He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her. Now he's insisting we get to know each other, but I just want her gone.

December 29th, 1975, LaGuardia Airport. The holiday rush, parents hauling luggage, kids gripping their new Christmas toys.

Then everything changed. There's been a bombing at the TWA. terminal, just a chaotic, chaotic scene. In its wake, a new kind of enemy emerged, terrorism. Listen to the new season of Law and Order Criminal Justice System on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Jay Shetty, and I'm the host of the on-purpose podcast, and today I'm joined by one of the greatest athletes of all time, Novak Djokovic.

He's won 14 grand slams in a glittering career. Novak, Djokovic. When you reach your 30, you start counting your days to your retirement. I'm 38 this year. How long can I push my own limits? Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the IHart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Every day I wake up.

Wake your ass up. The breakfast club. You're all finished or y'all's done. Morning, everybody. It's DJ. NV. Jess hilarious. Charlemagne de Guy. We are the Breakfast Club.

We got a special guests in the building. Lawlerosa is here as well. We got a special guest in the building. Yes, indeed. Training to the NBA players and a host of other things he has going on. Ladies and gentlemen, Chris Brickley. Welcome back.

Man, thanks for having me. How are you feeling? I feel great. You know, I feel like coming to this show three times, it means like you're doing something right. To me, this is the doper show. Got the biggest platform where you guys do is amazing. So to come three times is dope.

I'm a little tired. Last night I wanted a little. drive went to my old apartments just to like you know kind of like celebrate where I'm at right now and yeah I'm just thankful in the moment what's important why did you decide to do that why you wanted to go back most people go forward yeah why do you want to go back and see where you so you know going on the breakfast club was cool for the third time so I'm like okay I'm literally going to drive to 106 in Columbus then I drove to I lived in um cliffside park and then so I drove to all these just uh I do that just sometimes when I feel like I might be losing motivation just to get that back.

And then also sometimes in celebration mode type thing. Yeah. Yeah. Now, for people that don't know who you are, you're an NBA trainer. You play basketball for Louisville. Yeah. And what got you into training basketball? Why do people feel like you are the trainer that they should work with?

Because we've seen you work with people like, of course, Mello, we've seen you work with LeBron. We've seen you work with Hard and Westbrook. Just to name a few. Yeah. So why are you the person that people say I got to train with Chris? man that's a that's a great question i thank god every day um i think at the end of the day i'm a good person um i study my craft and the players know i care and also i'd be dumb not to say luck comes

with anything anyone really successful some type of luck needs to come along the way yeah yeah so how much of a player's development is mental versus physical that's a great question um That's so many players that if you watch the workout, they wouldn't miss a shot. And you'd be like, they should be in the NBA. They play in Europe. It's because when the game comes, they just become like a mental midget. Like they miss a shot, then they just pack it in. So, yeah, the mental aspect is huge.

So, like, my job is, A, I'm a trainer teaching players how to play, but then also teaching players like, don't get too down, hold yourself accountable. A lot of mental stuff, yeah. So mental is a big part of it. Huge, huge. So outside of mental, what else do you look at with a player when you're like, okay, this player's going to be a star? Yeah, so that's two ways I go about it.

So sometimes I'll work with a player and he's already an all-star. So in those aspects, they still want to get better, but they'll be like, study my game, try and figure out what I need to get better at. I'll tell them what I think, and then we'll attack it. Then you have situations like Donovan Mitchell. So I started working with Donovan Mitchell. He had like 700 followers on Instagram.

He was like in 11th grade. Now he's an NBA superstar. So to do that and see that, it's super dope. I did that with Cian Anthony, Cole Anthony, and recently, Sierra, Future Jr. He's 11 years old. Russell Wilson hits me up, and he's like, yo, I want you to do what you did to Cyan, Cole, Donovan, to my son. So he's been in the gym. But let me ask you, when you, like a player like LeBron, right?

Who's probably one of the best players ever, one of, right? What do you train him to make him better? Like, what can make him better? 100%. What makes you, like... He's the goat. So, yeah, you're right. It's like, uh, so A, he can get better at things.

Like, even great players, they always have some flaws in their game. Once we started working, LeBron was like, all right, I want you to watch film tonight, come over to the workout tomorrow and tell me two things that I need to get better at. So this is like nerve-wracking going to LeBron. He put you on a test. Yeah, he did. And so I gave him two things. He liked him.

And, uh, yeah. So that there's always weaknesses. There's always weaknesses, even in the grates. Now, you call LeBron the goat, people will be like, LeBron's not the goat. Jordan is the goat. So why do you have LeBron as your goat? Man.

He scored the most points in NBA history. That's just a fact. He holds so many records. I mean, I fact, doing it in this era with the social media and all that, all the hate. It's just a lot what he's gone through. He's one team championships with three teams. His brand is giant.

So is with Jordans. But now I'm team LeBron. day. How do you feel when people be coming for Brani? It's messed up. We can swear on this, right? Yeah. It's fucked up. Because the end of the day, he didn't choose to be LeBron's

son. Like, he he's a great, he's literally like a great kid. And you could tell, you know, it's like a little, it's a sore spot for the family. I wouldn't want to mess. Someone mess with my kid. None of you guys would. But Brunney's actually really good. I think

that, uh, I think he's just going to peak like in a year or two you think he should be in the league because that's your trainer yeah for sure for sure because people don't understand before his freshman year he had that hard stuff right like I think he had the guess was a seizure or he passed out he's something major couldn't so he could play like half the season so yeah he's an NBA player yeah what what made you pivot to being a trainer right rather than for sure in a career being a player Yeah, so obviously I wanted to be a NBA player But I wasn't good enough

So I couldn't I couldn't You trade all these players But you couldn't change yourself Chris? Yeah, nah Nah, nah Some of the best people So I made the most time So I grew up in New Hampshire

You know I still hold the record Many records there Played at Louisville I had two NBA guys in front of me And yeah I could have gone overseas But I was like I played for Rick Petino And then so my two mentors

The Rick Patino And Phil Jackson Who's actually on the shirt two of the greatest coaches ever do it and so I'm like okay if I have the opportunity to know these guys let's attack this coaching thing so I did the coaching thing

I'm like nah it's not for me so then I started training thing who was the first player that believed in you as a trainer I said you know what I'm shout to Jayr Smith that's one of my close friends my first year when I was with the Knicks I was making $300 a week

he let me stay in his coach so I stayed on Jayr's couch for the whole year shout to Jared for that he didn't have to do that Yeah, Jay Harris is a good guy. Did you see recently Dawn Saly was talking about she interviewed to be the coach of the Knicks? Yeah. What do you think about that? I mean, I think it's fire.

That would have been so fire. That would have been so fire. I don't know if I feel like they would have known how to protect her in the way she might have needed. Because she in New York. Right, everything that would have came her way and I would have hated to have seen that. But I don't know much about sports. I just know it's like being a black woman. Yeah, nah, for sure.

I wanted to get the job. I think soon enough there will be a coach in the NBA that's a girl. there you had girl refs it's kind of funny when the players are yelling at the but uh yeah no i think it's coming soon for sure what's the most slept-on player in NBA right now to you slept on right now in the league so like there's levels i guess but i would say tie jerome tie jerome yeah he's like uh another kid i guess i'm being biased i've worked with him since like eighth grade and just to see that there's no better feeling working with the kid and watching him like achieve his dreams no absolutely have you ever uh

trained somebody that you knew they were just going to be trash even after you even after you I'm dead maybe if I do like favorite workouts like but like for like someone's some celebrity son like clue you know clue is overly confident he's like delusionally confident but so he has but to be a good shooter you need to be delusionally confident but he's this not a great shooter yet You're talking about DJ Clue? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Clue plays basketball. Clue takes basketball serious.

So I do these rapper runs. I do these rapper runs, and it'll be like Drake, Cuevo, Bieber, and Clu's there. He's there. Oh, okay. No, no, Clu plays well for real. Like, he comes, like, yes.

I know his outfits be matching. All the time. What are you thinking about his jump shot? When he throws, like, from the side. It goes in, though. It does, it does. And he's probably going to get mad at me for what I've said. Me too.

He's a good guy. I want to ask, you know, when you train these players, And you look at somebody like LeBron or you look at somebody like Chris Paul that are, you know, 40-year-old. But they still play good ball. Sure. Why do you think they're able to play so good at this age

where a lot of players at the age of 32 got to tap out? Is it the training? Is it their body in shape? Or is it their IQ when it comes to basketball? It's the way they approach. So LeBron will do it at 8 a.m. workout. He shows up at 6 a.m. Every single time, say we've worked out 20 times,

10-A.m. work out he shows up at 8 a.m. Like he's just like prepared and I think these guys um I think the ones that make it so it's like 10 years super hard to make it past 10 years to do that you got a sacrifice sometimes your family time you got a sacrifice a lot yeah it's tough you got this new shoot yeah coming out you ain't coming here with no sneakers not so you guys no you guys got so bends show also that's dope by the way yeah Mercedes yeah Mercedes so she's so She, you know that when I was at FDU, I was the youngest Division I one assistant. She was a coach.

You know she coached? That's how I met her. She was coaching and she was coaching against my son. Okay. And that's how we actually met. And then she started coaching my son. Yeah. And she coached a bunch of players.

Actually, two made them to the league. Yeah, yeah. For sure. So she gave me all you guys sizes. So you guys are going to have them next week. Okay. So I have your size, yeah. Nice.

Thanks, Chris. Those are fire. So I want them to be basketball shoes that you could wear. off the court. And I feel like, you know, you can wear them. Did you design them yourself? Design them, everything.

So the leather, it's leather and suede, which is kind of rare for a basketball shoe. Shout to Rihanna. She did like a leather and suede Puma shoe, and I was like, ah, that's dope. Nice.

You guys know what brown street signs mean in New York City? No. So you know most of them are green. So a brown one means like an historical landmark. So I did brown. So the whole thing is like an ode to New York City. Nice.

1948 is when Puma started, like, legacy, and then street signs, but I did the... My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly, and now I'm seriously suspicious. Oh, wait a minute, Sam. Maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit. Well, Dakota, it's back to school week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon. This person writes, my boyfriend has been hanging out with his young professor a lot. He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her. Now, he's insisting we get to know each other, but I just want her gone.

Now, hold up. Isn't that against school policy? That sounds totally inappropriate. Well, according to this person, this is her boyfriend's former professor, and they're the same age. It's even more likely that they're cheating. He insists there's nothing between them. I mean, do you believe him? Well, he's certainly trying to get this person to believe him because he now wants them both to meet.

So, do we find out if this person's boyfriend really cheated with his professor or not? To hear the explosive finale, listen to the OK Storytime podcast on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast.

The holiday rush, parents hauling luggage, kids gripping their new Christmas toys. Then, at 6.33 p.m., everything changed. There's been a bombing at the TWA terminal.

Apparently, the explosion actually impelled metal glass. The injured were being loaded into ambulances, just a chaotic. chaotic scene. In its wake, a new kind of enemy emerged, and it was here to stay. Terrorism. Law and Order Criminal Justice System is back. In season two, we're turning our focus to a threat that hides in plain sight. That's harder to predict and even harder to stop.

Listen to the new season of Law and Order Criminal Justice System on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Jay Shetty, and I'm the host of the on-purpose podcast, and today I'm joined by one of the greatest athletes of all time, Novak Djokovic. The world's number one male tennis player. He's won 14 grand slams in a glittering career. Novak Djokovic! You've been through so many injuries, losses. Oh, he showed himself.

What has Novak Djokovic done? What goes through your mind when you lose? I just want to be left alone. What has it taken to become Novak Djokovic? It's a consistent practice. It's prayer work, mindfulness, meditation, conscious breathing. It requires more responsibility from you on a daily basis to prepare yourself for the biggest battle. When you reach your 30, you start counting your days to your retirement.

I'm 38 this year. How far can I go? How long can I push my own limits? Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the IHeart Radio Al. app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. Street signs, like names in my gym, certain things that mean something to me. So, yeah, I hope they'd do well.

I got the 106 in Columbus Delhi menu, you know, in the soul. This is like little dope things. Like, my photographer took this from my crib. This is like my view. Shout to the next subject. So, you know. And how did you get to, how did you link up with Puma? So, man, when we first started, so no trainers ever signed a sneaker deal.

like a real sneaker deal, like an NBA player sneaker deal. I've never read of a trainer even getting a sneaker at all. It's crazy. You're like a trainer influencer. Yeah, I hate that influence a word, but no, I guess you could say that for sure. But so we, I've seen someone wearing, Rudy Gay was wearing Pullman's. I sent my manager, I'm like, we need to get this done. We end up getting it done.

So then two years into it, I asked him for a sneaker, they're like, no. I remember being on the flight to Alex, like, yo, I got to work harder. Like next year, got a sneaker. first sneaker sold out first day and i'm like damn i didn't even think people second sneaker sold out first day foot locker dick sporting goods all of the world now this is the third one and uh you know i'm hoping it just does good hoping it sounds up man it's dope i heard you say earlier that you like to go back to some of the places that you live when you feel like you're not motivated or you want to celebrate what about what you do yeah get you in a rut where you're not motivated

some time man just uh i feel like i'm giving all my energy right i feel like so say i have seven workouts a day every seven player that comes in all seven players they want the full chris brickley so i feel like seven p.m comes and like my brain is done yeah and sometimes that affects my personal life like i'm not giving my girlfriend the energy she needs or i'm not giving my family i have uh yeah have a big family um or maybe i'm it just and i know you guys know how that how that works but so just any job and then sometimes the players one superstar player might not like it if i'm working another superstar player out so keeping the politics and all that yeah are you surprised by your fame sometimes because i know you came to the car show last week yeah it was like people

were taking pictures with you like crazy like it was like almost surprising to you yeah my boy next so he's seen it all he was when no one knew me he was there so shout at the next he was with me at the car show. So, you know, I'm looking at the BMWs. First stuff, your car show is fire. Thank you so much. Like, I'm going to go back. And I was just trying to, you know, take pitches. And then, you know, one dude's like, yo, could we do an interview. We had some podcasting. Then another dude's like, could we take a pitch? And there was just like, it's like, it's, it's amazing, right, to have that. But just sometimes, like, where I live, it's an issue. I have to promote where my gym is and where I live.

So as people waiting outside that want to propose stuff, and it's just like, I want some privacy. Yeah. Yeah. It started feeling like your car show and not his.

I would direct them right over. Y'all see that DJ over there? Go ahead over there. But it was dope, though. Oh, thank you. That shit was fine. I want to ask, you know, when it comes to these trainers

and they seek you out, do these people pay you? So like, does LeBron cut you a check for training or does these people, you be like, nah, I'll train LeBron for free. Yeah, yeah. No, so they'll all pay. Everyone I train pays, but I let it, I like leave it up to them.

Especially like the superstar players, I know I'm getting something out of it. So I'm like, whatever you think that you deserve to hurt, like, pay me. Now, the young guys, I feel like some guys come to me because they just want an Instagram post. I have like a big platform. And I'm like, nah, I'm not, if you want to work out a week or two weeks, we can do it. But I'm not doing no one workout, one Instagram post. We're not doing that. What's the most you got paid?

You know what I got to say who is from? Just the most you got paid to train with Chris Brickley. Well, I guess I'll give you two answers. Gary V. did it, like, did some, like, charity thing. Someone spent, what was it, $15,000 to train with me? But as far as, like, how much I charge someone. So usually it would be, like, I won't be in a good mood. I'm tired.

Someone asks me to train, and I just give some crazy number thinking I'd say no. Because you don't feel like it anyway. For sure. And they go, oh, we got that. For sure. So I got $2,500, like a 30-minute workout. That was the most for sure. Damn.

Yeah. Which is fine, which is cool. I mean, it's not like, yeah. Now, you did say your, you know, sometimes your girlfriend and your kid doesn't get to see you like that. Who are you outside of your brand and what you do, right? Because you definitely matter as a person. For sure, I'm not, I'm like super introvert. So I watched the first two, my two interviews here, and I'm like, cringe.

I'm like, damn, because that's not me. I get mad at Chai. It's funny, like, I'm like, but when I'm speaking to LeBron or I'm speaking to KD or these, like, or Bieber or Drake in a workout, I'm like, I'm super confident. That's your passion.

Yeah, but then I get become introvert. But no, I'm just a super loving person, care about my people. That's my whole life. Like, when I told my dad he could retire, that I was like, I made it, like in my life. That's how I feel.

So, yeah. So I think I'm a good person that take pride in that. I've learned though as life is living people take advantage of that how's Drake as a basketball player he's gotten a lot better he's done a lot better for sure last time he came he hit like 133s so he was on his page it's funny these rappers come and like to me like doing a show in front of 80,000 people's cool they think a video a workout video on my gym is cool and I'm like yo out of all the things

like uh yes that's it's funny who's the best celebrity baller man So I would say I got a girl in it, guys. So I worked with get her, the singer, for like six months. She gets busy? She's nice. Her gets busy? She's nice. She's nice.

She wanted to do her. She didn't get ready for time? Yeah, she wanted to try and make the WMBA. So basically. Her, the singer. Yeah. So if you guys Google it. Or her successor.

No, this is two years ago for like almost a year straight. If you Google it, there's pictures of it. So we train. The goal was, she's like, I'm going to make a debut. NBA roster and then she had a label switch some personal stuff and she's like I just got to get this album and she's been in that mode but we were training every day she had it she was making 15 threes in a row really wow her NBA threes her how many times you're gonna ask they said yes because i'm gonna play her when i seen her one time on these islands she said she played basketball

now now i'm gonna see if i can post up yeah who's the guy the guy best jakel yeah because i mean he He came to me and he's like, yo, I know I'm 10 years too late, but I'm willing to give you three months. Can you get me to become a pro basketball player? And he played an NBA Africa. And then he played in the kids. So that was dope. He would put his kids to sleep, getting his bike.

Jake, you know, the whole bike. He would ride his bike to my crib. We'd work over two hours where he'd be instructed his jump shot. He made NBA Africa. Have you ever played Chris Brown? So you know Chris Brown, that was my best friend in the world for like four years. Oh, my God, mine too. Yeah, that's my man.

And so to a point where... That was not her best friend, but go ahead. Yes, it was. I'm sorry, go ahead. Please, Chris, go ahead. So to a point, when I was working with the Knicks, every day off we had, I would fly out to L.A. and we'd chill. We'd kick it.

He'd flying for my birthday. That was my man. That's like, I think so, the whole music stuff, I started meeting all these artists through Chris. So I'd come to New York with Chris. He was like, he's already prime Chris, but he was like super prime Chris. And, you know, I got Casanova on tour with him. I got Dave East, his only plaque. I got him a song.

I got so many artists songs through being cool. That's definitely a cool thing. But CB is nice. If he, like, won to be from, like, an 18-year-old, I got a story for you. So I coached a ludicrous weekend. Nine NBA players, one artist. Chris Brown.

He scored 30 points. Wow. This is, like, six years ago. Really? Yeah. How's Dirk? People say Dirk's good. Yeah, Dirk's good, too.

Dirk can shoot. Shout Dirk. You know, everything that's going on. I hope. Yeah, I hope he gets out soon. I spoke to him last night. I was he? He's in good spirits.

Yep, yep. Really? Yeah. He's in good spirits. It was actually like really, really good spirits. And he's like, yo, bro. He's like, when I get out, I'm coming to the gym. We're training.

I'm going league. And he said that. So, yeah, shout out Derek, man. It's one of my good friends. Does he checking with you all the time? Yeah, we're super close. We're super close. And I was super close with Vaughn, too.

Yeah, me and my guy next night before that happened. I remember where I was at my house I'm like sleeping He's FaceTiming me over over he's like come on pull up on me Come pull up on me We pulled up on him got pictures And then the next day that happened That was messed up

Don't forget my shoes Chris That's right Are you really gonna rock him though Hell yeah I'm really right So what I did, because I'm like, damn, I don't know if kids would like them. So I added, they better have these in here. Here we go. So for like, if you're a kid and you want to be loud, add these laces.

That's dope. So it does a little accent here. So yeah. So if you want to be loud, you could do that. Would you rock these off the court? I'm not going to rock them. I got to put them on my wall up here. You see we got fat John's Vickers.
