Cleveland Indians' Brian Miles on Being Present in the Process
Even people who may seem effortlessly successful on the outside go through the same kinds of internal struggles as everyone else. Recognizing your power to control parts of your day and to choose consistency in working toward your goals is key to unlocking your full potential. This week, Cleveland Indians Mental Performance Coach Brian Miles talks about being present, quieting the ego, and committing to the challenges you set for yourself. When Miles is running laps in the morning, it’s always tempting to stop at six instead of doing the full nine around the field, he says. He’s honest when he talks about these small bumps in the road throughout the day because it’s important for people to know they aren’t alone in working past that inner voice that sometimes wants to give up. Taking back your power to achieve means making the choice to win the battle and recognizing that you have a say in your own success. It may feel risky or scary at first, but it ultimately opens up more opportunities in the long run. Support the show by using code PODCAST for 15% off at CompeteEveryDay.com!

Coach Drew Maddux on Competition & Encouragement
For Drew Maddux, head basketball coach at Christ Presbyterian Academy in Nashville, the future is always in the background of his coaching efforts. By keeping a vision of what is possible for his team down the road, he’s able to take a human-centered approach to coaching. Through fostering connections and trust with his players, Maddux reinforces their potential as individuals, both on and off the court. Building a championship culture starts with all the little things that happen behind the scenes, he says. It’s how players tuck in their shirts, walk onto the court, tie their shoelaces, and interact with their teammates. All of those details work in service of a larger vision for them 10 or 15 years in the future, making it possible to groom leaders by reinforcing good practices and habits every day. “We’re going to hold them accountable and we’re going to make sure there’s a clear understanding that accountability is directly correlated with love, not having an agenda, and wanting what’s best for them as a human being,” he says.

Dr. Daya Grant on What Neuroscience Says About Mindfulness
Mindfulness is all about opening yourself up to truly experiencing whatever is happening in the present moment. It’s a word that some people gravitate toward, just as others tend to avoid it. But at its core, it’s about living with your feet on the ground, wherever you are. This week, Dr. Daya Grant, who is a neuroscientist, yoga instructor, and sport psychology consultant, talks about the benefits of taking a deep breath, filtering out the white noise, and focusing on what’s really important. Dr. Grant says there are ways you can incorporate these tips into your everyday routine to help you hone your focus and put your best foot forward, no matter what life brings your way. For example, you might want to start your day by not looking at your phone. Whether you can hold off for 8 minutes or a whole hour, every bit helps. At the end of the day, perhaps try journaling and writing down the things you’d like to process before you sleep. And before you begin an important task, find a pre-performance routine that works for you, so you’re reading to pay attention without distraction when the time comes.

Amanda Myhrberg on How to Build Your Mental "A Game"
There are three options we have for dealing with our thoughts. We can ignore them, challenge them, or delve into them. Learning when to choose each of these approaches is a key component of building helpful self-talk. That can be a game changer for young athletes and others who have to spend a lot of time making decisions and judgment calls in their own heads, which is why learning to do it in a productive way is critical. This week, Amanda Myrhrberg talks about the importance of useful thought processes and why we should focus on expanding our comfort zone, rather than breaking out of it. She’s the owner of A Game Sport Psychology Consulting, where she uses mental performance training to help young athletes and others “bring their A game.” Her goal is to build confident, comfortable, and thoughtful athletes who know how to face challenges head on and learn to overcome them.

Learning when to choose each of these approaches is a key component of building helpful self-talk. That can be a game changer for young athletes and others who have to spend a lot of time making decisions and judgment calls in their own heads, which is why learning to do it in a productive way is critical. This week, Amanda Myrhrberg talks about the importance of useful thought processes and why we should focus on expanding our comfort zone, rather than breaking out of it. She’s the owner of A Game Sport Psychology Consulting, where she uses mental performance training to help young athletes and others “bring their A game.” Her goal is to build confident, comfortable, and thoughtful athletes who know how to face challenges head on and learn to overcome them.

Nick Shaw on How to Be Fit for Success
It’s important to find a sense of balance or stability, even at the most unstable points in our lives. This week, RP founder Nick Shaw talks about using free time to work on larger projects and being sure to save time for relaxation and mental recharging to avoid burnout. It isn’t always possible to align your time exactly the way you want to, but by focusing on the things that are in your control, you can start to make better decisions about how to use the hours you have. There’s always something a little more you could be doing to further your progress toward your goals, Shaw says. Whether it’s doing a few extra reps, rethinking your daily schedule, or reworking your time management, it’s important to look at the options you have and find out what works best for you mentally and physically. If you burn the candle too far at both ends, you can wind up with more work and fewer met goals. But if you get complacent and adopt a victim mentality, you can find yourself lagging behind. Once you find discipline and a work setup that are right for you, you’ll be set to tackle the milestones you set.

Nataly Kogan on Emotional Fitness + Living Happier
“There is no glory in struggle,” says Nataly Kogan, Founder and CEO of Happier. Everyone faces challenges in life and has to overcome different types of adversity, but how we choose to do that can have a great impact on the outcome. This week, Kogan shares strategies for building mental and emotional fitness, and finding ways to thrive and grow, instead of just surviving. When she was 13, Kogan and her family moved to the United States from Russia as refugees. She came from a tradition where struggling was considered good, and where suffering was accepted as a necessary component of finding success. By the time she was 35, she was in the midst of burnout and needed to rethink her approach to life and work. She made the choice to focus on emotional fitness and wellbeing and has learned to reframe struggles as challenges. Now, she shares those skills with others hoping to be effective leaders and find happiness and contentment in their own lives.

Jessica Ream on How We Can Grow Our Resilience in a Chaotic World
Every morning, Jessica Ream starts the day with a little, personal happy dance. She puts on a song to get her pumped and thinks: “Today is going to be a good day and we’re going to attack the day.” Other people might prefer to meditate, write in a journal, or repeat a motto to themselves. “When you start the day off like that, then (with) any challenges that arise throughout the day, you’re going to, hopefully, keep that same mindset,” she says. Ream is a mental performance consultant who has worked with the U.S. Army and now runs her own consulting business. This week, she talks about the importance of routine and the power of having a growth mindset. No matter what bumps in the road you face, you can overcome them if you frame them as challenges, rather than unsolvable problems, she says. That approach also gives you the flexibility to handle the changes that will inevitably come your way, so you can always come out stronger than you were before.

Mickey Ahrens on Building Tougher Minds
The year 2020 was full of uncertainty. For Mickey Ahrens, the start of the coronavirus pandemic brought with it serious questions about what he wanted his future to look like. After being furloughed from his job, he founded Tough Minds, which seeks to help people develop mental toughness and bring mindset training programs into the home. In recent years, words like “mindfulness” have been making their way into the mainstream. But some folks may be unsure about how it applies to them or their kids. For Ahrens, building strong-minded individuals, who are self-aware and able to understand their place on a team, helps athletes learn skills they can use outside of sports, too. It’s never too late to begin learning mental toughness and resilience, he says. We can always get better if we keep moving forward, no matter what adversity comes our way.

Mental Performance + High Performers with Ceci Craft
Not all confidence is created equal. There’s the kind you get from positive engagement on social media, for example, and the kind that’s built through learning something new, and challenging yourself to adapt to changing situations. That’s one of the key messages from this week’s guest, mental performance coach Ceci Clark. She spent years working with Army Special Operations and later, the Cleveland Indians, and says that stepping into uncomfortable moments is what makes us feel truly alive. It’s important to foster a willingness and ability to challenge yourself. That’s because life won’t always go exactly the way you hope it will, or follow the steps you’ve planned for. It often forges its own unexpected path forward, and it’s up to you to be able to learn and evolve alongside it. It’s OK to feel nervous or unsure, she says, because the most important thing is what you do with those feelings. Do you turn back or give up when things get tough? Or do you make the choice to pull yourself forward and keep going? Support the show by using code PODCAST for 15% off at CompeteEveryDay.com!

Clint Pulver on The Power of Mentors in our Professional & Personal Lives
There are four types of managers in every company: the removed manager, the buddy manager, the controller, and the mentor. For employees, there are two characteristics that can make or break a working relationship. The first is standards. In order to grow, managers need to have expectations. But are they able to walk the walk, or just talk the talk? The second is connection. Are they able to empathize with their employees? These are some of the questions we talk about with this week’s guest, author and Undercover Millennial Clint Pulver. He’s spent the last several years interviewing employees candidly about their experiences working for different companies. The one thing that comes up again and again is it’s all about the management. As a manager, you’re the No. 1 reason employees stay or go. That’s why it’s important to understand your style and work to continually improve. Pulver says the magic happens when people become mentor managers. If you’re able to have high standards and good, empathetic connections, you can build a workplace that people won’t want to leave.

Clint Pulver on The Power of Mentors in our Professional & Personal Lives
There are four types of managers in every company: the removed manager, the buddy manager, the controller, and the mentor. For employees, there are two characteristics that can make or break a working relationship. The first is standards. In order to grow, managers need to have expectations. But are they able to walk the walk, or just talk the talk? The second is connection. Are they able to empathize with their employees?

Think Fast. Compete Fast.
The faster you think, the faster you play. This is why athletes train religiously on basic footwork & drills so that it becomes instinctive. It’s why coaches try to make complex gameplans simple to digest & execute. The more you think about something, the slower you are to act. Same goes with our life. Unless we learn to identify 3 key things, our decision-making process – and the time it takes us to get our goals – takes longer. Join Competitor Nation by clicking here.

Karen Cogan on Mental Health & Having an Olympian's Mindset
It wasn’t a choice for Karen Cogan to stop competing in gymnastics. When a knee injury ended her athletic career, she had to find a new way to engage with sports. She decided to pursue sports psychology and for many years now, has worked with the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Teams. She uses her own struggle transitioning out of athletics to inform the way she guides other athletes through the challenges of their sports careers. Something Cogan learned when she started working with Olympic athletes was that there is perhaps more disappointment and grief than you might expect. While we often see the joy and ecstasy of the gold medal win in the spotlight, there are countless athletes who compete and never see a medal. Being a high level athlete means learning how to cope with defeat and find a way to stand back up and regain confidence even when times are tough.

Micha Shaw on Mindfulness & Mental Performance
Even when an outcome is unexpected, don’t forget to give yourself credit for trying to accomplish your goals in the first place. “This year has been challenging for everybody and sometimes, you have to give yourself a little bit of a break,” says Micha Shaw, mindfulness coach and retired competitive swimmer. This week, Shaw talks about the process of coming to terms with things that have happened in the past, and how mindfulness and resilience practice can better prepare you for what’s to come in the future. When Shaw moved from Alaska to California for school, it was a big change full of opportunity. She began swimming competitively and found herself facing off against poolside champs. It was intimidating at first, she says, but she soon learned not to let that get the better of her. After college, she got into open water swimming. Within two years, she’d gone from novice to nationally-ranked. But, when she competed for an Olympic spot at the world championships, she fell short. It took her a long time to understand that experience and now, she helps others learn to focus on the process, rather than just the outcome, and appreciate the little things along the way.

Developing Your Self-Awareness & Winning Mindset with Coach Mike Deegan
For Mike Deegan, the move back to coaching from the corporate world just made sense. His instincts told him he needed to return to education and spend his time serving others. He’s spent the last two decades coaching collegiate baseball, and has watched his teams take three national championships. Over the last six years, he’s also written a book and become a high performance speaker, writer, and coach on the side. This week, Deegan shares tips for building strong teams and says sometimes, you just have to follow your gut. Currently, his team follows a set of pillars — or core values — that they believe help them succeed as individuals and as a whole. Those include practicing gratitude, seeking continuous improvement, and celebrating other people’s wins. By learning to push yourself hard and find joy in recognizing that others are doing the same, you can gain self-awareness and encourage it in others. Ultimately, that creates a culture of always striving for more and being willing to put in the work to get there. Support the show by using code PODCAST for 15% off at CompeteEveryDay.com!

How To Be More Disciplined In Your Pursuits with Brian Kight
For Brian Kight, unflinching realism and relentless optimism are like the two rails of a train track. Without either one, the train can’t move forward. For some people, taking a long, hard look at realism is a challenge. For others, it’s easy to get stuck in the rut of pessimism. But while many may feel these forces are in opposition, Kight says the ability to be realistic and optimistic helps you cut through excuses and take control of the decisions you make. They are also two of the core principles of the DMGB mindset, which stands for “Doesn’t Matter, Get Better.” Regardless of what challenges you face, or how motivated you are or aren’t, you can make the choice to bring your best every day. It’s not about following your passion, Kight says, it’s about bringing your passion with you to everything you do. You have the power to hold yourself to the same high standards no matter what the task at hand is, and use your energy day in and day out. By making the right choices and holding yourself accountable, you can build the discipline you need to bring value to your work.

One Thing All Winning Cultures Have with Toronto Raptors' Dr. Alex Auerbach
For Alex Auerbach, it’s all about the people. As the director of wellness and development for the Toronto Raptors, Auerbach spends his days building a strong workplace culture and supporting resilience and mental performance among players, coaches, and staff. Being able to make a tangible difference in people’s lives has always been appealing to him, he says. By helping those he works with develop the skills and tools they need to be successful in both sports and life, he’s able to follow his passion daily. Looking back on the different organizations he’s worked with over the years, the one thing each and every one of the successful teams had in common was that they took a people-centered approach. It’s important to spend time getting to know the people you’re working with, Auerbach says. While it’s natural to enter into professional and personal relationships with goals in mind, it’s critical to set those aside and co-create a relationship that’s beneficial to all.

The Little Details Matter with Alabama Baseball Strength Coach Brett Price
Brett Price knows the importance of sticking with something he’s passionate about. From the time he was a student himself, he’s known he wanted to work in baseball. So, he found the best people to learn from and worked his way up to becoming the strength and conditioning coach for the baseball program at the University of Alabama. Now, he passes along the lessons he’s learned to the students he works with both on and off the field. It’s important to create a culture of dedication on a team and that comes from having standards, Price says. He defines a standard as what is required of a person regardless of how they feel on any particular day. By letting his players know that the best is expected from them every day, from the moment they walk in the door, they understand their commitment to the team is important. And by using a top-down approach and modeling that behavior for them, his players understand that he cares about them and is willing to do what it takes to help them succeed.

Learning to "Sit in the Mess" to Lead Better with Sebastian Little
Sebastian Little says his life’s purpose is to create spaces for full self-expression and play. Understanding what makes individuals tick and how to use those motivations in service of their larger goals is a key component of his current work as a mental performance coach. This week, he shares his thoughts on the responsibility of leadership and the importance of giving yourself time and space to reflect on important moments in your life. Over the years, Little has had to learn to synthesize his environment -- to take in all the stimuli and information -- and then consolidate the pieces that are actually important. From there, it’s possible to discard the things that are holding him back. It’s been a long road to learn how and why this process is important, and has taken moments of deeply personal reflection. But now, he shares his journey with others in the hopes of helping them find their own path forward. Support the show by using code PODCAST for 15% off at CompeteEveryDay.com!

Destination Unstoppable & Reaching Our Created Potential with Maureen Electa Monte
There are three things that always hold true for teams: they all struggle, they all have untapped talent, and most of them haven’t defined their success. That’s where Maureen Monte steps in. With a background in corporate team building and a commitment to seeing young athletes succeed, she has found her place helping others reach their full potential. This week, she talks about leadership and team development and shares tips for finding success in sports, work, and everyday life. Monte has dedicated her life to facilitating these types of conversations among young athletes and employees alike. But while sports teams, especially, might define success as winning a particular championship or game, that’s not what defines the word for Monte herself. “I want them to win at the long game of life,” she says. She hopes the skills they learn now will serve them well whether they pursue athletics, the corporate world, or college down the line.

With a background in corporate team building and a commitment to seeing young athletes succeed, she has found her place helping others reach their full potential. This week, she talks about leadership and team development and shares tips for finding success in sports, work, and everyday life. Monte has dedicated her life to facilitating these types of conversations among young athletes and employees alike. But while sports teams, especially, might define success as winning a particular championship or game, that’s not what defines the word for Monte herself. “I want them to win at the long game of life,” she says. She hopes the skills they learn now will serve them well whether they pursue athletics, the corporate world, or college down the line.

Empowering Your Team to Lead Each Other with Dartmouth's Spencer Brown
For Dartmouth Coach Spencer Brown, it comes down to owning your results. As both player and coach, you have the choice to put in whatever effort you can to build a strong framework for success. It doesn’t matter how tired you are, or if you’re facing a challenge in your life, so long as when you’re at practice or in a game, you try your best. In this week’s episode, Brown talks about leadership qualities, personal empowerment, and making competition fun, both in sports and in everyday life. Being a coach is about more than just the short time you see your players every day, he says. It’s about instilling values in them and empowering them to make good choices on their own time from morning until night. If they can learn positive habits and decision-making skills in sports, they can carry those forward into their future relationships and pursuits. No detail is too small to ignore, he says. From warm-up to the end of practice, and even the moments they spend at home, every minute counts. Support the show by using code PODCAST for 15% off at CompeteEveryDay.com!

I Love To Watch You Play with Asia Mape
All children are different. They have their own interests and hobbies, and their own unique dreams they want to pursue when they grow up. Some kids will choose to continue playing sports as they get older, while others will take a different path. That’s why it’s important to listen to them as they grow and share with you what makes them happy and fulfilled. This week, Asia Mape, founder of I Love To Watch You Play, shares tips on cultivating a healthy enjoyment of sports in kids of all ages. There will be plenty of time for athletes to focus on the competitive rigours of the game as they move up to higher levels. But for kids to want to stick with sports, they have to have fun doing it. As parents, it’s important to keep that in mind as you encourage them. Sometimes, it will be up to you to step in and advocate for your child, so they carry the love of playing forward into the future. It all comes down to leading by example and making small changes along the way that add up in the end to positive results. Support the show by using code PODCAST for 15% off at CompeteEveryDay.com!

Get to Know Those You Lead with ISU's Jen Malcom
For Iowa State Associate Head Volleyball Coach Jen Malcom, sports have been a lifelong passion. As a child, she played softball, basketball, volleyball, and did track. She also watched her own parents coach team sports. When she was in college, she learned from their example and started to coach, as well as play. The shift taught her to see the game from a different perspective when she was challenged to explain new things and bring together players in a group that works together well and can rely on one another. This week, she shares tips for building strong teams and supporting players from varying backgrounds. It’s important to have a thick skin, she says, and learn to roll with the punches. You also have to be proud of what you accomplish and put your all into learning and growing with the game. And finally, as a coach, you have to understand how you can impact the lives of the players you work with. Taking responsibility for your potential and accountability for your actions can make all the difference, whether you’re on the court or behind the team.

Where’s Your Break if You’re Competing Every Day?
Many people mistakenly believe that “competing every day” requires you to buy into the hustle & grind, GO-GO-GO culture that says there are no off-days in life. Contrary to that idea, you can’t actually compete at your best unless you learn to rest. “Competing” isn’t about working out daily or grinding in your business 24/7. It’s about working every day to improve on the day before – mentally as much as physically. Be reminded about this important truth to rest & how it allows us to lead better & be at our best for those we serve.

Why Gratitude is Crucial to Performing at Your Best with Dr. Nicole Gabana
Especially in a challenging year like 2020, it can be tough to identify all the things you are grateful for. But the same adversity can also help set the stage for recognizing the good in your life and the support structures that have helped you along the way. This week, Dr. Nicole Gabana talks about the importance of gratitude and why it’s key to performance in both sports and everyday life. Gratitude has the power to positively impact our mental health and happiness, and it’s a skill that can be practiced daily. Gabana says sometimes people get stuck thinking that they have to feel a certain way — especially happy or grateful, or something else — in order to start gratitude practice. But that’s not the case. Spending a little time every evening writing a list of all the good things that happened during the day is enough to get you started. And then, by modeling gratitude for others, you can start to change the culture around you, just by changing yourself. Support the show by using code PODCAST for 15% off at CompeteEveryDay.com!

Using Heartbreak as a Platform to Help Others with Lauren Sisler
For Lauren Sisler, laying the groundwork for better outcomes in life always begins with a single first step. Sometimes we have a choice about when that happens, and sometimes we don’t. But one step is all it takes to head in a new direction. This week, Sisler shares her story of moving from gymnast to broadcast sports reporter and the pivotal moments that led her to where she is today. One of the most critical moments happened when Sisler was a freshman in college. She received a call from her father saying her mother had just died. By the time she got home, her father had passed away, too. After their deaths, she realized that change is a constant and it’s up to each person to decide how and when they start to adapt. Now, she uses her experiences to help others who may be struggling to give or receive support. Support the show by using code PODCAST for 15% off at CompeteEveryDay.com!

What to Do When You're Not Motivated
Motivation will fail you. You will wake up more than once a week without the motivation to do the necessary work to move toward your goals. Most people wait on motivation.

Why Being Mentally Tough is a Daily Choice with Lauren Johnson
For Lauren Johnson, there’s no time like the present. If you want to change your past or build a better future, it all starts today, she says. The decisions you make here and now are the ones that will help or hinder you on a regular basis. This week, Johnson, who is a mental conditioning coordinator for the Yankees, shares her tips for deciding to change, recommitting, and holding yourself accountable. It all starts one choice at a time. “Everything we do exists in the present moment,” she says. “Our mind is the only thing able to exist in all three — past, present, and future.” For that reason, it’s critical to practice the behaviors and mindsets that work in service of your goals. By envisioning the identity you want, you can choose to become it. It may mean being uncomfortable or going outside your comfort zone. It may mean feeling fear or uncertainty. But it’s in those challenges and the way you respond to them that growth happens. Support the show by using code PODCAST for 15% off at CompeteEveryDay.com!

Something Beats Nothing
It's easy to make the excuse that if we aren't motivated, taking a day off is ok. In reality, Champions make sure that every day is the day they take a step forward. It can be one step forward, or it can be ten. But something done every day to move closer to your goals beats doing nothing.

Shift Your Mind with Brian Levenson
For author and podcaster Brian Levenson, one of the most under-appreciated question words is “when.” That’s because knowing when to shift between different mindsets and frameworks is just as critical as the skills it takes to do so. For example, elite performers of all types find success through understanding when it’s time to prepare and when it’s time to perform. Then, they can adapt how they are thinking about each situation to match what they need to achieve in that moment. This week, Levenson returns to the show to discuss his new book and why he chose to focus on mindset shift as a key piece of the process puzzle. For many people, it can be easy to get stuck spending too much time and effort on either preparation or performance. They forget that it’s a combination of the two, along with a healthy dose of practice, that is a recipe for success. It’s crucial for people to take a mental inventory every once in a while and then put the time into making up for whatever they’re not doing enough of.

From Rock Bottom to Rocking Life with Matt Kjell
For Matt Kjell, it’s all about family. Since the start of this year, he’s gotten married and is now expecting a child. But he hasn’t always felt the future looked so bright. Back in 2018, his father received a surprising cancer diagnosis and passed away shortly thereafter. It shook Kjell’s foundations and sent him into a spiral of unhealthy choices. One day, he woke up, looked around, and asked himself a crucial question: Is this what I want my life to look like? His answer was a resounding “no.” This week, Kjell shares his story about finding the path back to health and wellness, and about the importance of family. He had always looked to his father, and his grandfather before that, as examples of what it means to work hard and provide a good life for their kids. Now, Kjell is following in their footsteps and using their drive as motivation in his own life, so he can continue their legacy with the next generation.

One day, he woke up, looked around, and asked himself a crucial question: Is this what I want my life to look like? His answer was a resounding “no.” This week, Kjell shares his story about finding the path back to health and wellness, and about the importance of family. He had always looked to his father, and his grandfather before that, as examples of what it means to work hard and provide a good life for their kids. Now, Kjell is following in their footsteps and using their drive as motivation in his own life, so he can continue their legacy with the next generation.

How do You Create a Culture of Excellence with Colin Cerniglia
Individuals have the power to influence entire organizations. That’s why it’s critical for leaders, coaches, players, and coworkers to invest in personal development and making connections in order to have successful outcomes. This week, Colin Cerniglia, CEO and founder of the Talent 409 Leadership Academy, talks about building a culture of excellence in sports, business, and life, and why digging deeper than surface level is a key component. He draws many of his stories from the cultural shifts of the New York Yankees. Cerniglia has long been a fan of the team, but became interested in the Yankees’ team dynamics and how they’ve changed over time. He explores that history in his new book, which shows that the example set by team leaders can have a profound effect on everyone and on the way the group works together to achieve their goals.

Why Self-Compassion is Key for Greatness with Anna Hennings
“Be curious, not furious.” That was something Anna Hennings’ mother used to tell her growing up. In essence, it means that it’s better to be curious about the mistakes you make, rather than just being angry that you made them. That’s because mistakes are a great way to learn and grow, if you see them as an opportunity, rather than a failure. This saying now serves as a cornerstone of Hennings’ understanding of building a growth mindset and is something she passes on to the people she works with on a daily basis. Hennings is a mental performance coach who predominantly works with volleyball players and more specifically, those transitioning from indoor volleyball to beach volleyball. But while she has a focus area, the lessons she learned in sports and now uses in her practice are applicable throughout life and work, she says. For example, it can be helpful for players to practice self-compassion through self-kindness, understanding common humanity, and mindfulness. But those same skills are invaluable in the workplace and at home for finding ways to continue on the path of personal development and happiness.

Work on Your Game with Dre Baldwin
Dre Baldwin wasn’t always the most talented player on his team. But what he always had was a love of competition, a strong drive to succeed, and a healthy dose of discipline. After a later start to his basketball career, he went on to play professionally overseas and then returned home to start his own business. In the years since he graduated, he’s built a name for himself as an author, speaker, and YouTube role model. This week, Baldwin talks about the power of trusting the process and putting in the work that will lead to success on and off the court. You have to build a strong foundation and push yourself to visualize how you plan on reaching your goals, Baldwin says. One of the ways Baldwin did that in his own life was to focus on who he surrounded himself with. For example, in order to get better at school sports, he played one-on-one with the best players on his team. Even though they usually scored more points, he learned from playing against them regularly. Not only did those games help him build confidence, they helped him learn new skills from people who did them well. By working on strengthening his foundation, he was able to find success in the long-term. Support the show by using code PODCAST for 15% off at CompeteEveryDay.com!

The Uniform of Leadership with Jason Romano
To be a leader is to have the ability to impact other people’s lives. It’s not about the title, the status, or the amount of money you make; it’s about being a positive influence on those around you. That’s why it doesn’t just appear in the boardroom. There are leaders everywhere — even in the most unexpected places. This week, podcast host and author Jason Romano talks about the importance of servant leadership and how understanding people’s unique value makes a better team. He shares personal stories of his time working at ESPN as a talent producer and in other roles. One of his most pivotal moments came when a job he wanted went to the other finalist instead of him. It was a moment that underscored the importance of humility and of supporting others in success. It was also a chance to see disappointment as a path to new opportunity, which he has carried with him ever since. Support the show by using code PODCAST for 15% off at CompeteEveryDay.com!

Win in the Dark with Lucas Jadin
It can be easy to get stuck in a mental prison where your outlook on life focuses on your fears and insecurities, rather than your potential. It takes self-awareness and a willingness to challenge your inner voice to break free of these internal weights holding you down. This week, author and mental architect Lucas Jadin talks about the power of mental preparation and resiliency and how to commit to unpacking the mental side of life. Too often, people try to fix internal problems with external solutions. While they may provide a temporary distraction, they will never lead to a long-term resolution. That’s why it’s critical to find the root of these problems, so they can be fixed where they start. It means coming to terms with sometimes long-held fears and insecurities, but the payoff is a life that can fill the space left when you are free of limitations.

Investing in Your Future Leadership Skills with Ryan Hawk
For Ryan Hawk, learning the importance of practice and patience came at an early age. When he was 14 and a freshman in high school, he never expected to play on his school’s varsity football team. He spent months training hard and learning from the best. When the first game of the year came around, he was put on the field and ultimately threw the game-winning touchdown pass. Looking back, he realized it was the work he’d put in ahead of time that led to this early success. It was a lesson he took with him when he transitioned away from football after college and into the business world. He sought out mentors and learned from their example. Now, he’s a successful entrepreneur, author, and podcast host who has dedicated his life to sharing his love of learning with others. This week, he talks about the importance of a strong work ethic, investment in the people around you, and why time well spent in advance leads to good outcomes down the road.

Power of Positivity with Jon Gordon
For Jon Gordon, life has been a journey and faith has been at the core of it all. In his early 30s, he entered into a time of questioning and exploration. It led him to read about different religions and types of spirituality and by the time he was in his mid-30s, he decided he wanted to get baptized. Through these varied experiences, Gordon learned to identify his core purpose in life, which he says is crucial for thoughtful decision-making. You have to know what you stand for, know what you’re here to do, and understand your purpose and principles in order to make decisions that align with your goals and priorities. Distractions may try to pull away your focus, so it’s important to let go of thoughts and tasks that don’t support your journey forward. That means picking your battles and your moments to shine. Understand when it’s better not to enter into a debate or when it’s beneficial to voice your opinion. Once you understand the ideals that guide you, the path forward becomes much clearer.

Mayhem Mindset with Jim Hensel
For Jim Hensel, it all came down to one very important conversation. Facing a challenging time with his work and family, he found himself in the car with his uncle one day. His uncle told him it was time to take responsibility for his life and where it had gone. It was the spark that lit the fire for Hensel and set him on the path toward accountability and self-determination. Shortly thereafter, he wrote down his Strength and Honor Code, which he now lives by, and started to work with children. All together, these experiences helped to ground Hensel in what matters, which is a strength he now works with others to develop. He had to understand his purpose and figure out what he actually believed in. Then, he had to find a way to represent those beliefs in a true and authentic manner. And finally, he had to develop his own personal mission statement that would help guide him. By truly owning his place in life and understanding what he wanted to get out of it, he could stop scrambling to figure out what to do next and instead, put his effort into achieving his goals.

Get Your GameFace Ready with Grant Parr
Grant Parr defined himself as an athlete. For years, he played every sport he could; he was a quarterback, ran track and field, played baseball, and more. But when he was in college, an injury threw his life off course. He gave up sports and for decades, avoided walking down memory lane. He wanted to keep the past in the past and not revisit the games he felt he couldn’t play anymore. In his late 30s, he had a hip replacement which led to complications and left him disabled. He ended up in a doctor’s office again, but this time something was different. The doctor told Parr that when he finished his final procedure, he’d be “running into life.” He took months to emotionally and mentally prepare himself for the surgery and when it was over, his first words off the table were, “I’m back.” Now in his 40s, Parr is helping others develop the growth mindset he learned to foster in himself. He’s an author and speaker and someone who doesn’t let challenges get in his way anymore. He shares tips for how to mentally manage the COVID-19 pandemic and find opportunities for creativity and new pursuits by staying present in the moment, even as the future is unpredictable.

Being in the moment means concentrating your effort on whatever you are doing. When you find yourself with your feet in too many places at once, you can lose your grounding. By making sure you go all in on one task at a time — even just for 10 minutes a day — you can do that task to the best of your ability and build routines that will last over time.

What Mentally Strong People Do with Amy Morin
Learning to recognize the things that are holding you back can be a helpful tool step toward making meaningful change in your life. Even if you have 100 good habits that you practice, just a single bad habit can hinder the effectiveness of all the rest. This week, author and psychology professor Amy Morin shares tips for working through challenges and building the mental strength you need to reach your full potential. Morin draws on her own experiences with hardship; they have informed the work she’s done in the years since. When she was in her mid-20s, both her mother and her husband passed away suddenly and unexpectedly. She was left having to find ways to stay mentally strong while also processing her grief.

That led to a blog post which paved the way to her first book, 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do. What You'll Learn: Focus on making change within yourself Allow space for grief Learn to recognize your bad habits Consider seeking coaching or outside help Work to interrupt mental downward spirals Support the show by using code PODCAST for 15% off at CompeteEveryDay.com!

Building Mental Skills for Life with Zach Brandon
There are many things that have become unsettled in our world. Our daily routines have changed and some opportunities we may have had a few months ago have been put on hold, while others have arisen through the changes. This week, Arizona Diamondbacks Mental Skills Coordinator Zach Brandon talks about the benefits of practicing mindfulness and intentionality, and shares ideas on how to return to a centered place even when the storm is at its strongest. It begins with a simple tenet of sports — you have to make sure you’re paying attention to the right thing at the right time. Especially in times of change, it’s important to find a way to pause and take stock of where you are, and then adjust your focus. It doesn’t matter if that change is a large life shift or just the transition from work to home in your everyday routine, there’s value in re-centering before you move to something new. Often, our minds can work against us when we get stuck on what’s happened in the past or worry about what’s to come. By acknowledging and accepting the changes, we can find a way to enter into the new space with intentionality and focus. It doesn’t make the challenges disappear, but it can make them easier to navigate. What You'll Learn: Switch your focus to be more process-oriented Build transition routines into your day Adjust your expectations when you practice a new skill Find a way to center yourself when you need to Practice intentionality in your actions Support the show by using code PODCAST for 15% off at CompeteEveryDay.com!

Building Teams of Significance with Ralph Pim
The realm of sports is ripe for teaching young people and athletes important skills they can use and put to work for the rest of their lives. For coaches, it takes being able to turn words like “character” and “competition” into behaviors and traits that athletes can see and feel. Once those ideas become tangible, they can be learned and developed. This week, author and teacher Dr. Ralph Pim shares ideas for breaking down critical concepts into teachable and adoptable life lessons. Dr. Pim started his career coaching youth sports. Over the years, he worked his way to college coaching and ultimately, to West Point, where he became the director of competitive sports for the entire military academy. At West Point, all cadets are also athletes; it’s a mandate of the school which early on, recognized the benefits of sports experience in building great leaders. Now an international leadership consultant and educator, he’s sharing what he both learned and developed at West Point about shaping athletes into well-rounded and persevering people in all aspects of their lives. What You’ll Learn: Develop self-discipline Turn buzzwords into teachable behaviors Develop good behaviors into great habits Transfer sports lessons to life and work Learn to speak to the heart of players Support the show by grabbing a copy of Compete Every Day's newest book at Book.CompeteEveryDay.com!

When you wake up each morning, your life could unfold in a thousand different and unexpected ways. Each day comes with new challenges, some of which you never could have predicted.

That will open you up to focusing on how things are and learning to live life to the fullest, no matter what happens next.

Stop Doing Nothing with Patrick Allmond
Patrick Allmond is a fan of the phrase, “done is better than perfect.” That’s because actually doing something, even if it’s not done perfectly, is more productive than spending your time worrying it will be wrong.

Allmond says taking a single small step every day is what we have to do to keep moving. Even if our path takes twists and turns along the way, we’ll still get there eventually.

What Battle Are You Fighting with David Burkus
If you want to make real and lasting change in your work environment, you have to start from a place of clarity about your actual situation. You have to understand where you are at relative to your company’s mission and what things are in your control to change for better outcomes. This week, author and speaker David Burkus shares ideas for finding what your team will fight for, and understanding the stakes that show why that fight is necessary. “There is a bad future that will happen and a good future that will happen, and we’re actually in control of that based on how seriously we take it,” Burkus says. Oftentimes, companies talk about the idea of purpose, instead of a fight. While purpose focuses on something positive that teams can work together to create, a fight demonstrates the stakes and gives teams the challenge they need for bonding and motivation. It’s a rallying cry, he says, that brings together every member of the group in service of something greater. What You’ll Learn: Find something for your team to rally around Move from accepting a purpose to understanding the stakes Choose to change Find the connections that lead to opportunity Start from a place of clarity Order David's new audiobook, Pick a Fight, here.

A Blueprint for Your Career Success with Will Baggett
Emotional intelligence is key to living a balanced and healthy life. It means learning to understand and manage your own emotions and the emotions of those around you. It takes introspection and space to get in touch with your own needs and pace. This week, sports management professional, author, and keynote speaker Will Baggett talks about showing up ready to give your best and taking a step back when you need to adjust. Especially during challenging moments — like this one — it can be tempting to fall into easy routines just to get by.

That’s why it’s important to be mindful, and always ask what you could be doing to add value to wherever you’re at at any given point in time. What you put in will shape what you, and others, get out. So, strive for contentment, not complacency, and take opportunities as they come.

Setting Expectations in Fitness & Life with Chase Ingraham
Trying something outside your comfort zone doesn’t mean you’re setting yourself up for failure. It means you’re setting yourself up to learn something new, which is how you improve as an athlete, entrepreneur, and person.

How to Make This Year Your Best Year
You may believe that vision board party is going to help you make this year better than last, but it won’t if you only create the board and then store it away in a drawer, closet, or the back of your car.

In order to make 2020 your best year yet, you must take very specific steps this year. Steps that require intentional action on your part to create the change this year that last year lacked. Your intentional plan of attack must be able to keep you present in the current moment, while continuously building momentum toward your desired outcome. On this week’s new podcast episode, Jake shares the five steps you can take to making this year your best year.

How To Build Your Positive Self-Talk
Many of us struggle with the crucial mental skill of positive self-talk. We talk to ourselves worse than the online trolls could ever imagine doing. But it’s not because we were born without some special talent to be positive. Instead, it’s because we haven’t grown it. Just like building our physical muscles in the gym requires repetition and sometimes, discomfort getting under a heavier weight, we can only build our positive mental skill of self-talk one (sometimes uncomfortable) repetition at a time. On this week's show, I share how the steps you can take to build positive self-talk and make sure your biggest cheerleader lives between your ears instead of your worst enemy.

Mental Performance, Endurance Sports, & How Bad Do You Want It with Matt Fitzgerald
If there’s one thing every athlete understands, it’s that fear can hold you back. When you find yourself avoiding practices or a challenge at work out of fear, make overcoming it your goal. This week, author and endurance athlete Matt Fitzgerald shares his story of developing a growth mindset and using his fear to push him to reach his potential. Fitzgerald says it wasn’t the pressure to succeed that got to him mentally; it was a fear of the suffering it would take to get there. The runs were hard, the races harder, and he had to find a way of shifting how he thought about that path in order to cross the finish line. Instead of having that suffering — his fear — be a means to an end, he made it the goal itself. He decided he would only consider a race or a run successful if he gave it his all and ended on empty. It didn’t matter if he won or lost, just that he tried his hardest. What You’ll Learn: Make overcoming your fear the goal Shake off the bad practices Practice conscious intentionality Have a growth mindset and recognize the value of challenges Win the mental battle first Follow Matt's work on his website: http://mattfitzgerald.org/ Order his book How Bad Do You Want It on Amazon here.

Cody Royle, Thinking Outside the Box
Discovering your own competitive advantage is at the heart of this week’s conversation with author and podcaster Cody Royle. His book, Where Others Won’t: Taking People Innovation from the Locker Room into the Boardroom, delves deep into lessons from teams around the world on leadership theory, group dynamics, and talent optimization. This week, he shares what he’s learned about what both individuals and teams can do to find their niche. Royle says the big takeaway former athletes have going forward to a new career is their sense of self-awareness. Athletes spend much of their time getting feedback from others, be they coaches or fellow players. That helps them understand their strengths and weaknesses and explore what they enjoy doing and what they don’t. That understanding is a critical asset outside the world of sports, as well, and can help a person find their best fit in business or whatever they ultimately pursue. What You’ll Learn: Ask questions to build self-awareness Develop a leadership mentality Synthesize different parts of your personality Identify what you enjoy and what you don’t and push for the right position Think outside the box to create a competitive advantage Learn more about Cody's work here.

Who Cares About Your Haters?
It doesn’t matter how good you are or how great you rise to be, you will always have critics. Some of the best in their profession still had critics – even when their work record was impeccable. Instead of being distracted by what others say and constantly focused on how you can win their approval, invest your time and energy to what matters more: your effort, your actions, & your attitude. Jake busts the myth that you can win that critic’s approval with “good enough” effort, and challenges listeners to stop being distracted by the unimportant and start dialing in on what matters most.

Failures. Setbacks. And What Actually Matters Most.
It's easy to get caught up in the failure. We tend to distract ourselves from what's more important by replaying what happened then. Everyone experiences setbacks - but the mistake 99% of the people you know make is that they get stuck playing the "what if" game with their setback and carrying around the emotional baggage like it's travel luggage.

Coach Randy Jackson: Culture Defeats Strategy
Culture is key, in the locker room and the boardroom. Texas high school football coach Randy Jackson opens up in this week's episode on team-building and co-creating team culture to create a framework both players and coaches buy into. If a group has common goals and speaks the same language both on the field and off, they are primed for success, even if they don’t always win. The way to build that strong culture lies in having a dialogue with players and staff. People are more likely to want to uphold a structure if they feel they’ve been a part of creating it—if they have a stake in it and know why it is how it is. Just telling players why they should be a certain way falls flat, but if they have skin in the game, loyalty and drive follow not far behind.

At Some Point, You Have to Just Do It
Sometimes we have to just do the work. Every big, audacious goal requires an investment from us. Sometimes it requires a large investment of time, like writing a book. Sometimes it requires courage to take the first step into a gym for the first time. And sometimes the goal requires we swallow our pride and start ugly, slow, or inexperienced. The investments are uncomfortable. So instead of doing what we know we need to, we choose easy distractions and create excuses to justify their importance. We sacrifice reaching our true long-term goals for short-term quick-fixes that we talk ourselves into believing matter. You don't need the latest and greatest tools.

Ryan Michler, How to Lead to Succeed at Home & in Life

A Rant About Entitlement Culture
How did we get to this place? A place where people believe they're entitled to reaching their goals and a certain lifestyle because of simply who they are. A place where fans can be racist or offensive simply because they can afford courtside seats. A place where kids expect to start as true freshman - and when they don't, transfer. Most people spend more time complaining about what they believe they *deserve* instead of doing the work required to earn it. I give my thoughts on the rampant entitlement culture - and why Competitors will be the ones to break it.

Speak Your Success with Coach Jonathan Jones
Sometimes it takes another person being invested in you to kickstart your motivation. That’s what happened with this week’s guest, motivational speaker and author Jonathan Jones. He was working a retail job when his boss came to him one day and told him he needed to re-frame his perspective. It was the boost he needed to go back to basics and figure out what he wanted from life and what he needed to do to get it. Now, years later, he’s using what he learned along the way to help fellow millennials (and people who work with them) gear up for success.

How to Compete Every Day For Your Career
Every day is a competition. Except instead of someone lined up across from us on the sports field or the person next to us lifting a barbel, it’s with our ego, our comfort zone, and fear.

Competition is a Daily Mindset
There are a lot of people that believe that competition is bad. They have the perspective that if they're not physically lined up across from someone trying to beat them, then they're not competing. That perspective is wrong. Each of us, every day, are in a competition. And if you don't realize that you're in a competition, how can you ever expect to win? Understand what you're up against. Compete to overcome it. My thoughts on what each of our daily competition looks like - and how to start each morning to make sure you get the leg up on what competes against you.

How to Kill Your Excuses
There are a million excuses that I can whip out of thin air instantaneously. We all can. Because using excuses is easier than doing what we need to get done.

This episode features the four actions I took to curb, and then bury, the excuses I caught myself going back to time and time again.

#43: Why Dreams Are Useless
It's easy to be a dreamer. "Wouldn't it be nice if..." is usually how dreams start. There's zero risk, zero chance of failure, and zero chances of you getting hurt by just dreaming. And there is zero opportunity for you to ever reach that dream by simply dreaming about it. Like a marathoner – the only way you run a marathon is to actually run a marathon. You can think about running at work. You can imagine running at night while lying in bed. But unless you actually put your shoes on the pavement and start moving forward, you aren’t running. You’re still on the sidelines. You just can’t do BIG things in sports - or life - from the sidelines. It’s not possible. In this episode, Jake explores the idea of "Dream big, live bigger" and why its crucial to being a Competitor.

Ashley and Po Bronson’s book, Top Dog: The Science of Winning and Losing, discusses the science of competition and reveals why it’s important to experience defeat — on and off the field.

#36: Real Competition is Me Vs. Me
It's easy to obsess over what everyone else is doing, and it’s even easier to use them as a gauge of where or what you should be. But how engaged are you in your own goals and life? Is it more than the time you spend playing the comparison game? More energy than you put into obsessively and anxiously checking your social media accounts? If you’re honest with yourself, the answers might reveal a truth… You’re the one getting in the way of your success. You have and always will be your biggest competitor. So how do you compete with yourself so you can make progress toward achieving your goals? All you have to do is be better than you were yesterday.

#35: What Do You Mean "Take a Step Back?"
A true competitor is determined to excel, even in the face of adversity. But adversity is much more than upsets, unfortunate events, or other external obstacles. Sometimes it’s our own pride that presents the challenge and holds us back from experiencing true growth. No one wants to go backwards. It feels counterintuitive. Especially when so much effort goes into achieving greatness. But giving yourself the green light to put it in reverse could be exactly what you need to progress forward. Taking a step back isn’t accepting failure or admitting defeat. It’s a way to gain perspective and clarity on challenging situations in your life. A time to reevaluate where to invest your valuable time, effort, and energy. A way to create space so you can tend to what might’ve been overlooked while pursuing success. When stepping back might be the answer, fear and pride are the true adversities. Accept the challenge to overcome them so you can ultimately take ten steps forward toward your long-term success.

#34: Susan Kovacs, The Athlete's Game Changer
“Avoid stress, don’t do anything to physically exert yourself, and if you’re planning on having any children — don’t.” That’s the advice Susan Kovacs’ neurologist gave after diagnosing her with multiple sclerosis in 1985. Not something you want to hear when you’re in your mid-twenties, or at any point in your life at that. Anything she had planned for her future completely shifted. But just as easily as life can shift your plans, so can your mindset. In her mid-fifties, Susan's strength coach asked her to consider a triathlon. It was a dare that would take her well beyond her comfort zone and “the life doctors prescribed her.” Susan explored the true impact that mindset has on our lives and adopted the mantra "my body achieves what my mind believes." With that, she made the physical and mental transition to being actively involved in athletics. Combining her superpowers of research and personal experience, Susan has found her path as a performance mindset coach helping athletes, corporate leaders, sales professionals, and entrepreneurs optimize their performance through mindset mastery.

#33: The Wright Edge
Like so many Americans, Doc Wright wasn’t happy with his job. Fresh out of college, he transitioned into corporate America — spending years in a world he “didn’t really ever quite fit in.” To deal with the stress from work, Doc found relief in woodworking. After taking on a few small projects from friends and local businesses, others took notice of his unique style and creativity. It wasn’t long before he landed a bid with a large home builder company in Texas. Doc saw the opportunity to carve a different path for his future. And he took it. Two and a half months from his first table project, Doc quit his job to start his custom furniture company, The Wright Edge. The business narrowed its focus on crafting big slab live edge wood furniture after Doc noticed a serious gap in the market for it. He’s been fortunate enough not to rely on paid marketing or advertising to generate business. And less than a year out, Doc has already added a business partner and an intern to the roster to keep up with the growing clientele. Here’s Doc’s key insights on making a small business succeed:

#04: Don't Fall for their Movie Trailers
Don’t fall for the movie trailers. I love movies. I love actually going to the movies. The fresh popcorn, the brand-new trailers, and the fact that I can just escape for two hours. But you know the one thing about movie trailers that gets me – the actual trailer. It always gets me to the movie. And think about it, how many bad movie trailers have you seen? Probably none. Maybe one in your lifetime? For the most part, the movie trailers are great. And then you go to the movie, and the movie sucks. Now, how does that relate to you today? I dive into the trap of “movie trailers” and how we can bypass the trap in our lives.

How important is it to have a positive mental image of ourselves? CrossFit. Olympic Weightlifting. Body image issues, what? That’s the story Salt Lake City CrossFit athlete Cassidy Duffield shares in this week’s episode. Growing up as a gymnast, Cassidy has always been a more muscular woman.

As she grew older, Cassidy learned to love her body and the strength she had after joining the CrossFit community. In this conversation, you’ll hear Cassidy’s incredible story, the way she overcame body image challenges, and how to create a compelling vision of your future self.
