How to deal with an obnoxious coach Dec 27, 2016

Show notes

Coaches will run their teams differently than others. Some still believe in the traditional, "yelling coach" method to instill lessons in their players more effectively. If this situation applies to you, you must deal with it the right way. Don't allow discouragement to seep in. Control your play. Fight for YOUR power!

Episode 116 Time Stamps:

(3:11) My experience with coaching, in the NFL

(8:00) Do you have a relatable coach?

(9:50) They rarely receive leadership advice

(10:14) Weak, fragile egos

(11:21) Old-school coaching

(12:13) Handling your coach...

(14:50) Having the right mentality (G-Code)

(15:42) Conflict is not bad; it's necessary

(16:11) A yelling coach doesn't translate to you being a bad player

(16:46) Coaches expect mistakes to happen

(17:15) Mistakes aren't a bad thing

(17:58) Attach meaning to your coach's yelling

(18:36) You will be controlled if you don't apply your unique meaning

(19:50) Life example: Firefighting

(21:55) Anticipate various responses to your actions

(22:18) Decide to play, in spite of anxiety

(22:55) Identify your mistakes

(23:30) Get a training routine for improvement

(26:36) Show respect by simply, listening

(27:12) Approach your coach at the right time

(30:12) Never give them power!

The curse of success (Don't play yourself) Dec 20, 2016

Show notes

I remember Sean Payton reminding the whole squad to keep their eyes on the prize: "Don't eat the cheese!" Success will eat you up before you know it. Pay attention to your character as you approach your biggest milestones... Are you remaining true to yourself, or do you become someone else? Today's episode will remind you of the narrow-focus you must apply, everywhere you go. Don't ever play yourself!

Episode 114 Time Stamps:

(4:47) Thoughts, actions, and lifestyles of a "soft athlete"

(10:27) Would you like to be this person?

(10:48) "Stay awake!"

(12:46) 2: Keep an honest mentor/coach by your side at all times

(13:07) 3: Identify weaknesses that don't appear, right now

(14:51) 4: Frequently and objectively analyze your training routine, for improvement

(15:44) 5: Identify improvements, daily. Keep track!

(16:05) 6: Tell yourself that YOU GOT THE JUICE!

(16:44) 7: Remind yourself of people who had the juice, but lost it

(17:07) 8: Accept all praise, but take it with a grain of salt

(17:40) 9: Eliminate ALL vices!
