“Send Coach John a message” I don’t think that I can (or should) go too far away from mentioning the importance of Gratitude. I found this post from The Mindfulness Meditation Institute (@TrainingMindful) where this reminder is shared - “Gratitude… Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance.” - Eckhart Tolle .  It got me thinking about how there a...

“Send Coach John a message” I came across a post from Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) that shared a much needed reminder (at least for me) to “do more things that make you forget to check your phone.” It’s been on my mind lately as to making more of an effort to stay off my phone / computer more and do things that I used to not think twice about before all of this technology came into our lives. It...

“Send Coach John a message” I found a gem this morning that really has a great change in mindset for all of us. This came from Sam Rothman (@samrothman_) who is a sports reporter and she shared this:  “Danny White saw Kim Caldwell as a rising star. He was right, and now she is staying through 2030.” In this press conference Coach Kim Caldwell (University of Tennessee women’s basketball coach) was...

“Send Coach John a message” I found a very simple thought today from Clint Hurdle (@ClintHurdle13) “Be a friend. Be a helper. Be kind. That's it.” A very simple and easy to understand message that all of us need to hear. The world needs you to be a bit more like this and I’m talking to myself in the mirror right now my friends. We don’t know what others are exactly going through, but we can s...

“Send Coach John a message” I found a couple of posts here with some important reminders that I needed and hopefully you can connect with them too. First up was from Mind Essentials (@Mind_Essentials) where we are reminded about Joy and the importance of us making the choice to have more of it in our lives!! I know I need to focus on not only creating it, but hanging onto it! The second one that c...

“Send Coach John a message” I found a great list of self care tips from Roseann | Keep On Going Motivations (@Motivateme247) and they really caught my eye due to the fact that I need to do these a bit more - consciously do them.  In today’s world, investing in ourselves is so vitally essential - it still is true today, our best investment is in ourselves. There are so many ways to invest in oursel...

“Send Coach John a message” Found this powerful and peaceful reminder from Mind Essentials (@Mind_Essentials) which shares this: “The greatest wealth you could ever have is having a healthy body, calm mind, and good people in your life.” I guess I’m still working on this formula. I am blessed with having so many wonderful and awesome people in my life. The calm mind I seem to have here and there,...

“Send Coach John a message” A long time basketball coach and someone who I’ve watched from afar for a long time, Tom Crean (@TomCrean) put this post out recently and I think it’s right on target:  “You can never “escape” all the drama and negative people around but you can “avoid” them if you really try. Wasting time on people with ALL the answers or ALL of the negativity takes work but it’s well...

“Send Coach John a message” Saw something that got me thinking really about a simple, yet powerful thought - just keep trying to do things the right way!! Kylie Riordan (@mindfulheal) reminds us to “Never regret having a good heart.  All good things come back and multiply.”  I figure there are so many examples of what not to do in our lives - those examples are all around us really (and yes it’s s...

“Send Coach John a message” Saw a great post from yesterday that really fits every day! I need to keep things like this on my radar every day as many of the things that are out there on a daily basis are things that I don’t want any part of. From Jon Gordon (@JonGordon11) - “#MindsetMonday  Don’t worry about tomorrow. Just win today. Then win the next day and the day after that. That’s how you win...

“Send Coach John a message” Here is another one that I found with the theme of always trying to get better.  From Kevin DeShazo (@KevinDeShazo) “A stressed mind leads to inconsistent actions. A calm mind leads to consistent actions. Win the mental battle. Make your mindset your advantage.”  The mental battle of life is something that I am at least more aware of now that I’ve been connected to more...

“Send Coach John a message” I found two great posts that share a very important message for all of us, especially in today’s age (and really any point in time). First I found this from Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) where this quote was shared: “Those who keep learning will keep rising in life.” - Charlie Munger.   Being a lifelong learner is something that always has more positive benefits than i...

“Send Coach John a message” Went through something a little scary on Thursday, on my way to the hospital for a scheduled surgery. On our drive there, we heard on the radio about an “active shooter” situation at the hospital. Everything in the area was shut down and there was a very heavy police presence in the area. We were maybe 5 minutes away and we quickly pulled into a nearby shopping center p...

“Send Coach John a message” I found a great post that reminded me that I need to be more “tough”.  The Winning Difference (@thewinningdiff1) shared this thought from Kansas State University Men’s Head Basketball Coach, Jerome Tang: "Tough people do the next right thing. Guys, when they mess up, they have to do the next right thing." Champions don’t dwell on the last mistake— they dominat...

“Send Coach John a message” Another post that gets me thinking along with the timely manner in which I saw this - I needed to be reminded about kindness with everything that is going on around us.  Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) strikes again with this message for all of us.  His thoughts on the post are: “A message for today … Kindness has such a powerful ripple effect. Every small act can make a huge d...

“Send Coach John a message” I found something that again, got me reflecting a bit on some thoughts. This one from Psyche Wizard (@PsycheWizard) with a great reminder for me (and hopefully you too) to simply look to keep working hard each and every day for ourselves to be better than we were the day before. “Confidence isn’t thinking you’re better than everyone else, it’s realizing you have no reas...

“Send Coach John a message” Found a post from Mind Essentials (@Mind_Essentials) and I saw this:  “Sometimes it takes 10 years to get that one year that changes your life.”  As I thought about it, it really hit me the truth to that idea in my life, but also for it taking a long time for even one special moment to come available for us. The importance for all of us to keep looking to make good choi...

“Send Coach John a message” Found a very simple quote - yet powerful - from one of the greatest champions of all time - this comes from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi)  “Don't count the days, make the days count.” ― Muhammad Ali.  I’ve been trying to live more in the moment and looking to do things that I need to do so that my days can stack up as great days.  When I start taking my eyes off...

“Send Coach John a message” Picked up a video from Coach Marshall Faulk where he was connected through The Winning Difference (@thewinningdiff1) and they shared this thought from him: "How you do one thing is how you do everything. Effort requires no talent. Hustle requires no talent. You don't have to be the fastest, the strongest, or the smartest to give effort. If you bring effort, wa...

“Send Coach John a message” This came about from a podcast I was listening to from Jon Gordon (@JonGordon11) where he interviewed Major League baseball player and manager, Clint Hurdle (@ClintHurdle13) and they had some great discussions that really connect to life and not just baseball.  Listen to the podcast HERE .  Powerful reminders about how our past can really help with our future, if we pay...

“Send Coach John a message” I found a very cool looking picture of a quote that was on an fluorescent orange colored note card from Hoops Companion Resources for Coaches (@Hoops_Companion) - where it goes way beyond being just for basketball coaches and players, this is for all of us trying to live our best lives! It reads “If you don’t sacrifice for what you want, what you want becomes the sacrif...

“Send Coach John a message” Found something that got me to sit back on do some reflecting on this message.  It comes from Power of Positivity  (@LIVEpositivity)  “What if things work out even better than you imagined?”  It really comes down to at least trying to do something or more than one thing, and realizing that by simply trying, it could indeed work out just like you thought it would.  Maybe...

“Send Coach John a message” Found a powerful and important reminder from Mind Essentials (@Mind_Essentials) that says: “It’s never too late, you can change your routine, your personality, your career, your focus, your circle.  You can change, don’t stay stuck, do better.”  I’m an example that it really is never too late, in fact there are plenty of older people that have proven this to be true!  A...

“Send Coach John a message” Found a quick, but powerful life lesson from Mind Essentials (@Mind_Essentials) - “You can’t go back and change the beginning, But you can start where you are and change the ending.” I know for me I do tend to beat myself up a bit about my past mistakes but I’m realizing more and more as I age that I can only deal with where I’m at right now in my life. I’m much better...
