Dr. Bhrett McCabe talks with Dr. Layne Norton about making lifestyle changes in 2018. Dr. Norton is a bodybuilder and has a PhD in Nutritional Sciences. Dr. Norton cautions not to rely on motivation to get fit. Motivation is a poor way to do anything. Forming good habits can be much more powerful because motivation won't be there all the time. Don't look at a diet as punishment. Look at it as a commitment you're making to get to the next level. You're not going to stumble into your goals. You have to make them a priority and if you do you will find a way to make it happen.  We hope you enjoy this week's episode as much as we did recording it. Thank you to Dr. Norton and to https://www.healthiq.com for making it all possible.

Failure Has Become Famous Dr. Bhrett McCabe looks back at the Philadelphia Eagles win in Super Bowl 52. Who led that team to the big win? It was backup quarterback Nick Foles.  Dr. McCabe listened to what Foles said after the game and brings a message in this podcast that says "don't be afraid to fail." The little failures can sometimes lead to bigger lessons than the big failures. Those are where the true lessons are.

You Can’t Rush Growth What does it take to build a good organization? Coach Hill says the first step is to get the opportunity. After that you have to have a vision. You must have a good direction and know what you’re trying to build. Once you’ve figured that out you have to convey that message to your team members. Anything Worthwhile is Going to Have Adversity The doubt in your head never leaves. You have to tell that voice to shut up. You have to deal with it all the time. People that say they don’t doubt, I think they’re lying. It’s not necessarily the climb to the top, it’s staying at the top. The Only Thing You Have on Them is a Title Just because you’re a leader you are just as human as your team members. You must have empathy for them but your job is not to make them happy. Your job is to make the best team possible. We hope you enjoy this week's episode as much as we did recording it. Thank you to Coach Hill, McNeese State Baseball and https://www.healthiq.com for making it all possible. For more inf

Dr. Bhrett McCabe, clinical psychologist and founder of The MindSide Sports & Performance Psychology focuses on the transition into the new year and what YOU need to do to move forward and “STOP LIVING A LIE.” “You’re so stuck in the gutter, you’ve made friends with the gutter rats” It’s a new year, so it’s time for a new you. Right? The reason you want to change in 2018 is that you’re focusing on the wrong thing. It sounds harsh and it is, but you must face the reality that you’re living a lie. You’re setting yourself up to unrealistic expectations. If you focus on the wrong things they can become all consuming. We’ve all been there. Listen to the podcast and hear Dr. Bhrett McCabe tell you about one experience in college that changed his life. “Don’t let good enough be your mantra” It will take everything you’ve got to find something that fulfills you. You must “find what feeds you.” The reason you want to change in the new year is that you’re focusing on the wrong thing. The majority of people that com

“You have to work on yourself first and we strive to give kids one thing….confidence” Sports play a vital role in the lives of individuals all around the world. Many times when you see a great athlete on the field, they appear to have all the tools to be the biggest or baddest athlete out there. However, they’re missing the one thing to set them apart from others, and that is CONFIDENCE. Confidence is one thing the team at The Warehouse Performance Institute tries to instill in every competitor coming through their doors.  It’s not enough to get bigger, faster, and stronger. You need to work on your mindset or mental performance just as much as your body. “Nobody wants to show vulnerabilities because they perceive it as a weakness. Addressing vulnerabilities is the key to success.” Throughout this podcast, McCoy and Romano explain the importance of “working on yourself first,” and the need to put pride to the side, peel back the onion, and find out exactly who you are as a person.  Once that is achieved, you

“You have to find something you’re willing to fight for.” We are all limited by fear. Whether that fear is of rejection or failure, we all experience the force of this one emotion. Coyte Cooper is an author, coach, and speaker of high performance and has built his reputation on pulling the potential out of others. Throughout the podcast, Cooper explains how the greatest pain we can ever experience is the feeling after you have given up on yourself and your potential. Regret is eternally punishing.  “When you get somebody to start believing in themselves and to start elevating their mindset...it’s crazy.” Cooper sheds some light on the fact that over 66% of people are stressed out in this world. “We have 50 – 60,000 thoughts a day and 80% of those are negative.” Everything you do and everything you say starts with what you think. If you have a negative self-image, the things you think and say will most likely be negative. McCabe and Cooper dive into serious discussion about how we are a settling society. Witho

“Anxiety has increased.” Dr. Kevin Chapman joins The MindSide Podcast for the second time to discuss the rise in anxiety in a want-to-be-perfect society. The world increasingly places more pressure on society every day. Everyone wants to be perfect and everyone wants to be successful, but people rarely release that in success is often based on perspective. Performance is starting to define a player’s identity. This is a trap. Dr. Bhrett McCabe refers to this generation as the “Snowflake Generation” because the people living in this world are trying so hard to be perfect. Chapman explains how younger athletes are expected to be adults and completely matured for the sake of the team’s success. This is a contributing factor to the rise in anxiety among young athletes, “They simply don’t know how to deal with a failing event.” Every performer needs to have a failure response system. This podcast episode exposes the real impact high anxiety is having in the world today. We hope you enjoy this podcast episode as mu

“Striving for growth and improvement is designed to co-exist with satisfaction and contentment with what is right now.”  Jon McGraw is a former NFL safety who spent time playing under the Kansas City Chiefs, the Detroit Lions, and the New York Jets. What you wouldn’t know from McGraw’s career history is the fact that he struggled with performance anxiety during his time as a professional athlete. “Your mind can take you to some dark places.” After retiring from the NFL due to multiple concussions, McGraw was driven to learn more about how the brain is impacted by different things. This led to McGraw co-founding Vision Pursue, an organization with a mission to dramatically improve the way people experience life by improving their mindset. Throughout this episode, McCabe and McGraw dive into discussion about performance anxiety, inner fulfillment, and how the mind is different from the brain. McGraw talks about how one of the many goals of Vision Pursue is to move people to a place where they are not depending

Dr. John Medina compares the stress of society to the Amazon river, both are without one clear source. The MindSide Podcast brings on the molecular biologist and author of top-selling book, “Brain Rules” to dive into some light and educational discussion about why a human’s brain works the way that it does and why so many ideas out there are false. During this episode Medina talks about how, if given the chance, he would teach the importance to empathy to individuals who are struggling to overcome stress barriers in today’s world. “I would teach them how to traffic empathy.” He also argues that the more digital exposure an individual receives, the increased amount of empathy that individual tends to express. There are many myths about how the brain functions floating in the psychological world today. Medina crushes them in his noteworthy book, “Brain Rules”. “…the brain cares about one thing – the brain cares about surviving.” Medina discusses the “weapons focused” way of thinking that affects us all at some

“This is not how I die…” Will Robins and his wife, Amanda, were on their honeymoon sitting in the lobby of a hotel on the island of Ko Phi Phi Don discussing what they wanted to do that day, not knowing that in a few seconds they were going to be hit with a 75-mph tsunami towering over 30 feet high. Robins and his wife were convinced that this was it, these were the last moments of their life…until Will decided to fight. “…In my mind, I thought, “F**k that, I’m going to die fighting.” We are not promised tomorrow. Robins learned that anything can happen and as people start to observe more of the “what if’s” in life, we open ourselves up to the idea that our days are numbered and all we do is the best we can each day. “It’s only once you fully let go that you can actually make any change.” We are all deathly afraid of letting go and surrendering to our everyday circumstances because we enjoy being in control. Control is overrated. We live in a world where we are always seeking control and stability because we

“Understanding your purpose and why you’re doing what you’re doing is the number one thing.” Entrepreneurs David Knight and Michael Eady were just two friends with one vision that led to the creation of Knight Eady, a sports marketing organization that has made a substantial footprint in Birmingham, Alabama. During this episode, these two entrepreneur leaders will dive into the purpose behind their mission and their philosophies on running a team. Every activity that comes out of Knight Eady revolves around one message, that “sports can be a powerful change agent.” Eady and Knight started developing their brand after a Steel City Invitational youth basketball tournament held at Samford University. Since then, Knight Eady has shared their passion of creating memorable events for athletes and spectators with the state of Alabama. The way they look at high school organized sports is that these games may be the last time a parent or a grandmother gets to watch their athlete play in a game if they don’t intend on

“I wanted to make a difference in the game.” Golf is a sport of laser-like focus, mental stability, acceptance of failure, and pure determination. However, according to legendary golf instructor and GOLF Channel celebrity, Michael Breed, for athletes to pay attention to instruction, golf also needs entertainment. “The information is important, but the entertainment is way more important.” This episode on The MindSide Podcast, Dr. Bhrett McCabe dives into deep discussion with Breed on who he is, and why he is motivated to inspire people. Michael shares his personal philosophies with our audience including the fact that he is dyslexic, which the world sees as a weakness. “Everybody has hurdles,” Breed says. The true character of a person is measured when they can use their weaknesses as strengths. “I want to help people. That’s what I really want to do.” Being talks about his learning disability as an asset for him to reach others who may be struggling with something in their life that they perceive as a limita

This week we bring you a SPECIAL episode where host of The MindSide Podcast, Dr. Bhrett McCabe teams up with host of The Chaos Cast, Jeff Boss to discuss the world and its mentality. “People have to BELIEVE they are going to be successful in order to be successful.” Each person is different. In the way they learn, in the way they teach, in the way they communicate; every person is unique. How do you reach someone who may be different than you? How do you teach them or inspire them to pursue their potential? Find out what’s driving them. Find out why they’re doing it. “Over time, getting pushed gets old, but you can always be pulled.” Your purpose is what drives you while your passion is what pulls you to conquer something. During this episode, McCabe and Boss talk about life lessons and how each person has their own definition of “strong mentality”. For the Chaos Cast host, the definition of a strong mentality is, “Not wanting to do something, and doing it anyway.” What’s your definition?   After listening

Adversity is inevitable. For Leonard Kim, adversity was his way of life for a series of years through his early adulthood life. The popular TEDx talk speaker shares his story of coming from a point of ultimate defeat where we had considered taking his own life, to rising to a point where he inspires others to let their fears guide them through life. This is an incredible episode. “I got to a point where I got sick and tired of being sick and tired.” Kim faced every kind of adversity from every direction during his early career which led him to a continuous writing spree. Unlike many other influencers in society today, Leonard Kim refused to take the traditional approach to success. When Kim decided to use writing an outlet to let go of his misfortune, he built up a fear of what people were going to say once he pressed the “Publish” button. This fear led him to a bigger idea; the idea of using that fear to guide him to reaching his potential. Through sharing his story with the world, he inspired others to look
