Épisode 12
mercredi 15 mai 2019 • Durée 37:10
We can all use a little “tweak” to the habits that make up our lifestyles, especially if we’re interested in optimal performance, endurance, and mastery. Today’s guest has many years’ experience and much wisdom to share, based on what he practices in his own life and how he works with his clients. You don’t want to miss today’s conversation!
Brian Cain is widely regarded as the foremost authority on Mental Performance Mastery Coaching in sports in the US. His client list includes five UFC champions, Olympic medalists, Heisman Trophy winners, and over 100 first round draft selections in professional sports, including the NFL, NHL, and MLB. He’s also coached collegiate national champions. In today’s show, we discuss the evolution of his own high-performance lifestyle, as well as his approach and philosophy. We cover his journey to “walking the walk,” his daily and weekly routine, for competing in triathlons, his sleep routine, and his vision for impacting the most people possible over the next 20 years through his work. Brian has created a new Mental Performance Mastery Coaching Certification, which I will be taking, and you can sign up through the link in our Resources section.

03: Falling and Getting Back Up with Chris Colabello, Part 2
dimanche 26 août 2018 • Durée 25:13
How does it feel to be at your highest high, on top of the world, and then take the biggest fall you could ever imagine? Can you bounce back? Can you find the mental strength to keep going? What if your very character and integrity are called into question? You’ll find answers to these questions and more in this episode.
Chris Colabello is one of the great Cinderella stories. He was undrafted out of Division II college and played 7 years of independent league baseball in Worchester, MA, for the Tornadoes. He made some swing changes with the help of a hitting coach named Bobby Tewksbary, and the two of them began a meteoric rise to the major league level. Chris ended up hitting in the middle of the Blue Jays lineup in the 2015 ALCS, which was one of the best offenses ever. I wanted to have Chris on the show because he is thoughtful, genuine, and about as open-hearted as a pro athlete gets about the mental game, leadership, and the struggles he’s faced and overcome. He’s also from my hometown of Milford, MA, and our dads grew up playing together in high school and college.
Today we pick up right after Chris found out he had tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs (PED’s) and cover the work he is doing today in educating young ballplayers and making his way back to the majors. Join me now for Part 2 of my conversation with Chris.
What you’ll hear in this episode:
When you feel that your ability to prove yourself is very limited and “you are basically screwed.”
How this ripped his life apart and caused him to scrutinize every detail to figure out how he could have ingested any banned substances
Why he went in 5 days early that season for his physical and drug test, never suspecting that he would end up with a positive result
The suspension, the ramifications, and the presumptions from the outside world
The fear that his character and integrity would be questioned
Why he won’t apologize for something he didn’t do and why he doesn’t feel that he deserves this
After his suspension, Chris was optioned down to AAA and did not perform well

01: Mindfulness in Leadership, Education, Sports, and Cancer Recovery with Doug Worthen
mardi 17 juillet 2018 • Durée 58:04
Think back to your high school days. How would your life have been different if Mindfulness was offered as a course? It’s mind-boggling, isn’t it? Believe it or not, there are numerous schools across the country that are seeing the need for this training and offering it as part of the curriculum. Today’s show is about one man who is making mindfulness an integral part of the curriculum at his school, and he’s working to bring it about in other schools across the US.
Doug Worthen is the Director of Mindfulness and Head Boys Lacrosse Coach at Middlesex School, an independent high school in Concord, Massachusetts. He is the first person to hold the title of Director of Mindfulness at a major independent school in the US. He also has an epic life story that he’s never before revealed so fully in an interview. Once upon a time, Doug was on a very different path. He went from being a national champion lacrosse player at the University of Virginia to sailing around the Caribbean for two years with a friend to working in the family business---all of this before a Stage 4 Lymphoma stopped him in his tracks and awakened him to a mindfulness practice.
Relying on this practice is what got him through a very long and difficult recovery and an eventual relapse. That experience set him on a new path to following a dream to teach mindfulness practice at his alma mater and look for ways to help other schools expose their communities to the power of contemplative learning and practice. Doug and I met five years ago when I worked in Contemplative Studies at Brown, and we connected over a shared excitement about combining mindfulness practice and sports. Since then we’ve worked multi-week retreats together on leadership and a few week-long retreats on meditation. He shares his story because he genuinely believes that it can serve people.
What you’ll hear in this episode:
What Doug does as Director of Mindfulness at Middlesex School
How new students are required to take a semester of mindfulness and “are invited to practice in an atmosphere of healthy skepticism”
