Mike Gillette, the a mind coach and author of Mind Boss, talks with Chad Dennis on Episode 46 of The MatBoss Podcast.

Seth and Dr. Sap bring you a podcast about Michigan's greatest teams. This episode: the season that began in the playoffs and ended as well as it could have. Our special guest: Mark Messner! Previously: 1901, 1925, 1932, 1947, 1950, 1964, 1976, 1980, 1999 THE SPONSOR: It is sponsored by HomeSure Lending. If you're buying or refinancing your home, this is the guy to talk to. He'll work on your loan directly and walk you through a process that can get really confusing really fast. I used him. Brian used him. Everyone else who used him is glad they did. [Description, diagrams, some video after the JUMP] -------------------------------------------- 1. THE EIGHTIES (starts at 1:00) VCRs, Cable TV, and the golden age of Independents. Michigan is coming off a horrible 1987 with ALL the turnovers, has a quarterback controversy, and is sharing Bo with his Athletic Director duties. Meanwhile the cheating is rampant, the recruiting is national, and Ohio State just dumped their 9 wins a year coach for the hot new thing because John Cooper had just beaten Michigan in a bowl game. 2. THE TEAM THE TEAM THE TEAM (starts at 26:04) ​ Bo's first nationally recruited team. The quarterback panic of 1984 leads to a class of five guys, Taylor the steady hand, Brown the super talent. Speed with Tony Boles and nobody can tackle Leroy Hoard. Return two smallish speedsters outside in Kolesar and Calloway, with leaping Greg McMurtry pushing his way into the lineup. Two big blocking tight ends with surprising receiving ability. And then that line: All-Americans John Vitale and Mike Husar, huge Greg Skrepenak and Tom Dohring, and a young Dean Dingman. Defense was a 5-2 that now called itself a 3-4 because it was easier to recruit linebackers than ends. Messner is now the leader inside. They're little but they get after it. J.J. Grant is a tackling machine, Erick Anderson displaces John Milligan, who's a better cover linebacker. Bobby Abrams and Alex Marshall were both Uche types but taller. They trusted big David Arnold at strongside cornerback but never felt comfortable with converted running back David Key and Todd Plate at weakside, with Tony Mitchell coming on as a nickel. Great talent at safety with Tripp Welborne and Vada Murray, but no depth. Mike Gillette assumes both kicking and punting duties, occasionally it seemed to be too much. 3. THE GAMES wsg MARK MESSNER (starts at 50:00) We meet Mark and go back through his Michigan career. Start the season vs #1 and #2 in the nation: (2012) yikes! Could have beaten them both. L 19-17 @ Notre Dame (national champs) ND gets the first KO return TD, Boles 59-yard KO return, Gillette 48-yard attempt wide right :( L 31-30 to Defending Nat Champs Miami Fake to Boles who dives over the pile and they all believe it, Michael Taylor turned loose, was playing unconscious . Tip off Miami 43 and Vada Murray intercepts. Michigan up 30-17 with 7 minutes to play, but then…ungh. Miami goes Tempo: TD, then next drive two M defenders run into each other and Miami goes all the way. Miami gets the onside kick, kicks GW field goal. W 19-9 vs Wake Forest Offense derping around. Wake takes a 3-0 lead in 2nd Q. Tripp Welborne drifts off coverage and intercepts Tony Boles on the edge. Messner safety! These are all Seth's memories because Messner is like "We played Wake Forest?" W 62-14 @ Wisconsin Tony Boles off to the races on the first play from scrimmage, grab 20-0 lead on an option pitch to him, and then he outraces everyone again to make it 34-0. “Seems like we’ve been on that field a couple of days.” W 17-3 vs Michigan State (defending B10 champs) State returned most of their defense from the Rose Bowl team a year before, but LOST TO RUTGERS and comes into this game winless. 10-0 lead at halftime and then Taylor throws a pick near-six (5 yard line) and M has a goal line stand Gillette punt blocked and returned for a TD but MSU offsides (Sparty No!) THE GILLETTE FAKE PUNT! 40 terrifying yard. T 17-17 @ Iowa Iowa “injuries” are the story all season but they’re all back. Iowa ran Harbaugh’s drop-and-draw. Iowa fans are deafening, Bo is livid at the ref because they called a delay of game on Taylor after Taylor wanted refs to quiet the crowd. Bo got a 15-yard penalty “called him a bad name.” Michigan scored anyways. Corner to Kolesar ties it up, Michigan has come back. M at the Iowa 1 yard line, Tracy Williams fumbles on the 1. “If had occurred later on in the season, Leroy Hoard would have had the ball.” W 31-6 Indiana (Big Ten title contenders) Leroy Hoard comes through in practice. Bo was yelling at the defense because they were doing a lousy job tackling him. Then it struck him a lot of defenses were having that problem. Hoard takes the first series for a long TD McMurtry reverse to Calloway. W 52-7 @NWestern Just up 17-7 and Bo was furious at halftime. Kolesar in the early 2nd half long return, blowout is on. End around to Kolesar too. W 22-7 Minnesota Rainy miserable day. First possession Taylor throws an INT and breaks collarbone. Demetrius Brown (16 interceptions in 1987). Ball is wet. It’s cold. So they went conservative. Gillette gets 5 FGs in the pouring rain. Messner held the jug: "THAT was cool!" W 38-9 Illinois Illini had upset IU so this is for the Big Ten championship! Had a good D, good passing QB, good RB, shit OL Fake punt to Erick Anderson works. Bo goes to his old 1969 Wishbones and grinds them down. W 34-31 Ohio State Welcome Cooper Era. Bo thought M was lucky to keep OSU off the board in 1st half. Gillette 56-yarder before the half. Defense struggled in the 2nd half but Leroy Hoard behind Dingman and Dohring takes back the lead. OSU up again, kicks off to Kolesar who takes it to the OSU 41->62 yard return. Down 31-27, Brown lobs to Kolesar who is Jeremy Gallon. At about 48:50 here: “There is no Co.” 4. ROSE BOWL and WRAP (starts at 1:35:49) When Bo watched film on them he thought they had a great defense but Michigan did things well that USC . USC is a big, cumbersome team at the tackles, Bo’s quick little defenders (eg Messner). M playing crappy to start, missed 2 field goals. Rodney Peete getting outside on them. Safeties come down against the run. Kolesar escapes a big TFL and turns it into a 16-yard gain. USC fumble, M goes down and goes up 15-14. Hoard takes over, big run, coverts a 4th and goal. Milligan game-sealing INT. So what are they? 1980? The reason Seth became a big Michigan fan? -------------------------------------------- MUSIC: "Don't Believe the Hype"—Public Enemy "Teenage Riot"—Sonic Youth "Tribute"—The Pasadenas “Across 110th Street” THE USUAL LINKS Helpful iTunes subscribe link General podcast feed link What's with the theme music?

The average street thug makes victimizing people his "job"... ... and he's good at it! Spotting an "easy target"... getting close... ambushing without warning... and using violence as a tool to gain money, power, or whatever other reason he may have to attack - these are skills he's fine-tuned time and time again. The only thing that's going to deter him is if you look like a "hard target" - the kind of person who appears (and "is") so dangerous that he'll avoid you at all costs, and move on to an easier mark. And making you THAT "dangerous" is exactly what this week's podcast episode is all about as I interview former top-bodyguard, Mike Gillette, on his best tactics.

How to overcome fear and self-doubt... while increasing your confidence in being able to protect you and those you love from an attack! Small daily changes that can have a BIG impact on your ability to stay safe even on the most dangerous streets! Simple self-defense techniques ANYONE can use to fight back against a bigger, stronger attacker! Practical training tips for becoming the "hard target" you were BORN to be! The best way to survive a real street attack is to not make yourself a target for one in the first place. Listen in and discover what top bodyguards and tactical experts know about projecting a "Don't f*ck with me!" vibe to criminals who may be watching you... without losing your sunny disposition and the ability to adore kitten memes in your spare time.

The phrases say it all... ..."self-defense"... "firearms defense"... The word "defense" implies that you're on the receiving end of a violent attacker... and that puts you at a serious disadvantage in being able to survive a real street fight - especially when we're talking hand-to-hand or hand-to-weapon combat. The key to surviving is to turn the tables on your assailant and dominate HIM - forcing him to react to YOU in order to defend himself. This kind of "street fight domination" takes special knowledge of how to fight back so for this week's podcast episode, I called up my friend (and badass bodyguard), Mike Gillette, to share some key self-defense tips from his new training program. Here's What You'll Discover In This Week's Episode: How to strategically position your body during the "interview" stage of an attack... to set yourself up for dominating control over your aggressor! Using the "science of leverage" to strip your attacker of his ability to throw a punch!  Mike's simple "takedown formula" for putting your attacker on the pavement with a pounding "thud"! How to man-handle a bigger, stronger attacker like he's a sack of potatoes! Training tips & tricks for dominating any attacker in a real street fight!  Whether you're looking for new tactics for how to win a real street fight or you're a concealed carry "gun guy/gal", these skills will make you far more prepared for an attack!

On today's show Mike and I talk about the importance of mental toughness and how having a strong mind can lead to a strong body.

(english text below, audio is in English) DEUTSCHER TEXT Mike Gillette hat einen spannenden Werdegang hinter sich. Seine frühe Kindheit war geprägt von Armut und Gewalt. Damit niemand außerhalb davon etwas merkte, zog er sich zurück und fühlte sich oft einsam. Als Teenager begann er dann selbst auch Alkohol und Drogen zu nehmen. Obwohl er wusste, dass er sein Leben selbst in die Hand nehmen müsste, um aus diesem Sumpf heraus zukommen, hatte er es nicht geschafft. Mit 18 Jahren sah er schließlich keinen Sinn mehr in seinem Leben und probierte sich mit einem Mix aus Alkohol und Tabletten umzubringen. Er hat es – glücklicherweise – überlebt. Kurze Zeit später traf er eine alte Freundin wieder (seine jetzige Frau), mit der er regelmäßig zur Kirche ging. Hieraus hat er so viel Kraft geschöpft, dass er sein Leben komplett änderte. Den Drogen und dem Alkohol hatte er komplett abgeschworen. Aber auch der Rest seines Lebens änderte sich zum Positiven. Er ging zur Army. Anschließend hatte er viele weitere interessante Jobs. Er war Polizeibeamter, Fallschirmjäger, SWAT-Kommandant, Anti-Terror-Berater, Leibwächter der Fortune 500 CEOs und ist ein rekordbrechender Strongman. Er ist Motivationsredner und Mind Coach. Außerdem hat er mehrere Bücher geschrieben und Videos produziert. Heute spricht er mit mir darüber, wie er zu dieser erstaunlichen und bemerkenswerten Person geworden ist.

Spare nicht am falschen Ende. Was nützt Dir ein Porsche, wenn Du einfach nicht Autofahren kannst. ;-) ENGLISH TEXT Mike Gillette has a fascinating personal background. His early childhood was marked by poverty and violence. He withdrew into himself and because of that felt very lonely, but he did not want others to know about his situation. As a teenager he took to drinking and used drugs. Even though he knew that he should take his life into his own hands and get himself out of this mess, he could not find the strength to do so. At age 18 he thought his life no longer had any meaning. He tried to kill himself with a mix of alcohol and pills. He survived - fortunately. Soon afterwards he ran into an old female friend (his now-wife), and started attending church regularly. This left a lasting impression on him and encouraged him to change his life. He completely quit drinking and stopped using drugs. But also the rest of his life changed for the better. He went to the U.S. Army. After he left the army he had many very interesting jobs and positions. He worked as a police officer, was a paratrooper, SWAT commander, anti-terrorism consultant, bodyguard of the Fortune 500 CEOs and a record-breaking strongman.
