Coach John Daly - Coach to Expect Success - Podcasts

“Send Coach John a message” As usual, there seems to be a lot on my mind throughout the day (and night at times).  I found this simple reminder - simple but not easy to do. From Dr. Jim Afremow (@goldmedalmind) who posted this: “Just win the moment in front of you.”  Again, (a repeated topic) there are so many distractions every day in our lives. More so now than ever before it seems. When we win...

“Send Coach John a message” This actually came across my “news wire” yesterday just about the time where I got off the phone with my buddy Coach Dave Ruekert (@CoachRuekert). It connected with Dave and so many others in my life. The post came from Gary Hensel (@gary_hensel) and the post was this powerful reminder: “Surround Yourself With People Who - Empower you, Believe in you, Support you, Uplif...

“Send Coach John a message” Look what I found - a powerful reminder for myself that I also saw something yesterday that my daughter showed me.  This comes from Gratitude HQ (@gratefuledu64)  and they shared this:  “Let’s be that person, who roots for others. Who tells a stranger they look amazing and encourages others to believe in themselves and their dreams.”  What happened to simply being happy...

“Send Coach John a message” I found a very inspirational and thought provoking post from a former student, and I’ve leaned on him plenty of times before. Coach Ray Ostrowski (@CoachRayO3313) is an amazing teacher and football coach, where he goes out of his way to share things just about every day with his students and players, but also the rest of the world too.  This long-time educator and coach...

“Send Coach John a message” Reading the new book from Mitch Albom called “Twice” (click HERE for the book info.) It gets us thinking about what if we got second chances to do things over? But we would have to live with that new choice. Also, it can be used for Love either. So many thoughts here that this is helping to see things in my life just a bit differently. I understand that what I have in m...

“Send Coach John a message” I saw something recently that gave me a motivational lift along with a reminder too. This comes from UpSkillYourLife (@UpSkillYourLife) and it’s this: “Forget your age. If you have dreams to achieve, you are still young.” I do have dreams to achieve - still!!  I also think of my current age and I am reminded through this post and other things, that yes I am still young....

“Send Coach John a message” Found a post from Overmind (@overmind01) where a very simple statement got me thinking about a few things. The post was this:  “Education isn’t for employment. Education is for enlightenment.” A key point that I always made to my students was that education happens all throughout our lives. Education was not meant (in my opinion) simply to help us get a job. It’s for li...

“Send Coach John a message” I was on the road again - nothing big, just a grocery pickup and I was listening to The Daily Coach Podcast - Getting Comfortable With Failure.   It was another of so many incredible sources of hearing stories from people who have been through failure, rejection, tough times, tragedy, etc. My connection point today is for all of us to find those sources of lessons that...

“Send Coach John a message” Now, this post that I saw from Seek Wiser (@SeekWiser_) is all about raising our standards, but when I saw it - I knew this post was directly pointing at me. I don’t want you getting offended by the title. I’ll use something else in my thoughts about these thoughts in this episode. But, it is easy for me to see that this is a formula for me to get things better in my li...

“Send Coach John a message” Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) comes through with another reflection for all of us.  “A reminder: Your life is nothing but a reflection of how you spend your time.” WOW!!  Talk about an eye-opening thought, especially when you read this while looking in the mirror!! If we don’t like things going on in our lives - look how we spend our time! I’ve been reflecting on my...

“Send Coach John a message” I connected with someone new recently when I saw this post from Gary Hensel (@gary_hensel) and it’s a powerful reminder for all of us. We can all have this superpower, in fact we already have it. But if you are like me, I need to have it a bit more often everyday and that’s exactly what I plan on doing.  This thought here means a lot: “Calmness is a superpower. The abil...

“Send Coach John a message” I was listening to a podcast from “The Burn Podcast” by Ben Newman where he was having a fabulous conversation with Inky Johnson —  the same Inky that I keep leaning on in so many of my episodes. Listen to it HERE .  We are reminded about Inky’s career-ending injury and how it changed his entire life.  This helped to remind me how humility, discipline (it’s been a recur...

“Send Coach John a message” Just listened to a fabulous podcast from Ben Rogers and his “Bottom Line” podcast. This episode was called “Tuesday Short: Truckers Block”   Find Ben: (@ben_rajas53) BUILD Coaching Company, LLC  - buildthearmy.com .  The whole premise was connected to author Steve Chandler and his description about what “Trucker’s Block” is all about. “Is there something called Trucker’...

“Send Coach John a message” I found this quote (from unknown) that said - “I fell in love with this quote: ‘Discipline is remembering who you said you wanted to be.’”  This is short, yet so powerful. As soon as I saw it, read it and it sunk in - I was reminded instantly about doing things to help make myself be better in order to not only go after the things I want to do in my life, but also to he...

“Send Coach John a message” I found an interesting post that got me thinking a little bit where Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) showed this image of glass where there was a line in the middle.  Above the line, it said “People who wonder whether the glass is half empty or half full, miss the point.”  On the bottom half of the glass, it says “The glass is refillable.” I’ve always been a self-describe...

“Send Coach John a message” Found a great reminder Psyche Wizard (@PsycheWizard) where this thought was shared: “The quickest way to succeed is to start now and figure it out as you go. You can’t learn how to drive in a parked car.” So many thoughts came to mind when I saw this. I think it’s easy to imagine sitting in a parked car, sitting on a bike, on a skateboard, a motor cycle, etc., and it’s...

“Send Coach John a message” I found one of the simplest pieces of advice that I need help with and maybe others need this too. From Overmind (@overmind01) this thought is shared:  “Don’t blame the distractions, improve your focus.”  There are so many distractions in the world and in front of us, now more than ever before it seems. As stated in this episode, I clicked on a “distraction” right befor...

“Send Coach John a message” As if I needed another rule to follow. This one is something you will want to connect with I think and it’s not that difficult to understand. From Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) where this is shared:  “The Rule of 100 - If you spend 100 hours a year in any discipline, (which is only 18 minutes a day), you’ll be better than 95% of the world in that discipline. Consiste...

“Send Coach John a message” It always seems, sad as it is, that we humans tend to not only learn lessons from others more so when they are gone, but humans have a sad track record, that looking back throughout history - we don’t learn these lessons too well. Now of course this does not mean every single human being throughout history - tons of great people for sure that know and live these lessons...

“Send Coach John a message” Saw an interesting list from Book Therapy (@Book_therapy223) where they shared these six items. “Discipline is not hard. You just don’t know these secrets: 1) Find your why, 2) Routine is Important, 3) Mindset Matters, 4) Celebrate Small Wins, 5) Visualize, and 6) Reset, Don’t Quit. These items got me thinking about a lot of things that I want to keep working on so that...

“Send Coach John a message” Today there is no shortage of information out there - the key is to find the good stuff in order to keep getting better. Out of the many things that I listen to so that I can invest in myself, and try to keep the spark going for myself. Tons of stuff for you to connect to, here are three of the many that I lean on.  First, John O’Leary! You’ve heard about him many times...

“Send Coach John a message” I came across a couple of great posts that really got me thinking about something we all do and the importance of realizing that there is a ton to learn from this event.  What I found from Seek Wiser (@SeekWiser_) was a great reminder as to what failure is all about. Here it is: “F = Fall, A = Acknowledge, I = Investigate, L = Learn, U = Understand, R = Realign and the...

“Send Coach John a message” I came across a powerful post from Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) where this African Proverb was shared: “No matter how sharp your teeth are, you can’t bite water.  Meaning - Each problem comes with its own solution. Take time to understand the nature of the situation before taking action. Powerful thoughts here that I never really thought about before. Chewing water (y...

“Send Coach John a message” Found this post that is connected to The Ryder Cup (currently going on at the time of this recording - the USA team has a lot of work to do to get closer to the European team.)  But this clip came from DAILY HOVI (@dailyhovi) - where Viktor Hovland says about his plans to  just laugh off comments from the crowd while playing the match in New York City (notorious for the...

“Send Coach John a message” Still hanging onto John O’Leary’s podcast that I shared yesterday. If you need the link again to check out this episode - click HERE . It’s a great episode to listen to again and I’m zeroing in on one of the questions that John asks all of his guests. They are called the Live Inspired 7 and I’m focusing in on is #2:  “What is a characteristic or trait that you possessed...
