“Send Coach John a message” Bigtime emotional connection to this post I saw from RelationshipED (@RelationshipEd_) and it’s all about being a safe person. The quote comes from Morgan Richard Olivier.  It reminds me of the simple lesson that we all are carrying worries, burdens, hurt, broken hearts, loneliness, pain, etc., and that we need to be better for other people!! We need to be that safe per...

“Send Coach John a message” Found a fantastic reminder today from Gratitude HQ (@gratefuledu64) where they remind us to “be that one” for others.  A great list here to remind us that one person can indeed make a difference for others and more importantly four ourselves. Love the connection that “one idea can shape the future.” The other one off the list, “one candle can wipe out darkness.”  All of...

“Send Coach John a message” Picked up another great reflection and I found a new connection for awesome info.  Christine Bemis (@ChristineBemis2) along with this: #goodforthesoulmorningwalk, shared this very profound statement to remind us the types of people we need to surround ourselves with.  Inspired, excited and grateful are three awesome types for sure. Also, don’t forget to be those same ty...

“Send Coach John a message” Coach Ray Ostrowski (@CoachRayO3313) came through with some powerful teaching & coaching with this one.  “Don’t worry about the mistakes of yesterday and the worries of tomorrow. TODAY is the day that matters!” He put a whole quote together on his quote board dealing with this gem.  It all deals with yesterday, today and tomorrow. Once again I got a much needed remi...

“Send Coach John a message” Found a big-time truth for this one.  All from Liminal (@Liminal1988) “Things You Probably Won’t Regret.”  Reading through this list, a rather “simple” list of life things, got me doing some deep reflecting for sure. I would be very interested to get some feedback on this episode as it really moved me to keep trying to live my best life.  I hope you find some value in i...

“Send Coach John a message” Found another great post (again, good stuff is out there that can help us throughout life.. just need to find those things) from Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) “A message for today … Things don’t always go perfectly according to plan so don’t judge yourself when things fall short. If you feel like giving up, embrace the power of ‘ONE MORE’. Commit to trying just one more time....

“Send Coach John a message” From a powerful & thought provoking post in our Mental Toughness Group with Ben Newman, there was a recent post that got me thinking.  Truth is, so many of these posts get me reflecting on something for me to get better at in my life and the people in this group, not only are looking to get better in their lives, but they are also looking to help others do the same....

“Send Coach John a message” I found another wonderful reminder and something that I know I’m trying to work towards in my life.  This is brought to you from Gratitude HQ (@gratefuledu64): “One of the happiest moments in life is when you find the courage to let go of what you cannot change.”  So many distractions today and every day, all around us.  Whenever we can figure out how to let go of those...

“Send Coach John a message” This is a very motivating type of show for a Monday, since it involves me connecting with others that just are looking to make a difference with others.  Coach AJ - Mental Fitness (@coachajkings) He’s all about “Building Great Leaders and Better People with actionable ideas on Resilience, Mindset, and Leadership”  Find more at http://thegrowthcompass.beehiiv.com    I sh...

“Send Coach John a message” I wanted to share one of my readings from the morning, in fact yesterday morning, from John Maxwell’s “Daily Reader”.  I have it on my Kindle App on my phone which makes it easy to check out every single morning.  This one dealt with what are the non-negotiables that we have in our life & are we willing to not cave in on them throughout each day.  It’s a good review...

“Send Coach John a message” Great stuff again, from Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) and it’s a reminder for me and all of us.  “Don’t let your bad days trick you into thinking you have a bad life.”  The little ups and downs that we all go through sure do have a tough time tricking us into thinking we are having more than just a bad day, if we can focus on gratitude and a few other things.  It’s som...

“Send Coach John a message” Getting back to some teaching from the “Areté: Activate Your Heroic Potential” book by Brian Johnson and from page 249, there is a section called “Ownish vs. Vicimese”. He makes reference to distinctions between being an “owner” and being a “victim”.  In this episode I share the passage he wrote with all the lessons that go with it.  So many great examples that will hel...

“Send Coach John a message” Woke up this morning a little bit earlier than normal, mostly thanks to our dog… but also because I heard something recently that if you wake up early and your mind is thinking about something that fires you up or something you want to do - it does no good to try and fall back asleep.  Your best bet is to wake up and attack the day. To actually do something about the th...

“Send Coach John a message” Another post from Psyche Wizard (@PsycheWizard) that hit on a very true statement that I know I have to take to hear a bit more. Fear can be (and should be) temporary.  At times in the middle of the fear, we may think it’s permanent, but we get through it and we realize it wasn’t.  If we don’t fight through the fear, the regret will be for sure, more painful than the fe...

“Send Coach John a message” Found a powerful and short statement from Psyche Wizard (@PsycheWizard) that made total sense to me - “This comeback is personal. It’s an apology to myself.” I hope this makes a connection with you too as we all have things that when we look in the mirror, we all have things that we want to fix and do better at. Making peace with myself and my past & implementing le...

“Send Coach John a message” I saw a great clip on Twitter / X, posted from Jon Smith (@jonsmith) and it was from Coach Kirby Smart from the University of Georgia football team.  Part of the post was this: “Why do I tuck in my shirt? Why do I touch the line? A lot of times, players think it’s trivial … but the really smart players will ask ‘why is this important?’” The path to excellence is paved w...

“Send Coach John a message” Couple of things I connected with recently and one of those things I’m so grateful for are friends like Coach Dave Ruekert. Coach and I were talking the other day and he came right out and told me that he appreciated the fact that he saw me as being strong in my self-awareness.  That was a compliment I didn’t see coming and as he brought this up to me, I had a smile on...

“Send Coach John a message” Saw a great thought from Jon Gordon (@jongordon11)  where he mentions something that I know we all probably need to do a little of.  He reminds us that “Pruning is necessary for growth to happen. What looks bad today leads for greater growth and a harvest in the future. Whatever you are going through, trust that a harvest is coming!” This is something that all of us can...

“Send Coach John a message” After having a great start to my day with three different & awesome people, I wanted to tie in this post that I found from Self-Care Canvas (@selfcarecanvas), where they shared this thought:  “Be patient.  Sometimes you have to go through the worst to get the best.”  One of the three was my friend Stan (who’s been on the show before and needs to get on again), as we...

“Send Coach John a message” I found a great reminder on how sports is an awesome teacher of what life is all about.  This is from Sports Psychology (@SportPsychTips) and it’s a reminder we all need to connect to.  “Being mentally tough is about: Giving your best effort. Pushing through discomfort. Focusing on the task at hand. Blocking out distractions. Facing your fears and staying poised under p...

“Send Coach John a message” Here is something great from a guy that I’ve been connected to for a few years.  Alan Stein, Jr. (@AlanSteinJr)  He reminds us that “By rejecting blame, complaints, and excuses, you can foster a more effective, resilient, and positive approach to personal & professional challenges.”  I know that I’ve been guilty of doing all three of these many times throughout my l...

“Send Coach John a message” Love when these posts come across my “timeline” to help remind me of something that, not only do I need to keep getting better, but also I get to share it with others.  Coach the Coaches (@WinningCoaches) come through again with this gem of a reminder:  “Surround yourself with people who are rooting for your rise.” We certainly don’t need to be around people pulling for...

“Send Coach John a message” Saw a great post from Chris C., a longtime friend and high school classmate, who shared this thought from Pope Francis:  “Rivers do not drink their own water; trees do not eat their own fruit; the sun does not shine on itself and flowers do not spread their fragrance for themselves. Living for others is a rule of nature. We are all born to help each other. No matter how...

“Send Coach John a message” Had an amazing chat with my friend Tricia a few days ago that really left a major impact on me and I hope it will leave you with some thoughts too.  She’s part of our Difference Maker group that I’ve been blessed to be part of for a few years now, and she reached out to me to share a powerful story with me.  She was recently with a larger number of her family celebratin...

“Send Coach John a message” Scrolling, scrolling, scrolling… and finding more good stuff to share with you.  Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) comes through again with this thought that caught my eye… “Never regret a day in your life.  Good days give you happiness, bad days give you experience, worst days give you lessons, and best days give you memories.”  One of many things that stood out to me is...
