[00:06] Ryan: Welcome to shift happens athlete mindset hacks, where we talk everything, mindset development, taking lessons from college and pro athletes, coaches and teams that we get to work alongside. I'm Ryan Schachner. This is Cheney Robinson. And today we're still talking about the 

[01:15] Cheney: Yeah, that's exactly right. And it's having the energy to be able to do that. Right. To be able to, hey, we've got differences, but we're on the same team. We've got the same goal, same purpose. And we'd like to think similar mindsets of, hey, going after this. But it's being able to, with this, say, not to be political, but if you got conservatives, you got democrats. How do we tolerate each other to have that similar goal and that similar purpose for what we're, what we're trying to accomplish? And this speaks to the energy of that. And I can tolerate, because if we're looking at, if there's a low tolerance here, I'm not, I can't deal with anybody that is not, that doesn't think and act and do this and say the same things that I say.

[02:12] Ryan: And so that's a great, I loved how you described that. So how can you come together despite differences and accomplish the goal? And so you would think in this one that being off the charts on the high scoring on it would be a good thing. But as we talk about with the guys going into the NFL and the, those that are in the pros or about to be in the pros and the different sports we work on, this can work against you, too, right? Because we talk about, you know, you can tolerate people and mistakes too much, people taking advantage of you too much. And we see a lot of those stories of, you know, you gave your buddy money to start a restaurant and nothing happened. Well, there was probably indicators before that that that wasn't a wise move, but you tolerated those sorts of actions, you know, too much, and then you made that final mistake or you hung out with the wrong person and they, you know, did something wrong and now the police are there, and now all of a sudden you're in the news as that athlete. And, and so you tolerated that too much and people took advantage of it. And so just like on the low scoring side where, hey, you only can operate with people that think like you, talk like you, act like you. That's not always a bad thing. If you're in the right environment and the right situation where your coach operates like that and they can get the most out of you, it doesn't mean you're going to be a bad teammate. It may just mean that you're going to isolate yourself and keep to yourself. It 

[04:16] Cheney: Right. Well, I think to kind of wrap this one up, I think is you can get, if there is too much or too high level of tolerance, we see that that's, you know, you're people oriented and you're people pleaser. You just have a hard time saying no. And again, it speaks to the awareness. If you're aware of that, then, okay, now I need to do something about it now that I 

[04:43] Ryan: Absolutely. So next one is compassion and engagement. Do you want to give a stab at describing this one? Cheney?

[04:51] Cheney: Yeah. And we know compassion is being, is understanding. People come from different walks of life and having compassion for 

[06:15] Ryan: Yeah, I think where you see this sometimes is quarterback throws an interception or receiver drops a touchdown or a pitcher gives up the game winning home run. The individuals with that compassion and a high compassion and engagement are the first ones to go over and sympathize that, hey, I've been in this situation. We know it's not okay, that it's not acceptable to do those sorts of things, but we've been there. It's going to be all right. We're going to get another opportunity. And those are, that's how you can exhibit it. Right. And that's really a good example of where those people will kind of elevate and stand out.

[07:04] Cheney: And I think it's not necessarily synonymous, but I think sportsmanship is, could be, could play into this as well. I was thinking 

[07:38] Ryan: Yeah, I think, too, you know, that's a great example because I remember a Brady story about saying, you know, when you're on my team, 

[08:30] Cheney: Yeah.

[08:30] Ryan: And being there for your team to be able to execute well, that's, you.

[08:36] Cheney: Know, he speaks to, we talk about Jordan a lot, and he would manufacture or fabricate stuff from time to time. We've all seen the last dance and he was, somebody say something in the paper or he talked about one player walking off the court was like, hey, good game. And I 

[09:04] Ryan: Yeah, I think there was one, they were going out to dinner and he was walking by. George Carl said good luck or something like that.

[09:12] Cheney: Yeah, yeah.

[09:12] Ryan: And it got him so fired up. So, yeah, I mean, those stories are great, right? Last one in the people in team capacity is appropriately assertive. So I like to describe this one as knowing when to step up and when to let situations play out, knowing when to be vocal and knowing when to hang back. Let the coach handle something. And it's just having that knowledge and then executing on stepping up when the time is right.

[09:51] Cheney: There was a play, Georgia guy. Okay? It was the national championship that Georgia beat Alabama. And Alabama's close, right? I 

[11:12] Ryan: Yeah, absolutely.

[11:14] Cheney: Though.

[11:14] Ryan: People in team capacity. Tolerance to others. Compassion and engagement. Appropriately assertive. Thanks for joining us on another
