In Episode #039 of the 1% Bttr Podcast, pro basketball player Justin Jaworski shares the story of betting on himself when the world said no. From turning down 20 Division I football offers to chasing a single late basketball scholarship, Justin’s path has been defined by relentless work, discipline, and a chip on his shoulder that still fuels him today.
We dive into the mindset behind his rise, how being overlooked shaped his hunger, why “the way you do anything is the way you do everything,” and the mental tools he has developed with a sports psychologist to stay sharp under pressure. Justin also opens up about overcoming an ACL tear, the grind of the G League, and what it takes to climb the European pro ranks while chasing his ultimate NBA dream.
This episode is not just about basketball. It is about resilience, preparation, and proving people wrong through sheer commitment. If you are chasing big goals in sports, business, or life, Justin’s journey will remind you that outworking everyone is always the best bet.
