What sets a champion apart from the rest? Is it raw talent, unyielding determination, or perhaps a bit of luck? While these factors undoubtedly play a role, there's a less obvious, yet crucial, component to their success: habits. Champions, whether in sports, business, or life, cultivate specific habits that propel them to the top and keep them there.In this episode, Paul is joined by Dana Cavalea, the renowned high-performance coach (most notably of the New York Yankees) and author of "Habits of a Champion."

Play Like A Champion Each And Every Day!It's valid anytime, but particularly during the current time, business leaders must keep their eyes on the proverbial prize.Enter Coach Dana Cavalea, now an executive coach for C-Suite executives, who served as Director of Performance/ Head Performance Coach for the New York Yankees, helping lead the team to a World Series Championship in 2009.In the context of playing like a champion every day, imagine the level of performance that the Coach brought to bear, answering to GM Brian Cashman and the Steinbrenner Family.In this episode, the Coach and I spoke about many things including...Is a coach the right thing for every C-Suite executive?Is every executive coachable and/or willing to be coached?In the same vein, were all of the NY Yankees coachable given the range of skill, salaries, and ego?As an executive coach, what does accountability look like?We spoke about different methods of making a decision. One way is by omission and the other by commission.What is it that holds people back from reaching their full potential?We explored whether the Coach has ever had to fire a client, and why he thinks some give maximum effort while others do not.Much more.In a nutshell, what Coach Dana Cavalea brings to the party for executives is the following...After working with so many clients over the years, I realized the ones that were able to obtain and maintain the highest levels of success were the ones who were truly committed to both the short AND long game....The person that was looking for overnight wins, overnight success, and a quick fix never made it big... (in anything they did)....Sometimes they shot to the top of their game like a rocket... but eventually they ended up falling backwards pretty hard...On the other hand, those who were able to grow year over year both personally and professionally, they understood the Power of Coaching and the Power of Process...You see, it is not a question of whether you CAN or CAN'T do something....It is more of a questions of whether you CAN do something consistently with focus, confidence, and without burning yourself out in an attempt to create greatness...What is Coach Dana Cavalea all about...1. Getting You Started Towards Your Passion & Goals2. Motivating YOU daily with the tools to get after it! 3. Coaching You Towards Your Mission, Vision, and Goals..4. Holding You Accountable so You CAN'T Quit...5.

He also touches on how GM Brian Cashman handled the team meeting during the 2009 season after they lost 10 straight games, which turned the season around, and what other lessons he learned from guys like Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, and Andy Pettite.

What’s one area you’re looking to improve in over the next year? Take his health and fitness to another level 4. What’s popular advice you hear people say that you think is wrong? You can’t be great at everything; you have to figure out what you’re great at and excel in that area. 5. What advice do you have for young coaches who are listening to this? Just because you’re young doesn’t mean you don’t know anything, but just because you’re young and you think you know everything doesn’t mean you do. 6. What’s the darkest moment you experienced professionally and how did you overcome it? He and Joe Girardi had philosophical differences on training and his contract wasn’t renewed after his final season as a result but he knew there would be something else for him afterwards.  Favorite Quotes: “What makes him (Mariano Rivera) tick is he isn’t worrying about public applause and he’s not worried about public opinion. He just focuses on what it is that he was hired to do. And that was to pitch and get hitters out.” “When you work under a guy like Joe Torre, it’s like having a grandfather /mob-boss as your manager.”  “You can have a difficult conversation with a player, but you always have to make that player leave feeling good about themselves, and that’s what Joe (Torre) did a great job of.”  “If you show up with the intent of being successful and being competitive, you have a great chance of being successful because you’re competitive.”

One warm night in Texas Dana Cavalea was a 23-year-old Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach for the one of the greatest organizations in major league sports. During the 7th inning, the starting pitcher suddenly pulled his hamstring, and ended a no hitter start on the mound. The next morning, Dana had a meeting with executives that would change his life. He accepted the position to become the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach for the New York Yankees. Although he was young, Dana had been working with the organization for many years, and even as an intern, he built up relationships with the players. While working for free, Dana knew he had nothing to lose. He would approach players as they entered the weight room and knew that the worst thing someone could say is no and that eventually someone would say yes and give him a chance. Dana admits that when he was starting out, he was underqualified and did not quiet have the science background for the role. However, he built a skill set about a new conditioning concept and used that to gain valuable trust and respect from not only the players, but also other staff members. He used the internship opportunity to show his passion and potential to the organization, which eventually led him to the head role, which he had for 12 years. Throughout his career as a strength and conditioning coach, Dana spent time with some of the world's greatest athletes. Dana learned that champions follow a simple and consistent routine that is paramount in their success. The greatest performers were also relaxed and comfortable in their own skin and were able to always play offensive in their careers and lives. The greatest athletes knew who they were, what they were really good at and what they needed to do in order to remain really good at it. In fact, he changed his way of thinking when he realized it was not how much time you spent at the job, but the productivity level you have while there. He came to realize that everyone's routine may be different, but those who had consistent routines generally outlasted those who were always looking for the next method to improve. To Dana, greatness is defined as showing up every day and being consistent and achieving. As time passes, and you prove that you are achieving consistently, you will be considered great. Dana has used his knowledge and insight from his work to write “Habits of a Champion: Nobody Becomes a Champion by Accident.” In the book, he shares 15 lessons of what it takes to become a champion. Coach Dana Cavalea is now an executive leadership coach and speaker and teaches the philosophies to help make individuals successful in the many facets of their lives.

Champions in professional sports and professional sales have one thing in common: great habits! This week you'll get coached by Dana Cavalea, former strength coach of the World Series Champion New York Yankees and author of Habits of a Champion. Nobody becomes a champion by accident. A coach will share his ideas on how you can perform at your peak to win.

Dana Cavalea spent his career with the New York Yankees Organization as the Director of Strength and Conditioning, training the likes of Jeter, Pettitte, Rivera, and Posada during their greatest years.   Dana wanted to work with the Yankees from a very young age. First, as a player, but later he realized where his passions truly lied: in training, preparing, and coaching others.   He says he manifested a spot in the big leagues, but that doesn't mean he waited for that opportunity to come to him; “Whatever you do, to do well and to be great at it, there's a commitment that goes towards that.”   Today, Dana is a high performance speaker and consultant for Pro Athletes, Entrepreneurs, Business Executives, Workforces, and Universities. He helps implement lifestyle strategies to reduce stress, improve work/life balance, and most importantly, improve daily performance and outcomes; AKA Performance Enhancement.   One of the things that Dana is most outspoken about is that running a business is, in many ways, more difficult than being in pro athletics – and it takes conditioning to achieve peak performance there, too.   Dana's work is based on four principles, or four drivers of performance:   Training your mentality / mindset Training Fueling Recovery   We often think of training as just something you do with your physical body, but it's really more about your mindset. In order to be great at anything, you have to have a great mindset, and “mindset is really about teaching yourself to frame things appropriately, and giving things the appropriate weight that they should have in your life.”   --     Resources: Learn more at https://danacavalea.com/ (DanaCavalea.com) Connect with Dana: Twitter | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube   --   We are brought to you by the Lawton Marketing Group, a full service advertising and design agency serving companies and entrepreneurs at all levels.
