Sports Motivation Podcast By I'm Not You | Mindset | Strategies | Habits | Psychology | Athlete Development | Host Niyi Sobo

This throwback bar is from our 7th Books and Bars episode featuring New Orleans’ own, Currensy. This particular track “Example” from his Pilot Talk album, spoke directly to me after an injury in the NFL put my career in jeopardy. Listen man… When life pulls you somewhere for a reason, don’t hesitate to take the risk. Just like Spitta “shook the dice and rolled,” he also took that step when others would “stay shook and froze”. So GET BUSY… Be an example for the next generation of go-getters. #booksandBARS    

Life will hand you plenty of Ls... but don't throw in the towel. Learn from the loss and get back to practice ASAP.

For my new listeners, I want to formally explain our weekly series (every Thursday), on the Sports Motivation Podcast. The concept is simple: I want to put you "up on game" about as many websites, podcasts, courses, songs, and other resources that I use or have used that have changed the game for me. Shoutout to my big brother Dele for coining the phrase. #UpOnGame

I love Rap, because Rap is the music of the underdog... in this bar, "Killa Cam" highlights this mindset exactly. #booksandBARS

Still waking up late?? If you wake up after 6am, you're leaving money and gains on the table. It's time for you to join the 5am (or earlier) club. In this episode, I show you how.

No more excuses. This is a 2.5 hour, clean, 16 step process for how to set up a master plan for your 2018 goals. If you want to set up some phoney resolutions and continue to have the same type of results in 2018, that's cool. This won't be for you. But for those obsessed with doing what it takes to get everything that you want from your sport and life, this is your solution. People thought I was crazy for laying this out for you in the way that I did, but I'm tired of seeing people struggle with the excuse of not knowing how and not having the money. Now you can lay out a master plan, and not spend a dime. You're welcome, Merry Christmas, and let's get it in 2019. Go to imnotyou.com/dominate2018 to download the playbook and listen to the episode to follow along and set up the plan. 

How often do you drop deuces through the day? If it's less than 3, then you need help. This product I recently found will guarantee that you establish more regularity on the throne, and lead to increased energy and losing pounds. Listen on the Sports Motivation Podcast. #UpOnGame

Mike Epps is one of the funniest dudes alive, so when I saw he wrote a book I had to get it. I was surprised at how tough his life was, and I loved his mindset towards his struggles. He doesn't have a "victim-mentality", he has perspective. Tune in to the Sports Motivation Podcast, and check out Mike's book. #BOOKSandbars

There will be times (especially in the beginning of your pursuit of greatness) where you will have NO results to show for your efforts. Most people lose confidence, and then stop moving with speed. This can't be you. In this episode, I break down how to stay confident even in the face of adversity and lack of results. Listen, and apply. 

This is dedicated to the athletes who like to complain about their coaches, playing time, and politics. This habit positions you to always STAY a victim. And Nature can't protect you. You gotta stop. Listen to this episode to begin your process of becoming a true OWNER, and king/queen of the jungle. 

There will be no era for R&B like the 90's....but I still get excited when a new R&B artist comes along with a smooth sound. This is an album by Tone Stith I stumbled across that is flaaames...check it out! #UpOnGame

This is an unlikely gem from a slept on Bay Area Artist...and he reminded me of what Albert Eistein used to always say about the definition of insanity...check out Philthy Rich's "Exhausted" track.

Fear is real. Everybody is scared. But look through- that doesn't mean it has to stop you. In this episode, I break down 3 of the most common fears I see (and feel myself) and how to eliminate them. It's possible, you gotta know how though. It's 2019... let's move!

Life can be a little unforgiving at times, and we are hit with situations that are all the way out of our control, and the side effect can be depression. I went through a period of about a month (just this year) where I dealt with feelings of depression. In this episode, I show you what actually worked for me, and what I learned about how to handle this crippling emotion. 

I'm no rotten tomatoes movie critic, but if you love comedy, hip-hop, and basketball, you gotta rent "Uncle Drew" if you haven't seen it already. #UpOnGame

You'll get what you want as soon as you have to. Trademark shows that in this bar. #booksandBARS

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. Today's the day - a valuable gift for the select few. Merry Christmas!

What did you get done in 2018? Are you only focused only on WINS? The real gold is in the pain, losses, and failures. And you must develop the habit of actively learning from the things you're going through. I went through a lot this year... Here are 7 lessons I learned the hard way in 2018.

This concept, which was introduced to me by Rory Vaden in his book (with the same title), has literally changed my life. I felt that I must put you up on game, especially for those entrepreneurs with lots of responsibility. #UpOnGame
