Ornstein & Rosenberg | Raising the Game: D1 Recruit, Father, & Coach on Mindset & Recruiting #58

Send us Fan MailIn this intimate, family-style conversation, host Danny Rosenberg sits with his son Jacob—a talented face-off specialist—and Jacob’s mentor Zack Ornstein (owner of ZRO Performance / former D1 player) to unpack the mental demands of elite athletics, especially the unique pressure of the face-off position in lacrosse. Through raw, reflective stories, they explore turning nerves into fuel, releasing bad performances, navigating recruiting with realistic expectations, and building an identity that isn’t defined by the game. A hopeful, grounded listen for young athletes, parents, coaches, or anyone facing high-stakes moments in sport or life.⏰ Timestamps ⏰  00:00 🎬 Teaser 1:23 👋 Welcome: Jacob Rosenberg & Zack Ornstein3:22 🌱 Zack's Journey: From Player to Holistic Mental Coach7:47 🧠 The Mental Game in Face-Offs (80% Mind, 20% Mechanics)13:45 ⏱️ Time Between Tasks: Why Face-Offs Differ from Other Positions16:14 🔥 Turning Nervous Energy into Fuel19:37 🌊 Jacob's Growth: From Overthinking Losses to Sideline Flow23:17 💡 Learning to Lose Comfortably (The Key to Winning)30:25 🎓 Recruiting Realities: Where You're Valued, Not Just Ranked39:02 🏆 What Coaches Truly Seek: EQ, Locker-Room Fit & It Factor47:07 🌅 Jacob's Reflection: Take It One Day at a Time57:43 🔗 Final Words & ClosingWhat’s one high-pressure moment—on the field or in life—where you turned nervous energy into focus and flow?#mentalperformance #FaceOff #lacrosse #sports #mindset #athlete #athletemindset #SportsPsychology #overcomingobstacles  #overcomingchallenges #mentalresilience #athletes #journeytosuccess  #emotionalintelligence #giveback #MindsetCoach #DailyGrowth #coaching #sports #athletelife #coach #athleticperformance #athletetraining #postivevibes #realtalk #podcast #performance #recruitment #mindsetmatters #motivation  @FaceoffAcademy Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more episodes of Two Taps and Friends! 🍻Follow us:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/twotapsandfriendsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/twotaps_and_friendsTiktok: https://tiktok.com@twotapsandfriendsX: https://x.com/TwoTapsFriends🎧 Listen now on:Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/two-taps-and-friends/id1793804856Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0wvjYhEX4wqbmawXRk8WTjAmazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/5d7a4671-7ffd-49a2-9a4c-ecee6e86f6b8/two-taps-and-friendsiHeart Radio: https://iheart.com/podcast/263402137Merch Shop: https://www.redbubble.com/people/Two-Taps
