    Whether you’re an athlete, coach, student, or professional, this episode will challenge you to rethink how you measure success. It’s not about overnight achievements—it’s about the hours, days, and years of effort that build greatness.

  • Season 13, Episode 7: Surrender the Outcome
    In this episode we discuss we explore the powerful concept of "Surrender the Outcome." Many athletes, coaches, and competitors focus so much on results that they lose sight of the journey. But true success comes from preparation, effort, and trusting the process—without being consumed by the end result.
    We discuss how embracing this mindset can free athletes from unnecessary pressure, allowing them to perform at their best. Through stories of perseverance, faith, and resilience, we highlight how letting go of control over outcomes can lead to breakthroughs on and off the field.
    Join us as we unpack what it means to fully commit, give your best effort, and trust that whatever happens is part of a greater plan. Whether you're an athlete, coach, or fan, this episode is packed with insights that can help you shift your perspective and find peace in the process.

  • Season 13, Episode 2: EGOs, Insecurities, and Self-Esteem
    We told you we were back!
    We dive into a topic that we have never really discussed on the CCP. Egos, Insecurities, Self-Esteem and Self Worth. What makes them appear?
    Your self-esteem is an assessment of your self-worth; how much or little are you of value to yourself and to others? Your ‘self’ concept is founded on a high self esteem; what are your self-beliefs (I am confident, I am honest, I am loyal) and do they help you actualize who you want to be in other words, your ideal ‘self’?
    The ego is the opposite of self-esteem. The problem with the ego is it can often ‘disguise’ itself as your self-esteem and it is important to become aware of this behavior when it arises. Your ego has a number of different definitions, but its most commonly agreed definition is it is your self-defense mechanism and more importantly, your false concept.
    You might realize that insecurity and self-importance are really just two sides of the same coin of self-absorption.
