Podcast appearances and mentions of jim afremow

Power off the tee. Power between the ears. 8-time Canadian Long Drive Champion Lisa “Longball” Vlooswyk returns to Next on the Tee to share what years of competing under pressure taught her about generating speed, handling nerves, creating more distance, and bouncing back after a bad swing. Lisa also shares a simple way everyday golfers can create more clubhead speed—without swinging out of their shoes. Then, Dr. Jim Afremow and Emmy-nominated writer Phil White make their Next on the Tee debut to discuss their new book, The Daily Champion's Mind. We dive into building real confidence, embracing pressure, overcoming doubt, resetting after mistakes, avoiding analysis paralysis, and separating who you are from how you performed. Plus, we head to Augusta National to explore the mental challenge of The Masters and what happens when a player realizes, I can actually win this thing. Distance. Confidence. Mental toughness. Gratitude. And, of course, a healthy dose of Vitamin G. It's all on this edition of Next on the Tee—where golf legends live and your game gets better.

What does it take to think like a champion? This book will change how you think about SUCCESS — and your English. AJ's English Book Club starts "The Champion's Mind" by Jim Afremow. Champions don't just train their bodies. They train their MINDS. And that's exactly what this book teaches — the same mental skills used by Olympic athletes, pro sports stars, and peak performers in every field. And here's the connection: these mental skills are EXACTLY what you need to master English. Confidence. Visualization. A growth mindset. Feeding the positive wolf, not the negative one. This is the FUEL that powers your English speaking success. In this episode, we cover Chapters 1 and 2 — and I teach you important English vocabulary from the book along the way. You learn English AND you learn powerful success strategies at the same time. That's the Book Club way.

As usual, there seems to be a lot on my mind throughout the day (and night at times).  I found this simple reminder - simple but not easy to do. From Dr. Jim Afremow (@goldmedalmind) who posted this: “Just win the moment in front of you.”  Again, (a repeated topic) there are so many distractions every day in our lives. More so now than ever before it seems. When we win the moment in front of us - with whatever that might be - good things can happen. We stack more “wins” each day, we have more good days. We pile up more good days, life gets going in a good direction. Notice that it's not about being perfect, it's about being our best. For me, it's a never ending chase and it's something worth working towards for sure. I hope it is for you too.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Most people at some point experience demotivation, where they lack interest and enthusiasm about something that they have once really enjoyed.  This episode #189 is for you if you have reached that point, or if you are experiencing a loss of form or a performance plateau.  Today, I share an approach which is connected to goal-setting and performance profiling and often yields positive outcomes, where athletes frequently feel a lot better about their situation and experience being re-energised as a result. Enjoy! Key Learning Points On performing at your best some great questions to ask yourself include: What do I think about? What emotions do I experience? What will other people notice in my actions and behaviours? Aim to note down 25 qualities that are associated with your best performances, then whittle the list down to the 5 most impactful, that can help you turn around your form or the situation that you find yourself in. Goal setting can be an overwhelming process for some people. Use a SMART approach when creating action plans for the 5 most impactful areas.

The good news is it only takes a few minutes a day, and that with practice, everyone can build a true champion's mind. This is what Jim has seen since his earliest days as a sports psychologist, when he saw the rise of Tom Izzo and Nick Saban at Michigan State.Connection is another “C” of mental toughness that Jim has found is essential to bringing athletes and coaches together as a unit. He then explores how serving others and selflessness are traits common to most great leaders. In contrast, Jim reveals the wedges that can drive people and locker rooms apart and undermine a team's culture, which is another core pillar of team-level mental resilience.   Hear Jim share:·       Why purpose and consistency are the keys to becoming totally committed  ·       How Steve Kerr's core values fueled the Warriors' title runs·       What he learned about teamwork at the San Francisco Giants·       Why you should create a goal card and look at it daily·       Which exercises coaches and players can use to get to know each other betterGet more insights on the mental game from Jim in his classic book The Champions Mind and on Twitter @goldmedalmind.

En el episodio # 186, conversamos con *Sara López*, una mujer risaraldense admirable, que ha conquistado ocho campeonatos mundiales, doce récords mundiales y cinco Guiness récords de tiro con arco. Para los especialistas, con estos logros no solo se ha convertido en una de las mejores del mundo sino en la mejor de la historia de este deporte.Sara es una mujer perseverante, determinada, creativa, amorosa y fuerte. Actualmente, es la mejor atleta de tiro con arco en Colombia y a nivel mundial es, definitivamente, una leyenda. Sara nunca deja de sorprender a su familia, amigos y seguidores. Ella sabe que uno de los retos más grandes en este deporte, y en la vida, es el desarrollo de la fortaleza mental. Esto es lo que ha hecho de ella una campeona de talla mundial, pero también un ejemplo a seguir en otras áreas de su vida.En este episodio Sara nos contó que a los 13 años llegó al tiro con arco porque era el deporte que su hermano practicaba. Le encantó desde el primer momento y rápidamente su entrenador notó en ella un talento excepcional. Tan solo después de 3 meses de entrenamiento logró ganar su primera copa mundial cuando nadie creía en ella.También nos habló sobre varios aspectos que ha tenido que desarrollar en su deporte y cómo esto le ha enseñado a sobrellevar otros retos de la vida. Por ejemplo, ha aprendido a generar bloqueos en momentos de gran tensión para aprovechar únicamente lo que le puede aportar; ha desarrollado la tranquilidad de vivir siempre en el presente y controlar lo que sí está en sus manos; y ha entendido que a veces puede tener malos momentos, pero esto no define lo que puede llegar a ser al final.Los libros recomendados son: la serie de Harry Potter de J. K. Rowling y The champion's mind de Jim Afremow.Cada una de las anécdotas que nos contó Sara están llenas de sabiduría y de lecciones que pueden ser de ayuda para todo aquel que la escuche. Te invito a conocer la historia de Máximo Desempeño de esta deportista increíble que es Sara López.

Dr. J once said, “The key to success is to keep growing in all areas of life – mental, emotional, spiritual, as well as physical.” Yet so often, we focus most of our time and effort on that last one. In working with everyone from college teams like Michigan State and Arizona State to NBA All-Stars and Olympians, sports psychologist Dr. Jim Afremow has developed the 6 Cs of mental toughness.In this first of two parts, he shares that being mentally resilient isn't something we're born with, but is a skill that can be developed just like a fadeaway jumper or step-back dribble. Jim also revealed that old-school notions of coaches making players run until they puke or denying water breaks have nothing to do with real toughness – it's more about staying positive and proactive in the most adverse situations. Listen in to learn from Jim:·       What you can do to build your confidence up to Michael Jordan's level·       How to remain composed when the game is on the line·       Why self-talk is so important and how to develop it·       Which techniques the best players use to keep their concentration·       When it's time to flip the switch before a gameLearn more from Jim by following him on Twitter @goldmedalmind and by reading his latest book, The Leader's Mind.

You Don't Rise to the Occasion, You Sink to…  Continuing our tour through Brian Cain's mental toughness fables, let's talk about another Big Idea from The 10 Pillars of Mental Performance Mastery.   Remember: Brian has coached an INCREDIBLE number of SUPER-ELITE athletes and coaches. Eight UFC Champions. Four Cy Young Winners. MVPs. Olympians, etc, etc., etc.   One of the things he teaches them?   The fact that, as he puts it: “You don't rise to the occasion, you sink to your levels of training and habits.”   Here's how his guide Coach Kenny puts it in the fable.    He tells us: “‘The key is to make your habits so strong and your training so good that when you sink to your worst day, you sink to a level higher than anyone else on their best day,' Coach Kenny said. ‘It's easy to say, hard to do, and only possible if you follow the 10 pillars of mental performance mastery.'”   Then he says: “'Everyone talks about raising the roof. In reality, it's about raising your basement so that you have good bad days and are better on your bad days than most people are on their good days—because you can focus better and have better habits and a more elite mindset. It's really about being the best version of you that you have ever been. It's also about not comparing yourself to anyone else but to where you were yesterday. If you can see progress—be better today than you were yesterday and better tomorrow than you are today—and just keep going baby step by baby step, you will get where you want to be.'”   That's from a great chapter called “You Don't Rise to the Occasion; You Sink to Your Training and Habits.” There's a LOT of wisdom in there that we could talk about for an entire weekend workshop.    For now, let's focus on a few highlights and some parallel wisdom from other brilliant teachers.   First, I think of this +1 on Good Bad Days in which we talk about some wisdom from Jim Afremow's The Champion's Mind. Big Idea? Golfers like Jack Nicklaus and Rory McIlroy know it's all about “playing poorly well.” You can only do that when you have an elite mind.   Then I think of Lanny Bassham and his son Troy who wrote With Winning in Mind and Attainment. In this +1 on Average vs. Elite, we talk about the fact that AVERAGE performers practice something until they can get it right. ELITE performers, on the other hand, practice until they CAN'T GET IT WRONG.   Then there's Josh Waitzkin, the chess prodigy turned martial artist champion. In The Art of Learning, he tells us that we need to make our prior best our new baseline.   What happens when we do all that? We raise the basement.    Our highs are higher AND (!) our LOWS are HIGHER. On our worst days, we're often better than we used to be on our best days.    And that's an incredibly powerful thing.   Here's to raising our basement as we DOMINATE THE DAY and give the world all we've got, Hero.    Day 1. All in. Let's go!   P.S. Lest you think this is just a bunch of peak performance mumbo jumbo, let's remind ourselves of the ancient wisdom from one of the wisest of them all as we make sure we are building our lives on a solid foundation.

In episode 139 of Demystifying Mental Toughness I had the pleasure of speaking to the head of The Newcastle United Foundation, Steve Beharall.  Steve shared his inspiring journey from being a part time football coach to where he is today.  Lessons that he has learned, challenges he's overcome as well as insights into initiatives that the foundation are involved in and what the future holds.  Steve also passes on some advice to the future generation of coaches on opportunities for them. Key Learning Points: Whilst as an academy coach at Newcastle United, I realised that all I wanted was to help kids with football. When I decided to take a different direction in the Newcastle United Foundation I spent the first three years of my time here working closely with my predecessor learning valuable lessons.   Since I started we've gone from 65 to 240 full time staff and 60 sessional staff.  In 2022, we've grown the turnover from £3 million to £6 million and expanded on programs, by 80% in the last three years. Newcastle United Foundation Case Studies NUcastle is an important part of the community and service sector across the North East of England. Whether you're a coach or a leader, relationships have to built on trust, respect and honesty. It's important to be mindful of your mental health.

In this episode, Dr. Jim Afremow, author and co-founder of The Champion's Mind, joins the conversation. Jim begins with a relaxation and awareness practice, and then talks with Keith and guest host Taylor Brown about the roles of mindfulness in his work, inspiring clients to pursue a champion's mindset, recovery from injury, finding balance in youth sport, and the importance of team culture.

In today's episode I introduce the concept of Acceptance Commitment Therapy or Training (ACT) and Mindfulness with co-author of an excellent book on the topic Dr James Hegarty.  In sport it is very easy to get ahead of yourself or dwell on past mistakes impacting on your performance levels.  James and I go on to unpick how ACT and Mindfulness principles and tools can support you in this regard so that you can perform better under pressure.  Enjoy tuning in. Key Takeaways: In psychology a lot of work is focused on capturing unhelpful thoughts and looking to change them, with more helpful and positive thoughts.  Using ACT and Mindfulness is different where I teach people to attend to their thoughts and pay attention to their body.  ACT and Mindfulness can be difficult to get your head around however it is very beneficial, with research backing up it's use in a range of settings. The six core principles of ACT include; acceptance, defusion, connecting with the present moment, the Observing Self, values and committed action. Mindfulness is where you consciously bring your awareness to the present moment and the here and now.  Using ACT and Mindfulness can help you overcome performance anxiety and deal better with nerves. There are simple tools that can help you move on from the inevitable mistakes that we all make in sport. It is a tool that can give you a better chance to find the zone more often.

There is far more to being a successful cyclist than pushing the pedals hard, but you already know that! Although being 'fit' is very important, focusing only on this aspect of performance would leave so much of your potential untapped. Developing an Athletes' Mindset, and what author Jim Afremow calls The Champion's Mind, is one of the most important components of performance that has nothing to do with fitness. That is why we are breaking into one of our favorite topics, Mental Skills Training and covering the book The Champion's Mind, How Great Athletes Think, Train, & Thrive in a multi-part podcast. In Part 1 Coaches Brian and Brady cover the opening chapters of the book, Afremow's "Gold Medal Performance" concept and 10 Mental Skills to help you maximize your training.

But we're still just getting started, and I am so excited to see where this journey takes us.   And today, I want to share two more of the people who endorsed and influenced my book: Dr. Jim Afremow and Caroline Burckle.   Dr. Afremow is one of the world's most sought after mental game coaches and the author of three books about being a champion, The Champion's Mind, The Champion's Comeback, and The Young Champion's Mind.

Welcome to the last episode of the Champion's Mindset series on The Impact Entrepreneur Show. Today's guest, Dr. Jim Afremow, is a much sought-after mental game coach and the author of two great books about being a champion: The Champion's Mind & The Champion's Comeback. “No one is born with a Champion's Mind gene, but there's nothing preventing us from thinking, feeling and acting like them – to be our best, and I think that's the ultimate gold medal.” Body language plays an important role in reaching peak performance and developing a champion's mindset. Your body language affects your mood, so it's not just fake it ‘til you make it – it's also fake it ‘til you feel it. Changing your attitude and body language isn't just for show. Your testosterone goes up and your stress hormones go down, so the result is that you will actually be more confident and more focused. “If you sit up straight and put a big smile on your face, it's not going to make everything perfect – but it's certainly going to help.” Socialization also has a significant effect on developing a champion's mindset. We're taught to be confident, but not cocky, and conflicting messages from society can negatively reinforce successful behaviors. In a team environment, the person with the best attitude who is working hardest might be negatively singled out. “When we start to change in different ways, or go outside the norm, and do things bigger and better than before, we get held back a little bit. Socialization really, really affects us much more than we think it does.” We start to separate ourselves from average when we work to master the things we are most passionate about. This can be in a sport, a business or something else entirely, but at the end of the day peak performance is peak performance. You'll never maximize your potential by working for the weekend. When we're pursuing peak performance, we don't receive a lot of positive feedback. It's important to realize that, when you are being tested a lot, you are on the right track. “Life is supposed to test you, it's not supposed to praise you.” In The Champion's Comeback: How Great Athletes Recover, Reflect, and Reignite, Jim explores the powerful experience of a comeback and how it relates to being reborn. Entertainment and social media can give us a skewed perspective on a champion's peak performance, but this book reveals the disappointments and struggles that go along with achieving peak performance. You can be a champion in anything you are passionate about, but it requires effort. Start acting and thinking like a champion, don't stop when you're tested and work hard every day.   Don't be a podcast junkie… Resources: Learn more about Jim: Gold Medal Mind | https://twitter.com/goldmedalmind (Twitter) | Facebook   The Champion's Mind: How Great Athletes Think, Train and Thrive by Dr. Jim Afremow The Champion's Comeback: How Great Athletes Recover, Reflect, and Reignite by Dr. Jim Afremow   The Happiness Advantage by Shawn Achor   This episode is brought to you by SY Partners and Unstuck, helping you make a change by identifying the things holding you up.
