David Nurse

David Nurse has been transforming the way hundreds of NBA stars play on the court for most of his career. In fact, his method was dubbed as training “athletes of the future” because of his ability to teach them how to tap into different mindsets and become unstoppable. He has written two bestselling books, runs a successful motivational coaching business and is a highly-sought-after speaker—hired by companies like Dell, Salesforce, ESPN and The NBA—to help thousands of employees and athletes develop unshakeable mindsets.

As a former professional basketball player, David’s ability to get into the zone and master his own mindset led him to two Guinness World Records for shooting—a huge accomplishment on its own. He recognized early on there is more to personal growth than just mechanics and repetition, and others in the industry quickly recognized this talent. In 2016, the Brooklyn Nets hired David as a coach to help players improve their shooting; they went from being 28th in the league in 3pt shooting to 2nd overall. David has worked with over 150 NBA players on and off court, totaling 3.2 Billion in NBA contract earnings.

The industry and media took notice, and David’s career exploded. National media highlighted him and CEOs and professional athletes hired him for his award-winning strategies and infectious positivity. Most recently, David was named one of Real Leaders’ Top 50 Keynote Speakers in the World in 2022. His two books, Pivot & Go and Breakthrough, have helped thousands develop confidence and find success; and its teachings are also at the very core of his virtual coaching business, online workshops and corporate speaking. He resides in Marina del Rey with his incredibly talented wife, actress Taylor Kalupa, and loves long walks on the beach with his wife (literally) when he’s not traveling the world or leading people to have daily breakthrough moments.

As one star NBA player put it: “David is the guy that everyone needs to hire.”
