We all know meditation can help us to relax and reduce stress by cutting out the continual white noise of our chattering mind. When I started meditating, my goal was to have at least a few minutes of peace each day from the repetitive loop of thoughts that always seemed to keep me in a perpetually hurried and worried state of being. While I certainly achieved a few moments of mental solitude, in time, these few moments of peace had a tremendous transformative effect on my life in ways I never would have imagined.

Yes, meditation can help you relax. But it will do SO much more than that!

How many times have you made poor food choices, stayed in negative, draining relationships or wasted away hours of time on meaningless activities simply because you were operating on autopilot? Meditation helps you to cultivate awareness of your own patterns and behaviors.

As you begin to pay attention to yourself and your life, you start to notice the small choices you make each day –and how those choices add up to the sum total of who you are and what you do in life. When you can take a step back and get a bird’s eye view, you're able to use this state of awareness to pause and change tack, and these small moment by moment changes can eventually transform your whole life. If mindfulness is about paying attention, what’s the big deal?

Having been a professional athlete and having had friends who were professional athletes and now consulting professional athletes, I definitely have a lot to offer in terms of unique insights.

One of the biggest challenges athletes face is the invention of the internet and the amount of information that is available to athletes about themselves. Often while speaking to an athlete about their performance, they mention they will be tweeting or receiving messages on their performance in the game that occurred just a few minutes before. Clearly radio, TV and newspapers have been around for decades and have created messaging for athletes about their play, but now there is an excess of information athletes have to adjust to, which sends them messages about who they are and how the public is perceiving them. It is one thing to get booed in a game if you play poorly, but it is another thing to be booed electronically everywhere you go on social media. This requires a new level of being able to metabolize criticism and places added stress on athletes.

Another obstacle for athletes is the ease of exposure via technology. Every year, the overall talent in professional athletics is getting better. In the past, there was a small group of players who were scouted and competed, but because of advancements in technology and accessibility, every good or even decent player is identified, and everyone has an idea of who these athletes are, even in international recruiting. Now you have just about anyone showcasing, filming and posting their skillset or results on every social platform imaginable!

Sport and performance mindset coaching and sports psychology is really important because as you get to the highest level of any sport, so much of what happens is based on confidence and mental ability. Talent equalizes at the top, and the players who are able to mentally adjust and handle adversity are the ones who are the most successful.

Never let the fear of striking out get in your way. –Babe Ruth

The first thing athletes should know about sport psychology is actually what they should know about themselves. They should identify for themselves what they fear about facing the deficit in their game. Nobody wants to see their dirty laundry – areas of performance that need to be improved, but what sport and performance psychology is about is looking for strategies to be honest about what we can improve. Everybody, no matter if you’re a baseball player, trading on the stock market or a fire fighter, can improve.

No matter how good you are at what you do, you can always improve. The goal is always to keep getting better and to overcome the fear something new. For many years, athletes and people in general, have feared the idea of coaching, performance coaching, or psychology because they have felt like it would expose them as weak or expose them as someone not able to do it on your own......

Welcome to Episode 26 ,What Is The Secret Formula Of A Successful Champion?

There are very specific things that distinguish great athletes—champions—from others. Most of the sports world thinks it’s their talent, but I will argue that it’s their mindset.

Is there such a thing as a 'natural" - is this a myth? What is the mental makeup of a 10-time NCAA Champion like John Wooden?

One thing rings true, champions, also known as successful individuals (CEO's, Executives, Teachers, Coaches), continually improve and produce consistent results share a lot in common with high-performance athletes due to a particular mindset. Both must consistently outperform their competition and produce winning results. Creativity, discipline and productivity must merge into a force that’s greater than the sum of its parts.

What will happen in your life if you decide to make a habit of winning?

Are you looking for unique ways to "get into the game"? To enhance your training and find more focus or have more energy? You aren’t alone.

Welcome to Episode 23 –Maximizing Recovery and Output - the A’B’C’s of-of vitamins and Minerals

Your health is true wealth! It baffles me when I see a retired professional athlete and they look like they have aged 10 years after a couple years out of retirement. I also know a lot of millionaires that just want more energy and vitality. Certainly, you can’t buy happiness or joy but you know what? You CAN buy health - knowledge, accountability and its food sources! In the end, if you don’t want to take the effort to learn more about the details, invest in your health and hire an expert such as myself that will hold you accountable.

Want to supercharge your effort to eat healthier? As an American society, we are overfed but undernourished. Do you claim to already be a healthy eater? Great! But you still want to reap the benefits from upgrading your knowledge in the 'real' nutrition department. Namely, because of poor soil conditions, environmental factors, and stressful lifestyles, our bodies now need additional nutrients that food alone can no longer provide.

When your body doesn't get the nutrients it needs, your immune system becomes weak and your risk of illness goes up. Because proper food is the body's fuel, proper nutrition leads to better performance. As an athlete, it is paramount to provide your body with the right nutrients, and you'll be rewarded with higher energy, vitality, more muscle and faster recovery.

Episode 22: BOUNDARIES and PROVEN Strategies that Keep An Athlete Grounded and Sane During Their Career

I want to stress how crucial it is that every athlete should invest in personal development and realizing their authentic identity along the sports journey to ensure success beyond the ‘sports bubble’ whether its relationships, money or career transitions, because if not managed correctly there are serious consequences.

The solution to any problem without a doubt is grounded in expertise accountability and applicable education. Change simply won’t happen until grown men start wanting to learn.

I have done a separate episode just on RELATIONSHIPS but I want to revisit and discuss briefly ‘Why’ they are so important. But mostly WHY do athletes seem to have the ‘worse’ case scenarios with relationships? Seriously. I believe this is 100% reflective and serves as a fantastic example of WHY it is so important to work on personal growth.

And this leads me into a perspective of overall ‘baseline’ tried and true methods that are proven to yield positive results such as Family (Support and Communication), Coaches (Mentoring, Effectiveness, Bullying and Abuse) and Teammates (Support, The 3 C’s and Collaboration)

Pain and inflammation are common chronic symptoms among athletes, as well as the general public. In mild form they can sap energy and reduce overall performance. When sever, they can be completely incapacitating. There is nothing more debilitating to an athletic career than pain and inflammation.

I have seen first-hand that if you take the preventative and nutritional approaches to eliminate, or at least reduce them, your quality of life will become exponentially better. Taking the appropriate steps to free yourself from pain and inflammation takes knowledge, discipline and effort, but it will be worthwhile for the overall benefits:

· Having more energy and feel less sluggish
· Soreness and inflammation reduced
· You will be less susceptible to cramping, fatigue and injury
· Muscles will operate and recover better, thus, athletic performance will improve
· You will be more resistant to disease

Episode 20: THE HEART AND SOUL OF MENTAL TOUGHNESS: STAYING RELAXED UNDER PRESSURE AND CONCENTRATION

If you have big dreams that you want to reach, if you want to take your game to that next level as an athlete, then you need to learn and master these two critical components of mental toughness. Without these essential abilities to stay cool in the clutch and focused on what’s important, the blunt reality is that : you’ll never rise above being an “average Joe.”

So in this episode, we’ll will explore these two key mental skills that form the foundation of mental toughness.

“RELAXATION & CONCENTRATION - The heart and soul of mental toughness”

Let’s start with some real basics here: If you want to become a champion and take your game to the highest level possible then you have to be sure that you train like a champion. What does this mean? The most obvious part of this is that you have to pay your physical dues. You have to bust your butt on a consistent basis and do everything possible physically to help you reach your goal. There is absolutely no substitute for hard work when it comes to being successful. The less obvious part of your training in becoming a champion has to do with making sure that you also train the mental dimension. The best conditioned, highest skilled athlete will consistently fall apart at crunch time if he/she doesn’t have his/her head on straight. That is, you can’t become a champion and take your game as far as possible without developing the mind of a champion. What’s this “mind of a champion?”

Having the mind of a champion, in very simple terms, means that you are mentally tough. Mental toughness is a cliché that coaches, athletes, sports fans and the media constantly throw around. Everyone talks about the importance of “being mentally tough” but few can tell you exactly what “mental toughness” really means or how you should go about developing it.

I look at “mental toughness” as an umbrella term that covers a number of different, sometimes interrelated mental skills. When you combine all of these mental skills together into one person, the end result is an athlete who is mentally tough. What are all of the component skills of mental toughness?

#1) Staying calm under pressure = maintaining a physical looseness and emotional/mental relaxation when the game is on the line.
#2) Concentrating on what’s important and being able to either block out and/or let go of distractions.
#3) Rebounding quickly from mistakes, bad breaks and bad calls during the run of the game.
#4) Avoiding psych-outs and intimidation.
#5) Mastering physical and emotional adversity/pain/discomfort.
#6) Effectively handling last minute negative thinking and self-doubts.
#7) Maintaining control of your emotions.
#8) Believing in yourself NO MATTER WHAT.
#9) Being self-motivated.
#10) Having winning self-confidence
