    Ep. 12 Fear, displaced anger, reckless rage, a loaded gun, fighting, unpacking trauma, therapy, comic books, Nerdz and Hip Hop

    In this episode of The Tap In Podcast, Tiawan Pinkney interviews Joshua Brown, the creator of the General Joshua Comic Book, Founder of Nerds and Hip Hop, co-owner of 951Vibes, screenplay writer and former boxer. Tiawan and Joshua journey through the process of Joshua becoming a boxer, dealing with fear and how his fears and frustrations ultimately transformed into reckless rage and emptiness as Joshua's life began to spiral out of control. Be prepared for an in depth journey into a mindset that has evolved from chaos into creativity and the onset of an incredible legacy, but more importantly, what it has taken Joshua to reach his goals thus far.Tiawan Pinkney has the opportunity to unpack Joshua's past channeling his fears through boxing and channeling his anger into comic books. Joshua's story is one that we can all relate to but it goes beyond that. His story is just a mere intersection of infinite lives on this planet who have sought out different outlets to channel their frustrations and find a way to end the destructive cycle in which they find themselves. By always choosing an outlet rather than allowing one's emotions to become destructive violence leads to the creative rebirth. As life continually unfolds greater truths are revealed to us. Those truths when released from their containers reveal more profound beauty. When you see someone going through their darkest moments and their hardest struggles, that's someone who has the opportunity to become something incredible. Most people are never given the chance to do that. This is far from any motivational speaker nonsense. Instead, this is an honest look at how fear, rage, trauma and more can be used to propel you forward in ways that most people never even come close to experiencing. Tiawan and Joshua discuss 1) coping mechanisms Joshua Brown used when dealing with his emotions, 2) how he confronted and dealt with his own anger, 3) effects of fear, frustration and rage and 4) his decision to turn his life around by continuing to pursue success.Listen in.Follow Tiawan "Ty" Pinkney on Instagram; seach handle @tpelevates.

    EP.10 Watch What You Say - The Power of Words

    In this episode, Ty Pinkney will be exploring the power of words. Words can harm or heal, and they have the power to influence the world around us. So what are you saying? Are you using your words to build up others or tear them down? Are you using your words to spread a message of love or hate?Ty will also be talking about the power of positive self-talk and why it's so important to use positive language when you're talking to yourself or others. He also provides a few tips and tricks for making sure your words are always kinder than usual!You know the old saying: "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me."Well, it's a lie.What if I told you that a single word could change the course of history?Well, it's true. It's happened countless times throughout history, from small things like a quote on Instagram that inspires someone to start their own business to huge events like when Martin Luther King Jr. gave his "I Have a Dream" speech at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom (which helped to inspire the Civil Rights Act).The power of words is something many of us take for granted. We think of them as just tools, but the truth is, words can be used for good or for evil. When you choose your words carefully, you are choosing to use the power of words in a positive way. You're choosing to help people, not hurt them. Your words have the ability to change lives. They can heal and they can harm. We hope this episode inspires you to think about how you use your words: are they the right ones for the situation? Are they helping other people grow, learn, and improve themselves? Or are they simply making things worse? It's time we all started thinking about the power of our words more often and learning how best to use that power for good.Follow Tiawan Pinkney here:https://www.instagram.com/tpelevates/ https://twitter.com/tpelevates

    Ep.9 How to Rebound from a Traumatic Injury like a Boss!

    Almost every athlete encounters the perfect storm. What’s that you ask?First, an injury and second, the process of re-bounding from a traumatic injury. For some, the damage may be so insignificant that they never miss a practice, game or team event. Others may suffer minimal damage, and may only require a day of treatment, three-quarters speed at practice and are lucky enough to be signed off medically to play come game time. On the other hand, there are times when players suffer injuries that take them out of play for extended periods of time; for a season, even out of play completely. The emotional roller coaster that an athlete endures can be one of the most difficult challenges they’ll ever face. Sadly, many fail to navigate the process of effectively recovering and getting back onto the field. The Ego has a way of motivating injured athletes to do too much too soon causing them to make matters worse or re-injure themselves. Some athletes find themselves stuck and unable to accept the fact that life as they’ve known it may never be the same. These same athletes also fail to realize that their lives can in fact take a turn for the best, and flourish.In this episode, Ty shares how he navigated an emotional tsunami after suffering multiple traumatic injuries on the football field, and the internal breakdown he experienced after learning from the doctor that he was destined to lose his right leg. Ty provides intimate details of his experience and the mental warfare he endured, and further lays out a roadmap to help injured athletes express their emotions and overcome their situation to feel motivated, inspired and able to be victorious in their endeavors.Relax, listen and takes notes.

    Ep.8 Get Unstuck

    Everything you've been doing has worked up to this point, but for some reason you find yourself stuck in an unfamiliar place that you've never been or stuck in a mental state that you've only heard about. You've always exceeded the standard, but now the bar has been raised, the standards are high and things have changed in ways you hadn't foreseen. You're no longer meeting the standards set before you. What's changed? You seek understanding to gain clarity, but it doesn't help. You've worked to hard to be in this position, or to not be seated in a particular position. The internal torment in unbearable. You seek validation, but receive none. Your previous areas of greatness are not so great.It's just a brief slump, or is it? Is it them or is it you?How do you get unstuck?What's the process?Where do you begin?Let's dig in...In this episode, Ty addresses being stuck and getting unstuck. Through story telling, providing examples, targeting counter-productive behaviors and the unhealthy mindset of the stuck athlete or NARP (Non-Athletic Regular Person), Ty forges forward to help listeners to redirect there focus on themselves rather than their situation.  There are many reasons that a person can be stuck, but Ty approaches being stuck from his standpoint as a coach, former athlete, athlete-mentor and trainer.Listen in!!!!In you haven't already, check out Episode #7 Invest in Rest, and be sure to subscribe, so you don't miss a single episode, and don't forget to leave a rating and review!  "I've been working with athletes since 1991 in a number of capacities, and have developed them to reach their maximum potential.

    Ep.7 Invest in Rest

    Invest in RestLife can be demanding. We’re frequently pulled in different directions. Some do a really good job of taking time out to rest and recuperate while others struggle. Is rest just one more thing standing in the way of you knocking out another task? How high is rest on your priority list? The load on our lives can be heavy, and your time can be consumed daily activities. If you’re in college or high school, you have class, and if you’re a professional athlete, executive or home-raising-a-child, demand for your time is very high.Maybe you've heard of LeBron James’s $1.5M yearly spend on recovery, Tom Brady’s recovery pajama line, and Serena Williams’ 7pm bedtime. Well, Tom Brady was right, “You can only work as hard as your ability to recover.” To build strength, you need rest. To reach any level of fitness you must build rest and recovery into your plan. Without rest, you become susceptible to injury. Rest enables you to stay mentally sharp and focused. Lack of rest leaves you feeling sluggish and lethargic. In this episode, Ty Pinkney talks about investing in rest, and how getting enough sleep and downtime can help mitigate stress in your life and prevent overwhelming your system by taking guiltless "me" time.Proper rest has a direct correlation to living a happier life, and getting through the day with a clear head and focus. We'll look at work life balance: what it means, why it's important, and how you can start balancing your work and personal lives today. You know your body needs rest. You know your mind needs rest. And, lack of rest takes a toll on your ability to sleep restfully. But how do you make it happen?Rest is important for your body, mind, and soul, and part of a healthy lifestyle. Things like taking more vacations or carving out space for meditation, helps. Investing in rest could save you money; getting enough sleep can help prevent chronic diseases like high blood pressure, diabetes, and depression. In fact, sleeping fewer than six hours per night may increase your risk for all three of these conditions!Just 15 minutes of meditation or light reading can help reduce stress and improve your overall health! Rest can be incredibly beneficial to our mental health.Some of the benefits of rest include:Reduced stress and anxietyImproved moodDecreased blood pressureChronic pain reliefIncreased energy and focusIncreased creativityImproved relationships with othersImproved immune healthstronger cardiovascular systemTy Pinkney's Tips to help you gt the rest you deserve:Tip #1: Set aside time for rest. Add more time in your day for relaxing activities like reading or meditation.Tip #2: Assess what makes you happy and prioritize it over what doesn't. Carve out some "me" time with friends.Tip #3: If all else fails, don't beat yourself up about it! Be kinder to yourself when things don't go according to plan.Tip #4: Unplug yourself from the busyness and chaos of your surrounding world. Turn off your phone or put it on mute. Ignore social media. Be selfish with your time.Tip #5: Learn to Say NO!To watch this episode on Youtube.

    Ep.5 Special Episode for High School Athletes Headed to University or College to Play a Sport

    Each year,  across the nation, a select group of student-athletes pack up their things and journey toward the next phase of their athletic lives; college pre-season training. It's been estimated that about 1 in 57 high school athletes will have the opportunity to play at an NCAA Division 1 program. That's about 2%., Only ab out 7% will have the opportunity to play a varsity, non-intramural sport in college. Those are about 1 in 13 odds. Slightly better, this number offers a clearer picture of how few student-athletes will have the opportunity to pursue  athletics after high school. Transitioning through the levels requires adjusting to change. One of the biggest changes athletes will face jumping from high school to college is meeting the high standards set forth by the  university and its sports program.  Establishing new behaviors and eliminating the old. Letting go of ways of doing things to learn new ways. Adjusting to different coaches approaches, teammates, systems and operations, offenses and defenses are merely a few of the things they'll endure. Competition is intense, and in many cases, the environment is designed to push each athlete out of their comfort zone regardless of their performance level. Quite frankly, the cream will rise to the top. It's easy for freshmen, newbies or rookies to lose their way, or lose sight of the fact that through their hard work and effort they earned an opportunity to perform alongside some of the best athletes in college sports.In this episode, Ty addresses the many classes of high school athletes and others, who are leaving or who have left early for summer or pre-season training that begins prior to the start of the fall semester.  In true form, Ty, speaking both from personal experience as a former NCAA Division 1 athlete, as a coach, and as a father with a daughter who has transitioned from Premier Club Soccer and high school varsity soccer into the ranks of NCAA Division 1 Soccer, and who, as of today is in the midst of pre-season summer training at the university.Ty tackles the uncertainties, performance expectations, meeting such high standards, what to do when it gets rough, why having outside support is critical., adapting to all the newness, self-care, mental health, doing what take to be successful and so much more.

    Ep.4 Self-Defeating Mindset and Self-Destructive Behaviors | Check your BS at the Door and Point a Finger at Yourself

    Everybody around you seems to be having the craziest luck. Opportunities are falling out of the sky and into their lap. At every turn, someone you know is experiencing an upgrade in life. New car, house, relationship, position at work or on the team, pay increase, bonus, recognition or award. All the while, you're frustrated because that same luck seems to keep passing you by.  You need a new car, your relationships are rocky, you hate your boss and the job itself, your pay sucks, you haven't had a merit increase or bonus in as long as you can remember. Not one opportunity has come your way. Or, could there be an alternative answer for what you're experiencing?It's very easy to point the finger away from ourselves as to blame the cause of our problems on others, when in fact the main culprit stares back at us in the mirror.  That pessimist friend or relative that you love who always seems to rise and fall, and afterward, find blame for their situation's demise everywhere but within.  A self-defeatist mindset is tough to  overcome, but with time, it too can be concurred like most others. Take the athlete who complains about not having an opportunity to showcase her/his abilities, and then fails miserably when given the chance, or refuses to even step up. Instead, the athlete goes out of their way to sabotage the opportunity, making way for another grateful athlete to step up. The self-defeatist athlete will then return to bitterness, frustration, resentment and blame.In this episode, Ty discusses the self-defeatist mindset and self-destructive behaviors. He shares stories and provides real examples to illustrate and define for you the perspective from which he is approaching the subject-matter. Not just for athletes,  many have experienced or interacted with a person with self-destructive tendencies and a self-defeatist mindset.  We know people who have sabotaged great situation's both at the onset and in the midst. Ty shares a number of experiences and examples.

    Ep.3 How to build concrete self-confidence when it seems impossible | Athletes & Mental Health

    Learning new things and embracing new experiences can be  an awesome boost to one's self-confidence. Especially, when you share your excitement with others. Overcoming challenges by facing your fears head-on can be empowering, but not when you lack the confidence you need to stand tall, strong and firm amidst the obstacles we face along life’s journey.  How much do you trust yourself? Your decision-making? Your talents, gifts and abilities? Your qualities? Your knowledge and past-experiences? Have you relied on others or placed your trust in others who later violated your trust, left you hanging, or who seriously let you down?  The value we place in others has a direct impact on our confidence. Misplacing such value and trust in another can be detrimental to one's self-confidence, and a serious blow to your self-esteem. Here’s the great news, things don’t have to be this way. Understanding the root cause of your wavering self-confidence and low self-esteem can help you reverse everything.  In this session, Ty Pinkney dives directly into self-confidence without leaving a single stone unturned. Whether you’re an athlete or non-athlete, everybody will benefit from this discussion. Ty shares stories of his own, experiences with others, and takes listeners on a laser sharp journey detailing how to build and fortify  your self-confidence to WIN in every aspect of life.

    Ep.2 Perfectionist Athletes

     Athletes who set expectations so high that they seem unrealistic and unattainable, so much so that even the thought of pursuing such lofty goals create self-doubt, leading to procrastination and avoidance. Perfectionist athletes display high levels of swinging confidence that ultimately diminishes when things begin to fall apart. Avoidance is at the core of many psychological conditions, including perfectionism. In Episode 2, Ty tells the story of how he's battled with perfectionism, and speaks about his experience working to mitigate the harsh realities of perfectionism. He talks about adjusting his mindset over the years, what’s been successful for him, and the challenges he sometimes faces when perfectionism rears its ugly head. Ty shares how he responded and how he works to address it daily. Plus, as someone who's lived with depression, he shares that battle, how he came to terms with it and how be learned to persevere in spite of it. Be sure to subscribe, so you don't miss an episode, and don't forget to leave a rating and review! ***If you're an athlete or want to train like an athlete, grab my books: "The Easiest Fitness Book You’ve Never Read: A Short Guide To Help Boost Your Fitness Journey." Here: https://amzn.to/3NFB9OK and Strength: Over 200 Fitness Strategies and Weight Lifting Routines to Promote Weight Loss and Build Muscular, Strong Bodies. Here: https://amzn.to/3ttjTEl Book Ty to speak at your next event or on your podcast. Connect on IG: https://www.instagram.com/tpelevates/ Connect on Twitter: https://twitter.com/tpelevates

    Ep.1 Athletes & Mental Health

    Life as an athlete can be fun and exciting, but it's also stressful, mentally, emotionally, physically and psychologically demanding, and can be extremely taxing and overwhelming. Athletes spend numerous hours in the gym training their bodies, on the field or court practicing, traveling to games, showcases, tournaments and ID Camps. Standards are high and expectations are higher. Everybody has demands, coaches, teachers, parents, mentors, peers and sponsors; the list is long. Winning overshadows the athlete's mental health and wellness. Sadly, the "perform and win" mentality trumps the welfare of athletes hiding the fact that they're battling depression, a defeatist mindset, an obsessive compulsive personality disorder (OCPD) or perfectionism, low self-esteem, or other psychological issues or disorders. In this episode, Ty Pinkney introduces the podcast by diving directly into the mental health of athletes and those suffering with mental illness.
