035: 5 Drivers of Performance with Dana Cavalea


Listen Later

When Dana Cavalea's dream of becoming a pro athlete was shattered, he decided that there had to be some blessing and opportunity in his disappointment.

At age 19, he accepted a job cleaning up towels and being a water boy with the Yankees.

Dana never looked at this as beneath him. In fact, he looked at it as an opportunity to serve and add value to some of the best athletes in the world. He decided that he would add value, listen and learn.

While listening and truly living with a mentality of serving, Dana found an opportunity to add even MORE value… He started running the athletes through some core workouts :)

His humble attitude, constant wanting to add value and his high levels of intuition propelled him into a coaching position.

Dana didn't become just "any coach" He became a CHAMPION coach

Dana spent 12 years with the New York Yankees Organization and even winning a World Series in 2009. Throughout his career, Dana has had the opportunity to train and coach the greats that include Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, and many others.

In addition to working with high level Athletes, Coaches, CEO's and Executives, he is an International Speaker/ Consultant helping corporate workforces, Sports Teams, Universities, and Organizations to optimize their overall performance through his 5-Drivers of Performance (mindset, training, fueling, recovery, influence) framework.

In this episode, you will learn:

  • The 5 drivers of performance
  • Why mindset is the beginning of everything
  • Why setbacks are the greatest opportunity to leap forward
