Coach John Daly - Coach to Expect Success - Podcasts

“Send Coach John a message” Another home run hit here by Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) and this is one to take a moment to let it sink in & keep with you.  This was a powerful reminder for me to throw that switch and change the way I think about when things are “happening to me” and look at them for the lessons that they can offer me to get better. Since life will never stop teaching, I figur...

“Send Coach John a message” Found this post that really was personal - it kind of hurt. You see, I’m holding both hands in the air about having way too many excuses.  This is what I said introducing this post: “Very personal.. ouch!! Totally true for me & the guy looking back in the mirror.!!” This all came from Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) and the personal post said - “In six months...

“Send Coach John a message” Found some big-time truths here, that once again, I needed reminding on.  Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) shared this quote with all of us from Carl Jung, “Thinking is difficult, that’s why most people judge.”  Now, I’ve judged plenty throughout my life & for a long time I’m working to do it less AND to try and get rid of it all together.  I’m also trying very hard...

“Send Coach John a message” So many of these things that come across my “desk” throughout the day, really get me to pause and do some thinking - this one was one of those for sure.  In fact, this is what I shared when I reposted it: “Wow... powerful reflection here.. I needed this for sure!!”  I am totally open to connecting to things that I know that I not only need to be reminded of or taught, b...

“Send Coach John a message” Found a fantastic reminder that I needed and maybe others do too.  From Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) where they remind all of us “Don’t expect anyone to understand your journey, especially if they haven’t walked your path.”  Right on target! This got me thinking about a couple of different thoughts. First, those that are close to us, in our inner circle, that we love...

“Send Coach John a message” I needed a boost of Positivity today and I found it in a few different sources, but this one hit the target for sure.  Hope it does for you too.  From Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) they shared this thought for all of us to reflect upon a bit:  “Never quit something that makes your heart smile. You may pause. You may take longer, but just don’t quit.” I needed th...

“Send Coach John a message” This was another eye-opening and heart-connecting post that I found and of course, I know there are others that it will connect with too.  This comes from Seek Wiser (@SeekWiser_) and here it is: “Don’t leave anything for later. Later, the coffee gets cold. Later, you lose interest. Later, the day turns into night. Later, people grow up. Later, people grow old. Later, l...

“Send Coach John a message” Success leaves clues all over the place and this nugget comes from Lorraine Woodrow (@Woodrow Lorraine) and it’s a great one to reflect upon for sure.  She begins this thought with “One of the most underrated ingredients for having a good life is a clear conscious.” It ends with “...Karma is real, energy is contagious. Live accordingly.” This is a good thing to sit back...

“Send Coach John a message” This is something that I found very interesting and very true! Again, something I need to work on in a bigtime way! It’s a great way to remember not to let someone’s brief negative thought or action towards us, and let it ruin an entire day (or even longer). This is something that I have let bother me overnight at times, and ruin a decent night’s sleep.  That can’t happ...

“Send Coach John a message” Sat down with a couple of wonderful guys that have a lot to share and to more importantly help others.  Coach Dave Ruekert is someone that you know through my show for sure. He’s got a longtime good friend in Coach Ryan Mills and Ryan reached out to Dave a while back, wanting some way of telling his story in order to help others.  Ryan has many things he is dealing with...

“Send Coach John a message” History teaches some wonderful lessons, if you are willing to pay attention. This one comes from Wisdom (@Wisdom_HQ) and they are connecting with a big-time historical figure, Winston Churchill who said “Success is walking from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.”  Since we all stumble, fall, fail, get distracted, etc., having an attitude of enthusiasm to get...

“Send Coach John a message” Found a great connection to Thanksgiving here from Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) and it really got me thinking about how grateful I should be each and every day!  Here was my intro to the post I shared on Twitter / X: “Powerful reminder … even when I’m thinking / feeling that I’m having a “horrible” day… there are so many people throughout the world that would be smili...

“Send Coach John a message” Found another great reminder from a longtime connection that I have had to finding successful clues.  Alan Stein, Jr. (@AlanSteinJr) brings up this very important point that we all can use in life.  “Blaming, complaining, and making excuses will never move you forward or make your situation better.” There have been times in my life where I thought that one of these 3 (u...

“Send Coach John a message” Saw a smart little reminder from Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) where they shared this powerful reminder - “Accept both compliments and criticism. It takes both sun and rain for a flower to grow.”  That’s something that not only life throws at us - both the sun and rain, but we also do it to ourselves. I think we need to make a conscious choice to watch how we do this w...

“Send Coach John a message” Found some great advice that has been echoed so many times from Gary Vee (@garyvee) but it’s connected this time to: Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) “Never wish them pain; that’s not who you are. If they caused you pain, wish them healing.” There seems to be “mud” being thrown all over the place these days. Bad-mouthing others, blaming others, gossiping about othe...

“Send Coach John a message” Going a little deep emotionally on this post as I found one that really has connected to some other things that I have found lately.  This one comes from Kylie Riordan (@mindfulheal) where she shares a quote from Terri St. Cloud and here it is: “And if, when it is all over, I’m asked what I did with my life, I want to be able to say “I offered Love!””  WOW!  Since we ar...

“Send Coach John a message” Found another item to get me reflecting on being my best. I’ve come to find that I not only look forward to working hard on being my best, but also I know I need to.  A couple of great coaches shared this one.  Coach AJ Mental Fitness (@coachajkings) shared this post with some thoughts from Coach Jay Wright where he shared this gem:  “The greatest characteristic you can...

“Send Coach John a message” I think it’s safe to say that we all want to be at our best, I know I want to be my best.  It takes a conscious effort to do that.  Jon Gordon (@JonGordon11) had a great post that got me zeroed in on this. He shared this thought: “No one ever became their best by focusing on someone else’s flaws.  Look for the best in others.” At times I will focus my attention towards...

“Send Coach John a message” Found a very eye-opening post that hit me - not just because I love basketball, as basketball (sports in general) have nothing to do with this one - but I simply love the term that was used here.  I found this from Ball is Psych (@BallisPsych) “Michael Jordan was once asked what he thought his best skill was. He didn’t say it was his ability to dunk from the free throw...

“Send Coach John a message” Saw this post and it helped me tremendously at the moment I needed to see it. Just kind of got off into a bit of a rut this morning as I ran some errands.  I caught my focus going in directions that were not good for me. Negativity, things that were bringing me down, etc. Sam Crowley says it a lot, where our focus goes - that’s where our energy flows!!  I’m glad I reali...

“Send Coach John a message” Found a great & powerful (yet short) post that I think will help anyone who just takes a few moments to listen to it and think about how you can use it more in your life.  I know it will help me tremendously.  This comes from The Mindfulness Meditation Institute (@TrainingMindful) "The real test is being kind to unkind people." This is one of the more diff...

“Send Coach John a message” A couple of coaches shared a question that all of us can ask ourselves.  This is posted from my former student and current teacher & head varsity football coach, Coach Ray Ostrowski (@CoachRayO3313) and he asks a question: “Which are you? Disciplined, or undisciplined? - It doesn’t matter how you feel. ‘Feeling good’ is temporary; it comes and goes. The disciplined...

“Send Coach John a message” Stumbled across a reminder that I needed and it came from Damon West (@damonwest7) “Don't forget that being a Coffee Bean starts with YOU! Create positivity from the inside out and not the outside in.” This reminder came of course at a time when I needed to hear it and I hope it’s the same for you too. There are a number of good points here for all of us to take in...

“Send Coach John a message” Woke up early this morning as I not only was looking forward to a good cup of coffee to start my day off with, but I was also feeling a little bit worried about things, feeling anxious too.  I’m trying to take those things on with more meditation / prayer, along with “doing something” instead of worrying & feeling anxiety.  So, I was compelled to get up and do some...

“Send Coach John a message” Found a powerful connection to a podcast from Ben Newman.  His podcast called “The Burn” had a guest Mathiew Wilson and they shared some so many amazing lessons that we all can learn from.  This is a must listen to - find it HERE .  It gets me thinking of the things I can do (and need to do) every single day! It’s a reminder that the only one we are competing against, i...
