Favorite Success Quote   “Life is just a battle against your disbelief that's why I'm screaming I'm the greatest of all time like young Ali”~Nipsey Hustle   Key Points 1. If Your Mindset isn't Right Your Life Won't be Right  Everything in your life, good or bad, stems from your mindset and your internal beliefs. If your mindset is weak, your life will be weak, it's that simple. You must develop the habit of improving the quality of your thinking daily. Stop tolerating weak and amateur level behavior and beliefs from yourself, challenge all of your limiting beliefs that say “I can't do this” or “I'm not worthy.” Quit complaining and making excuses and just get to work, improve your mindset and build the life of your dreams. 2. Begin Your Morning in the Right State  One of the habits nearly every successful person follows is a powerful morning routine. How you start your days plays a huge role in the outcome of your days, and your days control the outcome of your life, so if you want to take control of your life, take control of your mornings. Some habits you can begin instilling into your morning routine for rapid results are: 1. Affirmations: Tell yourself that you are the best over and over, and over 2. Meditation: Quiet your mind and get present and focused for the day ahead 3. Read: There is almost nothing as important as educating yourself, read, read, read. 4. Exercise: Get the endorphins going and the blood flowing 3. Eliminate Things That Are Distracting You From Your Goals  We live in a digital age where big companies capitalize on creating products that distract us from living our lives. If you want to be truly successful, you must begin to ruthlessly eliminate things that distract you from achieving your goals. Do you really need to spend hours on facebook each day for “Business,” is the next episode of Breaking Bad really more important than your dreams and aspirations? Start eliminating distractions so that you can fill your life with real experiences and real achievement and impact. 4. Read as Much as You Can  One of the cornerstone habit of every successful individual is massive self education. The most important investment you can make is in yourself, and reading is one of the easiest and least expensive ways to do that. Begin incorporating an hour of reading or listening to audiobooks into your life every day. Fill your head with the thoughts and life lessons of the greatest people who have ever lived and watch the quality of your life transform. 5. To Get Good Results You Need Good Emotions Your emotions are either helping or hurting you, there is no in between. If you want to see exceptional results in your life you need to have an exceptional quality of emotions. Learn to control how you feel in each moment. Understand the affect that sleep, exercise, posture, diet, and even your clothing has on how you feel in each moment and begin to build a lifestyle conducive to positive emotions. 6. Stop Being a Wimp aka Own Your Situation Whenever you find yourself allowing circumstances and negative emotions to rule your life, or whenever you begin playing the blame game, stop being a little wimp and own your situation. You are where you are because of the actions you have (or haven't) taken. You are responsible for your life, no one else. When you take 100% responsibility for your life, there is no one left to blame, and when there is no one left to blame you can begin living the life that you were born to live.

How will you be able to apply them to your own life? Enjoy the podcast, and check out the gift that he’s put together for Unbeatable Mind listeners at imnotyou.com/divine.

Olaniyi is a former New Orleans Saints NFL running back , current firefighter & entrepreneur.

“Champions aren't made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them — a desire, a dream, a vision.”Muhammad AliWe tend to assume the successful are simply gifted. Or perhaps just lucky — at the right place at the right time.Olaniyi Sobomehin is not one of those people.But he does have one thing most lack: vision and self-belief.A middle child with a life long dream to play in the NFL, Niyi lacked the natural gifts required to even earn a college football scholarship. Friends and family repeated the refrain: be realistic. Niyi ignored the advice, invested in himself and walked on the Oregon State program with little to no chance of seeing game time.But sheer determination, exceptional mental toughness, and an unparalleled ability to out work everyone on the field turned this no name walk on into a running back for The New Orleans Saints, where he finally realized his childhood dream playing alongside NFL greats like Drew Brees.A voracious reader able to translate wisdom into actionable practices, Niyi understood that the tools he relied upon for athletic success would apply equally to life after football. So upon retirement he turned his professional focus to I'm Not You– a platform to help young athletes develop the habits, strategies, systems and techniques required to maximize potential in sport and life.Niyi's approach has little to do with physical training. It's about overcoming mental limitations. It's about mindset. Because the relationship one has with one's self is what ultimately dictates outcomes.In other words, it's an inside job.Today we talk about the strategies Niyi distilled from playing at the highest level of sport and how these tools can be applied to unlock your own inner potential.Specifics include:* how to overcome a talent deficit* developing confidence through facing fear* techniques for developing a mental edge* what holds most athletes (and people) back* the common habits of the most successful athletes* the benefits of affirmation & visualization techniques* morning routines to optimize your day* why he surveys his family weekly; and* why getting uncomfortable is the key to successI love this guy's passion. Niyi's enthusiasm for life and devotion to service is infectious, buttressed by a perspective germane well beyond the boundaries of sport. So even if you’re not an athlete, this conversation delivers. Chocked with copious gems applicable to every facet of personal and professional development, it's a natural bookend to echo and complement my preceding conversation with Jesse Itzler and the principles he learned living with Navy SEAL David Goggins.Question: What Belief About Yourself Is Holding You Back?I'd love to hear all about it in the comments section below.I sincerely hope you enjoy this walk in Niyi's cleats as much as I did.Peace + Plants,P.S. – Subsequent to our interview, Niyi launched the Sports Motivation Podcast and already has 10 episodes up.

 What does it take to be a winning youth coach? Listen in as Olaniyi Sobomehin shares stories and discusses his journey to becoming a successful youth sports trainer. Olaniyi is the founder of Pro Squad Athletics, which inspires and propels young athletes to their ultimate potential by showing what it takes to be great, providing a plan that works, and the systems, habits, and mindset that greatness requires.  Pro Squad has successfully trained athletes at the youth, high school, college, and professional levels.  Olaniyi played college football at Oregon State and was an All-American his senior year at Portland State and went on to play for the New Orleans Saints in the NFL.  Olaniyi is also a full-time firefighter, and is married and has 5 children, 3 sons and 2 daughters, ranging from ages 11 to a newborn. Olaniyi has also generously offered a free 12 page e-book on the Power of Habits to Winning Youth Coaching listeners, check it out here: prosquadathletics.com/winning-youth-coaching Website: prosquadathletics.com Twitter: @NiyiSobo Facebook: /ProSquadAthletics Listen Now: Listen in ITunes: Itunes link Listen in Stitcher: Stitcher link   Coaching/Leadership Quote ‘Leaders are stubborn on vision but flexible on details and approach' - Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon Raising my kids Who is taking control of how my kids are being conditioned(mentally and physically)?  If I don't do it - somebody else will.  You have to invest in them and have a plan. The Daily D system (Daily Disciplines) - each kid has a set of daily habits that are tracked and rewarded My ‘Cringe Moment' Early on Olaniyi thought his approach was the only right one.  He learned each kid, each team - have individual personalities and will respond uniquely.  So you have to constantly be learning. ‘Leaders are stubborn on vision but flexible on details and approach' - Jeff Bezos, founder of Amazon Teaching Children & Keeping it Fun HUGE IDEA #1 Communicating in a way that the kids understand is your ultimate goal/challenge.  Use analogies with something they are passionate about (Legos, basketball, singing, etc.) Tony Robbins: 'The only way to know if you're communicating well - is if your point is getting across' Mental Peak Performance Fear of failure- Great analogy - Olaniyi's son hates to lose and might quit in the middle of a race - So he used the analogy of how obsessed his son is with Mari0 Kart to beat a level - when he fails to complete a level - he doesn't quit, he keeps pushing reset until he eventually will beat the level.  So use this analogy to show your athlete the type of passion you need to accomplish something - quitting is the only way you will fail. Quote: 'As long as I take action, evaluate the effectiveness, and adjust according to my desired result, then it's a win' Initially the first killer of confidence is a lack of skill.  So initially establish a baseline and define some quick improvements where they can see their skill improve by doing some Daily disciplines. HUGE IDEA #2 Confidence is a choice.  Olaniyi's kids start each day by looking in the mirror and do 'Affirmations', they call it 'Prime-time.'  They flex their muscles and tell themselves they are strong, confident, and proud.  They also record audio of their affirmations in GarageBand laid on top of their favorite track. Discipline and Teambuilding The #1 challenge for a coach is to establish a purpose for being on this team.  The athlete should be excited about coming to practice, not dread it. Inspiring Story One of Olaniyi's students did not have much self confidence.  Olaniyi has worked with her to establish a life vision, purpose, morning mastery routine - now she is taking massive action towards these goals. The One that Got Away As an assistant coach- Olaniyi saw an athlete who was having a rough game - and he chose not to say anything because he was worried about overstepping ...
