Today on the podcast, I am joined by author, podcast host, founder of Train Ugly and the Learner Lab; my friend and fellow lifelong student, Trevor Ragan! Working with best selling authors, Olympic coaches, professional athletes, renowned professors, and thousands of coaches, teachers, students, and players from all over the world, Trevor is (in his words) “On an adventure to understand the science of how to become a better learner”. Due to his years and years of research, boots-on-the-ground, and behind-the-scenes, Trevor has a special ability to dissect and synthesize really complicated concepts and research into exercises and ideas that you and I can implement. He's a man of science and great insight beyond his years. In this episode, we get deep into the topic of fixed vs. growth mindset, how to run towards fear, and how your beliefs ABOUT your emotions actually shape your experience. He shares stories of middle school “anti-talent shows”, talks about the need for psychological safety in teams, and even opens up about being diagnosed with cancer. When I first started my podcast, my husband told me, “interview people that you want to learn from”, and Trevor was high on my list. If you hear the scratch of my pencil in the background, It's because I was scribbling notes the entire time. Follow Trevor: Website : https://trainugly.com/trevor-ragan/ Audiobook : https://thelearnerlab.com/learner-the-audiobook/ Blog, Cancer: Lessons Learned : https://thelearnerlab.com/cancer-lessons-learned/ The Learner Lab Podcast: https://thelearnerlab.com/podcast/ Here's a glance at this episode: [4:41] Trevor talks about how he got here; from creating basketball programs, to creating programs for prisons. Lindsey and Trevor discuss the learning curve for new mindset coaches, failing on a public stage, and what Dave Chappelle has to do with it. [12:01] Starting with the quote, “If you want to change a behavior, attack it at the mindet and environment, not just the behavior” Trevor explains how he (personally) runs toward fear. He also talks about the science of stress, and gives tips to help you shift the way you think about stress and other “negative” emotions. [16:41] Struggle feeds a fixed mindset. But if you can start to see stress as physical preparation and a necessary part of growth, you can build a growth mindset and increase your capacity for discomfort.. [22:11] How does your understanding of nerves affect your experience? Trevor points out the problem with toxic positivity, and explains in great detail how you can make room and process difficult human emotions. [24:54] Psychological safety is “The feeling that I can be myself, take risks, and ask questions”. It's also the key to great teams (and the science backs it up). When you don't feel psychologically safe in a group, the learning centers of your brain shut down, and you're less likely to engage in learning behaviors. [29:58] What can a middle school “anti-talent show” teach us about psychological safety? Trevor shares his experience to illustrate his belief that modeling behaviors of vulnerability and bravery and failure builds safety. [33:03] Trevor talks about his audiobook (linked above) which includes guest voices and sound effects to give the listener an immersive learning experience. [38:21] We all want to be the best, right? But Trevor asks the question, “Do you really need to be a master at something for it to have a massive effect on others?” Trevor makes his case for settling for “B+ work” and talks about how he uses storytelling as a cornerstone of teaching. [44:55] Trevor speaks vulnerably about what it was like to be diagnosed with cancer and what he learned during and after the experience. [52:16] Lindsey and Trevor wrap up their episode with actionable ways to grow your mindset and be more intentional about learning. Trevor believes in creating small, sustainable routines to create long-term change and growth.

I love the power of thinking about your thinking. This is where sustainable learning truly happens. Not in the telling. Not in the doing. But in the reflection on what’s happening. When you see patterns, you learn to manage them. My guest today is Trevor Ragan, the founder of The Learner Lab, an educational website that helps unpack and share the science of learning and development. Trevor spends his time with thought leaders and researchers from the worlds of psychology and developmental science, consumes their research, connects the dots, and shares it with anyone who will listen. In our conversation we talk about an essential process for successful training; why random can be better than predictable; a counterintuitive approach to managing difficult emotions; and of course, just what it means to train ugly.

You literally need the struggle and resistance to change your body. And the same rules apply to changing our brain. And so it's a call to action! Look, getting better isn't pretty and it's not only okay for it to be a bit ugly, it's unnecessary! The same tactics that we use to change our body with fitness and working out... those are the same rules that apply to changing our brain. So many times when we try to learn something, we try it twice, it doesn't work and then we just stop?! That would be the equivalent of doing like one set of curls. And then wake up in the morning like, oh, not bigger. I guess I can't grow. Nobody would do that!! People in the fitness world notice that, like literally, anyone can make any muscle stronger if they work it out! And… the same rules apply to skills. In today’s BPT Podcast I talked with Trevor Ragan from the “Learner Lab” and Train Ugly. Trever interviewed Michael merzenich. He's known as the father of neuro plasticity, which is like, the building blocks for all skill and development. Neuroplasticity shows how when we learn something, we're actually building new connections in our brain. And this guy has been studying the brain since the late 60s, early 70s. And during the conversation, one of the most profound things he said, like, with 100% certainty, absolutely anyone can get better at virtually anything! We know it can bring up a little fear and anxiety to create change… We address that too! Researchers have a technique they call Reappraising fear. Look into the research of fear, anxiety, stress, one of the worst possible things to do with those emotions is to try to suppress them. Yet 91% of people think that that's the best thing to do with them. We assume that something's wrong, that we're not ready, that we're not prepared that this isn't the right thing to do. But the truth is like, that's literally just a part of our brain. It's called our amygdala. And that's its response to anything that takes us out of our comfort zone. And so this tactic of reappraising fear is to help people understand feeling uncomfortable, doesn't mean you're doing something wrong. And it doesn't mean you can't do this. It means you're human. Like literally the human response to anything that stretches us out of our comfort zone is discomfort. And so like that seems simple, but it's like a superpower skill and tool that we can use to help us become better learners. Help us make bigger changes! The essence of a growth mindset is what I believe - I can grow. That's an essential fuel source to making a change the opposite of a fixed mindset that like, I can't learn that I can't do that. If I'm operating from those limiting beliefs, I'm probably not going to take a sustained action that goes for learning... that goes for working out. Now, the interesting thing, and the topic that we're digging into now is how actually the beliefs of the person in charge the beliefs of the leader can also become like self fulfilling, just like the beliefs of the individual. So Trevor interviewed Robert Rosenthal, he's in his 90s he's still a professor in California and he researches what they call the Pygmalion effect. And the Pygmalion effect basically shows how the Applications of the person in charge could become self-fulfilling prophecies. What the hell does that mean???

Limiting beliefs get in the way of learning. We can all work to overcome these by building a true growth mindset (the belief that we can grow our skills). The most effective way to build a growth mindset is to dig into the research of neuroplasticity and really work to understand how our brain learns.Featuring:Dr. Michael Merzenich Neuroscientist at The University of California, San Francisco.

Everyone is a learner and everyone wants to get better at something. The problem is that we haven't yet utilized the research when it comes to learning in the best way. Trevor Ragan is on a mission to magnify the best research out there to make us all better learners. In this podcast, Trev and I talk about ditching the drama from the learning process to open up the natural learner in all of us. Trev speaks across the country on the topic and has started a movement of those open to learning by "training ugly." For more on Trev's bio click here. He's a beast out there speaking on all things learning and spreading the word! We let this one flow a bit and cover so many overlapping topics of how drama gets in the way of learning and event taking steps outside of our comfort zone. You'll find great ideas about: What is the difference between a zoo tiger and jungle tiger when it comes to learning? Comfort Zones Recognizing Jungle Tiger Moments The four triggers of fear that try to stop us from learning Fear How to recognize and move beyond fear Practical questions to tune into self-doubt and limitations What makes a bad, good and great learner? How does accountability fit in with learning The resistance to change and how it affects learning and growth Feedback and how it ties into learning How to give and receive feedback and not miss the learning Tips to overcome negative feedback you receive We make up the word "zoo justification" How to help your team learn more and take on jungle tiger moments Why being a translator of research is so powerful Why "robbing reps" prevents others from learning The four factors of learning from a mindset of accountability How to understand resilience and be more resilient His newest video he mentioned How to Build a Growth Mindset: https://youtu.be/V7XjFTrPl6o How to Overcome Fear: https://youtu.be/qKCJbDOmuTI A Study on Praise and Mindsets: https://youtu.be/NWv1VdDeoRY Growth Mindset Introduction https://youtu.be/75GFzikmRY0 Learning - How it Works & How to Do it Better https://youtu.be/u9WpHHJz5Dc You can connect with me and continue the discussion here as well: Instagram My Facebook Twitter Snapchat | Alex Dorr Be sure to give Trev some love and let him know that our podcast brought you to his work!

We'll wait.  Trevor and I caught up after a TED X Talk he gave in Lander, to discuss the principles and theories behind motor learning. I quite selfishly gave him scenarios and examples using the drills we've created for our workshops and coaching, and asked how he might improve upon them based on the research behind motor learning.  If you're a coach, this is a must listen to episode.

Much to the disappointment of the listeners of Coach Your Brains Out and SANDCAST: Beach Volleyball with Tri Bourne and Travis Mewhirter, there will be no Anchorman-esc battle between the two podcasts. We're now on the same team. That's right. VolleyballMag.com is now the distributor for both podcasts, which are as similar as they are different, both focusing on the same sport while diving into it in vastly dichotomous angles. Coach Your Brains Out began as many podcasts do: A few friends with a similar interest, an iPhone, and a bit of editing know-how. John Mayer, Billy Allen and Nils Nielsen put an iPhone on a table and just talked about whatever volleyball and coaching topics came to mind. Allen would edit, they'd post, and, as they joke frequently on the show, maybe a few people would even listen.    They enjoyed doing it. Soon, they realized more than a few actually enjoyed listening. The show expanded in every way a podcast could. The audience grew, the technology evolved from one iPhone to a few mics. Guests have been some of the top performers in their respective spaces, including the likes of volleyball legends Phil Dalhausser and Karch Kiraly, authors Joshua Medcalf and James Kerr, and coaches John Kessel and Tom Black, among dozens of others. It isn't just coaching they analyze, but traits and features of high performing individuals and teams, digging into the various recipes for greatness, both physiological and psychological. “Around the time we were starting it we were turned on to ideas like Train Ugly's website, a lot of ideas like motor learning and different ways to teach the game,” Allen said. “That was a lot of what sparked our first couple episode and we were fired up on that. Before we did the podcast it was fun to pick [John's] brain and just talk, that kind of stuff, and now we're still able to do that and get some great coaches from around the world too.” “We try to find people striving for mastery in whatever they do,” Mayer added. “Whatever ways we can find to be our best.” Coach Your Brains Out publishes on Thursdays, typically in 30-minute episodes.

This week, Trevor Ragan of trainugly.com joined Stephen to talk about "how to train ugly."  Trevor has had a tremendous amount of success breaking down the old, traditional view of training (i.e. control every aspect of the athletes technique, and drill over and over and over the same way, then hopefully eliminate enough mistakes to create success) with concepts like random vs block training and the growth mindset (touch the ball often, learn through mistakes and develop the ability to live in the moment and produce the results.) He shared his journey from talking to the researchers who knew about the concepts of motor learning and then ultimately, attempting  to educate coaches and athletes about a new way, how they can train ugly, have fun and have more success.
