[00:06] Ryan: Welcome to shift happens athlete Mindset hacks, where we talk everything mindset development, taking lessons from the college and pro athletes, coaches and teams, we get to work alongside. I'm Ryan Schachner. This is Cheney Robinson. And today I'm throwing something at
[01:45] Cheney: And let me say this, too, before you get in, because as you've kind of set this up, it makes me think of even beyond athletics in the corporate world, it's, it's working on your business rather than working in it. Right. You went to your spot this past weekend and, and typically when you come out of this from your spot, you've, you, that's where you do a lot of your best thinking. So I'm excited about what this is. It's like Christmas morning. You, I don't, I know it's packaged nicely. I'm ready to unopen it or ready to open it. So let's do it.
[02:19] Ryan: I'm going to give you a rule. Okay. And I'm just going to spell it differently. I'm going to spell it r u l e e. Right. So this is a rule. And again,
[03:37] Cheney: Yeah, I like it. We've talked in a previous podcast, percentage wise, right, of having yourself surrounded with high performers, and your production increases 15%. Right? Did I get that number correctly? Now, if you've got low performers in your circle, it reduces your productivity by 30. Focus on the negative. This. Get rid of the negative. Yeah. Love it. Love that.
[04:05] Ryan: All right, next one. Uniqueness. You may not meet the very stringent physical requirements or the prototype, the visual prototype of a professional athlete or a, you know, corporate, a business owner or a CEO,
[06:34] Cheney: Well, I think that you've articulated that very well and in this mindset. Right. And it's, you know, one of the guys combine that we worked with, they asked him afterwards, what was it that separated you?
[07:07] Ryan: Yeah. And they don't have NFL contracts.
[07:09] Cheney: That's true.
[07:12] Ryan: All right, now, the l. So rule spelled r u l e e. I know. It's spelled wrong for everybody listening. So r is reduce, u is uniqueness. L is language. Okay. So what you say out loud is much more powerful than your self talk. And, you know, the best teams, they're great at communicating, then they communicate with each other in a powerful manner. Right. They motivate when they need to, they criticize or coach when they need to. There's clear communication on what the players, what the position groups need from each other in order to operate at that high level. So it's much more important what you say out loud in the line of positivity, because what goes on in, what goes on in your own head affects you. What you say out loud affects more people.
[08:23] Cheney: Right. Well, and, too, we've talked about communication, body language, tone, and the words. Right. And the body language has got to match up with the words that you're actually saying. Obviously, in the tone. It's got to be. It's got to be there, too. So now that makes a lot of sense of, hey, if I'm trying to lead and I'm vocally leading, all of these things have got to match up, because if my body language is not reflecting that I'm motivating and trying to encourage, then I'm falsely communicating or I'm communicating negatively. Right. And people are going to respond to that negatively. I think that goes back to the r of reducing negativity. So I think I like where we're headed. Let's keep going.
[09:13] Ryan: Well, in the language piece, I think back at the. I think a great example is the Super bowl. Wherever the Patriots came back from, you
[09:31] Cheney: Yeah.
[09:31] Ryan: And you can see video of Brady on the sidelines getting guys hyped up. Hey, we're making this happen. We're going to come back. He was in front you know, in the defense, in the offense, he was, he was telling them, hey, you need to stop these guys because we're going to score again. So what he said out loud made his team, you know, behave and act in a way and perform. Right.
[09:59] Cheney: Yeah.
[10:00] Ryan: But I guarantee you what was going on in his head was, I don't know if we can make this happen. We're going to try. But there was an element of doubt in his head. Right. So the language you use side of yourself talk is exponentially more powerful than what you say to yourself because it affects more people. All right, the first e the real.
[10:24] Cheney: Quick, I saw a clip recently, Bill Walton was talking about Blair Bird, right? And in this game, it's late. I mean, it's late in the third quarter and Celtics are down, I don't know, 25. It was a bunch, right? And Larry Bird's about to take the ball out and he's running, he's in front of the Celtics bench and he, the, the referee hands him the ball and bird kind of
[11:16] Ryan: So the first e is even, all right? So even means you need to be neutral. You need to stay in neutral when something happens, okay. Something happens whether it's good or whether it's bad, there's no emotion tied into it. Right. It just happened. Right. So you don't get caught up in the positivity or the negativity of whatever happened. So if you throw a bad pass, right. If you throw an interception, all right, it happened. What do I need to do now in order to, in light of the fact that that happened, right. You get down and you score a touchdown. Great. That happened. Don't get too high like you need to now. Yeah. What do I need to adjust to now that, you know, we scored this, this touchdown? So even, you know, operate in neutral when something happens. It just happens. Accept it and
[12:40] Cheney: You talked about being a Tennessee guy. I'm a Georgia guy and Kirby smart. That's one of the things he's really harps on, is don't respond. You're going to get taunted. You're going to get baited. Don't respond to it. You know, even killed. You're exactly right. You know, don't respond to the negativity. Right. Um, and Ted Lasso talks about this, too, in his show, and I'm. I'm sure everybody that's listening has seen this, but, uh, he talks about one of. He's talking to one of the players and tells him to have a. The memory of a goldfish, which is 10 seconds, and then, you know, 10 seconds, then you're moving on. You've forgotten about that. So there's no more negative thought on if you threw an incomplete pass. Right. It's moving on. Let's get this. Move on to the next one. Um, so, yeah, that. There's a lot of value to that. And then we've already said it today, the. When you have that success is act like you've been there. Like, you know, the mindset should be, I expect to be successful. I expect to score. Um, now I've just. I'm meeting my expectations. So, you know, Herschel used to do that.
[13:49] Ryan: So when it happens. Yeah, when it happens.
[13:53] Cheney: It's not like it's a surprise, like I expected this to happen. Herschel used to, and he did it. He actually did it a couple of times in NFL, where he spiked the football. But in college, he always tossed the ball after he scored, which was a lot. He tossed the ball right back to the referee.
[14:10] Ryan: Last e in rule for building the winning mindset, the five key components, right? Emotions. So stop paying attention to feelings.
[15:09] Cheney: When you distance yourself from your teammates, too, right? And it's. Again, it's gelling one unit. It's like I'm. Hey, I'm. I got my job to do, but I'm also looking out for you at the same time. And if you're, if your emotions are just putting your, you putting yourself out on an island out by yourself, then am I going to be, if I'm going to have the same interest and desire to, hey, I'm looking out for your best interest as well. Still got my job to do, but I'm also, I'm looking to help either side wherever I meet. I'm needed. Yeah.
[15:49] Ryan: So rule, right. Building, building a winning mindset. What are the five key components to that right now? It takes work to do all of this type of stuff. It's not just a, all right, I've heard this now I'm just going to implement all of it. I mean, it takes time. It takes someone. But as we talk
[16:25] Cheney: What this is doing, again, it's, it's encompassing what we've been talking about and the work that we're getting to do anyway. And it's using a compilation, if you will, of all the different mindset components, coachability and trainability and well being and all. It takes a little bit of all
[16:47] Ryan: You heard it here first. It's our rule for developing a winning mindset. Hey, thank you for joining us on shift happens. I'm Ryan. This is Cheney. Until next time.
