Do you know the one quality that all top performers and athletes have in common? It's the ability to FOCUS. And not just in practice, or when the environment is controlled. It's the ability to FOCUS under what others call "extreme" pressure. It's their ability to engage all 5 of their sense and get it done when it matters most. So how would you rate your ability to focus? Good news for you. It can be developed and the skill can be honed. In this episode, I break down how.  

In this interview, I chat with Mental Conditioning coach and Pioneer Trevor Moawad. Trevor has been on the sideline for 5 of the last 6 bowl games and is a personal coach to big times athletes like Russel Wilson and many more. He breaks down some incredibly powerful distinctions in our talk and speaks about what it really means to condition yourself mentally, how to reach the top of your field, and what makes players like Russell Wilson and Drew Brees so special. This guy has been around for a long time and is literally one of the top 2 or 3 most respected mental coaches in the industry. Listen and take notes!

Have you ever had an injury? How do you handle it? In this episode, I show you some specific things you should do when you are dealing with an injury, and also some very specific things you should NOT do. If you are going to come back from this injury stronger and more durable, you MUST be aggressive and focused. This episode shows you how to do that.

In this episode, I interview 14-year-old best selling author, motivator, entrepreneur and life coach Caleb Maddix. What you will hear in this interview will be nothing like you've heard before. This kid is highly motivated, extremely bright, and absolutely fearless when it comes to success. He has done more in his 14 years of living than most even dream about, and he has no intention of stopping. In our convo, he talks about what holds most people back from achieving the success they want, his philosophy on ENERGY, time and money. He also shares some incredible stories and examples of ways he has been able to succeed at such a young age. Caleb lives and breathes the "I'm Not You" mindset.

What does your body need more than anything? What can you not live without? O2. Oxygen. Air. Most of us don't breathe correctly, and we definitely don't when we are in pressure situations and under stress. This simple breathing exercise will dramatically reduce stress, and help you give your body what it needs most.

What is the mindset of a true SUPERSTAR? How do the best athletes in the word think? In this episode, I break down the #GCODE of the I'm Not You athlete. The #GCode is your belief system, your philosophy, the way you think. Everything you think and believe leads to how you feel. How you feel leads to what you do and how you do it. What you do leads to what you get. If you want to experience different results, you must think and feel like a champion. In this episode, I show you how.

Do you struggle with confidence? Do get down on yourself for making mistakes? Do you wish you could have the confidence of a superstar athlete? In this episode, I show you how to double your confidence with the simple principle of positive reinforcement. You can use the same techniques that dog and dolphins trainers use so that you can increase confidence and get yourself to do the things that you need to do. Confidence is something that can be cultivated, trained and conditioned. Learn how to do that in a simple way in this podcast episode.

In this episode, I share 3 books that I believe every athlete must read, and the same books that changed my life.

I also share some tips on how to incorporate reading into your schedule, and how to make sure you develop the strong habit of reading. 

In this episode, I break down specific ways to dominate in a tryout. I've seen too may athletes work their tails off, only to get mediocre results when it comes to tryout. I don't want that to be you. I want you to be able to show up when it's time, and show these coaches and scouts what you really are made of. In order to do that, you've got to make sure you have these things covered.

In this episode, I show athletes how to strategically and effectively break down each day to get better faster and to set up the next day for maximum success.

How did you feel the last time you had a horrible game or performance? I could bet it wasn't an emotion like "confident", "dominant", or any other positive empowering emotion. If you want to consistently play your best, you've got to get yourself to FEEL the right ways, consistently. In this episode, I show you how to feel any way you'd like, in 60 seconds or less. Yup, it's that easy.

How often do you get frustrated by lack of results? By outside circumstances that seem to be holding you back that are out of your control? What if I told you that this emotion that is the end to most peoples efforts, can serve as FUEL to help you get results, faster?
