Podcast appearances and mentions of evan burk

“Humble Enough to prepare and confident enough to preform.” Today I have the opportunity to learn and discuss the intangibles in athletics, coaching, parenting and life with Coach Evan Burk. Evan was the special teams coach in the NFL for the Miami Dolphins and shares his incredible story about coaching 4th grade football to coaching in the NFL only 6 years later. Coach Even Burk shares some incredible insight on what makes the best athletes and team and how we can use these these intangibles in our everyday life. I personally gained a ton of insight and I'm excited to share as I truly think there are some nuggets of gold here for everyone.

Evan Burk is a Speaker, former NFL Coach, and Podcast Host who uses the sports world as his backdrop to engage audiences with thought-provoking lessons of leadership, team-building, and creating championship cultures. Evan is not your typical football coach. Despite not playing football beyond high school and no network in the coaching profession, Evan's unlikely football journey began as a 4th grade coach, where he quickly worked his way to the NFL in just 6 years, and included coaching for teams such as the Miami Dolphins, UCLA, and SMU. After spending fifteen-plus years working with the highest-performing athletes, coaches, and teams on the planet, Coach Burk uses his unique football coaching background to teach people how to utilize the same strategies in business and life that elite players and teams use to perform at a world-class level. He also hosts his own weekly sports leadership podcast, The Highest Level, where he reveals how championship team cultures are built and the keys to leadership excellence at the highest level. In 2022, Burk released Finding Intangibles, a practical guide that inspires readers to change how they think about peak performance and team building in highly competitive environments. Told through his lens as an NFL coach and noted speaker, the book encourages readers to stop judging people on talent, and instead prioritize character in the talent acquisition process to unleash the true potential of their team.Through an exciting blend of dynamic storytelling and real-life case studies, Finding Intangibles shares Evan Burk's unique perspective and reveals the framework for how organizations can update their approaches to focus on the influences that intangibles have on establishing a strong culture, building winning teams and achieving competitive greatness. About "Finding Intangibles: How to Uncover the Hidden Traits that Drive Elite Performers and Championship Teams"Throughout his NFL and college coaching career, Evan Burk was struck by the glaring absence of focus on intangible characteristics when evaluating elite athletes.While talent is a key piece of winning in any high performance business, it takes more to win at the highest levels than just having talent. It is the unseen traits that end up separating the elite performers. The great teams are always looking to create an edge in everything they do. For years, data was used to help teams gain an advantage. Today, everyone has data. Character is the new competitive advantage for teams.Guest Website:https://www.coachevanburk.com/servicesCheck Out & Order Evan's New Book, "Finding Intangibles." by visiting this link: amzn.to/36hSht2

Rob chats with Evan Burk, a former NFL and college football coach. Coach Burk has spent nearly two decades coaching elite athletes and leaders within top sports organisations to bring teams together, overcome adversity, and elevate high performers to achieve at their highest level. He uses his unique football coaching background to educate and inspire leaders, high performers, and teams for corporate clients and organisations by teaching the principles and practices learned from coaching teams at the highest levels of football.  In 2022, Evan Burk released his first book, Finding Intangibles, in which he helps organisations identify the hidden traits that drive elite performers and championship teams.  Evan is a speaker, author and podcast host educating audiences on leadership, high performance, and culture.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Evan has progressed from a 4th grade football coach, on to a high school coach and onwards to coach at SMU and to the Miami Dolphins and UCLA. He has coached at every level of college football. Evan had to prepare himself and gather knowledge to present as authentic and professional during his experiences as a college coach. Over time the experiences add up and you can combat perceptions of inexperience and ward off effectively any occurrences of imposter syndrome. During his time at the NFL he felt under utilised and became elevated to a much more important role by voicing his dissatisfaction. These lows inform the highs that occur further down the line. “Intangibles” are things like work ethic, drive, being a good teammate, being likeable, passion, high personal standards and other character based immeasurables. Evans main focus is now coaching and developing people out of the sporting arena. He now teaches people to be more resilient and self developing personally and within organisations.    BEST MOMENTS ‘I think when I started at 19 years old I didn't quite understand what the rigorous path would be in accessing these highest levels of college and professional sports.' - Evan   ‘You're saying to me that you are admitting that because of your journey there were people there with a greater depth of technical knowledge of the game than you, but you, by being authentic, brought something else to the table which was genuinely you.' – Rob ‘It can be tough at the moment but I have definitely experienced a lot of those depths as you have said, along the journey.' – Evan ‘All of these unseen traits and I think that a lot of times coaching in particular we overlook these things because they can't be measured.' – Evan ‘People should value previous success over previous experience. This is also true in life and especially the corporate hiring practice.' - Evan   GUEST RESOURCES Podcast: The Highest Level with Evan Burk.

How has Evan Burk developed the intangibles to create the coaching career of his dreams?Humans are results-oriented creatures, plain and simple. Ironically, the most successful people develop the resilience to keep going when the road to achieving their goals is paved with obstacles. Character and mindset are often as important as natural ability when pursuing athletic success.My guest in this episode is Evan Burk, former NFL assistant coach and author of a book entitled, “Finding Intangibles.” Evan started his career coaching 4th graders and within a relatively short period of time went on to coach at Southern Methodist University and with the Miami Dolphins.In Episode 41, Evan talks about how his path to professional coaching started with calculated network building, focusing on the things he could control. Evan wasn't a college athlete, nor did he have friends or family in the coaching profession. Rather, Evan was intent on dominating every day to the best of his ability, understanding that he had to keep going in order to reach his goals.Through a blend of dynamic storytelling and real-life case studies, Finding Intangibles shares Evan's unique perspective while revealing the framework for how organizations can update their approaches to make character a competitive advantage and unleash the true potential of their team.So, what was your biggest takeaway from my conversation with Evan Burk?For me, it's that talent is a minimum requirement for athletic success. There are many athletes with amazing natural abilities. However, intangible characteristics like mindset, heart, and unselfishness ultimately separate the talented from the most accomplished individuals. Evan's philosophy sings to me as a mental performance coach because I am constantly espousing the value of process and controlling the controllables to my clients.My suggestion to young athletes is to think about how to be different. You can set yourself apart from your peers by taking great pride in doing the little things that others may not want to do. Demonstrating infectious energy, effort, and focus will take you a long way toward reaching your goals.I want to thank Evan for his generosity and the wisdom he shared with The Freshman Foundation Community.You can learn more about Evan on his website at https://www.coachevanburk.com/. You can follow Evan on Instagram @coachevanburk. You can find his book Finding Intangibles on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Finding-Intangibles-Uncover-Performers-Championship/dp/B09SFYV3M6/ref=sr_1_1?crid=128ESTP8OD3TX&keywords=finding+intangibles&qid=1656616986&sprefix=finding+intangibles%2Caps%2C54&sr=8-1To learn more about how mental performance coaching can help your mind work FOR you rather than AGAINST you, visit https://michaelvhuber.com.Thank you for listening.
