Winning Your Mornings With A Success Routine

When Preparation Meets Opportunity: The Fundamentals -Episode 26 w/ James Brown

The paradox of perfectionism and the Failure Formula - Episode 25 w/ Coach Bryn

Athletes struggle with wanting to be perfect

This is often because they hold themselves to the highest of standards.

This, on its surface, may not seem all that bad since of course one wants to be the best

However these standards are often far too high, and often unattainable leading them to experience issues with anxiety, mental distress, and ultimately can result in mental health challenges if left unchecked.

In this episode we are talking about why calling yourself a perfectionist and harmful and ultimately why being a perfectionist doesn't ever lead to greatness.

Then we turn our attention to everyone's biggest fear: Failure.

We will go over the 3 steps to the failure formula to make it work for you rather than against you.

Please check out this episode and share it with someone who needs to let go of their label of a perfectionist and learn how to use failure properly.

The Shift: From Passion To Professional - Episode 24 w/ Rohan Ricketts

Former Professional Footballer Rohan Ricketts is our guest this week.

Felt it was time to cover another new sport for my audience.

Rohan shared in this episode about his journey from being a young player passionate about a popular sport to making the shift into the mindset and hardwork of a professional more serious player.

He also shared about his travels and exposing different people to black folks but taking the responsibility of giving them a positive reflection of people of color.

So many gems shared in this episode and how Rohan is now passing on those gems to his youth athletes through his Rohan Ricketts academy.

The Consistency Code: How To Be Intentionally Consistent - Episode 23 w/ Coach Bryn

A question I get asked often as a mental performance coach is How can I be consistent or more consistent.

The funny thing is that we are ALREADY consistent!

The Better question is How Can I be more intentionally consistent or are the things I am consistent in leading me towards or away from my goals.

In this episode I will be giving you the 5 steps to intentional consistency.

If you follow these 5 steps you will reach more of your goals and have a system for knocking just about anything about.

Of course working with a coach, team, or partner is going to be very helpful along the way as well.

Let me know below what is your biggest takeaway and how will you apply this toward your sport and life goals.

The resilience code: How To Focus On The Process vs. The Outcome -Episode 22 w/ Steve Fisher

Former professional Snowboarder is our guest this week on the podcast.

Steve is sharing all about his journey from a guy on a store-bought plastic snowboard shaped board to shredding powder with some of the best in the world.

He talks candidly about some of his own struggles in pursuit of the olympics.

He shares about his beginnings when snowboarding was just becoming a thing.

Steve came up in a time when they didn't even fit snowboards for young feet and yet he carved out a path to competing with the tops of the top and got some major props from them.

We learn with Steve why being in sports that only have their hey day at the Olympics can be challenging for funding and recognition.

Also the biggest lesson of all how to not get so focused on one competition that you can only perform well outside of it.

Really enjoyed the conversation with Steve and hope you will too.

How To Be A Better Coach: Learning the Love Language of Your players - Episode 21 - w/Coach Bryn

Often you see situations where a player or athlete thrives in one environment and does poorly in the other.

It may have you saying why is that?

In this episode I am asserting it is because we did not learn that players love language

Now I know some people think it isn't about love its about doing your job, especially in the case of pro sports and while I do believe that has a place you catch more flies with honey than you do vinegar.

So, imagine we learned the love language of our athletes, or just simply took the time to get to know them better you would then see a difference in the output.

We hear about an ROI in terms of stocks but what about ROI in terms of time put into a player.

It costs organizations millions in player development and obviously they are seeing it is paying off.

Take the time to invest in your player and they will in turn show you how much it means to them in their production and leadership.
