Dr. Jack Llewellyn joins Sports ‘N Torts this week for a super informative and entertaining episode. Dr. Jack is a sports psychologist who was the first psychologist to bring his skills and approach to professional athletes – specifically baseball players. Dr. Jack got his start in Major League Baseball after a former student of his invited him to work with the Expos. This allowed Dr. Jack to work with professional athletes on the mental side of the game to complement their physical skills. Ultimately, Dr. Jack was asked by Bobby Cox and the Atlanta Braves to help (at that time) a young pitcher named John Smoltz who was struggling. Working with Dr. Jack jump started Smoltz's career and his continued work with the team helped them on an unprecedented run of success. Dr. Jack tells us all about that experience working with the Braves and other MLB players including Chuck Knoblauch and Paul O'Neil. Dr. Jack's true passion, and current passion, is helping young athletes. As a father of two young athletes, I was specifically interested in what he had to say about the right way to raise children to find success and happiness in sports. Dr. Jack was not short on answers on everything related to how our children can get the most out of their youth sports career and how we should be talking to them during, before and after games. If you are a parent with young children who enjoy sports this is a must listen for you. We talk about proper goal setting and why it is important to lets kids be kids. Dr. Jack is an author of multiple books and a frequent speaker to Fortune 500 Corporations. He talks about how his mental approach system applies to the corporate world as well. Finally, Dr. Jack gives me some tools to overcome those first tee jitters on the golf course and how to better approach 3 foot putts. If you are an athlete, parent of an athlete, like sports, have a job or just want to strengthen your mental approach in life …. This podcast is right for you. You can find out more on Dr. Jack at https://www.allamericanspeakers.com/celebritytalentbios/Jack+Llewellyn/4463 and a simple google search will bring up his books. My favorite is “Get The Mud Out of the Water”. As always, this podcast is powered by the J. Stein Law Firm – a personal injury law firm in Atlanta, GA – www.jsteinlawfirm.com.
In 400-plus episodes of The Dale Jr. Download, guests have brought a lot of Earnhardt stories to the table. But on this week's edition the mold has been broken as Dale Earnhardt Jr. and co-host Mike Davis welcome longtime MLB player, coach and team manager Ned Yost. After being drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in 1974 and playing in the majors for a handful of years, Ned retired during the ‘85 season. When he was at home in Mississippi figuring out his next move in life, he received a call from the Hank Aaron that would change the trajectory of his life forever, inviting him to be a coach for the upcoming pitching prospects of the Atlanta Braves. It was during his time with the Braves organization that he first made the acquaintance of Dale Earnhardt Sr. Ned and friend Jody Davis had made plans to go deer hunting and Davis invited Dale Sr. to come along. Ned and Dale Sr. became fast friends, bonding over their love of hunting and the outdoors and Ned would become a confidant for the Intimidator for years to come. Dale Jr. and Mike pick Ned's brain about the transition from being a player to a coach, and he explains about how his time with Ted Simmons on the Brewers helped teach him the nuts and bolts of the game. When it came time for Ned to try his hand at team management, he leaned on his experiences of working with Bobby Cox, longtime manager of the Braves. And when he needed to turn a losing organization into a winning one, he depended on the lessons he learned from a brief stint of working on Dale Sr.'s race team in ‘94. Ned recalls the instance that occurred during the ‘94 MLB strike, where Dale Sr. invited him to come on the road with his Richard Childress Racing No. 3 team as they chased their seventh championship. While Ned merely worked as a “rehydration engineer”, he gained first person insight into what it takes to win at the highest level. The education came in handy as he went on to win his first World Series title with the Braves the following year as a bullpen coach. Another lesson that Dale Sr. instilled in Ned was that you never leave a winning team for a losing one. Ned explains that during a hunting trip in Texas, Dale Sr. was talking about his ongoing contract negotiations for the following season. When Ned suggested that he drive for his own start-up D.E.I., Dale Sr. explained that they weren't ready to win yet. Ned pondered eventually having to leave the Braves to get his shot at managing a major league team and Dale Sr. implored him to stay put, explaining that winning is everything. The time came for Ned to leave in 2002 when he was made team manager of the Brewers. Ned breaks down the time it takes for a young organization to grow confident in their ability and start winning consistently, about a two-and-a-half-year process. Unfortunately, he was let go by Milwaukee before this concept came to fruition, but he found another opportunity to prove the system when he became manager of the Kansas City Royals in 2010. Ned would have the last laugh, as the Royals would win the ALC Pennant in 2014 and the World Series championship in 2015. The first thing Ned thought of was his old friend and how proud he would be of the persistent road to success.
