Coming Up Clutch with J.R. Helping Pro and Executive Athletes maximize their success and significance

High-achievers execute. That's what we do.

But are we consistently executing at the level of excellence that we're capable of?

Emphasis on the word CONSISTENTLY.

If you're honest with yourself, that answer is no.

But there's a step BEFORE the execution that we must take in order to consistently execute with excellence.

That's what I unpack in today's 5 Minute Drill.

If you want to execute with excellence more often, then make sure to lock in to today's Drill.

LET'S GET IT!

[00:01 - 7:16] Opening Segment

• J.R. gives some context around awareness and execution and shares the first ingredient of his Clutch Recipe™

[7:17 - 14:27] What's The Drill?

STEP 1: Create awareness around your mind, soul/heart, and body by using the SCAN principle of J.R.'s Clutch Recipe™. Before you enter into your next thing (e.g. meeting, play, conversation, etc.), SCAN from top to bottom:

• Your mind - what am I thinking right now?

• Your heart - what am I feeling right now?

• Your body - how is my body responding right now?

STEP 2: with that awareness and data, RESPOND from bottom to top:

• Your body - what's the ONE thing my body needs right now?

• Your heart - what is the primary feeling I'm after in this next thing I'm about to do?

• Your mind - what is the primary thought I want to bring into this next thing?

[14:28 - 17:00] Wrapping Up!

• Final words

How many times have you heard, "The truth hurts"?

It does hurt…

But it also helps.

Case in point: San Diego Padres catcher, Austin Nola.

Austin was dealt the hard truth not too long ago, but instead of balling up in a corner, he decided to ball out…in a completely different position.

On today's episode of the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show, I sit down with Austin and unpack one of the greatest stories of perseverance in sports.

Austin was seeing the writing on the wall with his professional baseball career, but he decided to pick up the eraser and make a major shift. Next thing you know, he was coming up clutch in the 2022 MLB Playoffs.

In this latest episode, Austin and I talk about what he…

• Credits for being able to come up clutch in the 2022 MLB Playoffs

• Did after getting feedback that he wasn't good enough to live out his dream to be a MLB Shortstop

• Does to perfect his craft as a husband, father, and athlete while constantly being on the road

…and so much more.

If you want to learn from one the best when it comes to overcoming failure and adversity, then lock in to today's episode.

[00:01 - 07:55] Introducing Austin to the show

• Austin's most embarrassing moment

• Austin's background, story, and professional journey

[07:56 - 17:16] What Austin credits for being able to come up clutch in the 2022 MLB Playoffs

• Context: 2022 Playoffs, he's up with the bases loaded

• Austin's mindset: "I'm gonna get a hit right here"

• Austin saw the situation, recognized it, and knew that he prepared for it every single day. When he got to the situation, he just stuck with his plan

• When Austin got to two strikes, he reminded himself that he's been there before, he knew he prepared for it, and believed he could get that hit

• He practiced being down in the count with two strikes and forced himself to like being in this tough situation

• Practice for clutch moments, so when you get in them, you're not surprised.

• Austin was able to believe in himself in that moment because of how much he prepared being in that moment

[17:17 - 34:48] What Austin's mindset was after getting feedback that he wasn't good enough to live out his dream to be a MLB Shortstop

• He told himself there might be another way to get what I want (i.e. catching)

• Key mindset he adopted: if I just learn something every day that I have no clue about, that's going to take me much farther than achieving a certain outcome (i.e. play in the Big Leagues)

• Austin wasn't quitting. He was just shifting course.

• Take the EMOTION out of it and come to understand the FACTS

• Seek out someone you trust to give you the honest TRUTH

• The key behind Austin's mindset to "learning something every day": CLARITY of self. Austin wanted to become something greater than a baseball player (he had a long-term perspective)

• Where this came from: faith, reading a lot, and being around great people

• Make simple decisions daily - that will help you have more joy on your journey

[34:49 - 47:17] What Austin does to perfect his craft as a husband, father, and athlete while constantly being on the road

• Be present - put the Lord first

• Helpful skill that Austin learned to stay present: stop the flow of what you want to say / do and then listen and repeat back what they said and sit with it

• Clarifying my values DAILY - I start there and let the rest just happen

• Reading the Bible

• Pray

• Keep things simple: complication is the devil.

[47:18 - 53:37] Wrapping Up

• Austin's BIG domino

• How to connect with Austin

Feeling stuck is not an acceleration issue. It's an alignment issue.

This quote is loaded.

But it's the truth. A HARD truth I had to swallow once I woke up to it.

So many times we think things aren't moving fast enough in our careers and lives, but in reality, our pace is our pace because we're thinking, believing, and making decisions that are misaligned with our identity, values, and purpose.

I'm telling you from firsthand experience - this is a hard truth to swallow, but as soon as you accept this paradigm shift, WATCH OUT!

It's a jolt of clarity, energy, and HOPE.

In today's 5 Minute Drill, we're going to make a perspective shift. I've said it over and over again - there's a reason the windshield of a car is bigger than the rearview mirror. I unpack that even further in today's episode.

If you want to make the most of your time and be in alignment with your desired future, then make sure to lock in to today's Drill.

LET'S GET IT!

[00:01 - 09:59] Opening Segment

• J.R. gives some context and shares a story about recovery and the science behind it

[10:00 - 12:12] What's The Drill?

Schedule some introspective time to answer this question:

Based on who you are today and who you're becoming in the future, what's possible for your __________ (e.g. family, business, career, etc.), with the time you have left?

Sometimes the best answer for adversity is ACTION.

And many times that action means moving forward despite the uncertainty.

The alternative sucks.

You know, just sitting there replaying all the possible scenarios…

Focusing so much on your past problems instead of your future possibilities…

It's a death grip.

In today's episode of Coming Up Clutch™️, I summarize the Top 3 nuggets from Monday's interview with financial expert and founder of the Lion's Eye Mastermind, Joe Blackburn.

Joe unpacked the wisdom behind his clients overcoming their adversities and growing their businesses 3-7x.

Lock in to get the summary of my interview with Joe.

[00:01 - 7:38] Joe's BIG Three

• #1: Big lesson that came out of Joe's family navigating Joe's wife's battle with breast cancer

• #2: What helped Joe lead a team of over 200 financial advisors that earned $117 million in revenue and managed over $17 billion in assets

For years, I bought into the saying, "If you're not growing, you're dying."

Don't get me wrong - I still believe it.

But you can be growing personally or professionally and still be complacent.

What?

Yes.

Trust me, this was me for YEARS. I thought I was making progress and growing, only to find out I was thinking too small.

The bar I set for myself was too low…

So, of course, every book I finished or meditation I completed felt like I won the dang Super Bowl. But in reality, I wasn't even scratching the surface of the dream God had for me or the progress he prepared for me to make.

On today's episode of the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show, I sit down with financial expert and founder of the Lion's Eye Mastermind, Joe Blackburn.

Joe has made a career helping the world's most successful people 3-7x their growth…in many cases, helping them go beyond anything they originally thought they could do.

In this latest episode, Joe and I talk about…

• The big lesson that came out of Joe's family navigating Joe's wife's battle with breast cancer

• What helped Joe lead a team of over 200 financial advisors that earned $117 million in revenue and managed over $17 billion in assets.

• How to bridge the gap from standard growth to expansive success

…and so much more.

If you want to grow and experience success at the pace and level that you're capable of, then lock in to today's episode.

[00:01 - 08:20] Introducing Joe to the show

• Joe's most embarrassing moment

• Joe's background, story, and professional journey

[08:21 - 17:46] Big lesson that came out of Joe's family navigating Joe's wife's battle with breast cancer

• There's so much unknown in the world and so much out of our control, so FAITH must be front and center

• Regarding leading his family, the mentality became, "I can't be the victim when it's not happening to me."

• The law of necessity kicked in - I couldn't fold in the middle of this adversity. My family needed me.

• Adversity isn't easy, but it's worse to sit around and worry about it.

[17:47 - 30:20] What helped Joe lead a team of over 200 financial advisors that earned $117 million in revenue and managed over $17 billion in assets.

• Self-confidence

• People don't allow themselves to feel differently and struggle

• Origin of Joe's self confidence: at a young age, he would do little things that would pull him out of a comfort zone (e.g. pay a bill, open the door for a stranger, etc.)

• If you want self-confidence, you have to have an awareness of other people, but not worry about what they think

• Just DO something that's a little out of the norm, then keep doing it

[30:21 - 44:12] How to bridge the gap from standard growth to expansive success

• Have to know where you want to go, where you're at today, and map out what it's going to take to bridge the gap (i.e. have a vision)

• Big keys: delegate and develop (i.e. who are you developing to do things that you shouldn't?)

• RE: building wealth, there's a basic hygiene to it (e.g. saving in 401k, have an emergency fund, etc. - these are equivalent to taking a shower everyday)

• We have to think about the possibilities of more success before we act

• Big thing that gets in the way of success: distractions and lack of focus (everything sounds good)

• Joe's advice: build your "gusher" first (i.e. get laser focused on the ONE thing that brings you passion)

• Decide what to do with your excess capital

[44:13 - 51:16] What you can't miss when it comes to experiencing more wealth and less stress in today's uncertain world

• Get great at your craft / maximize what you're great at first

• Find a way to get excess capital doing things that compliment your craft, then make good decisions with it (i.e. decisions that allow you to live the life you want to live)

"But, J.R., I just have to get through this project, then I could…"

"I just need to finish this quarter, then I could…"

"I just need to get the starting spot, then I could…"

"…Sleep a little more…"

"…Take more breaks…"

"...Go on vacation."

I've heard it all.

For some reason, we get how recovery works as athletes, but we forgot how it works as humans.

Bottom line, there's no such thing as peak performance without recovery.

In today's 5 Minute Drill, we're going to get real about recovery. I'm going to show you how to make it the main course, not the leftovers…

If you want to be the person showing up with clarity, energy, and courage more often, then make sure to lock in to today's Drill.

LET'S GET IT!

[00:01 - 20:50] Opening Segment

• J.R. gives some context and shares a story about recovery and the science behind it

[20:51 - 25:55] What's The Drill?

Pick ONE of the six non-negotiables, audit it in your life, then commit to focus on it for the next week. If you pick…

• #1 (Protect your schedule). Look at your weekly schedule, where are you leaving it to chance? Where are there doors open to distraction and other people preventing you from recovering the way you need to? Identify the opportunity, then determine how you're going to manage your schedule better.

• #2 (Sleep hygiene). What practice can you do to up your sleep hygiene. Is it making your room darker at night? Is it turning down the temperature? Science tells us the ideal sleeping temperature is around 67 degrees. Or do you need to set a nighttime alarm?...meaning that when that alarm goes off, the electronics go off, work stops, and you're starting to prepare for bed.

• #3 (Active Recovery) . Are there opportunities to do things like an epsom salt baths, infrared saunas, massages, restorative yoga, breathwork, mindfulness, meditation?

• #4 (Hydration/Nutrition). Do you need to ramp up your water intake? Typically on a base level, we need a ounce of water for every pound of body weight. Do you need to decrease your sugar intake or how your vegetables?

• #5 (Yoga/Stretching/Tai Chi). Is there an opportunity to stretch more throughout the day? Or schedule yoga sessions to increase your flexibility?

• #6 (Managing your emotions). Are there certain instances where you're more impulsive…get more emotional? Maybe your commitment includes taking a 15 second pause to breathe when these things come up. Or going on a quick walk, or praying.

As an athlete, it was always a wake up call when you faced a superior opponent. If you were good enough, you'd hang. If you weren't, you'd get exposed.

But when I got exposed, it showed me everything I needed to know to get better for the next tough opponent.

That was the point - play tough competition, put yourself out there…so you can see what you got, ESPECIALLY when the stakes were high.

How often are you putting your skills to the test?

I wish someone asked me that early on in my professional career…when I had to trade in the spikes for the suit. It was too easy to play it safe.

What I didn't realize is in regards to my skills, SAFE means STAGNANT.

In today's episode of Coming Up Clutch™️, I summarize the Top 3 nuggets from Monday's interview with former 10-year MLB veteran, entrepreneur, and radio personality, David Aardsma.

David got very real about the ups and downs on-and-off the field and what changes he needed to make after his skills and roles were exposed.

Lock in to get the summary of my interview with David.

[00:01 - 10:38] David's BIG Three

On a scale from 1 to 10, how straight are your priorities?

1 = priorities, J.R.? What priorities?

10 = Straight as a laser

It's a real question - real convicting, that is.

When you're leading and pushing and striving to be your best, the whole kitchen sink of distractions are coming at you…ALL-THE-TIME.

Then next thing you know what you said was important is not so important anymore, right?

Nah…it's still important. You just let the non-important things overtake it, whatever that "it" is.

On today's episode of the Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™ show, I sit down with former 10-year MLB veteran, entrepreneur, and radio personality, David Aardsma.

David and I get real about priorities and then some. In this latest episode, we talk about…

• David's ultimate clutch moment and what his mentality was pitching against the best players in Major League Baseball

• The key lessons David learned after experiencing both great success and failure at the highest level of baseball

• What David did when he realized he didn't have his priorities straight between his family and career

…and so much more.

If you want a better chance to thrive in all aspects of your life and career, then lock in to today's episode.

[00:01 - 11:53] Introducing David to the show

• David's most embarrassing moment

• David's background, story, and professional journey

[11:54 - 21:48] David's ultimate clutch moment and what his mentality was pitching against the best players in Major League Baseball

• Key mentality: "How will I know what I have if I don't face the best?"

• Went out there with a purpose to find out who he was

• Why it was so hard for Dave to transition from an active player to retired player: he was working so hard to be who I wanted to be that I lost sight of who I was

[21:49 - 29:00] The key lessons David learned after experiencing both great success and failure at the highest level of baseball

• Most difficult part of the journey: Success

• David struggled the most when he forgot what got him the success (for him, a big part of it was mindset)

• He wished he would've kept the same mindset when he was having success

• He said he was sabotaging his own success to get back to playing at the highest level after several failures

• Biggest regret: I probably worked too hard - didn't let his body and mind recover

• It's a delicate balance between the grind and when you must shut off

[29:01 - 40:55] What David did when he realized he didn't have his priorities straight between his family and career

• Context: talk with GM Ben Cherrington (told David he needed to learn how to say NO) and his wife constantly getting on him (made David realize his marriage was falling apart)

• Started saying NO more often

• Took responsibility

• Starting asking the questions, "Who am I?" What can I do to self-improve?

• You have choices: solve the problem, walk away from it, or just keep going along with it

• David's key question: what matters to you? And what are you actually doing about it? What are YOU doing to fix this?

• Found an ally

• It really clicked for David when his therapist and life coach said all of his marital problems were a result of HIS mindset issue.

[40:56 - 45:52] David's advice for parents with kids in amateur sports

• When your child is showing interest in a sport, support them, but don't PUSH them. Show them a path, but make them aware of that path looks like and what type of dedication it will take

• Make them aware and have THEM make a decision - the key is, show them there are choices

What side of the teeter-totter are your decisions sitting on?

Are they being made from a position of abundance and conviction?

Or are they being made from a position of scarcity and suspicion?

For years, I made decisions from a position of scarcity and suspicion…

Looking back on that season of my life and career, it only delayed my success.

In today's 5 Minute Drill, I'm going to show you how to more consistently make decisions that will FUEL your success, not delay it.

If you want to be better positioned to make clutch decisions in every area of your life, then make sure to lock in to today's Drill.

LET'S GET IT!

[00:01 - 10:55] Opening Segment

• J.R. shares a story about the hesitations he had about himself and the decisions he had around his business

[10:56 - 09:38] What's The Drill?

STEP 1: identify a decision you need to make. J.R. encourages you to find a decision that feels important to you in this season - perhaps something about your career, family, health.

STEP 2: Ask yourself, if you were to make this decision from a position of abundance (the limits are off…you lack nothing) and conviction (you're going to honor your firm beliefs), what decision would you make?

BONUS step: In those decision-making moments or seasons where you don't need to make a decision in a matter of minutes, find a way to leverage your body before you go on to STEP 2. Remember, your mind affects your body and your body affects your mind. You have a key decision-making ally in your body. When it's primed and your nervous system is regulated, you're in a better position to make great decisions.
