We offer a 14-day free trial because we believe in it so much. Follow the road map, work on your craft, and get 1-on-1 mentoring from me. Let's head off to the podcast. Today, we're talking about criticism in coaching. As a coach, you'll definitely have people who don't like what you do. Right now, I'm in our golf season, and a parent criticized me about the schedule and the clarity of where the JV and varsity should be. Our varsity typically goes out to play meets, and we allow JV players based on available spaces at the course. It's a very fluid situation most of the time. Parents can get frustrated when they don't know where their player is supposed to be. We try to get all the information out in a timely manner based on what we have. Criticism is often fair, and we assume the best intentions from parents. They just want to know the information in a timely manner. A lot of criticism can be managed by over-communicating to parents. Teenagers often don't talk to their parents about what you say. If I have to change something, I communicate that to the parents as well. Over-communicate to take care of it. At any given time, only a few kids are super happy. The 5th player thinks he should be the 2nd player. If you've built relationships, communication, and trust, it's hard for them to hate you because they know you have the best intentions. I tell this in my first parent meeting: I can only play 5 kids. There are 15 on the roster. It's a math problem. I tell coaches to have their players put down how many minutes they think they should play, tally it up, and compare it to the actual minutes. This puts things in perspective. Show this to the parents too. Reality and perception are different things. Parents love their kids and want them to be happy and play. They don't always see the bigger picture. Criticism is part of the game. Have thick skin and be willing to take it. Once the kids leave, parents don't think about you. This is just a point in their lives. Assume criticism comes from a place of concern. It's not personal. Move on from it. Everyone, I hope you enjoy the podcast. Make sure you subscribe and like.

This episode of the Planet LP Podcast, hosted by Ted Asregadoo, delves into the unexpected musical blind spots of even the most accomplished music journalists. Ted is joined by prolific music writer and co-host of The Record Player podcast, Jeff Giles (Popdose, Ultimate Classic Rock, Diffuser FM, Jefitoblog, and Harmonic.fm). The discussion centers on highly-regarded albums that, despite their critical acclaim or widespread popularity, have somehow been overlooked by these experienced listeners. Prepare for candid revelations as Ted and Jeff explore records that often elicit the incredulous response: "Wait, you've NEVER listened to that?!" The episode features a diverse selection of genres and eras. It begins with Gang of Four's Entertainment! (1979), examining its groundbreaking sound and lasting influence on popular music. Next, the focus shifts to Jefferson Airplane's Surrealistic Pillow (1967). While acknowledging its iconic status and memorable tracks, the host shares a surprisingly critical perspective on this San Francisco classic. Finally, the conversation turns to Donna Summer's Bad Girls (1979). The episode explores its commercial success, Grammy recognition, and even an unexpected link to New Order, while posing the question of how such a significant album could have been a "miss" for a dedicated music aficionado. Tune in for an engaging and often surprising exploration of influential albums that, for some, remained undiscovered territory.
The five crowns (1)."They do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown." 1Co 9:25 NKJVIn describing our heavenly rewards, the Bible speaks of crowns. Let's look at each and see what we can learn. The first is the victor's crown. "Everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. Therefore I run thus: not with uncertainty. Thus I fight: not as one who beats the air. But I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified" (vv. 25-27 NKJV). Paul points out that athletes who expect to win must actively train. And we, likewise, must retain self-control even in things that, although not inherently evil, can weaken our devotion to God. A pastor explains: Sometimes we have to turn off the television so we can study our Bibles. We have to get up earlier in the mornings to have our daily devotions. We have to exercise self-control in what comes into our minds. We can't watch many of today's television programs or movies-much less the streaming material accessible on our phones and computers-without violating biblical standards of personal holiness. We can't subject our bodies to drug or alcohol abuse or allow immorality to creep into our relationships. We've got to keep our tempers [and tongues] under the control of the Holy Spirit...and we have to depend on God to strengthen us in our resolutions to live disciplined lives." The Bible says, "Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown"-the victor's crown.The five crowns The victor's crownThe five crowns (2)."What will be our...crown as we stand before our Lord Jesus when he returns? It is you!" 1Th 2:19 NLTThe second crown mentioned in Scripture is the crown of rejoicing. It's given to those who take part in leading others to Christ. The background for this passage is written about in Acts 17, which tells the story of Paul arriving in the city of Thessalonica. He went into the synagogue, "and for three Sabbaths reasoned with them from the Scriptures, explaining...that the Christ had to suffer and rise again from the dead, and saying, 'This Jesus whom I preach to you is the Christ'" (vv. 2-3 NKJV). Some of his hearers were converted, including a great multitude of devout Greeks and a number of prominent women. As a result, a church was built there. Writing to them later, Paul said that they would be his crown when Christ returned. We should all follow Bill Bright's example; he was one of the best soul winners of the twentieth century. And he once disclosed his secret: "Although I have shared Christ personally with many thousands of people through the years, I am a rather reserved person and I do not always find it easy to witness. But I have made this my practice, and l urge you to do the same: Assume that whenever you are alone with another person for more than a few moments, you are there by divine appointment to explain...the love and forgiveness he [or she] can know through faith in Jesus Christ." When was the last time you shared the gospel with someone? Whenever you do, the Lord is fitting you for a crown of rejoicing.The five crowns The crown of rejoicingShare This DevotionalSend us a textSupport the showChanging Lives | Building Strong Family | Impacting Our Community For Jesus Christ!

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Tricia: Hi Dr Cabral - I recently discovered your show about a year ago and I'm so glad I did! You are a wealth of knowledge and I appreciate you helping the community. I'm a 55 year old female diagnosed with spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis and degenerative disc disease since 2017. Basically, I'm in and out of pain a lot. I stay in physical therapy and try to stay as active as possible. I hate taking OTC pain medicines but at time Aleve is the only thing that will get me through. My question is what do you think about taking NAC supplementation to assist my liver. Any advice is appreciated. I eat a very clean whole food based diet to assist with inflammation. I haven't tried your detox yet but have a 21 day supply. I take many of your vitamins. I love them! Thank you in advance. Rachel: Dr. Cabral, NO ONE talks about women with “lean” PCOS… insulin resistance seems to be at the root & center of PCOS but I've been tested & do not have it… I'm around 20% body fat & very muscular. I was on the birth control pill for about 10 years, when I came off I didn't have cycle. It was then we found the follicles on my ovaries & I developed cystic acne. Since then I dialed back my exercise, fed more & after 22 months got my cycle back for the last consecutive 6 months. Do you have any insight or advice for someone in a scenario like mine? Will the follicles ever dissipate back to normal? I am 32 & so concerned about fertility for when I hopefully meet my person. What can I do to optimize… if I was your daughter would you recommend freezing my eggs at this stage, all things considered? Yvonne: Did a search for a previous podcast but didn't find anything about reversing swollen finger joint by right index knuckle. Assume this was the first of an arthritic flare which has subsided but and the swelling went down from what it was but it won't go away completely. Is there a way to return to its normal size or is the damage permanent? Anonymous: Hi Doctor Cabral! Question about a 7 month old baby. She's happy, eats & sleeps well, breast fed, just started some solids, no medical ‘interventions'. She struggles with congestion & her right eye has been irritated since birth. It's almost always watery & boogery. She was born a month early & mom had pretty severe preeclampsia, baby's oxygen was low at birth so she was on oxygen for her 1st 12 hours or so, but quickly recovered on her own. Wondering if there's something that can be done naturally for her breathing & eye. We're not sure what is causing it. Clogged tear duct? Mom & dad eat healthy & live as close to a toxin free life as humanly possible. 1st thoughts are the pets or possible mold, but she doesn't improve when they leave their home for 3-4 day trips. Thoughts? Thanks!! Sarah: Hello!!! Context - Im 28, I've done 7 day detox, HTMA, CBO, heavy metal detox, gut testing about to do hormone testing. I take your DNS, greens, omegas, zinc, b complex, magnesium, digestive enzymes. I dry brush, sauna, weight training, lots of walking, daily breath work etc. I feel like my stress is the lowest it's been and yet I still experience debilitating fatigue that can last for few days/weeks where even just walking is a struggle. Could this just be part of the 'healing' process as I know it's not linear. Is there anything else I should look at/do? Sometimes when I'm moving around going on with my day I'm fine but then when I sit down a full load of fatigue hits me. I also notice when I drink coffee/green tea I yawn alot. I've experienced this for a few years.

Go get Identity Based Manifesting here:https://freeneville.podia.com/the-state-stacking-formulaIdentity-Based Manifesting vs. Good IntentionsHe said…He had a good intention….You know where this is going already, don't you.Good intentions sound nice.They feel polite.They keep you stuck.“I intend to eat better.”“I intend to build my business and make some money.”“I intend to finally - well someday - and struggle towards…….”Have you noticed…It's all fluff.Intentions are mental.Intentions live in the land of maybe.They come with a built-in escape hatch:“Well, I meant to…”“But I haven't - again.”But living from - the LEVEL OF IDENTITY…That's a whole different animal.We're talking about ESSENCE ACTIVATION here…Identity doesn't say “I intend to…”IDENTITY reveals in every breath you take…“This is who I am.”Not someday.Not when I get my shit together.Now!Here's the difference in the wild:The guy with a good intention says,“I intend to go to the gym….”The guy living from identity,“Finds himself fit, and enjoyably doing, what fit people enjoy.”On the other hand…The intender is THE GREAT Pretender - hoping and praying.While still feeling foooked inside…Meanwhile…IDENTITY - those who live from IDENTITY ACTIVATED - they find freedom.Listen to them…Because “Intenders” say, “What should I do?” - Because they live in the land of confusion and delusion.On the other hand…Identity Based Manifestors share, “Here's how I live. Join me!”Intenders rely on reminders, goals, mood, and motivation.But when Identity is Activated - you just move. Smooth. Effortless. Elegant. Strong.Neville nailed it.“Assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled.”He didn't say “set a goal.”He didn't say “intend hard enough.”He revealed the POWER of being it.So stop “intending”.Stop trying again and again to be a better version of the old you…That's like putting a new bumper sticker on an old shit buggy.And expecting “real transformation”.Activate Identity.So you can start REALLY being the real you…You will start seeing from THE REAL EYES of that person!And that person only.The one who already is what they've been trying - indending - to become.That's where the magic is.Not in good intentions.In God in you…As you.In Identity-Based-Manifesting!

But it's up to you to find them.Just say “Excuse me” to get their attention, and then ask them a quick qualifying question. That could be your next client or even your biggest client ever! And if you let them walk by, you may miss them – or even worse, your competitor may get them!#2 -- Don't bring ALL your stuff or literatureKeep your booth simple and clean. You don't need samples of all your products or literature.The more options and things you give people to look at they'll get confused.Studies have shown that too many choices cause confusion and lead to a higher percent of people not making a choice.Plus your staff will be more focused as well. They will be able to find what they need and answer questions more quickly.#3 -- Take a selfie with attendeesUse these in your follow up emails to quickly re-connect with the attendee and stand apart from all the other exhibitors they saw!Want more exposure during and after the show? Take a selfie with someone you just had a great conversation with that is qualified. And put it on social media.Tag them and encourage them to share it as well! Can get some great posts, new followers, and get a lot of shares!#4 -- Learn how to END a ConversationYes – you heard me! Learn how to END a conversation.We've all been in those conversations that are going nowhere, or are great but drag on way too long.You need a quick and polite way to end the conversation so you can start talking with someone else! For every person you engage with, there can be multiple people that walk by your booth never to be seen again.So come up with a quick statement that wraps up the conversation.“I don't want to take away any more of your time from seeing other vendors."“Did you get the info you needed?” Then set a follow up if necessary.“I love where this is going. Or This seems to be a great fit, don't you agree? Let's continue the conversation at dinner. Or Next week.”Then teach it to your team! Time is money especially at a trade show!#5 -- Speed is your secret weaponWant more leads or demos or sales? Go faster!It's like the old sales adage – it's all a numbers game. You'll get more results if you do more.And the best way you can do more is to go faster.You just finished up a conversation with an attendee. Engage the very next person you see! Put the power of speed to work! Engage as many people as you can as

It's been a funny old fortnight: Friedrich Merz trips over the doorstep to the chancellor's office, Bärbel Bas buggers the Beamtes, Christian clips a canine, and Germany gets its own little Elon to get rid of all of those distracting human rights and climate laws. Luckily, Germany's soldiers remember to tick the correct boxes on the Are-You-A-Nazi questionnaire. Thank God for those canned Martinis. Assume the position!

What's really happening behind our kids' screens? As parents, it's more important than ever to educate ourselves to the max. We can't assume our kids would “know better” — because when it comes to fast decisions and online pressure, common sense often goes out the window. N*des are being sent and received every single day. And most of us weren't raised with any kind of rulebook for how to handle that — let alone how to help our kids through it. That's why we need to truly understand what's going on so we can parent them through it, not just react to it. Get informed and lead from a place of awareness — not fear.This podcast is presented by The Common Parent. The all-in-one parenting resource you need to for your teens & tweens.

It's no secret that most men want to find love in life and someone they can partner with throughout life. But the reality is that far-fewer men are doing the work required than ever before. And, for those who are actively looking for love, many of them are floundering when it comes to approaching women and building interest that could potentially lead to a long-term relationship. David Meessen is a man who has made it his life's work to help men understand why they struggle and why society, at large, seems to be continually stacking the deck against the type of relationships the men listening to this podcast are looking for. Today we talk about why men seem to be so intimidated in approaching women, the skills (and, they are learnable skills) you can develop to have a more successful dating life, why “Progressive Desensitization” is such a valuable option in love and in life, the alarming statistics around romantic relationships and young men's increasing aversion to them, and how radical honestly (not overly-agreeableness) is what creates attraction.
