Coach John Daly - Coach to Expect Success - Podcasts

“Send Coach John a message” Saw this powerful reminder about how bad days don’t last and since we all have them at one time or another, I thought it would be a good reminder for all of us.  I know I’ve been focusing on when they do sneak up on me, for me to not hang out with them for very long. I’ve been working hard on my reaction to “not great moments” and hopefully having them not last too long...

“Send Coach John a message” Found a great post that actually looked like an old newspaper article.  It came from liminal (@Liminal1988)  and it reminds us to “Focus on making progress, not perfection.”  It helps us to see the importance of having patience in our lives - which seems hard to do just about every day.  Our growth as a human being is a journey and that journey goes through all of life...

“Send Coach John a message” In my regular podcast listening mode, I came across a recent show from Ben Newman (@ContinuedFight) and it was a hard hitting, eye-opening and a powerful motivator to get the word out about an important cause that connects with so many people.  I am suggesting you check this one out as soon as you can and then share it with others too.  It’s all about “eliminating the w...

“Send Coach John a message” More great info that I found from Psyche Wizard (@PsycheWizard) and a followup connection to Mindset Mantra (@mind_metamorph) and it’s all about something that we can do for ourselves. It’s all about self-discipline and how it can solve a BIG CHUNK of our problems that we have.  Most people always look for a quick fix on things in life. This is one of them, but it’s som...

“Send Coach John a message” Found a great & simple reminder from Mind Essentials (@Mind_Essentials) where three sentences empower us to think and act differently. “Don’t complicate life.  We won’t be here forever.  Your time is too valuable to waste on nonsense.” This one hit hard today as I saw a post from a former student of mine who just lost her husband. Her and her family are devastated &...

“Send Coach John a message” Over a period of about 4.5 hours yesterday I got four different signs / reminders about doing things in life and not holding back from giving it my all-out effort.  John O’Leary’s recent podcasts (listen to them here: Episodes 712 & 713 ) and our monthly online meeting with our Live Inspired group was yesterday.  He, his staff and his guest all connected this point...

“Send Coach John a message” Found another great little item that I picked up to share with you & I found some tremendous value with this one.  From Lorraine Woodrow (@Woodrow Lorraine) this truth came out that I think we all need to connect with a little better.  It’s so easy to judge others, but when I do it (which sadly happens way too often), I end up causing myself more troubles for sure. ...

“Send Coach John a message” It’s football season of course & whether you are a fan or not, there are still tons of lessons you can learn from this and sports in general.  This lesson comes from The Winning Difference (@thewinningdiff1) and it comes from Coach Kirby Smart from the University of Georgia where he’s reminding us not to be a blamer. Coach mentions, “Don’t be a blame guy. That’s the...

“Send Coach John a message” Found a very simple and short thought here posted from Reads with Ravi (@readswithravi) along with the quote being from Rumi.  “The quieter you become, the more you can hear.”  There is total truth in this short sentence.  In today’s world it seems there is not any time where we do not have noise and distractions.  It takes a focused decision to make sure we slow down a...

“Send Coach John a message” Love this message today & it comes from Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) where part of it reminds us that:  “ … The words are simple. You are enough. There is no perfection. You were made to be you, as you are, on purpose. It is no mistake that you are this person, in this place, at this time. You are enough & your enough is what changes the world.”  He goes on to share...

“Send Coach John a message” Found an amazing reminder for all of us and it’s connected with something that hopefully we see everyday.  It’s taking advice from a tree and this great reminder comes to us from Gratitude HQ (@gratefuledu64) and they introduce these thoughts with this one:  “We draw wisdom from all different sources — but maybe we should look more closely at nature for inspiration and...

This guy is one who shares these clues every single day in many different ways.  Ben Newman has his Burn Podcast - this episode was pure gold.  This episode titled “A Strong Lesson in Taking Ownership” , has so many nuggets in it, I’ve already listened to it twice. I will listen to it again soon.  Here is the...

“Send Coach John a message” In part 2 - here is a great reminder about “stacking bricks” or adding them to our foundation of our lives - where we focus more on the relationships of our past to help us to become better for today and in our future. The life lessons we learn and the people we learn them with are such an important part of our lives.  Keep stacking bricks and adding logs to that fire o...

“Send Coach John a message” High School reunions don’t come around all the time - and certainly each of them really only come around once. That’s the case with my 40th reunion that happened this past weekend. This is part 1 - some reflections in the middle of it, mainly coming from me taking some time to drive around my old neighborhood a bit and having a TON of great memories.  It’s all about the...

“Send Coach John a message” Found a post from Jon Gordon (@jongordon11) that reminded me about how important the little things in life are AND the fact that they do lead to bigger things that others will see!  It’s worth it to keep investing in ourselves, keep working hard so that the little things we do in our lives will lead to us being difference makers for others.  Thanks for listening.  Pleas...

“Send Coach John a message” We all go through many changes throughout our life & some of them can of course be scary. When I find things like this one, from Mark Hickie (@MPHickie), it reminds me about the importance of connecting with others to help us get through the challenges we all face.  Mark reminds us that “Growth throughout the chapters in our life implies the reality that we must tra...

“Send Coach John a message” Simple message today. Not easy to do I guess since I’m still working on this today and all throughout my life.  From, Self-Care Canvas (@selfcarecanvas) brings us this powerful thought (for me it actually is more like a punch in the gut).  “If you’re serious about changing your life, you’ll find a way. If not, you'll find an excuse.”  I’m being honest in reflecting...

“Send Coach John a message” Again… so many things out there to pick up to add value to your life and what you want to do - here is another example.  Found this recently from The Winning Difference (@thewinningdiff1) " Everything you do is going to impact your future. So eliminate as many things that don't matter and focus on the things that really do. And, make those matter all the time....

“Send Coach John a message” Found a post here that connected to a total of four people with the same message.. all about being humble!  Kurt Warner (@kurt13warner) posted this powerful clip from Inky Johnson (@inkyjohnson) and a few thoughts on the importance of humility in our lives. It’s all about being coachable. Realizing you don’t know everything and that you stay hungry to keep getting bette...

“Send Coach John a message” Such a simple & totally true message for all of us to remember to just keep going!!  Psyche Wizard (@PsycheWizard) shares this, “No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you are still way ahead of everyone who isn’t trying.” - Tony Robbins.   Just keep trying!!  Don’t quit!

“Send Coach John a message” Going back to the author of one of my favorite books of all time, “The Coffee Bean”  - Damon West (@damonwest7 ) who reminds us to  “Let your actions and attitude enhance the next room you walk into and watch the ripple effect of your choices.”  A great reminder for me that my actions and attitude are two things that I have direct control over.  This is why it’s so impo...

“Send Coach John a message” I never cease to be amazed at how some things come at me that tie in together. I first got a message from my friend Denyse (part of our Difference Maker group) that when she got up this morning and opened up her Spotify - a podcast of mine from May 6 popped up. She doesn’t know how or why that one was the one that came up.  But she listened to it and it was what she nee...

“Send Coach John a message” Found a bigtime reflective thought here from TeacherGoals (@teachergoals) which reminds us that maybe we are so tired not because we are doing too many things, but maybe we are not doing the thing(s) that light a spark inside of us??  It’s one of those things I think that brings us more energy when we are using our time to go after things that inspire us & fire us u...

“Send Coach John a message” A gem of a thought here from Success Minded (@_SuccessMinded_) where they remind us that “The secret to success is believing in yourself.” This is a great reminder for all of us I hope, but I know it is a BIG reminder for me.  I’ve been focusing on this one a lot lately.  Not just focusing, but intentionally focusing in on improving my belief in myself - thanks to Ben N...
