Coach John Daly - Coach to Expect Success - Podcasts

“Send Coach John a message”Distractions - everybody has them and some deal with them better than others. I have my good & bad days in dealing with them. Here is a short list of things that might help you.

“Send Coach John a message”WOW ... this one was a tough one to get through. I found this post as it got shared by a friend on social media. I do read many of the things that get passed along and some of them stick with me. This was one of them. Holly Butcher wrote this piece: http://www.samanthawillsfoundation.org/contributors/2018/1/6/holly-butcher-1990-2018 and it had a huge impact on me and many others that read it. I am trying something different with episode by reading it with a little discussion too. I had a difficult time keeping the emotions in check for this one as so many of the things Holly shared hit home for me. I hope they do for you too. Lessons we can hopefully implement into our lives and not wait.. that's been something I've been trying to do for a while in my life. Notice, I said try... I'm not always successful. One of the many, many things that get me up in the morning with plenty to do. I hope you connect with this episode and I hope we can have a little discussion on this topic too. Come on over to my Facebook page and chime in and let's get some discussions going. https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/ and find me on Twitter: @coachtosuccess

“Send Coach John a message”Driving into work - got to thinking about the importance of gratitude again and wow... did it ever make a difference with me and the start of my day. I've figured out - from a lot of different sources - that Gratitude has to be a part of my every day list of things to focus on. It helps me to get into a better mood, get through troubling times where I'm feeling down and not believing in myself. Amazing stuff. Not just for a New Year - but for every day!! Try it, I know it will make a difference for you. Follow me on Twitter: @ooachtosuccess and on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/

Just about everyone has ideas they want to get better at for the new year - I think it's better to have these things going on every day! Doesn't have to be huge things, just little simple changes can have the most difference in our lives. I was listening to a great podcast from Brian Buffini - find it here: https://podcast.brianbuffini.com/lasso-moon-082/?_ga=2.141096176.333738463.1515098136-2093484505.1514997495 This helped me to get excited for working on all the things I have to work on in order to become a better version of me.

“Send Coach John a message”After finishing a book - "Fred 2.0" by Mark Sanborn - I found a couple of things I wanted to share with you. For this episode - Best Always is a thought that Mark always signs his correspondence with along with his signings of his books - first to wish the person well for them to do their best always, but also to remind himself that is what he wants to always give to others. When he doesn't, he not only let's himself down, but also all of those that depend on him too. What a great reminder - to always do our best... love that! Also, a great story about Eric and mowing lawns... the lessons that we all can get from this one. I hope to share more stories from this book and others for not only do I want to share great information that can make a difference with others, but I also want to share with you the simple fact about how important it is to read.

“Send Coach John a message”Reflections came to me this moring to start my week - I think you will find some connections with these. Let me know your thoughts. On FB: Coach To Expect Success and on Twitter: @coachtosuccess

“Send Coach John a message”Faith and Fear - both have the "unknown" quality. We don't know what will happen for sure, its unseen, we have to spend our time, efforts & energies thinking about either one. Jeff Lip shared this quote with me: "Faith and fear require the not knowing aspect. Why not choose faith instead of fear?" - Brent Payne I love the challenge of this - focusing on Faith instead of Fear. We all know that fears are all around us - it's human nature to be fearful. I think it's necessary to have some fear in order to become fearless. What are your thoughts? I know this might be a little uncomfortable to think about... but I know for me, it's more than worth it. :-)

“Send Coach John a message”Great conversation continues with Dr. Jeff Lip - awesome thoughts as he shared lessons he learned over the last week or so. Join us in learning some valuable lessons that Jeff has picked up just living his life.

“Send Coach John a message”Got to see where Jeff calls home as he invited me over today to record a couple of our interviews. What great and fantastic lessons he shares in this 13th edition of our interviews. Sit back and enjoy Jeff sharing some details of how a friend of his really helped him through his dark days - great friendship lessons here for all of us to use in our lives. This is part 1 of 2 interviews at his house.

“Send Coach John a message”Looking back - it's something we can't do too often as there is the fact that we cannot live in the past. But - we can look back to remember things, to remember people and the lessons we learned that helped get us to where we are today. Well, from starting a new school term - I've been able to reflect a little bit as students have asked me questions as part of my get to know them campaign that I start out every new class with. And while answering some of these questions , I had on the movie "A League Of Their Own" - the baseball move about women playing baseball during WWII. Talk about a tear-jerker in a couple of parts along with tons of smiles and laughs.... which is what life is all about... that movie always gets me thinking about my past and how I got to where I am today. Reflecting back and remembering where you came from is something that I think we should never forget. Our past is our best mentor - the value of those lessons that we can always draw back on - those are all so very valuable. Watch that movie - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104694/?ref_=ttsnd_snd_tt and listen to Madonna's song - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WdzR2VKa8A Powerful reflections that can still teach us lessons today. :-) Let me know your thoughts.... either on FB: https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/ or Twitter: @coachtosuccess

“Send Coach John a message”10 Things That Require Zero Talent - these things are items we all can work on and we all probably can use it too. Check this list out and see which of these items you may want to work on. One or all ten, it will help to make things better than none at all.

Always keep in touch - find me on Facebook on my page: https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/ and on Twitter: @coachtosuccess

“Send Coach John a message”Wow - busy couple of days - but busy with some good stuff. One was not really titled GOOD - getting oral surgery? Not a fun thing to sign up for - but necessary to fix a problem and improve. The experience was painful for sure - but the lessons that came out of it were pure gold! The surgeon = top notch, not only at his craft of oral surgery - but the way he also treated me, talked to me, explained things to me, listened to me and the list goes on and on as to the positive experiences with this man. Also, his assistant - talk about a difference maker - this young lady helped me so much, answering questions, taking care of me during the procedure and offering the some of the most valuable words ever: JUST BREATH! She could tell I was getting a little bit worked up (clenching my fists, grabbing my thumb on one hand as I was trying to deal with the pain from the shots to numb my entire top part of my mouth) and she reminded me about the importance to just breath. I have used those 2 words with so many people in getting them to calm down and focus... and I needed to be reminded about it also. The second part of this episode came from other sources - another podcast - Oprah's Supersoul Conversations: the ideas of gratitude, being present, and passion. Great lessons from this one that I shared with our basketball team. The other one about confidence came from a TED talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-HYZv6HzAs with Dr. Ivan Joseph - another great lessons for you to check out and use. Always - leave some thoughts, let's talk about these ideas, share stories, help each other out.

“Send Coach John a message”What a great audit to have done to you! It's one that we all need to do I think - that is take a look around in your life. Are you doing things you want to and need to do? This includes taking an account of the people in your life as well. I watched a quick video by Kim Perell and she was talking about doing a Life Audit on herself. A brilliant concept I think for sure where again, we can find ways of improving ourselves. Check out the video on FB here: https://www.facebook.com/SUCCESSmagazine/videos/10155913834288555/ Good stuff. There also is some other things here... relationships and the importance of them in our lives along with finding passion in our lives too.

“Send Coach John a message”Not only do we want to avoid these types of people (along with not having them around ourselves), but we should also look to avoid being like them. You have to be hones here - we ALL see people like these 5 types (find article here: https://www.success.com/blog/5-toxic-personalities-successful-people-avoid ) These types of people look to cause us to doubt ourselves with anything we want to positively do for ourselves in our lives. Check this out - let me know what you think and if you have any success stories for dealing with people like these. Find me on FB at Coach To Expect Success and on Twitter: @coachtosuccess

Find it here: https://www.success.com/article/8-daily-habits-to-build-your-mental-strength Again, we don't have to look at trying to do all of these at once... but rather just find one or two to get started on. I think that working on any of these, one or more, is something that can bring some great & positive changes in your life. Try it and let me know how it goes... I know I have to try these for sure. Let me know how it's going on my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/ or on Twitter: @coachtosuccess

“Send Coach John a message”What a great weekend - basketball and friends. We had a huge mega scrimmage that we went to this past Saturday & we learned a lot of things that will help us to get better for this season. My wife and I also had a great time with friends that night. These friends are some of the best people that I've had in my life - a few for over 45 years. We had fun, played games, talked, got caught up with each other's lives, just an evening that was great for the soul.

Life should be full of moments of learning new things, meeting new people, and getting more and more inspired to improve all the time.

“Send Coach John a message”Starting over is something that we do probably more often than you think. There are big things to start over with - a job, a marriage, a house, having kids, and other bigtime life events. There are other things that we need to refocus on, start over again and again and these points fit in for that too. Resourcefulness, Resilience, Drive, Patience and Bravery. I know this is a great review for me on the importance of all 5 of these in my life and the fact that I need work on all 5 of these areas. Just think about if you can always look to improve these areas and others throughout your life. Talk about a life full of self-improvement and growth... that would be awesome!! Try just one out... I will be focusing on all of these - but looking at them one at a time... each week I hope to do this for the next 5 weeks. I hope you can do something like that. Let me know how it goes. Find me on Facebook at Coach To Success or on Twitter: @coachtosuccess

“Send Coach John a message”The train keeps moving - even though we are on different train cars and different train tracks... this conversation, teaching, lessons, etc. are going to keep going. Jeff started his new job this past week and with my schedule drastically changing too with basketball starting - we had to find the time to talk... and find it we did. We will continue to look for moments where he and I can sit face to face to talk... as I think that brings our conversations more to life. Sit back and enjoy interview #10 - let's get some discussions going on this.. find me on facebook at Coach To Expect Success and on Twitter : @coachtosuccess

“Send Coach John a message”It is needed, just about every day and you know what??? It's out there for all of us along with the fact that what we do in our lives can help & inspire others. Was driving home from an appointment today and I was listening to John O'Leary's podcast where he was interviewing this lady, Edie Littlefield Sundby and she shared her incredible story - listen to it here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/s5-ep-51-edie-littlefield-sundby/id1166682012?i=1000393397116&mt=2 For me - it was an emotional ride home listening to this as I just loved her passion in her voice and the stories she was sharing were really amazing and had tons of life lessons in them. I also shared a few quick thoughts about Jim Rohn - another example of inspiration. Check out this article here: https://www.success.com/article/rohn-why-personal-development-is-critical-to-success Having the understanding that self-improvement lasts a lifetime!

“Send Coach John a message”A few ingredients into this "success stew" - Passion, purpose & relationships. First of all - saying "see you later" to Dr. Jeff Lip - as he ventures off to a new pathway in his counseling career. We had a get together for him on Friday, for me .. not saying goodbye.. but saying "see you later". Monday will sure different at school without my good friend. But relationships - all of them.. especially work ones, have to have some effort and work that go into them. Especially when purpose and passion connect with them... shared visions are so powerful. Jeff and I have a shared vision about helping others & making a difference with them too. Check out this powerful article: https://www.success.com/blog/4-ways-to-find-passion-and-purpose-in-your-life?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=Post Some great ideas - let's talk anytime about these and others that get you thinking about your success puzzle.

“Send Coach John a message”Owning It is something we all have to do more of. We all need to own more of our lives - our choices, our thoughts, our reactions, in fact it covers everything we have a choice on or control of in our lives. There are 8 Steps to Personal Accountability that I go over here. Find the picture and some more information on my Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/ Each and every one of these 8 statements are so vitally important for us to take a look at improving them for ourselves. In fact, just work on 1 at a time and watch the improvements that happen, the new opportunities that come our way, the new people we get connected with, and the list goes on and on. Would love to have a discussion on this list or anything else you see that means something to you - something that gets you thinking differently than before.

“Send Coach John a message”Our self-talk - it's been described as one of the most important things we can do for ourselves. We are the only ones that can believe in ourselves more than others can... since we are the ones that can do something with that belief.. or the lack there of. Les Brown is right... this is such an important part of success in our lives.. simple belief! Remember - If we don't believe in ourselves & others don't either.... we can end up in a few dark places. Don't do it... plan on finding things in your life to help you reach your success.

“Send Coach John a message”Coach John Wooded had so many success & leadership principles to share with the world. Imagine if he didn't go into teaching? What happens if there was not a bad storm that knocked out power in Minnesota... they couldn't call him and offer the basketball coaching job to him.... UCLA could get a hold of him... and he took that job. Amazing to think of all the different twists and turns in life that affect us.

“Send Coach John a message”Love this... I know now that I must revisit this pyramid of success every year.. to reflect, think about new connections to each of Coach Wooden's terms on this thing. It's amazing that a basketball coach could have this much effect on so many non-basketball people. These terms that he has set up on his Pyramid of Success are pure gold... they help so much in everyday life. Things that are on my mind, things that I'm struggling with - going through this helps me so much. I'm hoping it helps you too.

I remember as a kid seeing this and reading one of his books & really connecting to his teachings about life, leadership, success, coaching, etc. You don't have to be a basketball fan to get something from this all-time great. The points on this pyramid of success is all about life! Sit back and enjoy this episode and a few upcoming shows where we dive into getting better in our lives with the help of a basketball coaching legend!

“Send Coach John a message”People who make an impact on others - a positive one at that. We all have had people in our lives that have done that & hopefully we can be that same difference-making person for others too. Don Munn was one of those people for me and countless others. Don was a student of mine that graduated high school in 2000. He joined the US Army and was killed in action in 2007. Today a group of his friends and family have carried on the tradition of service, difference maker for others, getting along with everyone, etc. - traits that Don had - they are carrying on with having a scholarship in Don's name. They had the 4th annual Munn Fun Run.... a 5K race starting at Lake Shore High School's football stadium & track - running around the surrounding neighborhood - in and around Memorial Park in St. Claire Shores, MI - then finishing back at the high school. So many great people helping out in Don's memory. Namely, another former student of mine and classmate of Don's - Anna VanderMarliere Kuehnlein - she's the driving force behind putting this 5K race on. She's a living example of what Don was all about - and an example for me and all the other people that she knows. Who can you be that person for? Look for them... they are out there and you have it in you to be that difference maker - just like Don Munn was for us. Head on over to my FB page to see some more pictures about who Don Munn was. :-)

“Send Coach John a message”So many times today - I laughed. Mostly at myself - which I find it a heck of lot better than beating myself up. There are so many great things that laughter does for us, from our health, to our relationships, and much more. Try it - find some funny movies or television shows - go out with friends and have fun - anything you can do to help get you laughing. It's worth it - and it's good for you! Try it.

“Send Coach John a message”Dreams - they don't have to be on some huge poster that ranks them according to size for other people - they have to be your dream! The size of it in your heart, soul and mind is all that matters. So much going on in the world today - terror / evil all around us it seems. Las Vegas having a horrible shooting with so many people dead and many, many more injured. Things going on in Europe and so many other parts of the world. Worry, negativity, division, etc., it's a never-ending list of news items that we see every day. I'm here to try and get you to take the emotion and energy that we give to all of these events - the negative ones don't deserve us to give up our dreams due to fear, anger, emotions running out of control. Our dreams deserve us to do all that we can in order to make them a reality. I am looking to use these negative, sad and evil events as motivation to put into improving in every part of my life & that includes me getting closer to making my dreams and goals a reality. I'm under the weather with a bad cold... not feeling up to doing much, but I knew I had to get these thoughts out there.. Hope this helps - find your way over to my FB page: Coach To Expect Success and leave me some thoughts or ideas about this - or anything else you want to talk about. Or on Twitter: @coachtosuccess
