Coach John Daly - Coach to Expect Success - Podcasts

“Send Coach John a message” I found a list of seven items that people have that helps make them connected to happiness and joy!  This came from Essential Mastery (@EssentialMastry) and the opening connecting words about the list is “real”. I think it is totally real.  Happy People are all about: don’t show off, talk less, learn daily, help others, laugh more, ignore BS and live longer! A very simp...

“Send Coach John a message” I recently saw a post that fits in with so many people that have to choose to let others “flap their gums.” 😂 This is from liminal (@Liminal1988) and its title is “Let them talk.”  This reminds all of us that many people simply love to criticise, condemn, and complain and simply don’t do anything worthwhile themselves. Nothing to help themselves, help others, create th...

“Send Coach John a message” I was listening to another amazing podcast from Mitch Albom and his friend / producer, Lisa Goich and it was all about wisdom. A great episode to check out, listen to it HERE .  It gave me so many ideas that I wanted to share just a few with you in this episode. One for sure that it reminds me to be a constant student!!  Lifelong learning is the way to go for sure. It r...

“Send Coach John a message” I found a post from Ball is Psych (@BallisPsych) that is so true for all of us, not just athletes. The story is connected to Michael Jordan, one of the best basketball players ever to play the game.  It starts out with the thought that “ the easier you are to lead, the further you will go.”  We all need to realize that if we are open to improving, we can go places. That...

“Send Coach John a message” This caught my eye simply because of its simple truth and the fact I’ve been connecting to this idea that we as humans have thousands and thousands of thoughts every single day.  Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) put this out:   “Two things to remember in life: Take care of your thoughts when you are alone, and take care of your words when you are with people.”  I’m...

Get up, carry your bur...

“Send Coach John a message” Found a great list we all can connect to from Seek Wiser (@SeekWiser_) where it’s all about being able to “learn a lot about people from what they lack.” These things are so true about not only what we can learn from others, but also what we can try and learn about ourselves. These areas are so valuable: accountability, communication skills, emotional intelligence, self...

“Send Coach John a message” Found another deep reflective post, this one from Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) where they shared this thought and it’s not just advice for trees.  “Heal the root so the tree is stable.” We are the tree and we need to take care of our foundation so that our branches (and even any “fruit” we produce) which are the things we do and the people we connect with, can...

“Send Coach John a message” I found a reminder that probably needs to get out there a bit more, for a few different reasons. This comes from Mind Essentials (@Mind_Essentials) reminds us that “Strong people don’t put others down … They lift them up.” Sad to say there are way too many examples all around us of people, many so called “leaders” that do the total opposite of this and think they are su...

“Send Coach John a message” Another reminder post from Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) where he shares this: “A message for today … Simplify your life!

“Send Coach John a message” Found another great post from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi), where this was shared: “Goals are for people who care about winning once.

The things we do eve...

“Send Coach John a message” Found an important reminder for me and others on a few things to take on every day. I found this from Jon Beck (@CoachJonBeck) and he shares this: “4 diseases we must fight every day: Negativity, Mediocrity, Comfort and Entitlement. Stay positive, commit to excellence & never be outworked. Surround yourself w/ people who make you happy, laugh, recharge your energy &...

“Send Coach John a message” Found a great thought from one of the great basketball coaches. It’s shared by Coach Mac (@BballCoachMac) and the quote he’s sharing is:  “With the absence of pressure, it's hard to do great things” - Geno Auriemma.  Once again we see that basketball is a great mirror of life. Great things are not supposed to be hard. They are not supposed to be easy. So as we all...

“Send Coach John a message” Found a simple, yet powerful truth for all of us to remember.  This comes from Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity), where we are reminded that we all have problems and none of us are super easy to be with all the time. But, if we find someone that is committed to you and wants to grow with you, despite not being easy to be with, that is something to celebrate and inve...

“Send Coach John a message” As I’m still taking on this bug I have, I saw this post that got me thinking a bit about how each of us has a “culture”.  I found this from Hoop Herald (@TheHoopHerald) where this quote was shared: “Culture and doing things the right way should be the focus every day. Your daily habits are what you lean on when things get hard” - Jay Wright.  As we all have things that...

“Send Coach John a message” Found a great reminder for me and all of us from Allistair McCaw (@AllistairMcCaw) and he brings up the fact that no matter what kind of day we have (some of these are all at once too), the mindset of a champion is to just keep going. Doesn’t have to be at the same speed as we normally might do, but just don’t quit!!  I’m under the weather today - that’s why I wanted to...

“Send Coach John a message” Found another gem, which I shared with some basketball coaches & players and it comes from another coach!  Greg Berge (@gb1121): “Unfair will happen to you. Adversity will happen to you. Ask yourself… - How will you react? - How will you respond? - Which version of you will show up? Train your mind ahead of time. Your response will define you.” This is a powerful re...

“Send Coach John a message” Found another gem from one of my All-Star former students, Coach Ray Ostrowski (@CoachRayO3313) where he is not only sharing good information with his students and his players, but also with anyone like us - at any age.

Control your narrative one page at a time.”  A powerful reminder of a few things that...

“Send Coach John a message” Saw a great post from Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) where they share these “4 things you can't get back… The Stone after it’s thrown. The Word after it’s said.

“Send Coach John a message” Found a gem from The Winning Difference (@thewinningdiff1) and it’s a great lesson for all of us from one of the best coaches that has ever helped be a leader & encourager for young people. “Never compromise your principles; never lower your standards.

“Send Coach John a message” Found a very powerful thought from Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) “Those who died yesterday had a plan for this morning. And those who died this morning had plans for tonight. Don’t take life for granted. In the blink of an eye, everything can change. So forgive often and love with a full heart. You never know when you may not have that chance again.” This got me thinki...

“Send Coach John a message” Found another fabulous post from Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) and truthfully, I’m starting to look for his posts more often too.
