Mindset Matters

Review of my Book Pure Unadulterated Guts

Hey guys, let’s keep it real today — somebody asked me the other day: ‘What does resilience actually FEEL like?’ And I was thrown off a little bit, because that’s a fantastic and DEEP question.

You’ve just split their attention and tanked their performance. Your athlete should love you the most… but they should listen to their coach the most in competition. Keep your mouth shut or sit in the parking lot. Those are the only two options that don’t hurt the team. Quit telling them “how could anyone miss that play?” That’s the spotlight effect on s
