Coach John Daly - Coach to Expect Success - Podcasts

“Send Coach John a message” Inside our Mental Toughness Academy with Ben Newman (from the Burn Podcast), I find connections to people every single day.  Recently I found a post that really got me reflecting. It comes from Gerald Brian, one of the many people in this group that I get the pleasure of learning from and getting to know a little bit too. Gerald posted this: “The key to success is not j...

“Send Coach John a message” Found another great reminder that I think many in the world need to remind themselves of, about what is truly impressive.  The Mindfulness Meditation Institute (@TrainingMindful) gives us a fantastic reminder.   It’s not the money, status, job titles, etc. It really comes down to how we treat others.  There seems to be plenty of examples all over the place of how to NOT...

“Send Coach John a message” When you are looking for good things… they usually show up.  I found another good thing from Jon Gordon (@JonGordon11) and he puts out the intro: “What is Grit? Here’s my formula.” It’s a very easy to understand “formula” that we all can connect with and use in our lives.  There are so many to connect with and for me, a guy that wasn’t great with math or science formula...

“Send Coach John a message” Found another super reminder (maybe it’s just for me) that got me reflecting on some recent events and how I react.  Tiny Buddha (@tinybuddha) posts this:  ““Life becomes more peaceful when you truly understand and embody the idea that you can’t keep stressing over what’s beyond your control. Life will happen, and people will do and say what they want. All you can do is...

“Send Coach John a message” I connected with a different post here, and it was good timing for me with what is going on around us for sure.  Strong Minded (@strongminded101) reminds us about this truth - “It’s not time that heals. It’s what you do with that time.”  There is a lot of healing that is always needed throughout life, for every single human that has been on earth. Seems recently, we nee...

“Send Coach John a message” Found a great connection with a recent post and Mitch Albom’s Tuesday People Podcast.  Find the link HERE for his interview with Aaron Lazar where he is sharing the story of his diagnosis with ALS and the fact that he’s not caught up with wasting his time on things that he can’t control and don’t represent any value to his life.  The post came from Reads with Ravi (@rea...

“Send Coach John a message” Found a great thought here to take on a bit more of reflection for all of us.   I know I’m taking it on for sure.  From Psyche Wizard (@PsycheWizard) - “Life is not about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself.” - George Bernard Shaw.  The journey we are all on is more about a continuous creation of ourselves, rather than finding ourselves along the way.  Our...

“Send Coach John a message” Mind Essentials (@Mind_Essentials)  This first one reminds us that if we don’t sacrifice for our goals and dreams, those goals and dreams may end up being sacrificed for the work we didn’t do. With time going by so fast, it seems to me that I have a lot more work & effort I need to put into making some dreams / goals a reality.  How about you?  On the second plate f...

“Send Coach John a message” Found a great pair of posts that I wanted to share with you to start off this week. First, Inspiration & More (@LifeWithJohn) comes at us with a very simple yet powerful reminder:  “People wait all week for Friday, all year for summer, all a lifetime for happiness.  Be happy today!”   No sense in putting things off to wait to have some joy and happiness in your life...

“Send Coach John a message” Starting a new leap of faith here as I’ve been talking about getting guests back onto my show for awhile now & due to many people and things being tossed in my face and telling me to get going on this, here we go!  My first guest in this new format is a friend of a friend who is now a friend of mine.  Craig Lindeman begins to share his impactful and powerful story a...

“Send Coach John a message” Once again, things seem to pop up when I need to see them, think about them, reflect on them, get inspired, etc.  This one came up from The Mindfulness Meditation Institute (@TrainingMindful) “Shoutout to everyone who…”  We are all battling in life, probably on a few different fronts and probably more than one at a time.  It’s one of the things that help define us as hu...

“Send Coach John a message” Found something that truly hit the target with 100% accuracy for me (and probably almost everyone else too), From Strong Minded (@strongminded101): “True strength is staying calm, in a world that tests your patience.”  I think anytime we venture out of our place of residence, we get tested.  Many times it happens even at home, but that’s the way life is.  I’ve been work...

“Send Coach John a message” Had a fired up day today and I wanted to share a bit about it in this episode. First of all, I had a great conversation with a friend who’s looking to help others through the problems he has had in life.  That conversation I hope to have coming out on Sunday - in a new idea, “Sunday conversations with Coach John”.  (We’ll see how it goes).  Then after I got done with th...

“Send Coach John a message” Had a busy day yesterday where I went to a funeral for the mom of a longtime friend of mine.  We have been friends for roughly 53 years and her mom was in her early 90’s when she passed away.  The church was crowded of course with the impact her mom made on so many people. I also got to spend some time with my parents before the service at their house and then also at t...

“Send Coach John a message” Found another great reminder for me to share with you - this one coming from Emily Paschall (@EmilyAPaschall) and she brings us a great quote from Todd Whitaker.  The quote is “I don’t know if being positive solves problems, but I do know being negative doesn’t.”  The problem is there - no matter what we think. To get through it or to solve it, it does make a difference...

“Send Coach John a message” Found this great reminder from TeacherGoals (@teachergoals) and it really is an important message for each and every one of us. “I don’t care who’s doing better than me.  I am doing better than I was last year.  It’s me vs. me.”  In today’s age of people blaming others for how they are doing in life, it really comes down to remembering that we in fact control our own ch...

“Send Coach John a message” Connecting with a quote I shared from a previous show. I found it from Devin Scillian’s (@DevinScillian) goodbye message when he announced he was retiring from our NBC affiliate here in the Detroit area, WDIV and he shared a quote from his friend Tom Sorrels when talking about him trying to decide about retiring. Tom said, “It’s later than you think.”  Meaning if there...

“Send Coach John a message” Another great reminder came my way today from a wonderful difference maker, Coach Ray Ostrowski (@CoachRayO3313) who is a former student that I got to know while working during a few of my 34 years in teaching and now he is an awesome teacher & coach himself.  He’s not only helping his students and players, but plenty of people like me.   Part of what he said as int...

“Send Coach John a message” Found a great reminder, and again, it was right when I needed it.  I didn’t scroll too far when I saw this from Andrew Taylor (@andrewtaylor09) where he reminded me (and all of us) that  “All you can control in life is your effort and your attitude. Effort is how hard you try. Attitude is how you respond.”  This is attributed to many people, but he made the connection f...

“Send Coach John a message” Coming at  you today like a soup recipe, putting a few different ingredients in the meal for today.  First coming from the book “Areté” written by Brian Johnson, and a section all about the etymology energy really means?  It’s tied into work + love.  I took the approach here with the help of a basketball coach, Joe Mazzulla explained why he doesn’t feel pressure from th...

“Send Coach John a message” Found 3 distinct things that were posted this morning from Coach Ray Ostrowski (@CoachRayO3313), Mark Hickie (@MPHickie), and Jon Gordon (@JonGordon11) which all three of them reminded me about embracing challenges that come up (which they do every day), along with looking for the lessons to learn from them.  Look to set ego aside when looking to do better & help ot...

“Send Coach John a message” Found a great post from a high school classmate that really hit home - and it brings home some important reminders about life.  Here is the poem from Sophia Andreeva - 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, life goes by. Later, you...

“Send Coach John a message” Every time I read a passage from the book “Areté” written by Brian Johnson, I find some tremendous value from each lesson.  This one is something that I wanted to make sure I shared with you.  It’s titled “Saws vs. Chainsaws - It all always starts with energy.”  He’s referring back to Stephen Covey’s “7 Habits” masterful book and it’s lesson #7, Sharpen the Saw! It’s ab...

“Send Coach John a message” I’m a student again.. in fact, every day of my life I’m still a student where I’m getting the opportunity to learn, be inspired and walk away better than before I saw this post from Coach Ray Ostrowski (@CoachRayO3313).  The struggle is real!!  Love the line: “If you want to get better it’s absolutely essential.”  Just knowing that each and every day, life will give us...

“Send Coach John a message” From my morning readings today, namely John Maxwell’s “Daily Reader” I found a fabulous reminder that ties in a lot for me.  It not only reminds me (and I’m sharing this to remind you as well) about having the willingness to take great risks towards the things I want to do and not play it so safe so often.  It also reminds me more to write things down - goals, dreams, e...
