New England Wide Receiver, 3x Super Bowl Champion and potential future hall-of-famer Julian Edelman wrote a book, back when he had just 2 rings. And in this book, he detailed exactly why he and the Patriots always seem to be in the big game. You'll be surprised at how simple the reason is. #BOOKSandbars

The film room is where we systematically break down the mindset of the world's most dominant athletes, all the way down to their most recognizable and impactful qualities and traits. Today, we are breaking down the G.O.A.T. of all "goats", Tom Brady, the quarterback of the New England Patriots. He's a 6x Super Bowl Champion, and was overlooked for his entire career. He's the epitome of a mentally dominant athlete. The first quality that makes him unstoppable is his "aggressive humility". Listen as I break it down, using Brady's own words, as well as his peers and coaches. #TheFilmRoom

Today I'm putting you #UpOnGame with a must-have item in my environment...

Don't think twice to buy the book if it's only $10... This book changed my life and in this episode, I explain why.

We are all faced with hard decisions... what should we do? How should we choose? What must be sacrificed? These decisions ultimately lead to our results, so making the "wrong" decision must be avoided. But HOW? In this episode, I break down the criteria you should use for making tough decisions.

There are certain things you can GUARANTEE you will be exposed to on your way to crushing your goals, and if you aren't aware, you may respond to these roadblocks in a way that will further hold you back. In this episode, I show you these roadblocks, and tell you how to knock 'em down.

In this episode I show you a tool I use to allow me to watch sports and movies without being a slave to corny television; burning all sorts of time on horrible shows, and getting abused by these cable companies. #UpOnGame

It's not about how much you make; it's about how much you keep. I know, like me, you've had times when you've gotten paid only for your face to turn pale once you realize how much Uncle Sam took from your check. One of the keys to wealth is minimizing taxes, and growing the money you make, instead of just handing it over to the government. In this episode, I share a book with you that has forever changed the way I look at money. #BOOKSandbars

I get a lot of questions about what I think about college, and the role it plays. Should you go? What should you do if you don't? What do I tell my kids about college? In this episode, I break it down.

There will be no shortage of negative emotions that show up for you on your way to domination.....your job is to recognize it, and proceed with appropriate action. The problem, is that most of the time we listen to the lies of our emotions. In this episode, I break down the signals of these emotions and how you can use anxiety to grow.

I was hesitant to get myself a pair of these, but when I did, I was very pleased. If you're on the fence about copping a pair of these, do it.

Meek Mill has a way of murdering the intro songs on all of his albums, and he did just that on his latest album "Champions". He dropped a bar that made me go crazy... I break it down in today's episode. #booksandBARS

If you've listened to me long enough, you know my favorite book is none other than the 50th Law… Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Best-Selling Author, Robert Greene to the Sports Motivation Podcast! As we discuss topics like literature, 50 Cent's personality and work ethic, and having a purpose, realize that Robert found his true calling at the age of 36. If you think you're late to choosing your ultimate path, you're wrong. Years of DO-ing, will get you to where you need to be. Thanks for tuning in!

There's a certain state of mind that one has to get into, once there's a certain result that has to be accomplished. The process isn't pretty, and it's not about balance; it's about sheer will... and it comes at a cost. Sacrifices will have to be made. It's about dominating at a different level, and few know what that looks like. In this episode, I break down that mindset.

I watch this Steve Jobs clip in the morning, and it always wakes me up and reignites my sense of purpose. #UpOnGame #RIPSteveJobs

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.

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

This man changed my life, and I am sure if you read his book, he will change yours as well. #BOOKSandbars

This is a clip from a Killer Instinct coaching call where a client asked a powerful question... "How do I stay "in control' when I am dealing with things I can't control?" I break this question down in depth. Shoutout to Brad for the Q. #KillerInstinct

A lot of people ask me what I do each morning. In this episode, I break down my entire morning mastery routine, from the time I wake up, at 4:20am to 9:00am...Take a listen. What are the staples of your routine? Drop a comment, let me know.

Today I'm dropping off a gift for the loyal SMP listeners....a custom Pregame visualization track designed to get you to focus and lock in before any training, practice or game-time scenario. Use it religiously, take it seriously, and show up confident on game day. Let's go!

We've all heard of "Think and Grow Rich" from Napoleon Hill...But you've probably never heard of his other classic, "Grow Rich with Peace of Mind", that he wrote when he was in his eighties... Check out the episode on the Sports Motivation Podcast.

At one point, J. Cole was a young rapper that no one heard of, who had some talent...but he knew something that others didn't, and rapped about it often... In this song, I break down his mindset and how I believe it has lead to his current success. #BooksandBARS

All the greatest athletes in the world have routines. Why do you think you should be any different? No more approaching training in a sloppy way; we have to be focused and purposeful. Over the next 2 episodes, I'll be breaking down HOW to do that.

In the last day of Reality Boot Camp, I show you how to take all of the strategies we've learned and put it together into a daily plan. It's crucial for you to put these things into practice...to build the habit of facing reality and making moves in the direction of what you want.

Day 7 of Reality Boot Camp and I lay out the blueprint for how to habitually change your thought patterns. It's simple but requires desire and repetition. Tomorrow, I am going to show you how to put it all together in a game plan.

Today I break down a powerful method for keeping a clear eye, focused on reality. It's the habit of "re-balancing" your emotions. Throughout an average day, several emotions will show up and cloud your judgement, and lead you to make reckless decisions. You have to be able to balance that out, and keep making moves... much like a "chef" while whipping up a four course meal.

When you see things clearly, then notice what you don't like and proceed to sit still.....you will get depressed. You have to be able to create a fluid game plan and strategy that will get you to where you want to go. You've got to be like a war general; be able to see the end game, while being smart and patient enough to craft effective strategies, to overcome any obstacle to win. In this episode, I break down how to develop and master this skill.
