The Mindset Experience®

Justin Tucker is the most accurate kicker in the NFL, is a 5X Probowler, Super Bowl Champion and owns the record for the longest kick in history (66 yard field goal). What’s more impressive is his mindset and process to achieve success beginning at the age of 4. Learn about the direct correlation in his ability to master a musical performance with the ability to focus his thoughts and emotions ensuring a game winning field goal. We also discuss his continued attention to improving every detail in his pre-kick routine, which lasts only 13.8 seconds on the field but creates memories and experiences that last a lifetime. His appreciation for his team, fans and family combined with his enjoyment of the smallest moments are building a legacy bigger than anyone who will ever play his position.

As the youngest of 5, Mary Griffin was given the inspiration, love and support to excel in life. As a NCAA D1 freshman, her lacrosse season was cut short due to COVID, her parents lost their jobs & a tree fell on her brother’s car. Hopeful for a new start as a sophmore, her life got even more complicated when she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer while in isolation from COVID. She accessed the support of a former teammate also battling cancer, decided this hardship would give her an advantage & chose to embrace the imperfections of the year, which was “Not a 10.”  Mary teaches us, “If you are a mess, you have a message.”

John Rallo was a 3 sport HS athlete who got into MMA fighting by accident. Using his wrestling and background, he found initial success going undefeated and even earned a spot on the Ultimate Fighter. An ACL injury forced him to overcome his ego and shift his focus. He found a mentor in Renzo Gracie, earned a 4th degree black belt, grew his own training school with multiple locations, advocated to get MMA legalized in Maryland and committed himself to serving his local community. His mindset is simple, “You either win or you learn.”

Eric DeCosta has been with the Ravens since day 1, from an intern to a scout and now the GM/Executive VP since 2019. His dream began at age 6 when he decided, “to be the guy that builds the team.” Despite his limitations, he loved to learn, showed enthusiasm every day, actively looked for ways to improve and earned respect from his peers.

He was rejected by all but one NFL team, but with that opportunity he created a process making him irreplaceable. His work ethic, growth mindset, thirst for knowledge and ability to truly define competiveness and strength continues to make the Baltimore Ravens and the local community better each day.

TD Irelan is a 3X All American, Tewaaraton Finalist, pro lacrosse standout and coach.

Early on, his father challenged him, believed in him and showed him how much he cares. Football taught him mental preparation. Wrestling taught him mental toughness and accountability. Chess taught him patience and creativity. These experiences combined with the mindset to learn from others has made him the most dominant face off specialist in the sport of lacrosse.

TD teaches us that the gap between good and great is small, there are many athletes in that gap and we get to choose what we do in that gap.
