matter the situation. He also breaks down how that approach has contributed to his success as a professional athlete.

Prince then talks about the need to prepare for life after basketball, why he focuses on his family and the importance of viewing difficult situations as opportunities to grow.
