Run It Back: You vs. You with NFL Hall of Famer Ronde Barber
In this "Run It Back" episode, ReliaQuest Director of Mental Performance Derin McMains revisits a powerful conversation with NFL Hall of Famer Ronde Barber from November 8, 2023.

The episode highlights Barber’s philosophy: “Don’t be just like that guy, because then you’re only ever going to be as good as that guy.” Instead, Barber focused on chasing perfection and setting his own standard, embracing a "you vs. you" approach—a mindset echoed by other greats like Olympic swimmer Katie Ledecky and renowned surgeon Dr. Atul Gawande.
