In this episode, you'll learn… Why over-preparing before Q-School can drain your best performance How to maintain discipline and stick to your strategy under intense pressure Simple course management rules that keep big numbers off your card How to handle the financial and emotional pressures of chasing your card The role meditation and mental training play in sustaining focus over multiple rounds Why caddying can sharpen your decision-making and mental game How to replicate your best habits from great rounds when it matters most Get your pencils ready and start listening.  P.S.

Mindset training is learning why you don't do what you know you should; mental game is learning what and how to think. Grinding before a tournament depletes your mental energy—less is more leading up to Q School. Tiger's real edge wasn't just skill—it was discipline, presence, and treating every shot the same. Routine > Novelty: Eat the same lunch, wear the same shirt—save mental energy for where it matters. Every shot must be attacked like your target is the flag—own your discipline and trust the process. Teaching or caddying for others sharpens your own mindset and awareness faster than anything else. Winning isn't about score—it's about growing through process and discipline. Key Quotes: I thought meditation was about having no thoughts—turns out it's about recognizing your thoughts before they own you. If you abandon your strategy because of your score… you've quit. You didn't walk off the course, but you quit. Your work should be done before you get to Q School. If you're not playing great, get your mental energy right. Meditation is like losing 100 pounds without seeing progress for a year—pointless until it suddenly clicks. The best thing I ever did for my game was caddy for Will Zalatoris You don't need more talent. You need more patience, more trust, and more discipline. No NEW-trition on game day.

What do wildfires, the Arizona desert, and the Oregon Coast have in common? They've all tried—and failed—to stop Katie Gunvalson, aka Raven. In this episode, I catch up with Jeffrey Award winner and self-supported FKT crusher Katie after her overall record on the Oregon Coast Trail, where she took the long way and still came out fastest.This is the full-circle redemption arc. Katie first came on the podcast after her PCT FKT was stopped by a wildfire on day one. Since then? She's failed a few more times (we all have—ask Nick), kept showing up, and finally broke through with one of the coolest FKTs around—one that involves tide timing, beach running, and some major resilience.Consider donating to support the trevor project as I attempt this record https://give.thetrevorproject.org/JeffATWe talk about what it means to chase something hard, to fail publicly, and to come back swinging. Katie shares the real stuff—motivation, self-worth, wanting to compete with the big names at Cocodona (hey Jamil, you listening?), and why this record mattered more than any other.This episode is brought to you by:Janji – for clothing that keeps you stylishly off the FKT doleGarage Grown Gear – for all your weird, ultralight, cottage gear needsMount to Coast – shoes for people who want to look fastCS Coffee – still the only reason I'm coherent todayAnd a reminder: I'm currently out chasing an Appalachian Trail FKT and raising money for The Trevor Project—because using our niche little sport to support people who feel different can actually make a difference.

The "End of Summer Development" for basketball players typically refers to a crucial period where athletes aim to consolidate gains made over the summer and prepare for the upcoming fall and winter seasons, which often include tryouts, practices, and games. This phase is characterized by a strategic shift in training focus, moving from broad summer conditioning to more specific, basketball-centric preparation. Here's a breakdown of common elements in an End of Summer Development plan: 1. Skill Refinement and Integration: * Drill Work: Intensified focus on fundamental skills like shooting form, dribbling control, passing accuracy, and defensive footwork. This often involves high-repetition drills to build muscle memory. * Game-Situational Drills: Transitioning from isolated skill work to drills that mimic in-game scenarios (e.g., 3-on-3 full-court, 5-on-5 half-court with specific offensive/defensive objectives). This helps players apply skills under pressure and improve decision-making. * Weakness Identification & Improvement: Players and coaches should identify individual weaknesses observed during the summer (e.g., left-hand dribbling, free throw shooting, defensive closeouts) and dedicate specific time to improving these areas. 2. Physical Preparation and Conditioning: * Sport-Specific Conditioning: Moving away from general aerobic conditioning to more basketball-specific bursts of activity, including sprints, suicides, plyometrics (box jumps, hurdle hops), and agility drills (cone drills, ladder drills). The goal is to improve anaerobic capacity and the ability to perform repeated high-intensity efforts. * Strength Maintenance/Peak: Maintaining the strength gains made during earlier summer weight training. The focus might shift from heavy lifting to more power-based exercises or reducing volume slightly to allow for recovery while maintaining strength. * Injury Prevention: Increased emphasis on flexibility, mobility, and pre-habilitation exercises to prevent common basketball injuries. This includes dynamic warm-ups, static stretches, foam rolling, and targeted exercises for joints like ankles, knees, and shoulders. 3. Mental Preparation and Strategy: * Basketball IQ Development: Watching film (both personal and professional), discussing strategies, understanding offensive sets and defensive schemes. * Mental Toughness: Developing resilience, focus, and the ability to perform under pressure. This can involve competitive drills, challenging conditioning sessions, and visualization techniques. * Team Dynamics (if applicable): If a player is already with a team, this period might involve team-building activities, early practices focused on establishing team chemistry, and introducing basic offensive/defensive principles. 4. Recovery and Nutrition: * As training intensity increases, proper recovery becomes even more critical. This includes adequate sleep, active recovery sessions, and proper nutrition to fuel workouts and aid muscle repair. Hydration is also paramount. Why is End of Summer Development Important? Bridge to Season: It serves as a crucial bridge between the less structured summer training and the demanding in-season schedule. Peak Performance: Helps players reach peak physical and mental condition just in time for tryouts and the start of competitive play. Injury Reduction: Proper conditioning and preparation reduce the risk of early-season injuries. Confidence Building: Mastering skills and feeling physically ready boosts a player's confidence entering the new season. In essence, the "End of Summer Development" is about putting all the pieces together – refining skills, peaking physical conditioning, and sharpening mental focus – to ensure a player is fully prepared to perform at their best when it matters most.

In this insightful episode of "Father and Joe," Joe Rockey and Father Boniface Hicks delve into the complex yet enriching journey of cultivating trust and fostering meaningful relationships with ourselves, others, and God. They explore the intricacies of trust—how it's built step-by-step through integrity, dependability, and consistency, and how it's intrinsically linked to vulnerability. The hosts candidly discuss the challenges around rebuilding trust, especially for those who have experienced trauma, and highlight the importance of being open to growth in relationships.Father Boniface provides a profound perspective on how our daily, seemingly simple interactions are rooted in unexpected levels of trust. Whether navigating a complex journey through a foreign market or simply shopping at a local store, trust silently governs many aspects of our lives. Joe emphasizes that understanding trust starts from within, analyzing our past interactions, and being conscious of the behaviors that foster or hinder relational growth.Listeners are invited to envision their relationships as a canvas, where the practice of mental preparation can be as impactful as the actions themselves. Drawing parallels from sports, Joe illustrates how champions attain mastery not only through physical prowess but through mental agility—foreshadowing their moves and understanding their counterparts' strategies. This analogy extends into relational dynamics, where understanding others' preferences can significantly enhance our interactions and emotional bonds.The conversation further deepens into self-reflection's role in improving relational and spiritual lives. It highlights Pope Francis's teachings on losing touch with our hearts due to societal distractions, advocating for a slower pace that allows for introspection. The two hosts reiterate the need for reflecting on questions of identity, purpose, and divine relationship to maintain a more fulfilled and engaged life.Father Boniface and Joe eloquently conclude that just as much—or even more—growth occurs through thoughtful reflection and genuine communication. They underline that life's challenges invite us to continuously learn, adapt, and nurture our relationships spiritually and interpersonally.This episode serves as a compelling reminder that opening our hearts and minds can transform relationships, weaving trust into the very fabric of our lives. By integrating these elements into our daily practices, we not only enrich our connections with others but also create more space for a profound union with God.Tags: Spiritual Direction, Relationship Building, Trust Development, Self-Reflection, God, Faith Journey, Mental Preparation, Personal Growth, Prayer Practice, Relationship Dynamics, Emotional Intelligence, Trust in Relationships, Vulnerability, Integrity, Dependability, Spiritual Growth, Building Trust, Emotional Connection, Mindfulness, Personal Relationships, Communication Skills, Trustworthiness, Self-Awareness, Reflection, Spirituality, Overcoming Trauma, Religious Guidance, Heartfelt Conversations, Everyday Trust, Relationship Skills, Emotional Growth, Connection with God, God's Will, Christian Faith, Relationship Analysis, Spiritual Practices, Church Life, Engaging Faith, God's Teachings, Podcast SeriesHashtags: #FatherAndJoe #SpiritualDirection #Trust #RelationshipBuilding #FaithJourney #SelfReflection #PersonalGrowth #Communication #EmotionalIntelligence #TrustInRelationships #Vulnerability #Integrity #Dependability #SpiritualGrowth #Mindfulness #PrayerPractice #ConnectionWithGod #ChristianFaith #EmotionalConnection #UnderstandingOthers #GodsWill #RelationalDynamics #ReligionAndFaith #HeartfeltConversations #PersonalRelationships #SpiritualPractice #EverydayTrust #RelationshipAnalysis #SelfAwareness #GodsTeachings #FaithAndLife #FaithPodcast #ReflectiveLiving #BuildingTrust #OvercomingTrauma #EmotionalGrowth #EngagingFa

Send us a textThis week, I sit down with my friend and mental preparation expert, Vincent Maltz, to explore a powerful and often misunderstood phenomenon in high-performance sport: how pressure can derail both individuals and teams.When pressure mounts, it can trigger a threat response in the brain, activating neurological and psychological patterns rooted in fear. The result? Fight, flight, or freeze. For individual athletes, it shows up as choking, the yips, or “squeezing the stick.” For teams, it's that haunting feeling when they just don't show up.We dig into the underlying mechanisms behind these moments, and what it takes to build athletes and teams who can face fear, step into it, and perform.It's a fascinating conversation with a brilliant mind. I really enjoyed it—and I think you will too.
