Listen to one of my live coaching calls where I go through my powerful emotion playbook again. You need to be able to quickly change unproductive emotions if you want to dominate!

What do all high performers have in common? They all know how to manage and master their emotions. If they don't, it's only a matter of time before the pressure exposes them. In order to be the best and to dominate under any circumstance, you have to have the awareness and the tools to understand and shift your emotions when you need to.

Most high performers fold under the lights, they get overwhelmed with anxiety and worry when the results matter most, and it affects not just them but their teammates, their employees, their customers, and everyone involved.

You have to teach yourself to be poised....in this episode I give you an inside look into my live coaching program where I break down the mindset standard that high performers must have and how to create your legitimate recipe for maximum confidence.

The human brain is wired to overvalue the opinions of our peers....it served us back when were roaming the African savanna, but it doesn't serve us as much now. That feeling you get when your friends talk mess about you, when your parents disapprove, or when you miss a shot in a game...That feeling paralyzes many and prevents them from taking risks or doing what is necessary. You cannot be a victim to this disease, you have to learn how to overcome the fear of others opinions...but how?

Although you cannot always relate to the problems of these big name celebrities and superstars, a lot of times it's really easy to see how mentally weak some of them are and how much help they need in terms of developing a more dominate mindset and bulletproof confidence and certainty. I've done something very different in this episode, and I am sure it will rub some of you the wrong way. What I've done is taken Kendall Jenner, and broken down my strategy of how I would work with her if given a chance. I got the chance to see some of her mental weaknesses, and I know how these weaknesses will affect her if not addressed. How many "celebrities" have we seen meltdown and flame out after controversies or adversity? In the episode, I talk directly to Kendall, and give her a few doses of reality along with my prescribed course of action to help her take the game over and be mentally unstoppable. I'll be doing these celebrity reality checks on more athletes and celebrities as they expose their weaknesses to the general public, so stay tuned and give me your feedback. 209 Time Stamps: (2:05) Welcome to the Sports Motivation Podcast (3:35) The Kardashian inspiration (6:19) The celebrity reality check and practical game plan (6:52) The reality of being a celebrity observer (7:43) What we see on tv is not always real (8:25) The celebrity breakdown of Kendall Jenner (10:26) The reality check for Kendall Jenner (10:51) "You should know that people don't like you already" (12:02) Gameplan step #1- Get you aligned (12:38) Create a scouting report (13:39) Establish a vision (15:00) Who do you think you have to be?

As you move more aggressively towards becoming the best, you'll have people who you trust and love start to take you for a joke...maybe they question you, maybe they laugh or mock your goals and visions...Maybe you're even trying to take a friend along with you towards greatness but they don't seem to be responding the way you want.

What are the REAL reasons that you want to accomplish your goals? What are the deepest dark motivators that you don't tell anyone?
