Reflect and Refocus 27 - Return To Play From Injury and The Use of MPM Training Nov 04, 2024

In this episode of The Mental Performance Mastery Podcast Reflect & Refocus, Brian discusses what Mental Performance Coaches can do to help their athletes return to play from injury.

In this episode Brian shares 10 ways you can help your athletes during a return to play from injury.

1. Goal Setting for Rehab Progress: Encourage them to set specific, measurable, and realistic goals related to their rehab progress, focusing on what they can control. This keeps them motivated and provides structure.

2. Visualization and Imagery: Teach the athlete to use mental imagery to “rehearse” their sport. Visualizing movements, techniques, and successful performances can help maintain muscle memory and increase mental toughness.

3. Mindfulness and Meditation: Introduce mindfulness techniques to help them stay present and manage the emotional challenges of being injured. It can improve emotional regulation, reduce stress, and improve focus during recovery.

4. Developing Self-Awareness: Use journaling or reflective practices to increase their awareness of their mental and emotional states. This can help them understand their mental habits and areas for growth.

5. Positive Self-Talk: Help the athlete develop a positive internal dialogue, even during challenging times. This reinforces resilience and combats negative thoughts associated with injury.

6. Cognitive Restructuring: Teach them how to reframe negative or unproductive thoughts (e.g., “I’m missing out” to “I’m using this time to build mental strength”). This fosters a growth mindset.

7. Confidence Building: Work on confidence by reviewing past successes, identifying strengths, and setting small, achievable mental goals. This helps them regain belief in their abilities during recovery.

8. Resilience Training: Encourage mental toughness training by discussing setbacks as opportunities for growth. Use adversity stories or case studies from other athletes who’ve overcome injury.

9. Maintaining Team Connection: Encourage them to stay involved with the team, whether by attending practices, engaging with teammates, or taking on a mentorship role. This keeps them connected and mentally engaged.

10. Focus on Skill Development: Work on building mental skills such as focus, concentration, and emotional regulation. Use this time to train these areas, as they will be useful when they return to competition.

Each strategy helps the athlete stay mentally sharp while navigating the psychological challenges of injury recovery.

Brian Cain, MPM, the World’s leader in Mental Performance Coaching brings you practical tips you can use as a mental performance coach to help your athletes close the gap from where they are to where they want to be and to maximize their potential.

Reflect & Refocus 24 - 10 Tips To Improve Your Focus Aug 12, 2024

In this episode of The Mental Performance Mastery Podcast Reflect & Refocus, brought to you by Fundraising University and The Coaching Matters Foundation, Brian discusses everything you need to know about goal setting.

In this podcast, Brian discusses 10 Tips for Improving Focus

1) Set Clear Goals:

Define what you need to accomplish. Break larger tasks into smaller, manageable goals to keep your focus sharp.

2) Eliminate Distractions:

Identify and remove distractions from your environment. Turn off notifications, close unnecessary tabs, and create a dedicated workspace.

3) Practice Mindfulness and Meditation:

Regular mindfulness exercises and meditation can improve concentration by training your brain to stay focused on the present moment.

4) Take Regular Breaks:

Use techniques like the Pomodoro Technique—work for 25 minutes, then take a 5-minute break. This helps maintain high levels of focus and prevents burnout.

5) Prioritize Your Tasks:

Use tools like the Eisenhower Matrix to prioritize tasks based on urgency and importance, ensuring you focus on what truly matters.

6) Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle:

Regular exercise, a balanced diet, and adequate sleep are crucial for maintaining cognitive function and focus.

7) Stay Hydrated:

Dehydration can impair cognitive abilities. Keep a water bottle handy and drink water throughout the day.

8) Use Focus-Enhancing Tools:

Tools like noise-canceling headphones, focus apps, and productivity timers can help you stay on track and minimize interruptions.

9) Practice Single-Tasking:

Focus on one task at a time instead of multitasking. Completing tasks sequentially can improve the quality of your work and enhance concentration.

10) Set a Routine:

Establish a daily routine that includes specific times for work, breaks, and leisure. Consistency can help your brain know when it’s time to focus and when to relax.

By incorporating these tips into your daily life, you can significantly enhance your ability to concentrate and achieve your goals more efficiently. Remember, improving focus is a continuous process that requires patience and practice.

From Non-Drafted To 1st Rd Pick To World Series, The Mental Game of Josh Jung Oct 27, 2023

(This episode is a re-run. Original airdate was May 10, 2021 - In honor of Josh Jung playing in his first World Series game tonight.)

Josh Jung attended Douglas MacArthur High School in San Antonio, Texas where he starred in both baseball and football. Not drafted out of high school in the 2016 MLB draft, he enrolled at Texas Tech University to play college baseball for the Red Raiders.

In 2017, as a freshman at Texas Tech, Jung started all 62 games at third base, batting .306 with six home runs and 43 RBIs. He was named the Big 12 Freshman of the Year and was named a Freshman All-American by multiple outlets including Collegiate Baseball and Perfect Game/Rawlings.

As a sophomore in 2018, Jung once again started all 65 of Texas Tech's games at third base, slashing .392/.491/.639 with 12 home runs and 80 RBIs. He was named to the All-Big 12 First Team, and was once again named an All-American by outlets such as Baseball America and Collegiate Baseball. He played for the USA Baseball Collegiate National Team that summer.

Jung was named a preseason All-American by Perfect Game, Baseball America, D1Baseball.com, and Collegiate Baseball prior to his junior year. During the season, he missed two games due to a quadricep strain, ending his streak of 139 consecutive starts. After returning, he moved to shortstop. He was named the 2019 Big 12 Co-Player of the Year after batting .333 with nine home runs and 49 RBIs through 49 games.

He was named an All-American by Baseball America, D1Baseball.com, Perfect Game, ABCA, and NCBWA. Jung was the recipient of the 2019 Bobby Bragan Collegiate Slugger Award, which honors the top Division I baseball player within Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico and Oklahoma each season.

Jung finished his junior year slashing .343/.474/.636 with 15 home runs and 58 RBIs in 64 games. Considered one of the top prospects for the 2019 MLB draft, he was selected by the Texas Rangers in the first round, with the eighth overall pick.

On July 3, 2019, Jung signed with the Rangers for a $4.4 million signing bonus.

On July 10, 2019, Jung made his professional debut with the Arizona League Rangers of the Rookie-level Arizona League, hitting a home run in his first professional at-bat.

On October 27, 2023, Jung plays in his first ever World Series with the Texas Rangers.

Josh has been a student of the Mental Game of Baseball since he was 11 years old and started with my PRIDE (Personal Responsibility In Daily Excellence) Program. He is as invested into Mental Performance as any athlete I have ever worked with.

In this podcast recorded live in front of close to 500 high school baseball coaches and players we talk about…

The Importance of daily mental performance training
Separating what you do and who you are
The importance of self-talk, perspective and routines
How to overcome the biggest challenges you face in baseball and life
How the mental game helped him go from Non-drafted out of HS to 8th overall

And much much more….

In this live 55min group coaching call, Brian Cain, MPM is joined by Brittany Loney, cognitive performance coach to elite Warriors, to talk about the mindset, routines, and training of elite warriors.

Brittany has a Ph.D. in Educational Psychology and Learning Systems from The Florida State University, an M.A. in Kinesiology with an emphasis on performance psychology from California State University, Fresno, an M.S. in Exercise Science from Florida State University, and a B.S. in Criminal Justice from Texas State University where she was also a NCAA Division 1 basketball player.

Brittany is the director and creator of the Elite Cognition and Human Optimization (ECHO) program at Core One. She has over 18 years of experience training high performers from a vast array of communities, such as elite warriors, Olympic athletes, high-level coaches, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), and C-Suite Executives.

For the past 13+ years, Brittany has been developing and implementing cognitive training programs within the national security and government sectors. She helped develop and taught curriculum for NATO’s Inaugural Mental Performance and Resiliency Course.

Brittany focuses her efforts towards serving those who operate within dynamic high stakes environments where people are a critical capability and human error is a legitimate risk to self or mission.

Her specialty is building, refining, and implementing large-scale performance programs and thrives in environments where the concept of cognitive performance is novel. She routinely consults with an array of personnel, from military to sports to business, to bring about the effective assimilation of cognitive performance principles to advance both individual and organizational effectiveness.

Over her career, Brittany and her team were embedded within highly selective hiring processes and arduous training pipelines. During this time, they refined a 360 degree approach to developing adaptive experts across a multitude of domains. The team worked extensively with trainees, instructors, course planners, and leadership to assimilate deliberate practice principles, adaptability research, and growth cultivation throughout the entire developmental process.

Brittany will share some of the best practices and lessons learned garnered through their integration with some of the nation’s most exceptional training.

Maximum cohesive functioning is a prerequisite for any team to be greater than the sum of its parts. Over the past decade, Brittany and her team were immersed in organizations where their program was leveraged to facilitate desired cultural shifts and organizational end-states.

She will discuss interpersonal adaptability and adjusting communication styles, building unsung hero attributes, and refining team culture, values, systems, and processes to ensure optimal collective performance.

Brittany looks forward to sharing with our community best practices and lessons learned related to training adaptive experts and building cultures that raise the tide.

While proud of her past, Borden says her focus now is on the next generation of athletes: “My goal is to touch the lives of children all across Arizona to help them reach their goals, whatever they may be”.
