Sports Motivation Podcast

If you want to set aggressive goals the only way to make things happen is to- immediately after setting the goal- FACE REALITY. Part of the reality is that you aren't nearly as talented, prepared, or skilled enough to reach your goals. And if this reality makes you run for the hills, you don't belong in the jungle. In this episode, I show you how to more fearlessly face your reality so that you can accomplish goals systematically, and certainly. Time Stamps: (1:22) Welcome back to the Jungle Series! (4:14) RULE #2: Boldly face reality. (6:07) You don't have what it takes. (7:00) Don't let you instincts dictate how you view reality. (10:28) Next step: Study the process of getting what you want. (12:06) Next step: Seek advice from qualified people. (14:11) Next step: Ask yourself the tough questions. (15:40) Next step: Evaluate things consistently and systematically.

So many people limit themselves. They set their goals too small and reasonable... why go after something when you could fail, embarrass yourself, and fall flat on your face? This is the code of someone in the Zoo, not the Jungle. In this episode, I show you the first rule, which is about setting big goals, and operating under no limits. By doing this, you not only set yourself up for next level results, but you evolve and grow so much in the process that living by this law becomes a no-brainer. Time Stamps: (1:22) Make sure you listen to part one of the "Jungle Series" (3:00) Your mindset is the most in your control (4:48) Find yourself that power circle (7:00) Create what you want. (8:32) RULE #1: Setting (and claiming) aggressive outcomes, without limits (14:05) Reality: No one knows the future (15:16) Reality: Small goals aren't guaranteed (15:54) Reality: Is "harder" work always the answer? (17:18) Don't let fear prohibit your journey (18:34) The logical breakdown: "What you doing today?" (21:41) The logical breakdown: "What happens when you fail?" (22:56) The logical breakdown: "Why not set that big goal?" (29:14) What is it that you are actually going after?

In the first episode of this podcast series, I break down what it means to be in the jungle, why victimhood will be the death of you, and the reason why I am the way that I am... It's important to understand the motivation behind the I'm Not You movement, because it will be challenging to create the level of results you want, to become a level of great you've always aspired to be. The Jungle can be harsh, and that's why I must teach you in the way that I do. Enjoy. Time Stamps: (1:22) Oh you gave up, huh? (3:34) Victims. (5:18) Don't be a softie that loves sympathy, and complains about everything. (6:14) Backlash from an episode I did: "For the women" [Listen] (8:41) This is the jungle. (12:25) Mary Cain and Nike (18:54) 24 and in the NFL (21:40) We don't complain over here. (24:10) How I was a victim in my childhood.

Belief is everything....and leads to every result you accomplish (or DON'T accomplish). The problem is that most of us approach belief passively, and with no plan.

It is one of the most powerful, effective and fun ways to build belief, increase confidence and reach your goals with more speed and efficiency. This is the 3rd mixtape installment of Mental Reps, and it will have you floating and feeling like you can take over the world.

In this episode, I show you the evidence of victimhood, with a heartfelt call to action to quit it. It's time to burn out all of the weakness, to recreate yourself into a dominant force in you career and life.

I know you're like me.... each day, you're doing something to reach towards your goals and make your reality even better. To improve, grow, and accomplish more... Some days are harder than others. If you're not careful to regulate and monitor your emotions, you can lose your motivation and drive, resulting in lapses in momentum. This video is what I watch and listen to when I am struggling to maintain my drive. Diddy does a lot to keep you upbeat and alert. Check it out... https://youtu.be/ODV_86VLm0E #UpOnGame

If your desire is to be an influencer and lead people to a new reality, you will be challenged... with your past conditioning; people who don't agree; and the resistance of old patterns in those you lead. That's why Nas' lyric in this song hits so close to home. You must take on the attitude of Nas, and be "oblivious to your skeptics". This song is on heavy rotation, take a listen. #BARS

So you've decided to hang up the cleats, the spikes... you're done with your sport... but for some reason you feel depressed. You can't watch your sport, and you find yourself obsessing over all the mistakes you've made, and how it could have been so different. I can relate 100%. The problem is, if you stay there, you're going to only end up feeling more of what you feel now. In this episode, I show you how to (very practically) attack this challenge, and how to use your past to make you better than you've ever been.

On the road to what you ultimately desire, you will be faced with choices... Do I invest, or do I wait? Do I make a move, or do I sit still and continue to grind? It is confusing, and sometimes in our quest to be "wise" and "intelligent', we end up hoarding resources, only to further reinforce the results we don't want, and it prevents us from growing. Nipsey Hussle had a different approach. He didn't spend recklessly, without a plan... and he also didn't sit on his money, waiting for "the promised land". He had a "ball later, and ball now" mentality. In this episode, I break down his philosophy, and show you how this is relevant to you and your process. #BARS

It's all about Control.. but what happens when you can't trust anyone, and your heart turns cold? It's all about people, love and relationships.....but what happens when you begin to rely on others so much that you are addicted to their approval, love and attention? In today's episode, I share with you a beautiful song that illustrates the ultimate self-love mentality. #Bars

"Nature has made up her mind that what cannot defend itself shall not be defended." -Ralph Waldo Emerson Over the past 5 episodes, I have broken down for you the need to take full control over every aspect of your life and career, and the consequences if you don't. You've learned the importance of Self-Reliance, Discipline, Strategy, and controlled Aggression. You've heard from the world's greatest and most dominant high-performers. Tupac. Malcolm X. Arnold Schawarrzengger. Kobe Bryant. Michael Jordan. Tom Brady... But still, you lack clarity. How do you build these qualities and traits in a systematic fashion? How do you gain control? In this episode, I reveal the ultimate system for control, and show you how to take your confidence, clarity, and sense of control to the next level.

Control is the name of the game. One of the biggest reasons why so many lack a sense of control, as they navigate towards their ultimate visions and goals, is lack of aggression. This word gets a bad wrap... but it's a form of energy - a gift to those who know how to create it, and channel it in the right direction. In today's episode of the Control Series, I show you how to develop this mindset with the help of Dame Dash, 50 Cent, Kevin Gates and Diddy.

One of the greatest rappers of all time breaks down the mindset that leads to dropping classics versus being a one-hit wonder. This applies to any high performer and is one of the most difficult things to do. Listen to Nas tell it... #BARS

In the fourth installment of the Control Series, I break down the importance of having a STRATEGY. Most are winging it, and fooling themselves into thinking they are progressing, when all they are doing is checking boxes. You must take on the mindset of the most dominant athletes of all time. Floyd Mayweather. Muhammad Ali. Michael Jordan. Kobe Bryant. Not only were they disciplined, tireless workers; they were strategic. I break down the common mistakes most make, and how to be a true strategic leader to put yourself in the ultimate position of #CONTROL.

"Fatigue makes cowards of us all"..... How disciplined are you? How much control do you have over yourself, your habits, and your routines? How well do you follow through? In this 3rd installment of the Control Series, I break down the importance of having insane levels of discipline, and how to build it systematically. We find inspiration from models of discipline like Tupac, Malcolm X, Kobe Bryant and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Time Stamps: (1:22) DISCIPLINE (7:11) Despise all things that prevent you to act.

Most people love to validate themselves and surround themselves with "yes" men. This will only leave you stuck, frustrated and with an inflated and fragile ego. You must do the opposite, and find people to challenge you and expose the lies you tell yourself. In this episode I break down why, and how.

In this episode, I show you the mindset of billionaire Tom Monaghan, the power of questioning everything, and learning new information with implementation at a fast pace.

In Part 2 of the Control Series, we explore what's at the root of all those truly in control.....Self-Reliance. Self Reliance is the willingness, ability and need, to do things on your OWN. It's the commitment to take full responsibility of your environment, goals, and results. It's difficult to do, and many choose to not to go this route. This cannot be you. In this episode, I give you several examples of true models of control, including Dame Dash, Nipsey Hussle and Young M.A, and how their philosophy leads them to accomplish at high levels.

At least not anymore. You are trying to recreate yourself. And in the midst of you trying to do this, you feel as uncertain, scared and hesitant as ever.

Sometimes when you become a part of a new team, you get off to a bad start. You don't know the plays. You make costly mistakes.

We are taught that pain is bad, and our trauma "shouldn't have happened". What if I told you that your trauma and pain can actually be the things that make you come alive?

You and I are plagued with the same disease.....no matter how hard we work, how much we accomplish, there is still a nagging feeling of "I gotta do more". This is not necessarily a bad thing, but when it causes you to be so hard on yourself that you don't give yourself encouragement, props, and kudos, it begins to eat away at your confidence. You need to learn how to give yourself the right amount of praise without negatively impacting your hunger and drive. In this episode, I break down why. Time Stamps: (1:22) Are you this type of person? Do you have this mindset? (6:28) New mindset: "I am a BEAST" (7:04) New mindset: "I love results" (7:21) New mindset: "My hunger always remains" (7:46) New mindset: "I'll never fully satisfied off a win" (8:12) New mindset: "Comfort should come from knowing I am a killa" (8:42) New mindset: "Failure is an illusion" (9:14) New mindset: "When I fail to hit a result, I am still worthy" (9:35) New mindset: "The more I hunt, the more I kill" (10:10) New mindset: "The bigger targets I set, the bigger results I get" (10:39) Your game plan: Establish your standards.

One of the easiest ways to increase your discipline is by tracking everything that matters. I used to be pretty old school- from printing, to all types of charts, and quickly I realized how overwhelming that can be... That's why in this episode I am introducing you to an app that has absolutely changed the game for me in terms of tracking, and increasing my discipline levels. Search for the "Strides" app (and you'll see a blue logo with white lines). #UpOnGame

In this episode, I break down one of the best intros I've ever heard on a hip hop album. This is a clip from Jeezy's new album "TM104: Legend of the Snowman"... Most people respond to trauma and unfortunate events with a child's mentality, and grieve for too long. Jeezy shows us how to turn pain into powerful action, and instead of being debilitated by the traumata, you become MOTIVATED. Song: "the enTRAPreneur" Artist: Jeezy (featuring Gary Vaynerchuk) Album: TM104: The Legend of the Snowman
