Travis Grappo: Going ALL IN to Achieve Success Dec 29, 2022

Show notes

Travis Grappo is a veteran in the restaurant industry, working for some of the most recognizable brands in the country, most notably Fleming's Steakhouse, Outback Steakhouse, and Metro Diner. But his newest venture is the definition of going ALL IN to achieve success.

Travis opened Oak House in late 2021 in the suburbs of Birmingham, Alabama. A Tampa, Florida, native, Travis has been all over the country and acquired tremendous experience working with a "who's who" of individuals. The conglomeration of tastes and flavors can be found on the menu at Oak House.

A former track & field athlete, Travis qualified for the 1996 U.S. Olympic Trials competing in the marathon. He uses his success in athletics to continue to compete at the highest levels in the restaurant industry.

In this episode, Travis and I dive into the courage it took to go out on his own to open a restaurant, his background in the restaurant industry and the famous brands he was worked for, the toll the pandemic took - and is still taking - on the restaurant industry, and taking the competitive excellence instilled in him as an athlete to succeed in this endeavor.

IG Live Rewind With Geno Bonnalie: Going Inside The Ropes With A PGA Tour Caddie Sep 16, 2022

Show notes

PGA Tour caddie Geno Bonnalie has become a bit of a social media star on his own.

Whether it be one of his A+ motel reviews or him describing his on-the-road meal plans, the man knows how to provide quality content without the help of his tour-pro boss, Joel Dahmen.

But Geno is savvy on the bag, as well. I have always said that PGA Tour caddies are just as much psychologists as they are strategists or advisors. In this episode, we talk about Geno's routine, his relationship with his boss, how he prepares himself for a tournament, and so much more. It was truly a great conversation with a bunch of laughs!

IG Live Rewind With Tim Hightower: Never Let Obstacles Stop You From Being Your Best Self Jul 28, 2022

Show notes

On October 23, 2011, Tim Hightower was the starting running back for the Washington Commanders (then known as the Redskins) of the National Football League, when he suffered a torn ACL in his left knee during a game.

Over the next four years, he faced a lengthy recovery in body and soul. The future for which he had worked was changed beyond imagination, but he was determined to return to the game.

Hightower's story of his recovery from injury, as told in A DREAM WORTH FIGHTING FOR: Never Let Obstacles Stop You From Being Your Best Self with co-author William Sachs, will resonate with everybody who has been injured, suffered, or had their lifelong dream derailed. He is the only NFL running back to return to play four years after an injury. His is a story of strength, resilience, faith, courage, and determination – surviving five surgeries, financial challenges, and periods of homelessness.

IG Live Rewind With Eric Cressey: Importance of Preparation, Training, and Specialization in Player Development Jul 25, 2022

Show notes

Every athlete is unique. It's important for each player and their coaches to understand what is unique about each player so that they can get the most production out of him/her.

Our guest on this installment of the IG Live Rewind is renowned sports performance coach Eric Cressey. Like me, Eric is a big believer that there should not be a "cookie-cutter" approach to player development - both from the mental side and from the physical side. How you train, prepare, perform, and have success is unique to you.

IG Live Rewind: 5 Insights From The Open That Can Improve Your Game Jul 19, 2022

Show notes

In this installment of the IG Live Rewind, I am going to talk about my recent trip to The Open Championship at St. Andrews in Scotland. The Open, and more specifically links-style golf, always gives us a great test of our mental games because it is so unique and so different than what we are used to in the U.S.

I'm going to focus on five insights I gained from the last major of the year and share with you some tools on how you can implement those things in your game and in how you compete.

He's led players to PGA Tour wins, Rookie of the Year awards, mini-tour winners, and he's got a booming business in the college ranks.

IG Live Rewind with Scott Fawcett: Golf Strategy, Mental Health, and Success in Life Jun 24, 2022

Show notes

On this episode of The Secrets to Winning: IG Live Rewind, I speak with Scott Fawcett. Scott's golf course-management system DECADE has been sweeping through the competitive golf world over the last few years. In its simplest form, DECADE gives you optimal targets based on your distances, trouble surrounding the hole, and a few other factors.

Scott is also very active on social media, specifically on Twitter, and can be a controversial figure in the golf community. He challenges the "status quo" and utilizes statistics to back a lot of his arguments. The facts are the facts. I have even referred to him as a "disruptor".

But there is a side of Scott that many people aren't aware of. He has dealt with several personal tragedies throughout the years, all pertaining to mental health. All equal parts tragic.

Why Are We Crushing Our Kids' Mental Flexibility? Mar 04, 2022

Show notes

A common question I get from people is, "What does it take to bounce back?" One of the biggest myths in performance is when you experience something negative, you should snap your fingers and it should automatically go away.

We train our athletes by saying, "Just let it go. It doesn't matter. Focus on the next play." As if it is that easy. If you took the time, mental and physical energy, and purpose to give everything you have and put it into that moment, how can you simply "let go?"

In this episode, I talk about why developing mental flexibility is so important for competitors and some tools and strategies you can utilize to develop mental flexibility in your athletes and yourself.
