Kevin Wilson: Hitting Is Simple, It's Just Not Easy Apr 10, 2019

Show notes

Our guest this week on The Secrets to Winning is Kevin Wilson, one of the most accomplished and respected hitting coaches in all of baseball. Over the last 15 years, Kevin has coached and mentored a plethora of Major League Baseball players across 22 of the 30 MLB organizations. He is also the author of the #1 best-selling book, Finding Clarity: A Mindful Look Into the Art of Hitting.

So, what separates a Major League hitter from the rest of the crop? They can cut through the mental clutter and figure out WHY they are successful. It's not all about launch angle, exit velocity, and other confusing language. While those things are great and play a small part, you can't take them with you while you are in the box in the bottom of the 9th with the game on the line. That is why your competitive mindset, figuring out who you are, and how you respond under pressure is so important in training.

Excellence Begins With You Apr 03, 2019

Show notes

Every organization, team, and athlete that has reached the pinnacle of success has a system in place to be their formula for success. They do not take workouts off, blow off meetings, or mail it in.

Those that are truly great are excellent in every aspect of what they do, whether a coach sees it, a customer sees it, or a manager sees it. Their excellence is their culture, and they know that if they invest in their excellence, it is reflected in their brand. In fact, excellence becomes their brand.

The Best of The Secrets to Winning: Coaches Edition Mar 27, 2019

Show notes

This week, I wanted to bring back some of the best as we take a deeper dive into the perspective of coaching.

The great thing about this compilation of coaches is that they compete in four different sports, but all of them are successful at the highest level and have been able to coach some of the best athletes in the world.

The lineup looks like this:

Bob Bowman - Head Swimming Coach, Arizona State University Swimming (and US Olympic Coach of Michael Phelps)

Brett Bartholomew - Strength & Conditioning Coach across 23 sportss including Super Bowl winners, World Series champions, and Olympians

Gene Chizik - Former National Champion Head Football Coach, Auburn University

Dana Duckworth - Head Gymnastics Coach, The University of Alabama

They will be the first to tell you this...Coaching isn't easy. It challenges the essence of every single person in the entire organization. One of the biggest frustrations I hear from coaches is "What is it that I need to do to help my athletes win?" Win in life, win in athletics, and find the true competitor within themselves.

Ginger Gilmore-Childress: The Role of Mental Health in the NCAA's Most Elite Program Mar 20, 2019

Show notes

Many elite-level athletes come from a world where they have been nurtured by those around them. I wouldn't go as far as to say they have been protected, but there can be a case made for that.

Then, when they get to the college ranks, they are being put under intense pressure. To perform at the highest level in front of hundreds of thousands in the stands and millions more on television. Mental health has never been a more important subject or a more important hot topic item in athletics than it is today. That is especially the case at a place like The University of Alabama.

Our guest this week on The Secrets to Winning is Ginger Gilmore-Childress, the Director of Behavioral Medicine for The University of Alabama athletics and a pioneer in NCAA athletics. Athletic departments across the country are studying, learning, and trying to emulate what Ginger has built - a gold-standard, groundbreaking department built on the mental well-being of student-athletes.
