Monday Morning Review.
Hi guys,
I hope this finds everyone safe and well.
Welcome to the very first Wandering Bear Sports Monday Morning Review were we share things we have learnt, thoughts we have had or just general things we are exploring from the past week in the Wandering Bear Sports Universe. Enjoy…
A quote that has made me think.
“Most men live lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the music still in them” Henry David Thoreau
A Book i will read again.
Atomic Habits by James Clear.
Website : https://jamesclear.com/atomic-habits
To be honest i listened to the audiobook, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that this is one of the most important books i have ever come across and it came into my life at exactly the right time. Embarking out into the wild worlds that are content creation, media and coaching have bought about its fair share of mental challenges. Throw in another Lockdown on top of that and its fair to say a large amount of doubt has crept in.
Realising that to get to where i want to go will take years and years of deliberate practice and will be the result of the systems that i put in place and cultivate now has helped me immensely. No one is the finished product straight away and the accumulation of knowledge and skills required to be at the level i want to get to won’t happen overnight.
A Podcast worth listening too.
The High Performance Podcast
Episode: Ben Francis: How to step back to take a leap forward
Website: https://www.thehighperformancepodcast.com/episodes/benfrancis
I first discovered Damian Hughes and Jake Humphreys outstanding podcast series where they interview world class performers through the conversation they had with England Rugby Coach Eddie Jones. This episode with 29 year old founder and CEO of Gym Shark Ben Francis is well worth a listen. Ben gives some fantastic insights into what makes him tick and its easy to see why he has had the success he has had at such a young age. Diving into this series is well worth it for anyone that wants to explore their own potential.
A YouTube Series i am obsessed with.
Building The Browns.
Check out their YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/c/browns
The Building the Browns Series gives you a behind the scenes look at the inner workings of the Cleveland Browns NFL team. From the players all the way up to the Coach and the general manager this series is a fantastic insight into what goes into making a sports team work at the highest levels. If you watch it over the last couple of seasons you can really see why the Browns have started to have some success under GM Andrew Berry and Head Coach Kevin Stefanski.
A ritual i have started.
For those of you that don’t know Sydney is back in lockdown. After feeling sorry for myself the first few days i decided that i would try and make the most of a bad situation. Apart from a couple of rainy days i have been getting up at 5:30am and walking to the highest point above the Cronulla sand dunes to watch the sun rise. I can’t even begin tell you the benefits this has had on me psychologically. No matter what happens for the rest of the day I’ve done something awesome. Worth a try.
What i am going to LEARN this week.
Adobe Premiere. Even if i go insane i will learn Adobe Premiere.
