In deze nieuwe aflevering van de Tijdwinst Podcast duikt time management expert Björn Deusings samen met Inge Martina Nysten in het bizar intense leven van David Goggins en zijn boek Can't hurt me. De man die zichzelf zonder knipperen “World's Toughest Motherf*cker” noemt, drie keer de Navy SEAL helweek doorliep, ultramarathons rende op een gebroken voet en wereldrecords pull-ups neerzette. Indrukwekkend, zeker. Inspirerend, misschien. Gezond, dat is nog maar de vraag.Inge las het boek van kaft tot kaft, Björn haakte eerlijk gezegd vrij snel af. In dit gesprek fileert hij samen met Inge zowel het verhaal als de boodschap erachter. Wat doet een jeugd vol mishandeling, trauma en racisme met je? Hoe kom je van 135 kilo ongediertebestrijder tot ultra atleet die zijn grenzen systematisch negeert? En belangrijker nog: wat kun jij daar als gewone kenniswerker eigenlijk wél mee zonder jezelf compleet af te branden?Wat leer je in deze aflevering:Hoe Goggins eelt op zijn ziel kweektWaarom hij zichzelf radicaal hard toespreekt in de “accountability mirror”Waarom volgens Goggins je brein al wil opgeven, terwijl je pas op 40% zit (40% rule)Wanneer discipline omslaat in zelfkastijdingHoe Goggins zijn successen gebruikt als mentale voorraadpot voor moeilijke momentenWaarom dit boek Inge eerder ongemotiveerd dan gemotiveeerd maakteWat jij er wél uit kunt halen voor je eigen leven en werkBjörn en Inge gaan verder dan het zoveelste “mindset is alles” praatje. Ze bespreken ook de scherpe kritiek op Goggins: de verheerlijking van pijn, de bijna afwezige balans, het risico op burn-out en de vraag of dit soort extremen eigenlijk wel passen bij een leven waarin je ook partner, ouder of collega wilt zijn."Dat mag ook gewoon hard, gewoon geen zeik, geen smoesjes door."Kijk de podcast op Youtube of laat je hier meenemen in het verhaal achter de “World's Toughest” man en besluit zelf welke lessen je meeneemt in jouw eigen leven.MEER WETEN?Wil je meer lezen over dit onderwerp of aan de slag met de tips die we in deze video hebben besproken?

Send us a textEver catch yourself saying, “I'll be happy when I hit the goal”? Let's break that loop. We dive into gratitude as a performance tool, not a consolation prize—how to be proud of the work you're doing now while still chasing the next level. I walk through the mindset shift from delayed happiness to daily appreciation, and why that shift keeps you grounded, motivated, and hard to burn out.We explore the moving goalpost problem: ambition expands your targets, which is healthy, but only if your gratitude expands too. I share personal stories from opening a gym to pursuing franchises, and how respecting the struggle made the wins mean more. You'll hear how to reframe imposter syndrome by becoming living proof for those a few steps behind, and why specific, timely thanks to your “home team” and work team creates a powerful ripple effect. We talk simple scripts for acknowledging support, recognizing invisible privileges of progress, and using feedback—good or bad—to sharpen your edge.The fire metaphor runs through the episode: each new level has its own heat, and fewer people choose to walk through it. That's your advantage. Learn how to read the current season with perspective, audit the actions and inactions that built your present results, and draw a clear line between wanting more and doing the work that makes more inevitable. Gratitude in the grind won't make you complacent; it gives you the capacity to carry bigger goals without losing yourself.If this resonated, tap follow, share it with someone who's in the thick of it, and leave a quick review with one thing you're grateful for today. Your words help more driven people find the show and keep the ripple going.Support the showThanks for listening & being part of the Mindset Cafe Community.----------------------------------------------Connect With Devan:https://www.devangonzalez.com/connect----------------------------------------------Follow On Instagram https://www.instagram.com/devan.gonzalez/https://www.instagram.com/mindsetcafepodcastLet me know what topics or questions you want covered so we can help you achieve your goals faster.

Send us a textWinning can be the start of the slide. After a deep run or a title, the real threat isn't on your schedule—it's in your clubhouse. We unpack how complacency takes root during the quiet months and map out a hard-nosed offseason plan that keeps players hungry, focused, and honest about their work.We start with lessons from Nick Saban's process: celebrate briefly, then eliminate the “rat poison” of praise by anchoring everything to execution—one drill, one rep, one play at a time. Then we look at Ryan Day's transparency model and apply it to baseball with visible practice stats, effort grades, and execution metrics that remove hiding spots and turn accountability into culture. From there, we translate elite habits into concrete baseball standards: measurable throwing programs, exit velocity benchmarks, 60-yard improvements, body composition targets, and skill assessments scheduled and posted so progress is public and real.You'll hear how to reset the narrative on day one, rebuild roles from scratch, and design player-owned development plans that name three weaknesses and attack each with a partner, a timeline, and testing days. We frame roster turnover as a proving ground for new leaders and show how to “schedule humility” with film, guest speakers, and manufactured adversity through constraint scrimmages and competitive training blocks. The message is simple and sharp: excellence is a pursuit, not a destination, and last year's success can't become this year's excuse.If you're ready to turn comfort into fuel, lock in your standards, measure everything, and keep the goalposts moving. Subscribe, share this episode with a fellow coach, and leave a quick review telling us the one metric you'll track this offseason.

Let's talk about building our personal success! Today, Mardi Winder gets real about something we all deal with, and that is our habits.

Ronnie shares her own story of how she turned her health around and discovered the power of habits in every area of life.Together, they break down simple ways to ditch old habits that don't serve you, build new ones that actually stick, and why tiny changes make the biggest difference.

This week on the Science for Sport podcast, host Richard Graves is joined by boxing legend Johnny Nelson MBE, the longest-reigning cruiserweight world champion in history. With a story that spans early losses, a transformative mentorship under Brendan Ingle, mental resilience, structural discipline, and elite-level performance, Johnny offers a rare window into the mindset and preparation of a world-class athlete. From his humble Sheffield upbringing through a gritty apprenticeship in Europe to standing atop the world with 13 title defences, Johnny reflects on the physical demands of his sport, the mental architecture that carried him, and how those lessons translate into high-performance sport science environments today. Whether you're working with elite athletes, exploring pathway development, or investigating the interplay of mindset, culture and performance. This episode delivers actionable insight. You'll Learn * How deliberate structure and environment in the early years set Johnny's foundation for world-class performance, and what that means for athlete development pipelines in elite sport. * The interplay between physical conditioning and mental readiness: why Johnny argues that even 99% physical fitness isn't enough without mental strength to match. * How a coach/mentor adapted learning modality to individual athlete needs (story-based learning vs. written instruction) and how that insight translates to sport science practice. * The “apprenticeship phase” of elite athletes: why Johnny spent six years as a sparring partner across Europe, what he learned about failure, character-building and resilience, and how that maps to athlete development models. * The transition out of elite competition: Johnny's reflections on his own injury-forced retirement, loss of gym identity and how elite sport practitioners can support athlete exit and long-term wellbeing. * Practical take-aways on environment design, multicultural team culture, and creating performance contexts that simulate hostile or challenging conditions (drawing on Johnny's anecdotes of gym culture and travelling abroad). About Johnny Nelson Johnny Nelson (born 4 January 1967, Sheffield) turned professional in 1986 after a modest amateur career. He trained under iconic coach Brendan Ingle at the Wincobank gym in Sheffield, where he developed not only boxing skills but a mindset of relentless belief and self-validation. In March 1999 he captured the WBO Cruiserweight World Title and held it until his retirement in 2006—during which he defended it 13 times, the most ever in cruiserweight history. Post-career, Johnny has built a prominent role as a boxing pundit, keynote speaker, and mentor around mindset, resilience and high-performance culture.

In this episode of the Schofield Chiropractic Training MoChihChu Podcast, Dr. Fred and Dr. FJ unpack one of the most overlooked truths of modern chiropractic, and life: we've become too comfortable. Through stories of fearless kids, African safaris, and the ancient wisdom of the Bushmen, the Schofields explore what happens when comfort dulls our hunger and weakens our meaning. From crocodile-filled rivers to thorn-bush fences, Dr. Fred paints vivid lessons about courage, mentorship, and the necessity of discomfort to create depth and purpose in practice. The conversation flows from the toughness of the Himba tribes to the mental discipline required to run a thriving chiropractic office. Dr. Fred reminds us that every strong practice, like every thorn bush, must have boundaries that protect its energy, and every chiropractor must rediscover their own why. Dr. FJ breaks it down practically: health, energy, and consistent action are the foundation of resilience. Without vitality, you can't sustain the intensity needed to build something great. This episode is a wake-up call for anyone coasting through life or practice. Comfort might feel good, but it never grows you. "When we have no adversity, we invent it. So train your mind and body with hard things, then real challenges feel small." – Dr. FJ Schofield Weekly Action Steps: Do One Hard Thing: Choose a daily challenge—cold shower, morning run, tough conversation—and face it head-on. Find Your Thorn Bush: Identify what boundaries protect your purpose. Where are you letting distractions or predators in? Reconnect with Meaning: Write down why you started. Post it where you can see it every day. Build Energy to Build Impact: Move your body, nourish yourself, and show up to your practice with vitality. Because hunger starts the journey—but meaning keeps you charging. Listen, share, and rise above comfort.  Keep Charging Rhinos! MoChihChu!
