In this episode Tim and China interview and hang out with Mitch Canham.

Mitch Canham burst onto the National scene as the catcher for the two time National Champion Oregon State Beavers.  Back to back Champions in 2006-2007. Legendary and still head coach Pat Casey for the Beavers said Mitch was the best leader in the country. 

Out of college he was a first round pick by the San Diego Padres and spent 9 seasons in the minor leagues with 6 organizations and 14 different teams. 

Thinking the minor league life style was over this year he got a call from the Seattle Mariners to be the manager of the Clinton Lumberjacks (Single A team in the Midwest League). Here is the funny thing, Mitch has never managed or coached a game in in his life. His team goes on to win 86 games and come up one game short in the Midwest League Championship game. 

He’s already been promoted and will be the manager for the Modesto Nuts in the 2017 season.

Patrick is a singer song write out of New York and is on a pursuit to influence as many people as he can with his music.

I love how he talks about forgiveness early in the episode and going through different seasons in life.

In this episode Tim and China sit down for an interview for YSPN360.com. YSPN360 is a company dedicated to providing proper youth instruction from elite level coaches and instructors. They also wish to prioritize the fun and enjoyment of the players while also teaching the fundamentals of athletics.

Tim and China dive into their observations of youth sports over the years and also the current scope of youth athletics. They dive into what parents should look for, how to empower the athlete, and many other tools and concepts that can help get the most out of an athlete’s youth sports experience.  

At the end of the day it is all about making sure that the athlete is having fun. It is not about a championship at 9 years old. It is not about going 365 days a year on one sport alone. It is about an athlete having fun and developing both on and off the field. Enjoy!

In this episode Tim and China discuss the concept of Self Competition. In this increasingly short attention span society, we have to hold ourselves accountable for what wee focus on. We have the power to control our actions and a lot of our thoughts and not much else. We must learn to live internally and compete to be the best version of ourselves every day.

Tim and China discuss Tim’s saying, “You are either an amateur or you're a professional.” Basically, every decision that you make you have an opportunity to be an amateur or a professional. If you are competing with yourself to be elite, and to be the best version of yourself, train yourself to make the professional decision. This could be something as simple as brushing your teeth before bed. The more small professional decisions you make over time, the more your standard will be professional and not amateur.

Be a professional tribe! Kick today’s ass one decision at a time!

In this episode Tim and China discuss the societal temperature on topics like loyalty, service and being there for others. They also talk about the power of seeking solutions instead of focusing on the problem or the drama in life.

In the modern world the attention span is rapidly declining. If we are not careful, our routine and the mundane will take over our lives. Tim and China challenge the tribe to reflect on their lives and take responsibility for what happens to them. We have so much more control of our lives than we give ourselves credit for.

Take control of your life and seek the solution rather than focusing on the problem and the drama. Simplify your life and define what it is that you want and go get it!

In this episode Tim and China talk about the lost art of being cordial. So many of us get consumed by technology and our routine that we forget about human-to-human connection. We forget about the power of “please” and “thank you”. We forget about the power of eye contact and a simple smile.

Tim and China discuss experiences from their own life to display he power of being cordial. The amazing thing is that we all have the equal ability to treat others with peace, love and positivity. It is a choice. If you begin to implement situational awareness, and treating people positively, you will see a tremendous positive shift in your life.

Take the journey with Tim and China on this episode and enjoy!

In this episode China and Tim discuss the concept of diversification. 

A lot of times we think of diversification as a financial term that has to do with stock portfolios but it is so much more than that. We can diversify our lives to bring multiple areas of passion into our lives to live more abundantly. If we are focused too much on one thing, and that thing goes south or negative, it affects all of our life. If we diversify our lives one problem will not derail us and we can put our energy into other fields of passion.

The key to successful diversification is give 100% of your effort and 100% of your focus to whatever the task at hand is. You want your hands in a bunch of different things but you want to focus on one thing at a time in the moment. That is the key to successful diversification. Commit to the moment and give the task at hand your all before moving on to the next one.

Learn how to diversify your life effectively in this episode from Tim and China and get to work!

In this episode Tim and China discuss the topic of Labeling. 

Things are labeled in our lives from the very second we are born. We are programmed to think a certain way, look a certain way and strive for certain things. Our peers, our family and the media program us constantly to label situations, individuals or circumstances a certain way. We do not even notice that we structure our life based on these labels and get far away from our true and genuine self.

We have to analyze what our societal expectations versus our personal expectations. Are your personal expectations yours or are they what societal labels have created in your head?

Tim and China dive deep in to these concepts and give you actionable steps to make sure you are living a genuine life and taking ownership of your labels for the world. Enjoy!
