Coach John Daly - Coach To Expect Success - Podcasts

Lessons from a basketball coach, who again, is really an educator - and educators are needed all throughout life.  This message is not just for students, but really for all of us.  Coach Tom Crean (@TomCrean) says “Students: 1. There is always someone who gets left out. You can be the one to bring them in. 2. Your kindness is strength. Not a weakness. 3. Your own confidence grows when you are helpful to someone else. You brighten someone’s day and it brightens yours too.” Again, I’m seeing these lessons are for all of us. Maybe the world needs to see these lessons as important enough to try and get going on.  I guess I’m feeling the importance of simply putting these things out there more and more and hopefully others will see them, take them to heart and do their part to spreading it around.

Got a great reminder for one of the important lessons in life - coming from Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity) “Life's so short. Spend it with friends who make you laugh and feel loved.” It’s a great time of year to reflect on things like this and then try to put them into action each and everyday, not just during the holidays. I am also reminded that I need to be this person for others as well. Once again, the world would be a lot better if more people took this to heart & the world needs anyone and everyone to take this to heart.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://w

Saw an amazing post that I also used to put together a little video presentation for some basketball coaches / teams, and the message was something that all of us can use - especially me.  I found this from Coach AJ Mental Fitness (@coachajkings) who I find so many great ideas to post, podcast about, create things from, and generally find a great amount of inspiration. In this message that he posted, Coach Kara Lawson (@karalawson20) said, "Preparation doesn't guarantee a result. It just guarantees growth." She brings up four thoughts that help us even more.  “Preparation matters because:  • You are your habits, • It builds your foundation,  • It's where growth happens, and • Details make big differences.”  I love these reminders because this is for everyone that pays attention, not just if you play for Coach Lawson. I hope you find a few things from this that inspired you to reflect a bit differently in your life as it has helped me to keep looking to get better in my life. The key is for

Saw this one when I needed it - which usually happens that way as the things I stumble across always seem to make a connection to me. Hopefully they do with you too.  This is from Power of Positivity (@LIVEpositivity)  “Stop using your energy to worry. Use your energy to believe, create, love, grow, glow, manifest, and heal.”  I’ve been worrying a bit too much over the last couple of days - and other times over the last few years and I loved this for giving me some reflections on what I should be doing with my energy.  I hope it helps you find some things to think about how you use your energy.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@

Saw this great post and an even better reminder for all of us about bouncing back.  Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) comes back with another great thought:  “Flowers grow back even after they’ve been stepped on. So will you.”  All of us have so many things going on in our lives where we feel that we’ve been stepped on, pushed around, knocked over, etc. The key is to always try and pick ourselves up and to keep going.  Good thoughts here that I share with you - or I at least think they are good ones…. Remember, not the only ones out there, but these hopefully will be good for you to think about and share with others.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: C

Found an amazing reminder this morning from Inspiration & More (@LifeWithJohn) where he shared a powerful, yet simple reminder for us all about our health.  He shared: “Health does not always come from medicine. Most of the time it comes from peace of mind, peace in the heart, peace of soul. It comes from laughter and love!” I needed this reminder for sure as most days get a little crazy and I need to keep reminding myself that this is one of the things that I need to keep building my life with. As always, I’m hoping it helps you too.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.co

It’s been a little while since I was reminded about some important life lessons from Damon West (@damonwest7) and he reminds us that: “Here are some ways to be a coffee bean and keep your momentum up especially around this time of year! Remember, you are capable of much more than you think.” There are 4 areas he shares about how we can become a Coffee Bean:  1) Fuel your life with purpose, 2) Be humble and hungry, 3) Make life a mission trip and 4) Remember when you succeeded (click HERE for the video on Damon West’s story).  This is something each of us can connect with and take with us wherever we go. Go out and get his book “The Coffee Bean”... it’s one worth keeping a copy all throughout life and giving them away to others too.

Another fantastic and powerful post that just got delivered to me from the one and only, Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_). Listen to this one, “You become unstoppable when you work on things that people can’t take away from you.” This post really got me fired up and looking to continue to work hard and make changes that I know I need to make in my life. I know that I need to simply keep working on these things a little bit every single day and things will keep getting better (maybe not easier), but they will improve.  Amazing to think that others - even though they will try, they won’t be able to take these things away from us. Very cool stuff!!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coa

Found myself watching a clip that I have seen & watched before and again, it’s a message that I needed to hear & see again - it’s got that much value for sure. Coach Kara Lawson (@karalawson20) is the head women’s basketball coach at Duke University. She’s one of the best out there as a coach and a leader and of the reasons why she is - she played for the legendary coach and leaders, Coach Pat Summitt at the University of Tennessee.  Kara’s website.  Watch this video first - this is where Coach Lawson shares her thoughts on “handling hard better.”  After that video, please check out the clip that ESPN did about this speech and it goes into a bit more info on who Coach Lawson is. I think it was a masterful video - check it out here.  Life gets better when we learn how to handle hard better. This message (lesson) is like many, it’s not just about sports…. It’s about life!!  Please… share this episode of mine (and hers too) and reach out and let me know what you took away from Coach Lawson’s messages. Li

Saw a post that for sure spoke right to me and I think there will be a few other people that will feel the same.  Psyche Wizard (@PsycheWizard) posted this reminder - “Control your laziness, and you’ll understand how much success you’ve been avoiding.”  Yep… this was for me. I’ve shown various types of laziness throughout my lifetime and I’ve figured out for sure, that because of those choices - success has been avoiding me along with me avoiding it.  That time is ending.  It’s not gone all the way, but it sure is getting better.  Hope this helps you to connect more with whatever you define success as.

This post from Inspiration & More (@LifeWithJohn) caught my eye since I’ve had many connections - recently for sure - to what he’s talking about here. In fact, I think all of us have a connection to this post.  He shared this:  “I think sometimes we are hugged by people in our sleep that aren't there. But their souls stop by and leave us some strength. ~ Amen!”  Again, I’ve shared this before that I truly believe we are spiritual beings having a human experience here on earth.  It’s very emotional when I have dreams about people that I love & care for - especially those that have passed on already. As I’m typing these show notes, two things here got me thinking. First - how often I think of my “balcony people” (those that came before me and had an impact on me and my life and they are in heaven, cheering me on as if they were looking over a many-level balcony), it’s me thinking about them, many times a day - every single day.  Second - how much I’m struggling typing with my arthritis pain.  Writi

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 figure I might as well never stop learning.  This is a great conversation for all of us to have with our individual person that we see in the mirror every single day!  Then, just keep working on learning the lessons, applying them into our lives and be ready for the next learning opportunity.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel i

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 you will have six months of excuses, or six months of progress.  The choice is yours!!”  Again, this was speaking right to me.  It’s the same message for 6 days or 6 years (or in my case, even longer.)  I love the connection to the truth that I need to choose progress!! Excuses means I’m not doing anything, blaming others, having pity parties for myself, etc.  Progress means I’m trying, learning, getting back up, reading, listening, etc.  I’m going to continue to work every single day to choose progress. You see, you don’t have to make your fight between excuses and progress, public knowledge.  This also reminds me of a statement that I have br

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 to do more thinking and to invest in my thinking, which helps me grow and become a better person.  Also, it reminds me how much this is true for so much of the world. I also reflect on the fact that the world would be a lot better if we paused a little bit more to do some deep thinking & reflecting about life and our part in it - instead of blaming, judging, pointing fingers, etc. Just me doing some Christmas Holiday wishing.

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, but also I realize that I MUST keep learning / being reminded of these lessons every single day of my life!!  This once comes from The Winning Difference (@thewinningdiff1) and it reminds us that “Success starts with accountability. When you take responsibility for where you are, you take control of where you’re going. Stop making excuses. Start making progress.” Now that is a powerful enough point to share and discuss for sure, but they went a bit further by attaching another thought from Coach Buzz Williams who said, “You’ll never become who you want to be if you keep blaming everyone else for who you are now.”  Now, I’ve done this plenty of t

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 & care for & they love and care for us… hopefully they are able to at least support us in going after our dreams and goals. Keep looking to encourage them to go after theirs and don’t get too upset with them if they don’t encourage & support you at first. Secondly, look to encourage them and other people to go after their goals and dreams.  Look to walk in their shoes a bit, be empathetic to see things from their point of view.  Why would you not encourage others, when you are seeking encouragement for yourself.  Finally, there will be those critics out there that take offense to you going after your dreams and goals because it remi

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 this reminder as I’m recovering from another surgery procedure yesterday and I need to (follow doctors orders & my wife’s too), to take it easy for a few days / weeks.  But all of this that I’ve been going through, has really helped to put into focus the things that I want to keep working on.  The inspiration is powerful and I am more excited now than ever before to keep doing the things I want to do with my life. No matter the detours, road blocks, etc., I (you) need to just keep going. Little by little is a lot better than quitting.  Find out those things that light your soul on fire and keep doing the things necessary to keep going after t

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, life goes by. Later, you regret not doing something… when you had the chance.”  At my age, I’m seeing the truth of this more and more. I think a key is for people that are younger than me, pick up on these thoughts.  Another key is that there are people older too that would benefit from doing the same thing.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  -

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, let it digest a bit and see where you stand with this statement. I know (again) there is plenty for me to work on with this one.  How about you?  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ an

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 happen any more.  Let me know if you have ways of dealing with this better than I do.  Another home run by Mindful Maven (@mindfulmaven_) and I think this is someone you should look up to find more about.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also he
