  • Run It Back: You vs. You with NFL Hall of Famer Ronde Barber
    Aug 6 2025

    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. Known for his unparalleled career in the NFL, Barber shared the mindset that made him "uncommon," achieving feats no other defensive back in history has matched.

    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.

    "Run It Back" episodes highlight one specific principle shared by a previous guest, and offer you a strategy on how to shift your mindset to live out that principle in your life.
