Show notes

Most of your peers are victims....and you most likely are, too. Being a "victim" means you act helpless to change your circumstances, and life bullies you into submission everyday. In this episode, I go into depth on why this is, how to know what type of victim you are, and most importantly... how to transform into a boss.

How to Dominate in the Classroom (Throwback) Jan 10, 2020

Show notes

If you're a student, you might have to run this episode back as a new semester approaches... Just because you can ball on the field or court, doesn't mean you'll be able to take those skills and apply them in the classroom. Just like anything else, there is a strategy and mindset that is required to kill it in the classroom and get the grades you need. In my experience, when I wanted to, I was able to crush it in the classroom. In this episode, I break down specifically how I did it.

5 difficult steps to build more toughness and stamina (Throwback) Dec 31, 2019

Show notes

I had a lot of fun recording this, as I made sure to not hold anything back...You may have a difficult time hearing parts of it, but it's the truth as I see it. There are no "easy" steps to become the level of tough you need to be. It's difficult, and that's ok. But you must be aware of how to do it, and you need to be woken up. Tomorrow's the start of a new decade... Get a fresh start and toughen up.

How to train yourself to care less what others think (Throwback) Dec 24, 2019

Show notes

The human brain is wired to overvalue the opinions of our peers....it served us back when we were roaming the African savanna, but it doesn't serve us as much now. That feeling you get when your friends talk mess about you, when your parents disapprove, or when you miss a shot in a game...That feeling paralyzes many and prevents them from taking risks or doing what is necessary. You cannot be a victim to this disease, you have to learn how to overcome the fear of others opinions...but how? How can you practically and systematically build immunity to what stops so many others? In this episode, I show you how I approach this problem. Time Stamps: (1:31) Training on how to care less what others think (2:58) Name one high performer who wasn't motivated... (4:00) Michael Moss: Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us (4:12) Ray Dalio: Principles (4:33) Higher versus lower self (7:36) We all have the same needs and fears (8:23) Step 1: Learn how to breathe (10:18) Mark Divine: Unbeatable Mind and Way of the SEAL (11:26) Step 2: Analyze your goals and your vision (14:25) I answer to King Zeus (15:02) Make yourself a disciple of your vision (16:20) Step 3: Put yourself in more situations where you can be judged (18:16) Remind yourself about how much people really don't care about you (22:03) Opinions that we are afraid of are literally nothing

Up on Game: The Key to "Pliability" (Throwback) Dec 19, 2019

Show notes

Whether you are a current or former athlete, the older you get, the more tight and stiff your body will become, unless you take proactive measures to get it right. In this episode, I share a new tool that I have begun using that has taken my pliability and "limberness" to the next level. I was introduced to this tool through Tom Brady's "TB12 Method" book, and it is quite effective. Take a listen. #UpOnGame
