Full Bio

David has developed the formula to sustaining greatness in an ever-changing world.

He 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 and business leaders of the future” because of his ability to teach them how to tap into a true growth mindset that inspires positive change. As a former professional basketball player, David’s ability to get into the zone and master his mindset led him to two Guinness World Records for shooting–a huge accomplishment on its own. In 2016, the Brooklyn Nets hired him as a coach to help players improve their shooting–they went from being 28th in the league to 2nd overall in 3-point shooting. In total, David has worked with over 150 NBA players whose contract earnings amount to 3.2 billion.

David Nurse 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. In fact, he was recently named as one of the top 50 key-note speakers in the world by Real Leaders.

CEOs, executives, and professional athletes hire David for his award-winning strategies and infectious positivity. His two bestselling books, Pivot & Go and #1 Amazon Best Seller on the Day of Release Breakthrough, have helped thousands of leaders develop confidence and find success; and its teachings are also at the very core of his coaching business, online workshops, and corporate speaking.

Today, He resides in Marina del Rey with his incredibly talented wife, actress Taylor Kalupa. When he’s not traveling the world inspiring thousands to have breakthrough moments, he loves going on long walks on the beach with his wife (and puppy who wears pajamas and is pushed around in a stroller)
