469: Do Their Eyes Light Up When They See You Coming?

Best Year Ever: www.JeffHeggie.com/BestYearEver

I've talked a lot about the concept of Proximity Is Power, and the importance of who you surround yourself with. 

In this podcast episode I dig a little deeper. Not only do you need to surround yourself with big thinkers who are going to help you grow, but you need those people to be the ones who light up when they see you.

467: Takes More Than Heart with Dennis Mellen

https://jeffheggie.com/2021/12/29/dennis-mellen-takes-more-than-heart/

Dennis Mellen, a USAF Academy graduate (1975), is a retired Air Force pilot after serving as a lieutenant colonel and chief pilot for 20 years until his retirement from the Air Force Reserves in 1996. At the time, he simultaneously worked as an instructor pilot and fleet captain at Alaska Airlines where he was the head of training over 550 pilots and 40 instructors. He was also part of the instructor cadre instrumental in establishing the Alaska Airlines route structure in eastern Russia from the destinations: Vladivostok, Khabarovsk, Magadan, and Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy. And as a veteran, he participated in the Desert One preparation, he was deployed to Sudan (in 1986) to counter Libyan incursions in Chad, and participated in Desert Shield/Storm. After retiring in 2012 from his 28-year flying career due to a heart attack, Dennis continued searching for a new purpose and new opportunities. He worked in aviation management at two air carriers heading up their training and standardization departments. He also worked as a training consultant and

certified International Air Transport Association Operation Safety auditor before becoming a high school baseball coach, speaker, and author. His goal with his first book is to provide motivation, education, and humor to inspire those who face serious challenges in their lives. Dennis and his wife, Heidi of 37 years, live in the Chicago suburbs, and they have four sons and just welcomed their first grandchild as of August 2020—they look forward to helping raise their granddaughter, as well as welcoming more grandchildren.

Takes More Than Heart: Changing the Journey’s Challenges into Opportunities

In life, you will encounter many obstacles, if you have not already. How you deal with these challenges will define your character. All about a driven heart and pure grit, Takes More Than Heart: Change the Journey’s Challenges into Opportunities is for anyone—from athletes to business people— who has suffered a life-changing event and desires to transform their challenges into opportunities. It instructs how to live your life fully while understanding that events may come at you, but you influence the outcomes through your reactions—as in “fall down seven times, get up eight.”

The key themes include:

• What’s Important Next (W.I.N.).

• The Navy SEAL acronym: D.W.I., as in Deal With It.

• Take care of the next two hundred feet on the journey to reaching your goal.

Part self-help book, part memoir, this book will touch anyone who has experienced a business setback, career/life-changing event, such as an athlete with a season-ending or career-ending injury, and inspire them to recover from their challenging event. This book will inspire readers to sustain their grit and persevere in order to make a difference and lead a purposeful life.

465: Fight, Flight, or Freeze

Article: How Tyler Matzek Conquered the Yips to Become a World Series Champion

https://www.theringer.com/year-in-review/2021/12/30/22855842/tyler-matzek-atlanta-braves-world-series-champion-yips-journey

There’s a mental cycle with fear.

Fear layers on top of fear.

You have 3 options to react to fear: Fight, Flight, or Freeze

Former Navy SEAL, Jason Kuhn, taught:

- Find a higher level of performance by focusing less on himself

- Harness his fear, face the fight-flight-freeze questions and make himself fight, every single hitter, every single pitch

463: Today Is An Opportunity To Get Better. Don't Waste It!

www.JeffHeggie.com/BestYearEver

Last night in The Confident Athlete Program group coaching call, one of the things I talked about was the importance of going into everything with a plan.   

Some athletes are great at putting their game plan together, but they don't plan and prepare for practice.   

If you want to be elite, you have to be getting better every single practice... every single day...   

You can't just have a plan for game day!  

I heard Dion Sanders once say, "I wanted to be the best. So every time I stepped onto the field, I had a purpose."  

>>> The Confident Athlete Program: www.JeffHeggie.com/ConfidentAthlete   

It doesn't matter if we are talking sports, business, life, or anything else...  

You've got to step onto the field every single day with a purpose.  

You have to have a plan to get better every single day.  

It's more than working hard at something. Everyone is doing that.  

It's working on the hard things. The things that others don't want to work on.   

Are you willing to work on the hard things? 

The things that don't come easy?  

How are you going to separate yourself?

462: Hope Is Always Up!

www.JeffHeggie.com/BestYearEver

You've heard people talk about your dreams and tell you not to get your hope up.

Today I heard a great story from a friend and he said, "Hope Is Always Up!"

Go make 2022 your best year ever!

Going into the new year, remember:

Be kind. Everyone is going through a struggle that you know nothing about.

461: 2021 Happened… Win or Lose, It’s Over… Are You Ready For What’s Next?

https://jeffheggie.com/2021/12/31/2021-happened-win-or-lose-its-over-are-you-ready-for-whats-next/

2022 Your Best Year Ever: High Achievers Coaching – https://jeffheggie.com/BestYearEver

2021… It happened…

Did you win? Lose? Whatever… It’s over

You need to be ready for what’s next.

What did 2021 teach you?

What momentum can you build off of?

What lessons did you learn from failures?

Myron Golden said:

“Stop looking for all the hard ways to make a little bit of money,

Start looking at all the easy ways to make a lot of money.”

Who Packs Your Parachute?

Charles Plum was a US Navy jet pilot in Vietnam. After 75 combat missions, his plane was destroyed by a surface-to-air missile. Plumb ejected and parachuted into enemy hands. He was captured and spent 6 years in a communist Vietnamese prison. He survived and was eventually released to return home to the US.

One day, when Plumb and his wife were sitting in a restaurant, a man walking past his table said, “You’re Plumb! You flew jet fighters in Vietnam from the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk. You were shot down!”

“How in the world did you know that?” asked Plumb.

“I packed your parachute,” the man replied.

Plumb gasped in surprise and gratitude. The man pumped his hand and said, “I guess it worked!” Plumb assured him, “It sure did. If your chute hadn’t worked, I wouldn’t be here today.”

Plumb couldn’t sleep that night, thinking about the man. Plumb says, “I kept wondering what he might have looked like in a Navy uniform. I wonder how many times I might have seen him and not even said, “Good morning, how are you? Or anything, because, you see, I was a fighter pilot, and he was just a sailor.”

Who’s packing your parachute?

Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it through the day.

Sometimes in the daily challenges of life, we miss what, or who, is really important.

Reflect on 2021… Who packed your parachute?
