Underdog athlete/coach/artist CJ Beatty and I met during our time with the St. Louis Cardinals where he was a coach as a former player and I was serving as rehab and medical coordinator. CJ is now a hip hop artist that is taking off!

He shares his wisdom as an underdog that continues to overcome the odds stacked against him.

It has been a long time coming for who I deem "The Smartest Man in Baseball", to come onto this podcast. Paul Davis is the Atlanta Brave's Director of Pitching, former Major League Pitching coach for the Seattle Mariner's, and my former colleague when we worked for the St. Louis Cardinals together where Paul served alongside me with the rehab group as the "Rehab Pitching Coach" while I served as the St. Louis Cardinals Medical & Rehab Coordinator from 2015 through the end of the 2017 season. Most of all Paul is a dear friend and mentor of mine.

Building upon the last episode where I first mention Psychological Capital (PsyCap), Paul and I discuss how he has integrated psychology into his work as a pitching coach to get the most performance out of those he serves and how this can also help all of us in our own life's version of High Stakes performance needs.

Paul Davis was interviewed for part of the book The Arm  which we discuss in this episode.

In this episode I explore what the ingredients are for people to overcome self doubt and build a sense of a belief in oneself utilizing "psycap" (positive psychological capital). I bring you into how I became an underdog with clips from my childhood ice hockey days along with a conversation with my colleague, peer, and friend Bryant Villota as we play some basketball together.

Hey fellow Beyond Zero'er In this episode Dr.Isaac Zur and I discuss how leveraging a seemingly negative emotion "ANGER" might just be the key to unleashing your performance in certain situations...This is the area of Dr.Zur's thesis and research work on "A psycholphysiological examination of the emotions-performance relationship." that can be found here.

Hey fellow Beyond Zero'er In this episode we unravel perfectionism, where it comes from, its relationship to ADHD, and if it helps or hurts us. Special guest for this episode, Dr.Liz Slonena joins who is a psychotherapist and specializes on the topic of perfectionism and works with adult professionals that have ADHD. You will be surprised with some of the twists and turns of this episode as I become a pseudo patient for Dr.Liz and take the proverbial shrink's chair.

Dr.Liz also schools me on "neurodivergence" and the importance of this topic in the "neurotypical" society today that we might be living in...

One of the important research papers that I mention in this episode can be found here that is titled Positive Conceptions of Perfectionism: Approaches, Evidence, Challenges.
