Coach John Daly - Coach to Expect Success - Podcasts

Simple and powerful post from Gary Hensel (@gary_hensel) where he shared this: “The light you hold is brighter than any darkness. When in darkness be the light.” There are many times that there seems to be more darkness than ever and not just because we are heading into winter. There are issues and events going on around us and around the world where we need more light to shine brightly. There are many ways to do it and they do not...

Found a super short post from Words of Wise | Mindset Coach (@Wordofwise_) for the second day in a row and this one is just as powerful as the other one. Great reminder for all of us: “Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.” When we take a look at the simplicity of this thought, we can usually see that whatever is going on in our lives - we are where we are. That is a good place to start as it’s really the only pl...

Found a very fired up post from Words of Wise | Mindset Coach (@Wordofwise_) that reminds all of us that we can do great things that others can’t take away from us.  “You become unstoppable when you work on things people can’t take away from you. Things like your character, habits, mindset, and attitude.” These are some of the things that we have total control over along with that we have a choice if we want to give up control of t...

Started my day out connecting to an old friend, Sam Crowley and his podcast. He got me thinking about something that I needed to connect with - I need to be more curious about things that light me up! Listen HERE for this episode from him. Things that inspire and get me excited about my life. Things I want to help others with and to simply be the best me that I can be. There are so many things out there that I can find information ...

I found a great reminder for all of us when it comes to creating something special in our life and the fact that there are tons of distractions out there that we need to filter through. From Jon Gordon (@JonGordon11) he shares this thought from his book “The Carpenter” - “To create something special you have to care more about what you are creating than the distractions vying for your attention.”  Well, seeing that there are tons o...

I stumbled upon some thoughts about failure recently from a couple of great sources of learning about failure. Gary Vaynerchuk (@garyvee) recently shared a post where he reminded us that since we are human, we are indeed terrible at some things - but that doesn’t mean we are terrible as a person. When we lose at something - meaning we fail at something, that doesn’t mean we are a loser or a failure. The mindset and perspective on t...

A little different episode today, right from the heart. The story today is about the power of relationships and the times throughout our life where they come back to us so that we can continue learning and growing. BIG shoutout to an incredible former student and player that is connected to this story and the powerful & inspiring lessons that she is still teaching me today! This one is one of many lessons that connect each and ...

I really enjoy seeing these posts from Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) every day where he always offers some form of encouragement.  “A message for today … A reminder: growth takes time, patience & courage — especially in moments no one sees. Every small step you take now is building a future you’ll be proud of. Keep going even when it’s hard. One day, the future you will be so grateful you didn’t give up.”  This is something that I se...

Haven’t shared much from this guy in awhile and this one struck me as something I needed to get out there.  Coach AJ - Mental Fitness (@coachajkings) shared this from legendary football coach Nick Saban, "Complacency creates a blatant disregard for doing what is right." "Success is momentary, it's not continuous." We are reminded from Coach AJ as he shares some of his thoughts connected to this  - “Success ...

Just saw this post that had a great connection to today (Monday), but really it's any day that this will work with.  From POSITIVITY (@PositivitySaid) - “Monday: New day. New week. New Mindset. New focus. New start. New intentions. New results. Make it a great one.” Now this simple little post helped me to see not only some options for making this day a great one, but helping to make my future a better one too. These choices a...

I was listening to Mitch Albom’s “Tuesday People” Podcast (@wetuesdaypeople) and you can find the recent episode - click on:  “The Words We Wished We’d Spoken” (Episode 242) and he was sharing some thoughts that he has gotten from many people on his book tour for “Twice”. His new book is another homerun for him and I would agree with so many others that have read it. It’s one you will get you thinking about your life and the change...

From the School of Hard Knocks (@theschoolofhardknockz) on Instagram, I caught a quick interview of a billionaire where he mentioned something his dad told him - “We grow old to soon and wise too late.” I think that is so true. Wisdom comes with experience and obviously experience comes with age. Experience also comes with taking action in life. That is something all of us can do more of for sure, especially for me. Part of growing...

I came across a powerful reminder from TeacherGoals (@teachergoals) and this reminds us that “Character counts”.  The quote is something that I know I need to focus on a bit more and I know that our world would be much better if we all connected with this more too - “I’m not impressed by your looks, money, social status or job title. I’m impressed by the way you treat other human beings.”  We have plenty of examples, sad to say, of...

Amazing post from Clint Hurdle (@ClintHurdle13) which got me thinking about a few things.  This post sums up how all of us can do more and be more for others.  Clint shared this:  “Every morning when my feet hit the ground, my first thought is: Lord, let me be a simple man in a complex world. Let me be a source of encouragement for others. Let me be some light for others.  I tip my hat to my son Christian for challenging me to shar...

I found a post on FB from someone new and I connected with it right away. It’s from Sam Demma and he shares something that one of his high school teachers shared with him that is very relevant for all of us to connect with. “Small consistent actions” were the three words that his teacher shared with him. The question he asked the class was “what do these people have in common?” He had written many famous people’s names on the board...

I came across something that really hit home for me. This post from Gary Hensel (@gary_hensel) reminded me that “Somebody didn’t wake up today, but you did. That’s enough reason to stop complaining, and that’s enough to be thankful for. Never let your troubles blind you to your daily blessings.”  Recently I went to a funeral service for a longtime family friend, finding out a former student of mine recently passed away and most rec...

This was the post that I spoke about from Friday’s show and it comes from Greg Berge (@gb1121) where he shares his video from an NBA legend, Doug Collins.  “Too many kids today are afraid of failure.” Doug Collins reminds us that “Failure isn’t the end. It’s the lesson. It’s how you grow, learn, and get tougher. Every champion has failed; they just refused to stay there.”  Now of course it hits differently hearing the clip instead ...

I was reading my “Daily Reader” from John Maxwell on my Kindle app, and yesterday’s lesson was about making failure your best friend.  I love how easy he puts part of this. John mentions “When you are able to learn from any bad experience and thereby turn it into a good experience, you make a major transition in life. For years I’ve taught something that I think gives useful insight on the subject of change: People change when they...

I found this from Ball is Psych (@BallisPsych) and it’s a great reminder for all of us in life and I know it’s something I need to keep working on for sure.  “You are in control of your life. There are four things you can control every day of your life: attitude, work ethic, how you treat others and how you treat yourself.” — Pat Summitt.  Coach Summit was right… We do have some things that we can control and for me, it’s something...
