00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:21.519
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Building Championship Mindsets the podcast.
19
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:24.560
I am your host, doctor Amber Selking, and I am
20
00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:27.159
so excited to be kicking off season two with you
21
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:30.840
entitled Mindset, mondays, we are going to be coming at
22
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:33.920
you every Monday for the next several months. How can
23
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:35.719
you just get your mind right as you start the
24
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:39.159
week and really dive into pursuing your excellence and whatever
25
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:42.719
field that is now most specifically we talk about from
26
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:44.840
the locker room to the boardroom, so really from the
27
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:48.000
sports space to the business space of just understanding the
28
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:50.480
power of the mind and how we can better position
29
00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:54.799
ourselves to be successful on a more consistent basis. And
30
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:57.879
just a little bit we are going to flesh out
31
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:00.239
a little bit more about how the season is is
32
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:03.359
going to go in the format of the podcast, etc.
33
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:07.120
But before we go into that, I want to start
34
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:11.280
with recapping things that have gone on in my life
35
00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:15.120
personally and professionally over the last seven months. So a
36
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:18.120
lot has happened on all fronts, and I just want
37
00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:20.599
to bring everybody up to speed. One because it's really
38
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:23.680
exciting stuff, and two because I think it gives us
39
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:27.000
a really powerful understanding of just how we go about
40
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:31.879
applying mental performance in sports psychology into the fields of
41
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:35.520
sport and business. So first and foremost, for those of
42
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:39.240
you who are returning listening to the podcast, you may
43
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:42.360
notice that my name has changed from doctor Amber Lattner
44
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:46.039
to doctor Amber Selking because one of the most monumentous
45
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:48.879
thing that's happened over the last four months is that
46
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:51.080
I got to marry the man of my dreams.
47
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:54.080
So I got married to Aaron James Selking.
48
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:57.960
On April twenty ninth, twenty seventeen, here in South Bend, Indiana,
49
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:01.360
and it was quite honestly one of the best days
50
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:03.599
of my life. So for those of you who don't know,
51
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:05.919
I was a college soccer player here at the University
52
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:08.000
of Notre Dame where Aaron and I now live in
53
00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:11.159
South Bend, Indiana, just across the street from campus. But
54
00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:13.719
my college soccer number was number twenty nine, and Aaron
55
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:17.319
actually played college football at Trine University, where he wore
56
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:18.000
number four.
57
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:20.800
So part of the special day for us was that we.
58
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:24.199
Got married on four twenty nine, twenty seventeen, so again
59
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:27.840
his college football number, my college soccer number, and forever
60
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:30.120
a date that will be a part of our lives.
61
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:32.759
And so with that being said, you know that has
62
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:36.159
really sort of shifted my own mindset, you know, about
63
00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:38.439
my work, about who I am as a woman, as
64
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:41.520
a leader, as a professional, and now as a wife,
65
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:44.759
and I think that it offers a totally new lens
66
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:47.639
to understand the power of the mind right and the
67
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:51.840
importance of communication, and the importance of problem solving and
68
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:55.919
dialogue around real issues that really matter. And so just
69
00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:58.879
like we can talk about mindset from the locker room
70
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:01.800
to the boardroom, we also challenge our listeners to think
71
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:03.919
about how this applies in our day to day lives
72
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:07.159
with those that matter most to us. And so again,
73
00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:09.879
just a whole new season of life that we are
74
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:13.479
enjoying building our life together here in South Bend. Like
75
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:16.839
I said, with our doberman pincher Rockney Mulligan. So he's
76
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:21.240
named after the legendary football coach New Rockney and the
77
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:23.639
Irish pub that sits just on the corner of Notre
78
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:28.600
Dame's campus, Mulligan's Irish Pub. Again, an amazing dog. We've
79
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:31.879
got an amazing home, and just really excited about this
80
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:35.639
next phase of life. So personally, that was sort of
81
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:39.000
the biggest monument that happened, I guess over the last
82
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:41.160
several months. We had the opportunity to go to Greece
83
00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:44.399
for ten days and experience our honeymoon there together in
84
00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:47.639
Athens and Santorini, and then we hopped over to Mikono's
85
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:49.560
for a couple days and it was an awesome ten days.
86
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:51.519
But it was great to be back because we both
87
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:54.600
have a lot going on. Aaron is the general manager
88
00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:58.240
and director of sales in their South Bend dealership, so
89
00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:01.240
he's third generation in a family trucking business. So they
90
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:05.480
have nine international truck dealerships across the tri state area
91
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:08.560
of Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana, started by his grandpa and
92
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:11.160
led by his father and three uncles, which is an
93
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:14.959
amazing example of a family run business that's based in values,
94
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:18.920
that's based in worth work, ethic, and again just about
95
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:22.040
bringing that mindset every day that it's about winning, right,
96
00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:25.079
it's about sales, but it's about building relationships and it's
97
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:28.480
about taking care of your people. And so Selking International
98
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:29.959
is the name of the business, and they just do
99
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:33.079
an incredible job and embodiment of really what we talk
100
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:35.480
about in this championship mindset in terms of how to
101
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:39.079
run a business, but how to sustain a business, which
102
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:44.279
again his grandfather started back in the fifties, So that's
103
00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:47.759
an exciting aspect. There's also been several other professional opportunities
104
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:49.120
that I've got to engage in, and.
105
00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:51.160
So I want to share a couple of those highlights
106
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:51.560
with you.
107
00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:54.240
Again just to help see what I've been doing, what
108
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:56.439
I've been working on, and how I've been continuing to
109
00:05:56.519 --> 00:06:01.120
try to gather information and knowledge and appliction of elements
110
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:03.519
to share with you. I had the opportunity to go
111
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:06.279
spend a weekend dow at IMG Academy, where I had
112
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:09.160
worked for two summers. But this was special because we
113
00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:11.639
had a sports psych think tank with a ton of
114
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:17.720
young professionals in sports psychology across the country really be
115
00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:20.839
able to come in and share how they the best
116
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:23.600
practices that they're using to apply and then again be
117
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:26.800
in this amazing facility that IMG offers. So I'll put
118
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:28.279
a link down there that you can check it out.
119
00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:31.319
But it's an athletic training facility and boarding school that
120
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:34.079
just really has state of the art facilities and people,
121
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:37.160
and again are all about building mindsets that help people
122
00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:40.240
be successful in and out of sport. I also had
123
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:44.879
the chance to present in Atlanta at the National Coaching Conference,
124
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:48.920
where I had several presentations with my team through the
125
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:52.560
Missouri Institute for Positive Coaching and Positive Coaching LLC different
126
00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:54.759
than Positive Coaching Alliance, which some of you might be
127
00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:58.519
aware of, but Positive Coaching in the Missouri Institute is
128
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:02.120
really about helping coaches have a better way to coach
129
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:05.279
and giving them a whole framework on becoming coaches that
130
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:07.839
not only build great people, but build great athletes and
131
00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:10.759
are is about optimal performance and everything that they do.
132
00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:14.560
And so perhaps you know the presentation that I enjoyed
133
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:17.319
most presenting down there was when we took our mental
134
00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:22.399
toughness framework, so the McGuire ivy Selking model of mental toughness.
135
00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:24.399
I'll put a link to an article that's been published
136
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:26.839
on that model that we developed, but really looking at
137
00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:29.439
how to leverage this model of mental toughness into an
138
00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:32.959
athletic system and help individuals understand how we take that
139
00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:36.040
model and really leverage it to shape the overall approach
140
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:39.199
of how we're going about organizing our system instructure as
141
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:42.240
an athletic department, but also how we leverage that model
142
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:44.519
on a day to day basis to continue building a
143
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:48.079
culture of mental toughness and how our coaches and our
144
00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:52.639
athletes are functioning. Some other fun things here in South Bend.
145
00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:55.040
You know, there is a lot of exciting things happening.
146
00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:56.959
If you've not been to Notre Dame or back to
147
00:07:57.000 --> 00:07:59.480
South Bend, Indiana in a long time, I really want
148
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:02.040
to encourage you to come back because our city is
149
00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:04.920
on a total upswing. We've got a great mayor who
150
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:08.920
has done phenomenal work at the city level in terms
151
00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:12.680
of city planning and layout and engagement of the community.
152
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:18.319
And we also have Beacon Sports Medicine and Beacon Sports Performance,
153
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:21.399
which is a medical system here in South Bend that
154
00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:25.480
really takes a proactive health approach to health versus a
155
00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:28.720
reactionary approach. And so I've had the opportunity to partner
156
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:31.639
with them and their sports medicine doctors and their sports
157
00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:36.879
facility trainers, and I've done several presentations on understanding the
158
00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:39.480
role of the athletic trainer in the healing process from
159
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:42.960
the mental perspective of athletes. I spoke with doctors on
160
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:45.799
how to optimize patient interactions. You know, our doctors have
161
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:48.600
very short windows of time with their patients, and so
162
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:53.200
optimizing that patient experience is really important in the healing
163
00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:55.919
process for the individual, but also in their ability to
164
00:08:55.960 --> 00:08:59.480
adhere to the protocols that the doctors and training trainers
165
00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:02.000
are trying to get them to help get them back
166
00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:05.279
up to speed, and so really again helping individuals in
167
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:08.879
this space understanding more about how the brain works and
168
00:09:08.919 --> 00:09:13.360
the psychology behind healing and relationships and recovery and motivation, etc.
169
00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:17.480
So that has been an incredible opportunity over the last
170
00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:20.440
several months to partner with them and their doctors and
171
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:24.159
their staff on just better understanding the mental side of
172
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:26.840
performance and the mental side of healing and training, etc.
173
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:30.679
Another great opportunity I was asked to serve on the
174
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:34.559
Athletic Advisory Council for South Bend Public Schools, and there
175
00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:38.399
is just an incredible group of professionals both within the
176
00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:42.159
school district but also within the community who are committed
177
00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:45.919
to really transforming the culture and the experience that our
178
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:50.559
young student athletes experience as members of South Bend Community Schools.
179
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:55.480
And so within that again partnering with people from the
180
00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:59.799
spiritual world, to the business world, to the media, to
181
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:03.480
sports psychology and really looking at how we can create
182
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:07.159
a better sport experience that it gets our kids more
183
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:10.840
engaged right and has sport have the effect that it
184
00:10:10.919 --> 00:10:13.679
can and should have in these kids' lives, which is
185
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:16.000
getting them more motivated, helping them learn to be fit
186
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:19.879
for life, keeping their grades up, being engaged in their
187
00:10:19.879 --> 00:10:23.720
school and their classroom, and ultimately instilling within them skills
188
00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:26.039
that are going to transfer long beyond high school and
189
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:29.120
long beyond their sports in terms of leadership, in terms
190
00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:32.799
of communication and responsibility and doing things that you don't
191
00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:36.320
necessarily like to do, and also helping equip our coaches
192
00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:39.000
through that process as well. So that's just been an
193
00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:41.799
exciting opportunity to be a part of our community and
194
00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:45.120
really hopefully have a positive change in this area that
195
00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:48.399
Aaron and I get to call home. I had the
196
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:51.039
opportunity to go up to Detroit and consult with BOSH
197
00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:55.919
and one of their teams within that big organization, really
198
00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:58.200
diverse team, a group of people coming from all over
199
00:10:58.240 --> 00:10:59.799
the world. So we did a lot of team to
200
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:03.840
development and application of strengths within that team to help
201
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:07.399
amplify and achieve goals. And so again looking at how
202
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:11.080
we apply this sort of understanding of optimal performance and
203
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:14.200
human performance in the business space, even when there's a
204
00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:17.840
lot of diversity that exists, and perhaps even because a
205
00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:21.559
lot of diversity should exist, and inherently within diversity, their
206
00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:24.519
lives power for better problem solving if we know how
207
00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:27.320
to leverage that properly. So that was an awesome opportunity
208
00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:30.519
for me to go up there and share that with
209
00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:34.840
their corporation. We're in the process of a total website
210
00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:38.320
redesign which is just launched, so we really want to encourage.
211
00:11:38.039 --> 00:11:38.879
You to check that out.
212
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:41.799
My tech guy, as I call him, Michael Yoda, he
213
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:45.039
has his own company called Truthworks Media and has just
214
00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:49.159
done a phenomenal job at helping rejuvenate the brand and
215
00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:52.840
reposition us as we go forward to continue helping to
216
00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:54.039
transform those mindsets.
217
00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:55.600
So check us out www.
218
00:11:55.720 --> 00:11:58.960
Dot Selkingperformance dot com, take a look, send us some feedback.
219
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:02.879
We're always about continual growth and improvement and love to
220
00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:05.519
hear what you think about it. I had the opportunity
221
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:08.720
to be the MC at a local leadership event called
222
00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:11.799
Lead USA, where we actually had doctor Eric Thomas so
223
00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:14.039
Et As some of you might better know him. He's
224
00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:16.600
known as the Hip Hop Preacher. He's an incredible motivational
225
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:19.360
speaker and is just doing incredible work out in the
226
00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:22.039
world in terms of helping people understand the potential within
227
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:24.919
themselves how to get out of their own way, get
228
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:28.000
on their grind and go out and be great and
229
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:30.639
et I leverage his videos and a lot of work
230
00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:32.360
that I do. So it was an honor and a
231
00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:36.039
privilege to be able to introduce him to a group
232
00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:40.679
of fifteen hundred live with another two thousand individual streaming
233
00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:42.759
from across the country, and to be able to just
234
00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:45.840
share his message or tee him up to share his
235
00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:48.960
message about hard work and the grind and the belief
236
00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:53.720
that it takes in yourself and your abilities, and just
237
00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:56.759
the belief in the type of effort that you can
238
00:12:56.799 --> 00:12:58.279
put forth that will manifest.
239
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:01.080
So that was a powerful, really awesome experience.
240
00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:04.519
I've been working on some books and so we're going
241
00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:06.919
to put some links in there for you to go
242
00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:10.080
check out on Amazon some books that a book that
243
00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:12.679
we've published, and just so you know, there's more in
244
00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:15.200
the pipeline. So we're looking at our building blocks, so
245
00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:17.919
the eight building blocks of the Mental Performance Foundation, which
246
00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:21.559
we really encompassed season one, and then also this model
247
00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:25.679
of mental toughness that I referenced also another resource for
248
00:13:25.720 --> 00:13:28.000
you to start to understand how does the brain work,
249
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:30.679
how does the mind work, how do systems work, people work,
250
00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:34.000
processes work, and how can we be more strategic in
251
00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:38.879
advancing the mental and emotional capacities of us as individuals
252
00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:41.360
but also the teams and systems and organizations of.
253
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:42.000
Which we are part.
254
00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:44.639
So please check those out, and again we'd love your
255
00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:49.679
feedback and to hear from you. Two other fun things
256
00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:52.080
that are going on that I've been up to, I'm
257
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:55.519
actually going to be teaching this fall in Notre Dame's
258
00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:57.279
business school, the Mendoza College of Business.
259
00:13:57.320 --> 00:13:59.440
I will be teaching strategic HR management.
260
00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:02.519
Some of you know, part of my background immediately following
261
00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:06.679
undergrad where I graduated from Notre Dame and management consulting
262
00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:09.799
major was I worked in a global manufacturing company in HR,
263
00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:13.840
and so that is part of my heart behind helping
264
00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:17.440
the business space also understand the power of mindset and
265
00:14:17.559 --> 00:14:20.039
leadership and how to leverage that to transform people in
266
00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:23.399
systems and achieve sustainable results. And so I'm really looking
267
00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:26.840
forward to the opportunity to just pour into these kids'
268
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:31.440
lives and minds and helping them learn the craft of
269
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:34.600
HR from a technical tactical standpoint, but also the art
270
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:38.919
of human resource management and how that really looks and
271
00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:42.519
means and can be meaningful in organizations, from small organizations
272
00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:45.519
to large organizations. So I'm really looking forward to that.
273
00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:54.000
Tom Mendoza is an incredible benefactor and leader and role
274
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:57.240
model of what great business people can do in this
275
00:14:57.320 --> 00:15:02.720
world if they position themselves rightly and hone their craft
276
00:15:02.879 --> 00:15:06.559
from a technical standpoint, from a tactical standpoint, but also
277
00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:10.399
from this mental standpoint. And so as a graduate of
278
00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:13.879
the business school that he helped bring to life at
279
00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:16.559
Notre Dame, I'm really honored to be back in the
280
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:20.120
classroom and now also helping shape the hearts and the
281
00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:23.919
minds and the work of the next generation of these
282
00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:29.200
world changers. So that's exciting. And then from the athletic perspective,
283
00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:32.759
I'm officially the mental performance coach for Notre Dame football
284
00:15:32.919 --> 00:15:35.200
and so I've been working with coach Brian Kelly since
285
00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:37.559
January of this year and been working with the team
286
00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:41.879
since February and really helping them develop the mindset that
287
00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:45.440
it's going to take to achieve their mission right, which
288
00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:48.000
is always to graduate from the University of Notre Dame
289
00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:51.399
and to win a national championship. And it has been
290
00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:55.600
an incredible experience so far, and it's only going to
291
00:15:55.639 --> 00:15:57.919
get better. We've got an amazing group of coaches, an
292
00:15:57.919 --> 00:16:00.360
amazing group of young men, and a lot of my
293
00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:03.399
day is spent with them and with the coaches and
294
00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:05.919
with the staff, and so really looking forward to an
295
00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:10.200
incredible fall. So again, a lot going on here in
296
00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:14.960
South Bend, Indiana, both from an overall community standpoint, but
297
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:17.960
also from a personal standpoint. And I know we took
298
00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:20.279
a little hiatus there over the summertime, but I hope
299
00:16:20.320 --> 00:16:24.600
you can appreciate why, and also be looking forward to
300
00:16:24.639 --> 00:16:27.000
all of the insights that are going to continually be
301
00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:30.159
derived from the work that we've been doing in these
302
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:34.679
various spaces. Additionally, within all of that that's happening, I
303
00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:37.320
hope you can see again just the power of mindset
304
00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:40.399
and leadership and how it really does extend from the
305
00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:44.039
locker room to the boardroom and can be very specialized
306
00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:48.279
and applied to whatever domain you're in. And again, as
307
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:51.679
we go through the course of this season, mindset mondays,
308
00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:55.000
we're going to be kicking our weeks off right right
309
00:16:55.039 --> 00:16:58.840
to go into the week, to go into the battle,
310
00:16:58.879 --> 00:17:01.679
if you will, whatever that is, and not to minimize
311
00:17:01.720 --> 00:17:04.119
the actual battles that our men and women are fighting
312
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:09.000
for us from a military standpoint, but the demands that
313
00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:11.519
are placed on us in throughout the course of a week,
314
00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:14.759
both personally and professionally, so that we can set our
315
00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:19.039
minds on the things and the people and the processes
316
00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:22.880
that we need to position ourselves to be successful and
317
00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:25.680
to have the type of impact and influence that we
318
00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:29.079
seek to have. So again, for those of you that
319
00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:31.720
were with us in season one, you've heard the discussion
320
00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:35.319
around mindset, but to refresh your memory, and for those
321
00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:38.720
of you who are just joining us, when we say mindset, right,
322
00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:41.960
a mindset is just a patterned way of thinking, and
323
00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:45.160
we have mindsets about everything, right, So we have patterned
324
00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:49.200
ways of thinking about everything. About the weather of where
325
00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:51.400
you live, right, The weather in South Bend, Indiana is
326
00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:53.319
all over the place, So people that live here have
327
00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:56.839
a very distinct mindset about the weather. And I actually
328
00:17:56.920 --> 00:17:58.680
had to shift my mindset a little bit when I
329
00:17:58.759 --> 00:18:02.240
realized that I was moving back here full time and
330
00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:06.400
really starting to see my mindset on the weather in
331
00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:08.440
South Bend has shifted. Yes it gets really hot in
332
00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:11.079
the summertime, and yes it gets really cold in the wintertime,
333
00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:15.400
and that winter seems to last for a very long time. However,
334
00:18:16.039 --> 00:18:19.119
I am starting to shift my mindset. One because my
335
00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:22.400
husband has promised two warm vacations a year. He thinks
336
00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:25.680
it was one, but it is two, Aaron FYI.
337
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:27.319
So that's been helpful.
338
00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:30.240
But even more than that, I think just really understanding that, yes,
339
00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:32.680
the weather does change and it is invariable, but that's
340
00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:36.079
also helping condition us and the people of South Bend
341
00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:40.960
to be adaptable and to be able to execute in
342
00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:43.799
any and all circumstances. And that's really what we've been
343
00:18:43.839 --> 00:18:47.160
talking a lot about, from the South Bend Public Schools
344
00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:49.799
to Notre Dame and really looking at how can we
345
00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:53.640
build mindsets that are conducive to us being successful and
346
00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:59.039
us approaching situations and experiences and adversity with a mindset
347
00:18:59.319 --> 00:19:02.640
that we are prepared to execute and prepared to show
348
00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:06.799
up and prepared to deliver our absolute best regardless of
349
00:19:06.839 --> 00:19:09.920
what might be going on outside of us. And so again,
350
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:14.599
this mindset, right patterned ways of thinking mindset Monday is
351
00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:19.279
going to be all about helping you identify and build
352
00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:23.680
mindsets or patterned ways of thinking about how you operate
353
00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:26.880
in this world in a way that again will help
354
00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:32.720
you deliver results consistently, both in your personal life, professionally,
355
00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:36.039
in your homes and your communities, et cetera. And so
356
00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:38.279
every week, every Monday, we're going to kick it off
357
00:19:38.359 --> 00:19:42.000
looking at a different a different way to think about
358
00:19:42.039 --> 00:19:45.400
a topic or a scenario. So, for example, we're going
359
00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:47.759
to go back through the building blocks. Briefly, We're not
360
00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:50.200
going to dive into them because that was all season one,
361
00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:52.240
but we're going to take the building blocks and talk
362
00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:54.920
about the right mindsets that we need to develop around
363
00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:57.880
awareness and the power that awareness can have and helping
364
00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:01.799
us enhance everything in our lives. Okay, we're going to
365
00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:06.960
look at the mindset of the big game. So throughout
366
00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:08.720
the course of a season, we're going to be going
367
00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:12.400
through playoffs, right the NFL season's coming up, College football
368
00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:15.000
season's coming up, and there's going to be big games.
369
00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:17.160
We need to talk about what that mindset looks like
370
00:20:17.240 --> 00:20:20.000
and can be and should be. So stay tuned with
371
00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:23.279
us throughout the course of the next several months. Again,
372
00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:27.039
we're going to be coming to you live every Monday,
373
00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:30.039
kicking off a mindset Monday to again just help you
374
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:34.559
set your mind on things that will help you optimize
375
00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:37.519
yourself and your role. We want to start the week
376
00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:41.960
strong and then hopefully position you to end the week strong. Right,
377
00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:44.559
So start strong, finished strong, that's where we want to get.
378
00:20:46.279 --> 00:20:48.799
Similarly to last season, we are going to end every
379
00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:52.640
episode with some championship mindset training, so specific things that
380
00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:56.000
you can do to condition your mind right and build
381
00:20:56.039 --> 00:21:00.000
these mindsets that lead to optimal performance. Because here's the thing, right,
382
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:02.160
our brain is sort of like a muscle, So you
383
00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:05.240
don't walk into the gym one day and expect to
384
00:21:05.279 --> 00:21:08.799
walk out swol and fit and ready to go dominate
385
00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:11.119
right and look like have the body you want.
386
00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:11.359
Right.
387
00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:15.200
That takes time, that takes effort, that takes discipline. Well,
388
00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:18.480
the same goes with our mind, our mind. We must
389
00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:22.519
be consistent, we must be disciplined, we must be rigorous
390
00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:26.920
because our minds are powerful, right as we as we know,
391
00:21:27.039 --> 00:21:31.319
our thoughts affect our emotions, which affect our physiological response, right,
392
00:21:31.400 --> 00:21:35.000
or our body's response, and ultimately that's what's going to
393
00:21:35.079 --> 00:21:39.000
dictate our performance. Again, the process that we know from
394
00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:42.759
a sports science standpoint is that our thoughts affect our emotions,
395
00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:44.400
which affect our body's response.
396
00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:44.599
Right.
397
00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:48.240
So that's your heart rate, your muscle tension, your hormonal releases,
398
00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:52.000
your visual field, and ultimately it's those things that are
399
00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:56.519
going to impact your performance. The thing that starts that
400
00:21:56.559 --> 00:22:00.480
whole process are your thoughts, right, And the beautiful part
401
00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:04.160
is we get to control and choose our thoughts.
402
00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:05.200
Now here's the reality.
403
00:22:05.279 --> 00:22:05.400
Right.
404
00:22:05.440 --> 00:22:07.839
We can't always choose or control what thoughts try to
405
00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:10.599
pop into our head, but we can choose are we
406
00:22:10.640 --> 00:22:12.759
gonna hold onto those thoughts or are we going to
407
00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:13.279
let them go?
408
00:22:13.680 --> 00:22:13.839
Right?
409
00:22:13.880 --> 00:22:17.519
So the difference between humans and other species. Or we
410
00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:20.079
have a brain, right, that's the physical mass that you have,
411
00:22:20.440 --> 00:22:22.759
but we also have a mind, and the mind sort
412
00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:25.039
of hovers above the brain, if you will, and it's
413
00:22:25.079 --> 00:22:27.799
that selection piece that gets to choose. Okay, am I
414
00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:31.880
gonna let this thought come in, because repeated thoughts are
415
00:22:31.920 --> 00:22:35.799
what build mindsets. Right. Mindsets are patterned ways of thinking.
416
00:22:35.880 --> 00:22:41.119
Mindsets are protein patterns that actually get built into our mind. Yes,
417
00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:46.279
our thoughts actually change the form and function of your brain.
418
00:22:46.960 --> 00:22:53.160
Those that have recurrent, positive, powerful, productive, optimistic thoughts. Right.
419
00:22:53.240 --> 00:22:56.319
That could sound soft and fluffy and light, but the
420
00:22:56.359 --> 00:22:59.759
reality of it is those that think that way think
421
00:22:59.799 --> 00:23:03.400
more clearly think more creatively and they problem solve better.
422
00:23:04.359 --> 00:23:06.960
There's nobody out there, from the sports space to the
423
00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:09.440
business space to the life space that can tell me
424
00:23:09.720 --> 00:23:12.440
that thinking clearly, thinking creatively and being able to problem
425
00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:15.759
solve is not going to help optimize your performance. Right
426
00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:19.000
And so if we have the choice, which we do,
427
00:23:19.680 --> 00:23:22.880
to build those types of mindsets, then what we need
428
00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:26.079
to first and foremost do is start getting a grasp
429
00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:29.359
on what thoughts we're thinking, What are we thinking about,
430
00:23:29.400 --> 00:23:32.039
what recurring thoughts do we have, And when our mind
431
00:23:32.160 --> 00:23:35.119
recognizes a right thought, then we want to hold onto it,
432
00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:37.880
keep it there, repeat it, build a mindset around that.
433
00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:43.000
But when our mind recognizes wrong thoughts, unproductive thoughts right
434
00:23:43.279 --> 00:23:48.880
negative can be a disturbing connotation or a confusing connotation,
435
00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:52.279
but more productive right unproductive thoughts, then we need to
436
00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:55.680
release that and replace it with the right thought, with
437
00:23:55.720 --> 00:23:58.559
a productive thought that is going to again build the
438
00:23:58.680 --> 00:24:02.799
mindsets or the path ways of thinking about that situation
439
00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:05.799
that will position us to be successful at the end
440
00:24:05.839 --> 00:24:08.759
of our day. Our mindsets control us what we think
441
00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:12.920
about people and believe about ourselves and situations in scenarios
442
00:24:13.279 --> 00:24:15.960
is going to determine and dictate how we react and
443
00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:18.720
respond to those, And so we have to be very
444
00:24:18.759 --> 00:24:22.319
conscious and very cognizant about the thoughts that we are having,
445
00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:27.240
because those are building mindsets or actual protein patterns in
446
00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:30.559
our brain that are either positioning us to be successful. Right,
447
00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:34.920
those protein patterns look like vibrant electrical activity in the
448
00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:39.880
neurons in your brain. But those negative, pessimistic, anxious, depressive
449
00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:43.559
thoughts and mindsets that can get built up in our mind, right,
450
00:24:43.599 --> 00:24:46.480
those exist as well, But those on a brain scan
451
00:24:46.839 --> 00:24:49.279
almost look like gray holes, and the neurons look a
452
00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:51.720
little bit withered and they're not active.
453
00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:52.240
Right.
454
00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:55.720
So the beautiful part is what we wired in we
455
00:24:55.799 --> 00:24:58.880
can wire out. So if you've historically had very negative
456
00:24:58.920 --> 00:25:02.440
thinking and very pessive, mystic and very hurtful type thoughts,
457
00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:05.319
we can wire those out by replacing those with the
458
00:25:05.359 --> 00:25:09.839
right thoughts. But again, that takes time, that takes discipline,
459
00:25:10.319 --> 00:25:13.799
that takes consistency, and so over the course of season two,
460
00:25:13.920 --> 00:25:17.160
I'm going to consistently come to you on Mondays and
461
00:25:17.319 --> 00:25:20.160
share what I'm thinking about, what I'm learning, what we're
462
00:25:20.160 --> 00:25:23.000
applying in all of these spaces, and together we're going
463
00:25:23.079 --> 00:25:27.279
to continue to build this championship mindset, right, These championship
464
00:25:27.319 --> 00:25:31.240
mindsets that help facilitate our role in this world. And
465
00:25:31.279 --> 00:25:33.759
we all have different roles, right, We've all got different purposes,
466
00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:37.640
We've all got different objectives that we need to accomplish,
467
00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:41.279
and yet there are mindsets, right or patterned ways of
468
00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:44.440
thinking that we know are conducive to high performance. And
469
00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:46.359
so we're going to be on this journey together and
470
00:25:46.480 --> 00:25:49.759
I am really really really looking forward to it. So again,
471
00:25:50.200 --> 00:25:53.640
mindset training. So you're championship mindset training that I want
472
00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:55.440
you to think about over the course of this week
473
00:25:55.440 --> 00:25:57.960
and work on an exercise before we get together again
474
00:25:58.039 --> 00:26:02.440
next Monday. I want you to identify what is one
475
00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:08.279
mindset that you feel like is helpful to you performing
476
00:26:09.119 --> 00:26:11.880
a specific task or a role that you have in
477
00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:15.960
your life. Okay, so what is one helpful, productive, positive
478
00:26:16.359 --> 00:26:20.559
mindset that you have about a person, about yourself, or
479
00:26:20.599 --> 00:26:24.559
about a situation that you think helps you be great
480
00:26:24.680 --> 00:26:29.440
at what you do? So, for example, the mindset, right,
481
00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:31.599
let's just use the example I used earlier, the mindset
482
00:26:31.640 --> 00:26:33.680
on the weather. I had a very poor mindset on
483
00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:36.440
South Bend weather before I am shifting and I am
484
00:26:36.519 --> 00:26:39.039
still in the process right, this is a process of
485
00:26:39.119 --> 00:26:43.519
shifting my mindset toward the ups and downs of the
486
00:26:43.559 --> 00:26:46.799
South Bend weather help prepare me for the ups and
487
00:26:46.839 --> 00:26:50.200
downs of life. And I'm choosing that mindset and seeing
488
00:26:50.279 --> 00:26:52.640
every day we have crazy weather where it starts out
489
00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:55.720
beautiful and it winds up like really cold or really
490
00:26:55.759 --> 00:26:58.519
windy or really rainy. Right, I'm seeing that as an
491
00:26:58.519 --> 00:27:02.200
opportunity to help me be more adaptable in life and
492
00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:05.640
remain flexible and still on my game regardless of how
493
00:27:05.680 --> 00:27:08.359
much sunshine's out there. So that would be an example
494
00:27:08.359 --> 00:27:12.279
of one positive mindset that I'm building. I also want
495
00:27:12.319 --> 00:27:15.720
you to identify what is one negative or hurtful or
496
00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:19.440
unproductive mindset that you have that is getting in your
497
00:27:19.599 --> 00:27:23.200
way of delivering your absolute best. Maybe that's a mindset
498
00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:26.000
that you have about a colleague, Maybe that's your mindset
499
00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:28.839
that you have about your company or your organization. And
500
00:27:28.920 --> 00:27:31.880
some of those might have some legitimate grounds to them,
501
00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:35.680
but I want to challenge you to identify that mindset
502
00:27:36.039 --> 00:27:39.880
and then try to build right down bullet point out
503
00:27:39.880 --> 00:27:42.759
what is the right way to be thinking about that situation,
504
00:27:43.359 --> 00:27:45.839
and as those negative thoughts start to pop into your
505
00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:47.519
head throughout the course of this week, I want you
506
00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:49.200
to grab a hold of them. I want you to
507
00:27:49.240 --> 00:27:51.599
replace them with the bullets that you wrote on the
508
00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:55.480
right mindset that you know is going to help position you, yourself,
509
00:27:55.559 --> 00:28:00.519
your team, your organization to be successful despite some of
510
00:28:00.559 --> 00:28:05.160
the realities that might exist surrounding that scenario. So again,
511
00:28:05.200 --> 00:28:07.519
your Championship mindset for training for the week is to
512
00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:11.559
identify one productive mindset that you have that you believe
513
00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:14.880
helps you be your very best and deliver your best.
514
00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:19.440
And secondly, a negative or an unproductive mindset that you
515
00:28:19.559 --> 00:28:22.880
had that you believe hinders your ability to be successful
516
00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:33.359
on a consistent basis. All right, well, it has been
517
00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:36.960
an awesome start to season two of Building Championship Mindsets
518
00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:40.160
the podcast. I'm really looking forward to spending the next
519
00:28:40.319 --> 00:28:43.200
several months with you throughout this journey of mindset. Mondays,
520
00:28:43.640 --> 00:28:45.920
if you would do me a huge favor and just
521
00:28:46.039 --> 00:28:49.000
rate and review our podcast on iTunes, that would really
522
00:28:49.079 --> 00:28:51.480
mean a lot and it really helps us be able
523
00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:55.440
to continue bringing great content to you for free. So again,
524
00:28:55.480 --> 00:28:57.240
if you could hop over to iTunes and just rate
525
00:28:57.240 --> 00:28:59.680
and review us real quick, we'd really really appreciate that.
526
00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:03.000
A couple other quick announcements. I was actually interviewed for
527
00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:07.079
a podcast called HR works Podcast, and that interview is
528
00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:10.079
going to be released on September fifth, just in time
529
00:29:10.079 --> 00:29:13.039
for the NFL season. But it's really looking at again
530
00:29:13.200 --> 00:29:16.960
the application of mindset training to the business space and
531
00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:19.640
specifically through the lens of HR. So I think that's
532
00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:22.920
a really interesting interview with that group there that's delivering
533
00:29:23.000 --> 00:29:26.599
some really excellent content to the HR world. So again,
534
00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:30.680
hr Works Podcast September fifth, and also our books are
535
00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:33.200

536

18
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:21.519
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Building Championship Mindsets the podcast.
19
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:24.560
I am your host, doctor Amber Selking, and I am
20
00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:27.159
so excited to be kicking off season two with you
21
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:30.840
entitled Mindset, mondays, we are going to be coming at
22
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:33.920
you every Monday for the next several months. How can
23
00:01:33.959 --> 00:01:35.719
you just get your mind right as you start the
24
00:01:35.760 --> 00:01:39.159
week and really dive into pursuing your excellence and whatever
25
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:42.719
field that is now most specifically we talk about from
26
00:01:42.719 --> 00:01:44.840
the locker room to the boardroom, so really from the
27
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:48.000
sports space to the business space of just understanding the
28
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:50.480
power of the mind and how we can better position
29
00:01:50.599 --> 00:01:54.799
ourselves to be successful on a more consistent basis. And
30
00:01:54.959 --> 00:01:57.879
just a little bit we are going to flesh out
31
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:00.239
a little bit more about how the season is is
32
00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:03.359
going to go in the format of the podcast, etc.
33
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:07.120
But before we go into that, I want to start
34
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:11.280
with recapping things that have gone on in my life
35
00:02:11.319 --> 00:02:15.120
personally and professionally over the last seven months. So a
36
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:18.120
lot has happened on all fronts, and I just want
37
00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:20.599
to bring everybody up to speed. One because it's really
38
00:02:20.639 --> 00:02:23.680
exciting stuff, and two because I think it gives us
39
00:02:23.719 --> 00:02:27.000
a really powerful understanding of just how we go about
40
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:31.879
applying mental performance in sports psychology into the fields of
41
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:35.520
sport and business. So first and foremost, for those of
42
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:39.240
you who are returning listening to the podcast, you may
43
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:42.360
notice that my name has changed from doctor Amber Lattner
44
00:02:42.439 --> 00:02:46.039
to doctor Amber Selking because one of the most monumentous
45
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:48.879
thing that's happened over the last four months is that
46
00:02:49.240 --> 00:02:51.080
I got to marry the man of my dreams.
47
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:54.080
So I got married to Aaron James Selking.
48
00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:57.960
On April twenty ninth, twenty seventeen, here in South Bend, Indiana,
49
00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:01.360
and it was quite honestly one of the best days
50
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:03.599
of my life. So for those of you who don't know,
51
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:05.919
I was a college soccer player here at the University
52
00:03:05.960 --> 00:03:08.000
of Notre Dame where Aaron and I now live in
53
00:03:08.039 --> 00:03:11.159
South Bend, Indiana, just across the street from campus. But
54
00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:13.719
my college soccer number was number twenty nine, and Aaron
55
00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:17.319
actually played college football at Trine University, where he wore
56
00:03:17.439 --> 00:03:18.000
number four.
57
00:03:18.479 --> 00:03:20.800
So part of the special day for us was that we.
58
00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:24.199
Got married on four twenty nine, twenty seventeen, so again
59
00:03:24.319 --> 00:03:27.840
his college football number, my college soccer number, and forever
60
00:03:28.039 --> 00:03:30.120
a date that will be a part of our lives.
61
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:32.759
And so with that being said, you know that has
62
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:36.159
really sort of shifted my own mindset, you know, about
63
00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:38.439
my work, about who I am as a woman, as
64
00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:41.520
a leader, as a professional, and now as a wife,
65
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:44.759
and I think that it offers a totally new lens
66
00:03:44.840 --> 00:03:47.639
to understand the power of the mind right and the
67
00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:51.840
importance of communication, and the importance of problem solving and
68
00:03:52.000 --> 00:03:55.919
dialogue around real issues that really matter. And so just
69
00:03:56.120 --> 00:03:58.879
like we can talk about mindset from the locker room
70
00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:01.800
to the boardroom, we also challenge our listeners to think
71
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:03.919
about how this applies in our day to day lives
72
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:07.159
with those that matter most to us. And so again,
73
00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:09.879
just a whole new season of life that we are
74
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:13.479
enjoying building our life together here in South Bend. Like
75
00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:16.839
I said, with our doberman pincher Rockney Mulligan. So he's
76
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:21.240
named after the legendary football coach New Rockney and the
77
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:23.639
Irish pub that sits just on the corner of Notre
78
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:28.600
Dame's campus, Mulligan's Irish Pub. Again, an amazing dog. We've
79
00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:31.879
got an amazing home, and just really excited about this
80
00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:35.639
next phase of life. So personally, that was sort of
81
00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:39.000
the biggest monument that happened, I guess over the last
82
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:41.160
several months. We had the opportunity to go to Greece
83
00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:44.399
for ten days and experience our honeymoon there together in
84
00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:47.639
Athens and Santorini, and then we hopped over to Mikono's
85
00:04:47.680 --> 00:04:49.560
for a couple days and it was an awesome ten days.
86
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:51.519
But it was great to be back because we both
87
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:54.600
have a lot going on. Aaron is the general manager
88
00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:58.240
and director of sales in their South Bend dealership, so
89
00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:01.240
he's third generation in a family trucking business. So they
90
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:05.480
have nine international truck dealerships across the tri state area
91
00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:08.560
of Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana, started by his grandpa and
92
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:11.160
led by his father and three uncles, which is an
93
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:14.959
amazing example of a family run business that's based in values,
94
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:18.920
that's based in worth work, ethic, and again just about
95
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:22.040
bringing that mindset every day that it's about winning, right,
96
00:05:22.079 --> 00:05:25.079
it's about sales, but it's about building relationships and it's
97
00:05:25.079 --> 00:05:28.480
about taking care of your people. And so Selking International
98
00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:29.959
is the name of the business, and they just do
99
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:33.079
an incredible job and embodiment of really what we talk
100
00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:35.480
about in this championship mindset in terms of how to
101
00:05:35.560 --> 00:05:39.079
run a business, but how to sustain a business, which
102
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:44.279
again his grandfather started back in the fifties, So that's
103
00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:47.759
an exciting aspect. There's also been several other professional opportunities
104
00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:49.120
that I've got to engage in, and.
105
00:05:49.079 --> 00:05:51.160
So I want to share a couple of those highlights
106
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:51.560
with you.
107
00:05:51.879 --> 00:05:54.240
Again just to help see what I've been doing, what
108
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:56.439
I've been working on, and how I've been continuing to
109
00:05:56.519 --> 00:06:01.120
try to gather information and knowledge and appliction of elements
110
00:06:01.120 --> 00:06:03.519
to share with you. I had the opportunity to go
111
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:06.279
spend a weekend dow at IMG Academy, where I had
112
00:06:06.279 --> 00:06:09.160
worked for two summers. But this was special because we
113
00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:11.639
had a sports psych think tank with a ton of
114
00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:17.720
young professionals in sports psychology across the country really be
115
00:06:17.720 --> 00:06:20.839
able to come in and share how they the best
116
00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:23.600
practices that they're using to apply and then again be
117
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:26.800
in this amazing facility that IMG offers. So I'll put
118
00:06:26.800 --> 00:06:28.279
a link down there that you can check it out.
119
00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:31.319
But it's an athletic training facility and boarding school that
120
00:06:31.439 --> 00:06:34.079
just really has state of the art facilities and people,
121
00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:37.160
and again are all about building mindsets that help people
122
00:06:37.240 --> 00:06:40.240
be successful in and out of sport. I also had
123
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:44.879
the chance to present in Atlanta at the National Coaching Conference,
124
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:48.920
where I had several presentations with my team through the
125
00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:52.560
Missouri Institute for Positive Coaching and Positive Coaching LLC different
126
00:06:52.600 --> 00:06:54.759
than Positive Coaching Alliance, which some of you might be
127
00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:58.519
aware of, but Positive Coaching in the Missouri Institute is
128
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:02.120
really about helping coaches have a better way to coach
129
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:05.279
and giving them a whole framework on becoming coaches that
130
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:07.839
not only build great people, but build great athletes and
131
00:07:07.879 --> 00:07:10.759
are is about optimal performance and everything that they do.
132
00:07:11.160 --> 00:07:14.560
And so perhaps you know the presentation that I enjoyed
133
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:17.319
most presenting down there was when we took our mental
134
00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:22.399
toughness framework, so the McGuire ivy Selking model of mental toughness.
135
00:07:22.439 --> 00:07:24.399
I'll put a link to an article that's been published
136
00:07:24.439 --> 00:07:26.839
on that model that we developed, but really looking at
137
00:07:26.839 --> 00:07:29.439
how to leverage this model of mental toughness into an
138
00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:32.959
athletic system and help individuals understand how we take that
139
00:07:33.040 --> 00:07:36.040
model and really leverage it to shape the overall approach
140
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:39.199
of how we're going about organizing our system instructure as
141
00:07:39.240 --> 00:07:42.240
an athletic department, but also how we leverage that model
142
00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:44.519
on a day to day basis to continue building a
143
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:48.079
culture of mental toughness and how our coaches and our
144
00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:52.639
athletes are functioning. Some other fun things here in South Bend.
145
00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:55.040
You know, there is a lot of exciting things happening.
146
00:07:55.079 --> 00:07:56.959
If you've not been to Notre Dame or back to
147
00:07:57.000 --> 00:07:59.480
South Bend, Indiana in a long time, I really want
148
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:02.040
to encourage you to come back because our city is
149
00:08:02.279 --> 00:08:04.920
on a total upswing. We've got a great mayor who
150
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:08.920
has done phenomenal work at the city level in terms
151
00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:12.680
of city planning and layout and engagement of the community.
152
00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:18.319
And we also have Beacon Sports Medicine and Beacon Sports Performance,
153
00:08:18.319 --> 00:08:21.399
which is a medical system here in South Bend that
154
00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:25.480
really takes a proactive health approach to health versus a
155
00:08:25.519 --> 00:08:28.720
reactionary approach. And so I've had the opportunity to partner
156
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:31.639
with them and their sports medicine doctors and their sports
157
00:08:31.680 --> 00:08:36.879
facility trainers, and I've done several presentations on understanding the
158
00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:39.480
role of the athletic trainer in the healing process from
159
00:08:39.480 --> 00:08:42.960
the mental perspective of athletes. I spoke with doctors on
160
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:45.799
how to optimize patient interactions. You know, our doctors have
161
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:48.600
very short windows of time with their patients, and so
162
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:53.200
optimizing that patient experience is really important in the healing
163
00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:55.919
process for the individual, but also in their ability to
164
00:08:55.960 --> 00:08:59.480
adhere to the protocols that the doctors and training trainers
165
00:08:59.519 --> 00:09:02.000
are trying to get them to help get them back
166
00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:05.279
up to speed, and so really again helping individuals in
167
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:08.879
this space understanding more about how the brain works and
168
00:09:08.919 --> 00:09:13.360
the psychology behind healing and relationships and recovery and motivation, etc.
169
00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:17.480
So that has been an incredible opportunity over the last
170
00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:20.440
several months to partner with them and their doctors and
171
00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:24.159
their staff on just better understanding the mental side of
172
00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:26.840
performance and the mental side of healing and training, etc.
173
00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:30.679
Another great opportunity I was asked to serve on the
174
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:34.559
Athletic Advisory Council for South Bend Public Schools, and there
175
00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:38.399
is just an incredible group of professionals both within the
176
00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:42.159
school district but also within the community who are committed
177
00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:45.919
to really transforming the culture and the experience that our
178
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:50.559
young student athletes experience as members of South Bend Community Schools.
179
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:55.480
And so within that again partnering with people from the
180
00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:59.799
spiritual world, to the business world, to the media, to
181
00:10:00.240 --> 00:10:03.480
sports psychology and really looking at how we can create
182
00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:07.159
a better sport experience that it gets our kids more
183
00:10:07.159 --> 00:10:10.840
engaged right and has sport have the effect that it
184
00:10:10.919 --> 00:10:13.679
can and should have in these kids' lives, which is
185
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:16.000
getting them more motivated, helping them learn to be fit
186
00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:19.879
for life, keeping their grades up, being engaged in their
187
00:10:19.879 --> 00:10:23.720
school and their classroom, and ultimately instilling within them skills
188
00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:26.039
that are going to transfer long beyond high school and
189
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:29.120
long beyond their sports in terms of leadership, in terms
190
00:10:29.120 --> 00:10:32.799
of communication and responsibility and doing things that you don't
191
00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:36.320
necessarily like to do, and also helping equip our coaches
192
00:10:36.360 --> 00:10:39.000
through that process as well. So that's just been an
193
00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:41.799
exciting opportunity to be a part of our community and
194
00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:45.120
really hopefully have a positive change in this area that
195
00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:48.399
Aaron and I get to call home. I had the
196
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:51.039
opportunity to go up to Detroit and consult with BOSH
197
00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:55.919
and one of their teams within that big organization, really
198
00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:58.200
diverse team, a group of people coming from all over
199
00:10:58.240 --> 00:10:59.799
the world. So we did a lot of team to
200
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:03.840
development and application of strengths within that team to help
201
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:07.399
amplify and achieve goals. And so again looking at how
202
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:11.080
we apply this sort of understanding of optimal performance and
203
00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:14.200
human performance in the business space, even when there's a
204
00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:17.840
lot of diversity that exists, and perhaps even because a
205
00:11:17.879 --> 00:11:21.559
lot of diversity should exist, and inherently within diversity, their
206
00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:24.519
lives power for better problem solving if we know how
207
00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:27.320
to leverage that properly. So that was an awesome opportunity
208
00:11:28.240 --> 00:11:30.519
for me to go up there and share that with
209
00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:34.840
their corporation. We're in the process of a total website
210
00:11:34.919 --> 00:11:38.320
redesign which is just launched, so we really want to encourage.
211
00:11:38.039 --> 00:11:38.879
You to check that out.
212
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:41.799
My tech guy, as I call him, Michael Yoda, he
213
00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:45.039
has his own company called Truthworks Media and has just
214
00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:49.159
done a phenomenal job at helping rejuvenate the brand and
215
00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:52.840
reposition us as we go forward to continue helping to
216
00:11:52.879 --> 00:11:54.039
transform those mindsets.
217
00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:55.600
So check us out www.
218
00:11:55.720 --> 00:11:58.960
Dot Selkingperformance dot com, take a look, send us some feedback.
219
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:02.879
We're always about continual growth and improvement and love to
220
00:12:02.919 --> 00:12:05.519
hear what you think about it. I had the opportunity
221
00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:08.720
to be the MC at a local leadership event called
222
00:12:08.799 --> 00:12:11.799
Lead USA, where we actually had doctor Eric Thomas so
223
00:12:11.879 --> 00:12:14.039
Et As some of you might better know him. He's
224
00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:16.600
known as the Hip Hop Preacher. He's an incredible motivational
225
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:19.360
speaker and is just doing incredible work out in the
226
00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:22.039
world in terms of helping people understand the potential within
227
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:24.919
themselves how to get out of their own way, get
228
00:12:24.960 --> 00:12:28.000
on their grind and go out and be great and
229
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:30.639
et I leverage his videos and a lot of work
230
00:12:30.639 --> 00:12:32.360
that I do. So it was an honor and a
231
00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:36.039
privilege to be able to introduce him to a group
232
00:12:36.080 --> 00:12:40.679
of fifteen hundred live with another two thousand individual streaming
233
00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:42.759
from across the country, and to be able to just
234
00:12:42.840 --> 00:12:45.840
share his message or tee him up to share his
235
00:12:45.960 --> 00:12:48.960
message about hard work and the grind and the belief
236
00:12:49.039 --> 00:12:53.720
that it takes in yourself and your abilities, and just
237
00:12:53.960 --> 00:12:56.759
the belief in the type of effort that you can
238
00:12:56.799 --> 00:12:58.279
put forth that will manifest.
239
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:01.080
So that was a powerful, really awesome experience.
240
00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:04.519
I've been working on some books and so we're going
241
00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:06.919
to put some links in there for you to go
242
00:13:07.399 --> 00:13:10.080
check out on Amazon some books that a book that
243
00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:12.679
we've published, and just so you know, there's more in
244
00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:15.200
the pipeline. So we're looking at our building blocks, so
245
00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:17.919
the eight building blocks of the Mental Performance Foundation, which
246
00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:21.559
we really encompassed season one, and then also this model
247
00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:25.679
of mental toughness that I referenced also another resource for
248
00:13:25.720 --> 00:13:28.000
you to start to understand how does the brain work,
249
00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:30.679
how does the mind work, how do systems work, people work,
250
00:13:30.759 --> 00:13:34.000
processes work, and how can we be more strategic in
251
00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:38.879
advancing the mental and emotional capacities of us as individuals
252
00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:41.360
but also the teams and systems and organizations of.
253
00:13:41.360 --> 00:13:42.000
Which we are part.
254
00:13:42.039 --> 00:13:44.639
So please check those out, and again we'd love your
255
00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:49.679
feedback and to hear from you. Two other fun things
256
00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:52.080
that are going on that I've been up to, I'm
257
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:55.519
actually going to be teaching this fall in Notre Dame's
258
00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:57.279
business school, the Mendoza College of Business.
259
00:13:57.320 --> 00:13:59.440
I will be teaching strategic HR management.
260
00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:02.519
Some of you know, part of my background immediately following
261
00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:06.679
undergrad where I graduated from Notre Dame and management consulting
262
00:14:06.720 --> 00:14:09.799
major was I worked in a global manufacturing company in HR,
263
00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:13.840
and so that is part of my heart behind helping
264
00:14:14.039 --> 00:14:17.440
the business space also understand the power of mindset and
265
00:14:17.559 --> 00:14:20.039
leadership and how to leverage that to transform people in
266
00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:23.399
systems and achieve sustainable results. And so I'm really looking
267
00:14:23.440 --> 00:14:26.840
forward to the opportunity to just pour into these kids'
268
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:31.440
lives and minds and helping them learn the craft of
269
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:34.600
HR from a technical tactical standpoint, but also the art
270
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:38.919
of human resource management and how that really looks and
271
00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:42.519
means and can be meaningful in organizations, from small organizations
272
00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:45.519
to large organizations. So I'm really looking forward to that.
273
00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:54.000
Tom Mendoza is an incredible benefactor and leader and role
274
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:57.240
model of what great business people can do in this
275
00:14:57.320 --> 00:15:02.720
world if they position themselves rightly and hone their craft
276
00:15:02.879 --> 00:15:06.559
from a technical standpoint, from a tactical standpoint, but also
277
00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:10.399
from this mental standpoint. And so as a graduate of
278
00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:13.879
the business school that he helped bring to life at
279
00:15:13.919 --> 00:15:16.559
Notre Dame, I'm really honored to be back in the
280
00:15:16.600 --> 00:15:20.120
classroom and now also helping shape the hearts and the
281
00:15:20.159 --> 00:15:23.919
minds and the work of the next generation of these
282
00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:29.200
world changers. So that's exciting. And then from the athletic perspective,
283
00:15:29.919 --> 00:15:32.759
I'm officially the mental performance coach for Notre Dame football
284
00:15:32.919 --> 00:15:35.200
and so I've been working with coach Brian Kelly since
285
00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:37.559
January of this year and been working with the team
286
00:15:37.679 --> 00:15:41.879
since February and really helping them develop the mindset that
287
00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:45.440
it's going to take to achieve their mission right, which
288
00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:48.000
is always to graduate from the University of Notre Dame
289
00:15:48.039 --> 00:15:51.399
and to win a national championship. And it has been
290
00:15:51.519 --> 00:15:55.600
an incredible experience so far, and it's only going to
291
00:15:55.639 --> 00:15:57.919
get better. We've got an amazing group of coaches, an
292
00:15:57.919 --> 00:16:00.360
amazing group of young men, and a lot of my
293
00:16:00.440 --> 00:16:03.399
day is spent with them and with the coaches and
294
00:16:03.440 --> 00:16:05.919
with the staff, and so really looking forward to an
295
00:16:05.919 --> 00:16:10.200
incredible fall. So again, a lot going on here in
296
00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:14.960
South Bend, Indiana, both from an overall community standpoint, but
297
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:17.960
also from a personal standpoint. And I know we took
298
00:16:17.960 --> 00:16:20.279
a little hiatus there over the summertime, but I hope
299
00:16:20.320 --> 00:16:24.600
you can appreciate why, and also be looking forward to
300
00:16:24.639 --> 00:16:27.000
all of the insights that are going to continually be
301
00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:30.159
derived from the work that we've been doing in these
302
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:34.679
various spaces. Additionally, within all of that that's happening, I
303
00:16:34.720 --> 00:16:37.320
hope you can see again just the power of mindset
304
00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:40.399
and leadership and how it really does extend from the
305
00:16:40.440 --> 00:16:44.039
locker room to the boardroom and can be very specialized
306
00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:48.279
and applied to whatever domain you're in. And again, as
307
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:51.679
we go through the course of this season, mindset mondays,
308
00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:55.000
we're going to be kicking our weeks off right right
309
00:16:55.039 --> 00:16:58.840
to go into the week, to go into the battle,
310
00:16:58.879 --> 00:17:01.679
if you will, whatever that is, and not to minimize
311
00:17:01.720 --> 00:17:04.119
the actual battles that our men and women are fighting
312
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:09.000
for us from a military standpoint, but the demands that
313
00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:11.519
are placed on us in throughout the course of a week,
314
00:17:11.559 --> 00:17:14.759
both personally and professionally, so that we can set our
315
00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:19.039
minds on the things and the people and the processes
316
00:17:19.079 --> 00:17:22.880
that we need to position ourselves to be successful and
317
00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:25.680
to have the type of impact and influence that we
318
00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:29.079
seek to have. So again, for those of you that
319
00:17:29.119 --> 00:17:31.720
were with us in season one, you've heard the discussion
320
00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:35.319
around mindset, but to refresh your memory, and for those
321
00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:38.720
of you who are just joining us, when we say mindset, right,
322
00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:41.960
a mindset is just a patterned way of thinking, and
323
00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:45.160
we have mindsets about everything, right, So we have patterned
324
00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:49.200
ways of thinking about everything. About the weather of where
325
00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:51.400
you live, right, The weather in South Bend, Indiana is
326
00:17:51.440 --> 00:17:53.319
all over the place, So people that live here have
327
00:17:53.359 --> 00:17:56.839
a very distinct mindset about the weather. And I actually
328
00:17:56.920 --> 00:17:58.680
had to shift my mindset a little bit when I
329
00:17:58.759 --> 00:18:02.240
realized that I was moving back here full time and
330
00:18:02.720 --> 00:18:06.400
really starting to see my mindset on the weather in
331
00:18:06.440 --> 00:18:08.440
South Bend has shifted. Yes it gets really hot in
332
00:18:08.440 --> 00:18:11.079
the summertime, and yes it gets really cold in the wintertime,
333
00:18:11.480 --> 00:18:15.400
and that winter seems to last for a very long time. However,
334
00:18:16.039 --> 00:18:19.119
I am starting to shift my mindset. One because my
335
00:18:19.240 --> 00:18:22.400
husband has promised two warm vacations a year. He thinks
336
00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:25.680
it was one, but it is two, Aaron FYI.
337
00:18:26.160 --> 00:18:27.319
So that's been helpful.
338
00:18:27.319 --> 00:18:30.240
But even more than that, I think just really understanding that, yes,
339
00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:32.680
the weather does change and it is invariable, but that's
340
00:18:32.759 --> 00:18:36.079
also helping condition us and the people of South Bend
341
00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:40.960
to be adaptable and to be able to execute in
342
00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:43.799
any and all circumstances. And that's really what we've been
343
00:18:43.839 --> 00:18:47.160
talking a lot about, from the South Bend Public Schools
344
00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:49.799
to Notre Dame and really looking at how can we
345
00:18:49.880 --> 00:18:53.640
build mindsets that are conducive to us being successful and
346
00:18:53.839 --> 00:18:59.039
us approaching situations and experiences and adversity with a mindset
347
00:18:59.319 --> 00:19:02.640
that we are prepared to execute and prepared to show
348
00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:06.799
up and prepared to deliver our absolute best regardless of
349
00:19:06.839 --> 00:19:09.920
what might be going on outside of us. And so again,
350
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:14.599
this mindset, right patterned ways of thinking mindset Monday is
351
00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:19.279
going to be all about helping you identify and build
352
00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:23.680
mindsets or patterned ways of thinking about how you operate
353
00:19:23.720 --> 00:19:26.880
in this world in a way that again will help
354
00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:32.720
you deliver results consistently, both in your personal life, professionally,
355
00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:36.039
in your homes and your communities, et cetera. And so
356
00:19:36.160 --> 00:19:38.279
every week, every Monday, we're going to kick it off
357
00:19:38.359 --> 00:19:42.000
looking at a different a different way to think about
358
00:19:42.039 --> 00:19:45.400
a topic or a scenario. So, for example, we're going
359
00:19:45.440 --> 00:19:47.759
to go back through the building blocks. Briefly, We're not
360
00:19:47.799 --> 00:19:50.200
going to dive into them because that was all season one,
361
00:19:50.480 --> 00:19:52.240
but we're going to take the building blocks and talk
362
00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:54.920
about the right mindsets that we need to develop around
363
00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:57.880
awareness and the power that awareness can have and helping
364
00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:01.799
us enhance everything in our lives. Okay, we're going to
365
00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:06.960
look at the mindset of the big game. So throughout
366
00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:08.720
the course of a season, we're going to be going
367
00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:12.400
through playoffs, right the NFL season's coming up, College football
368
00:20:12.400 --> 00:20:15.000
season's coming up, and there's going to be big games.
369
00:20:15.039 --> 00:20:17.160
We need to talk about what that mindset looks like
370
00:20:17.240 --> 00:20:20.000
and can be and should be. So stay tuned with
371
00:20:20.079 --> 00:20:23.279
us throughout the course of the next several months. Again,
372
00:20:23.319 --> 00:20:27.039
we're going to be coming to you live every Monday,
373
00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:30.039
kicking off a mindset Monday to again just help you
374
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:34.559
set your mind on things that will help you optimize
375
00:20:34.559 --> 00:20:37.519
yourself and your role. We want to start the week
376
00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:41.960
strong and then hopefully position you to end the week strong. Right,
377
00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:44.559
So start strong, finished strong, that's where we want to get.
378
00:20:46.279 --> 00:20:48.799
Similarly to last season, we are going to end every
379
00:20:48.880 --> 00:20:52.640
episode with some championship mindset training, so specific things that
380
00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:56.000
you can do to condition your mind right and build
381
00:20:56.039 --> 00:21:00.000
these mindsets that lead to optimal performance. Because here's the thing, right,
382
00:21:00.079 --> 00:21:02.160
our brain is sort of like a muscle, So you
383
00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:05.240
don't walk into the gym one day and expect to
384
00:21:05.279 --> 00:21:08.799
walk out swol and fit and ready to go dominate
385
00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:11.119
right and look like have the body you want.
386
00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:11.359
Right.
387
00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:15.200
That takes time, that takes effort, that takes discipline. Well,
388
00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:18.480
the same goes with our mind, our mind. We must
389
00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:22.519
be consistent, we must be disciplined, we must be rigorous
390
00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:26.920
because our minds are powerful, right as we as we know,
391
00:21:27.039 --> 00:21:31.319
our thoughts affect our emotions, which affect our physiological response, right,
392
00:21:31.400 --> 00:21:35.000
or our body's response, and ultimately that's what's going to
393
00:21:35.079 --> 00:21:39.000
dictate our performance. Again, the process that we know from
394
00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:42.759
a sports science standpoint is that our thoughts affect our emotions,
395
00:21:42.799 --> 00:21:44.400
which affect our body's response.
396
00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:44.599
Right.
397
00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:48.240
So that's your heart rate, your muscle tension, your hormonal releases,
398
00:21:48.319 --> 00:21:52.000
your visual field, and ultimately it's those things that are
399
00:21:52.039 --> 00:21:56.519
going to impact your performance. The thing that starts that
400
00:21:56.559 --> 00:22:00.480
whole process are your thoughts, right, And the beautiful part
401
00:22:00.519 --> 00:22:04.160
is we get to control and choose our thoughts.
402
00:22:04.359 --> 00:22:05.200
Now here's the reality.
403
00:22:05.279 --> 00:22:05.400
Right.
404
00:22:05.440 --> 00:22:07.839
We can't always choose or control what thoughts try to
405
00:22:07.880 --> 00:22:10.599
pop into our head, but we can choose are we
406
00:22:10.640 --> 00:22:12.759
gonna hold onto those thoughts or are we going to
407
00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:13.279
let them go?
408
00:22:13.680 --> 00:22:13.839
Right?
409
00:22:13.880 --> 00:22:17.519
So the difference between humans and other species. Or we
410
00:22:17.599 --> 00:22:20.079
have a brain, right, that's the physical mass that you have,
411
00:22:20.440 --> 00:22:22.759
but we also have a mind, and the mind sort
412
00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:25.039
of hovers above the brain, if you will, and it's
413
00:22:25.079 --> 00:22:27.799
that selection piece that gets to choose. Okay, am I
414
00:22:27.839 --> 00:22:31.880
gonna let this thought come in, because repeated thoughts are
415
00:22:31.920 --> 00:22:35.799
what build mindsets. Right. Mindsets are patterned ways of thinking.
416
00:22:35.880 --> 00:22:41.119
Mindsets are protein patterns that actually get built into our mind. Yes,
417
00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:46.279
our thoughts actually change the form and function of your brain.
418
00:22:46.960 --> 00:22:53.160
Those that have recurrent, positive, powerful, productive, optimistic thoughts. Right.
419
00:22:53.240 --> 00:22:56.319
That could sound soft and fluffy and light, but the
420
00:22:56.359 --> 00:22:59.759
reality of it is those that think that way think
421
00:22:59.799 --> 00:23:03.400
more clearly think more creatively and they problem solve better.
422
00:23:04.359 --> 00:23:06.960
There's nobody out there, from the sports space to the
423
00:23:06.960 --> 00:23:09.440
business space to the life space that can tell me
424
00:23:09.720 --> 00:23:12.440
that thinking clearly, thinking creatively and being able to problem
425
00:23:12.480 --> 00:23:15.759
solve is not going to help optimize your performance. Right
426
00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:19.000
And so if we have the choice, which we do,
427
00:23:19.680 --> 00:23:22.880
to build those types of mindsets, then what we need
428
00:23:22.920 --> 00:23:26.079
to first and foremost do is start getting a grasp
429
00:23:26.200 --> 00:23:29.359
on what thoughts we're thinking, What are we thinking about,
430
00:23:29.400 --> 00:23:32.039
what recurring thoughts do we have, And when our mind
431
00:23:32.160 --> 00:23:35.119
recognizes a right thought, then we want to hold onto it,
432
00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:37.880
keep it there, repeat it, build a mindset around that.
433
00:23:38.319 --> 00:23:43.000
But when our mind recognizes wrong thoughts, unproductive thoughts right
434
00:23:43.279 --> 00:23:48.880
negative can be a disturbing connotation or a confusing connotation,
435
00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:52.279
but more productive right unproductive thoughts, then we need to
436
00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:55.680
release that and replace it with the right thought, with
437
00:23:55.720 --> 00:23:58.559
a productive thought that is going to again build the
438
00:23:58.680 --> 00:24:02.799
mindsets or the path ways of thinking about that situation
439
00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:05.799
that will position us to be successful at the end
440
00:24:05.839 --> 00:24:08.759
of our day. Our mindsets control us what we think
441
00:24:08.799 --> 00:24:12.920
about people and believe about ourselves and situations in scenarios
442
00:24:13.279 --> 00:24:15.960
is going to determine and dictate how we react and
443
00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:18.720
respond to those, And so we have to be very
444
00:24:18.759 --> 00:24:22.319
conscious and very cognizant about the thoughts that we are having,
445
00:24:22.680 --> 00:24:27.240
because those are building mindsets or actual protein patterns in
446
00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:30.559
our brain that are either positioning us to be successful. Right,
447
00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:34.920
those protein patterns look like vibrant electrical activity in the
448
00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:39.880
neurons in your brain. But those negative, pessimistic, anxious, depressive
449
00:24:40.000 --> 00:24:43.559
thoughts and mindsets that can get built up in our mind, right,
450
00:24:43.599 --> 00:24:46.480
those exist as well, But those on a brain scan
451
00:24:46.839 --> 00:24:49.279
almost look like gray holes, and the neurons look a
452
00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:51.720
little bit withered and they're not active.
453
00:24:52.000 --> 00:24:52.240
Right.
454
00:24:52.839 --> 00:24:55.720
So the beautiful part is what we wired in we
455
00:24:55.799 --> 00:24:58.880
can wire out. So if you've historically had very negative
456
00:24:58.920 --> 00:25:02.440
thinking and very pessive, mystic and very hurtful type thoughts,
457
00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:05.319
we can wire those out by replacing those with the
458
00:25:05.359 --> 00:25:09.839
right thoughts. But again, that takes time, that takes discipline,
459
00:25:10.319 --> 00:25:13.799
that takes consistency, and so over the course of season two,
460
00:25:13.920 --> 00:25:17.160
I'm going to consistently come to you on Mondays and
461
00:25:17.319 --> 00:25:20.160
share what I'm thinking about, what I'm learning, what we're
462
00:25:20.160 --> 00:25:23.000
applying in all of these spaces, and together we're going
463
00:25:23.079 --> 00:25:27.279
to continue to build this championship mindset, right, These championship
464
00:25:27.319 --> 00:25:31.240
mindsets that help facilitate our role in this world. And
465
00:25:31.279 --> 00:25:33.759
we all have different roles, right, We've all got different purposes,
466
00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:37.640
We've all got different objectives that we need to accomplish,
467
00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:41.279
and yet there are mindsets, right or patterned ways of
468
00:25:41.319 --> 00:25:44.440
thinking that we know are conducive to high performance. And
469
00:25:44.480 --> 00:25:46.359
so we're going to be on this journey together and
470
00:25:46.480 --> 00:25:49.759
I am really really really looking forward to it. So again,
471
00:25:50.200 --> 00:25:53.640
mindset training. So you're championship mindset training that I want
472
00:25:53.680 --> 00:25:55.440
you to think about over the course of this week
473
00:25:55.440 --> 00:25:57.960
and work on an exercise before we get together again
474
00:25:58.039 --> 00:26:02.440
next Monday. I want you to identify what is one
475
00:26:02.799 --> 00:26:08.279
mindset that you feel like is helpful to you performing
476
00:26:09.119 --> 00:26:11.880
a specific task or a role that you have in
477
00:26:11.920 --> 00:26:15.960
your life. Okay, so what is one helpful, productive, positive
478
00:26:16.359 --> 00:26:20.559
mindset that you have about a person, about yourself, or
479
00:26:20.599 --> 00:26:24.559
about a situation that you think helps you be great
480
00:26:24.680 --> 00:26:29.440
at what you do? So, for example, the mindset, right,
481
00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:31.599
let's just use the example I used earlier, the mindset
482
00:26:31.640 --> 00:26:33.680
on the weather. I had a very poor mindset on
483
00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:36.440
South Bend weather before I am shifting and I am
484
00:26:36.519 --> 00:26:39.039
still in the process right, this is a process of
485
00:26:39.119 --> 00:26:43.519
shifting my mindset toward the ups and downs of the
486
00:26:43.559 --> 00:26:46.799
South Bend weather help prepare me for the ups and
487
00:26:46.839 --> 00:26:50.200
downs of life. And I'm choosing that mindset and seeing
488
00:26:50.279 --> 00:26:52.640
every day we have crazy weather where it starts out
489
00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:55.720
beautiful and it winds up like really cold or really
490
00:26:55.759 --> 00:26:58.519
windy or really rainy. Right, I'm seeing that as an
491
00:26:58.519 --> 00:27:02.200
opportunity to help me be more adaptable in life and
492
00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:05.640
remain flexible and still on my game regardless of how
493
00:27:05.680 --> 00:27:08.359
much sunshine's out there. So that would be an example
494
00:27:08.359 --> 00:27:12.279
of one positive mindset that I'm building. I also want
495
00:27:12.319 --> 00:27:15.720
you to identify what is one negative or hurtful or
496
00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:19.440
unproductive mindset that you have that is getting in your
497
00:27:19.599 --> 00:27:23.200
way of delivering your absolute best. Maybe that's a mindset
498
00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:26.000
that you have about a colleague, Maybe that's your mindset
499
00:27:26.000 --> 00:27:28.839
that you have about your company or your organization. And
500
00:27:28.920 --> 00:27:31.880
some of those might have some legitimate grounds to them,
501
00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:35.680
but I want to challenge you to identify that mindset
502
00:27:36.039 --> 00:27:39.880
and then try to build right down bullet point out
503
00:27:39.880 --> 00:27:42.759
what is the right way to be thinking about that situation,
504
00:27:43.359 --> 00:27:45.839
and as those negative thoughts start to pop into your
505
00:27:45.839 --> 00:27:47.519
head throughout the course of this week, I want you
506
00:27:47.599 --> 00:27:49.200
to grab a hold of them. I want you to
507
00:27:49.240 --> 00:27:51.599
replace them with the bullets that you wrote on the
508
00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:55.480
right mindset that you know is going to help position you, yourself,
509
00:27:55.559 --> 00:28:00.519
your team, your organization to be successful despite some of
510
00:28:00.559 --> 00:28:05.160
the realities that might exist surrounding that scenario. So again,
511
00:28:05.200 --> 00:28:07.519
your Championship mindset for training for the week is to
512
00:28:07.599 --> 00:28:11.559
identify one productive mindset that you have that you believe
513
00:28:11.680 --> 00:28:14.880
helps you be your very best and deliver your best.
514
00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:19.440
And secondly, a negative or an unproductive mindset that you
515
00:28:19.559 --> 00:28:22.880
had that you believe hinders your ability to be successful
516
00:28:22.880 --> 00:28:33.359
on a consistent basis. All right, well, it has been
517
00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:36.960
an awesome start to season two of Building Championship Mindsets
518
00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:40.160
the podcast. I'm really looking forward to spending the next
519
00:28:40.319 --> 00:28:43.200
several months with you throughout this journey of mindset. Mondays,
520
00:28:43.640 --> 00:28:45.920
if you would do me a huge favor and just
521
00:28:46.039 --> 00:28:49.000
rate and review our podcast on iTunes, that would really
522
00:28:49.079 --> 00:28:51.480
mean a lot and it really helps us be able
523
00:28:51.480 --> 00:28:55.440
to continue bringing great content to you for free. So again,
524
00:28:55.480 --> 00:28:57.240
if you could hop over to iTunes and just rate
525
00:28:57.240 --> 00:28:59.680
and review us real quick, we'd really really appreciate that.
526
00:29:00.039 --> 00:29:03.000
A couple other quick announcements. I was actually interviewed for
527
00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:07.079
a podcast called HR works Podcast, and that interview is
528
00:29:07.119 --> 00:29:10.079
going to be released on September fifth, just in time
529
00:29:10.079 --> 00:29:13.039
for the NFL season. But it's really looking at again
530
00:29:13.200 --> 00:29:16.960
the application of mindset training to the business space and
531
00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:19.640
specifically through the lens of HR. So I think that's
532
00:29:19.799 --> 00:29:22.920
a really interesting interview with that group there that's delivering
533
00:29:23.000 --> 00:29:26.599
some really excellent content to the HR world. So again,
534
00:29:26.799 --> 00:29:30.680

535
00:29:30.759 --> 00:29:33.200
