Coach John Daly - Coach to Expect Success - Podcasts

“Send Coach John a message” I found a gem from a hall of famer, Nancy Lieberman (@NancyLieberman) who shared this truth:  “Life is so ironic, it takes sadness to know what happiness is, noise to appreciate silence and absence to value presence.”  These are simple truths that I usually don’t think about too much. Now that I was reminded about it - these sure do make sense. I also need to seek them...

“Send Coach John a message” I found a powerful and simple statement from Kylie Riordan (@mindfulheal) that I connected with in yesterday’s podcast.  “When we understand that each day isn’t one more day, but one less, we start giving more value to what truly matters.”  I guess it’s easier to see the truth in this statement as we get older. The key is to not wait too long to connect with it and allo...

“Send Coach John a message” I was doing some looking for things to inspire, teach, remind and get me to do some reflecting… and I found this from Bob Starkey (@CoachBobStarkey).  You can also connect with him HERE on his blog site.  Coach shared:  “Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow.” ~ Anthony J. D’Angelo.  It’s something that I discussed with a few friends &a...

“Send Coach John a message” I really enjoy days where I can find a simple reminder that has a lot of power behind it.  Today’s reminder comes from Roy T. Bennett (@InspiringThinkn) where he reminds us about this:  “Faith, hope, love, and truth form the pillars of life; without them, nothing truly stands.” (Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart)  I am reminded about these pillars of life that I ne...

“Send Coach John a message” My connection with John O’Leary keeps getting stronger as I continue to see what a difference maker he is for people. A recent podcast from him had this description “It is rarely the brightest lights or biggest personalities that change the world most profoundly. Far more often and far more importantly, it’s ordinary people quietly choosing to use whatever gifts they ha...

“Send Coach John a message” Going back to back here my friends as I connect with Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) again on a very thought provoking & taking a deep breath type of moment.  This lesson he introduces with his thoughts first:  “We spend so much energy regretting wrong decisions, failed attempts & lost time. Often detours are what help us discover who we truly are. Every mistake carries...

“Send Coach John a message” Love the daily reminders and lessons I get from Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) and this one really got me thinking about a few things.  Mark’s intro to the post was this:  “A message for today … Everyone is on their own unique journey. Appreciate the people who cross your path, cherish the lessons they leave behind & move forward with gratitude and purpose. Walk your path...

“Send Coach John a message” I found a powerful reminder that I know I need to take with me every day and I also know, FOR SURE, that others need to remember this too. It comes from Gary Hensel (@gary_hensel) and it is this:  “Blowing out someone else’s candle doesn’t make yours shine any brighter.” We have way too much of people blowing out others’ candles thinking that it’s ok, and also that it m...

“Send Coach John a message” I always love seeing some of the same strong people, who continue to post things on a regular basis that help others.  A former student of mine who is now a fabulous teacher and coach, Coach Ray Ostrowski (@CoachRayO3313) is definitely one of those people that are a quality difference maker for others.  Here is his intro for the post I saw today: “Your % matters. You ca...

“Send Coach John a message” I found a new connection for this episode, and even if it’s coming out a tad late, I still had to share it with you. It’s from Bob Coniglio (@BobConiglio) and his message that goes with the quote is to “Enjoy the day.”  The thought he shared was this:  “Connection is why we’re here.  It is what gives purpose and meaning to our lives.”  ~ Brene Brown.  Life is indeed all...

“Send Coach John a message” I came across not only a post from Jon Gordon (@JonGordon11) but I also just picked up a copy of his latest book “The Power of Positive Habits”.  Great stuff in my quest to just keep trying to get better and be my best version of myself. The post was this:  “There’s nothing more powerful than a humble person with a warrior spirit who is driven by a bigger purpose.”  I l...

“Send Coach John a message” Found a great conversation that Greg Berge (@GregBerge) shared with a recent post. This thought was what the focus was on:  “The lie we tell ourselves. Once we win one I’ll be happy.” - Sean McVay LA Rams Head Coach on Winning a Super Bowl.  Greg goes on to say “that Winning doesn’t fill the void. It just moves the finish line. The real joy? The grind. The growth. The p...

“Send Coach John a message” Found this gem from Kylie Riordan (@mindfulheal)  and it’s one that I haven’t really connected with this thought before. This is the new connection to kindness for me.  “Kindness is loaning someone your strength instead of reminding them of their weakness.”  I love this thought.  Encouraging others, lifting them up; more than pointing out something they might need to fi...

“Send Coach John a message” I found a fantastic reminder from Overmind (@overmind01) where this little gem was shared with everyone:  “8 billion people on Earth.  Almost none know you exist.  The few who do are too busy to care.  Relax.  No one’s watching.  Go build your life.”  So much to digest out of these few sentences.  Reminding ourselves that just about everyone on this planet doesn't...

“Send Coach John a message”  I stumbled across a post from Seek Wiser (@SeekWiser_) today that got me thinking about a few things. This was the quote that caught my eye today:  “Positions are temporary. Titles are limited. But how you treat people is always remembered.”  Once again, the world needs more of this. I know I keep mentioning this in my podcasts, but it’s true. We can all do a better jo...

“Send Coach John a message” The Mindfulness Meditation Institute (@TrainingMindful) shared a very powerful and short reminder for all of us.  “Be an encourager. The world has plenty of critics already.” - Dave Willis.  I may have shared something close to this quote in the past, but I know I needed to share it today for sure. All of us need to look to encourage others AND ourselves. There are so m...

“Send Coach John a message” I connected with this guy again, as it’s been awhile since I’ve shared something from Coach AJ  / Mental Fitness (@coachajkings). This one is a reminder of some pure gold basics in life. It comes from football coach, Dabo Swinney who said, "It's the optimists who change the world." Success starts with your mindset and what you do every single day. A bad a...

“Send Coach John a message” I found one simple sentence that to me was a very powerful post. It comes from Overmind (@overmind01) and here is the sentence: “Real education starts after you leave school.”  Yes sir, 100% right on target for sure. Think of what you are “learning” every day!! “Education” itself simply does not mean in a formal school setting. That’s where it starts of course, but real...

“Send Coach John a message” There has been a young lady who is in the battle of her life with ALS, that I’ve been following for a few years. A recent post I saw was her taking questions that she is answering about her journey. Her name is Sarah Nauser (@SarahNauser) and her bio on her Twitter / X account says this: “Dominating ALS one day at a time since 2018. Retired Police Officer. “Love the lif...

“Send Coach John a message” Love this post that came across my “wires” today. It comes from Drew Maddux (@DrewMaddux) and he shares this thought about the quote I will share with you as “Life’s highest calling... Pick up the Trash...leave people, places, and things better than you found them! Every conversation matters. Every interaction matters. Every encounter is an opportunity to bring life, ho...

“Send Coach John a message” I found an amazing post with unbelievable timing. This really hit home as we just lost my uncle earlier this morning. He had a long, long life as he was in his early 90’s. He fought with many different battles over the last few years - cancer and Alzheimer's to name just two of his battles. This quote hit home for me:  “The people we love and have lost don’t just s...

“Send Coach John a message” From Jon Gordon (@JonGordon11) came this gem on what he calls a “MindsetMonday”.  “Don’t let old battles keep you from new victories.”  I’ve done this plenty of times. Keep re-hashing something in my head from my past that is holding me back from my current day / in the moment things I should be doing. This became clear again not because I saw this post, but actually go...

“Send Coach John a message” I saw this post that connected directly to one of my favorite all-time shoes, Ted Lasso. This post was from one of the characters on the show, Higgins and it was one of so many life lessons shared on the show. In a conversation with another character, Roy - Higgins mentioned this to him: “Human beings are never going to be perfect, Roy. The best we can do is keep asking...

“Send Coach John a message” What an amazing, emotional and inspiring conversation I had with another former student of mine, Eli’Ana Klemm. This was a powerful conversation all connected to her recent book, " Resilient " (click the title for the link) and the lessons she learned from extreme loss and injury when she was young. Eli’Ana shares so many lessons of life in this conversation t...

“Send Coach John a message” For my last pre-recorded, post surgery episode (hopefully), I’m leaning on a legend.  John C. Maxwell (@TheJohnCMaxwell) is someone that has been around for a very long time. I remember for most of my life knowing who this guy is and finding my way to being connected to his teachings. This one is a gem that he shares with us today. “The only guarantee that tomorrow is g...
