How Sports Shape Character: On and Off the Court | Courtside Sessions S3 E7 - Corbin Gapski

This episode is a deep dive into the kind of growth that doesn’t always show up on the scoreboard. Corbin Gapski, a key member of the Diadem team, joins us to talk about the in-between moments—the stretch of time when you’re building, learning, and showing up every day, even when the results aren’t immediate. He shares what it’s like to feel the pressure of expectations, the doubts that creep in when you’re not “there” yet, and the mindset shifts that have helped him stay focused on long-term purpose over short-term wins.

It’s an honest conversation about trusting the process, embracing discomfort, and redefining what progress actually looks like. Whether you're chasing goals in your sport, your work, or just trying to find your rhythm in life, Corbin’s story is a reminder that growth isn’t always obvious—but that doesn’t mean it’s not happening.
