From the Other Side of the Mic: 3 MLB Perspectives on High-Performance Environments

This is the second episode of the From the Other Side of the Mic series where I'm cross-sharing a conversation from a different podcast I've been on. Today's episode is a recording of a discussion I was part of for the Coach Your Brains Out podcast, where I joined Billy Allen, Ceci Clark, and Bernie Holliday for a deep dive into what it truly takes to create a high-performance environment.In this conversation, you’ll hear three different perspectives from practitioners who have led mental performance departments in Major League Baseball. Together, we unpack how environments are intentionally designed, how standards and behaviors are shaped, and why culture is one of the most powerful performance drivers available to leaders.Finally, be sure to subscribe to the show to stay current with upcoming short-form and long-form episodes throughout 2026. New guest interview epidoes will be released in a few weeks. Learn More About the Coach Your Brains Out Podcast:You can listen to other episodes on the Coach Your Brains Out podcast here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/coach-your-brains-out/id1060183650You can also watch a previous discussion from this panel where we discussed our perspectives on "positive thinking": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fB2JPz0XpEcYou can learn more about Billy Allen here:You can learn more about Ceci Craft here:You can learn more about Bernie Holliday here:  Learn More About Zach:If you’re a coach or leader striving for more clarity, consistency, and fulfillment, feel free to sign up for a free discovery call to see how I can best support you: https://calendly.com/zachbrandon/discoverycallFor more practical tools and mindset stories like this, you can subscribe to my free newsletter here: https://winningwithwords.beehiiv.com/
