Mind Set Game Podcast

Although I was a multisport athlete, basketball was always my first love. I followed my passion to the University of South Carolina, where I won an NIT Championship in Madison Square Garden in 2006. After playing in college, I moved to Ireland, where I got my teaching degree in physical education and sports science at the University of Limerick, one of the top universities in Europe for sports education. I’ve coached for over 12 years in Ireland, Lithuania, Tennessee, and Pennsylvania. During my time in Ireland, I coached over 30 teams in five years. In a nutshell, I’ve coached a lot of basketball!

Finally, restructuring our inner dialogue to Sweet Talk, the self-talk that honours the power of our existence over the other’s opinion.

A couple of late nights of research later, Johnny discovers that not only is there an overwhelming amount of evidence about the benefits of exercising in cooler temperatures, but also that out of the 36,000 fitness concepts in the U.S., zero—yes, zero—operate below 72°F. Johnny rapid fires an email in all-caps to Jimmy: WE HAVE TO DO THIS. But first, they put the evidence to the test. Inside the 38°F beer fridge of Sixpoint Brewery in Brooklyn, Jimmy and Johnny perform their first cool-climate workout trial and LOVE IT. And that’s not the beer talking. The proof? In May of 2018, they open the world’s first cool temperature fitness studio in Manhattan’s Flatiron/Chelsea neighbourhood.   You can learn more about The BRRRN by visiting their website thebrrrn.com and you can connect with them through their Facebook.  For more information about Mind Set Game connect with us on Facebook @mindsetgamepodcast For more information about James Roberts (the host of the podcast), visit fitamputee.co.uk and connect with me

In decision making and psychology, decision fatigue refers to the deteriorating quality of decisions made by an individual after a long session of decision making. It is now understood as one of the causes of irrational trade-offs in decision making. For me, and I talked about this a few days when I was doing an interview on the podcast 10-minute Mindset with Mario Porreca - 10 Minute Mindset. Yes, I referred to gratitude and appreciating the small wins, but the same can be said when wanting to overcome decision fatigue. As when I was a child decision where made for me thus I had simplicity. When I was an athlete, I had structure and planning (I had my whole year mapped out). And finally, where I am today, with business and life, this now where I have the greatest struggles with decision fatigue because you don't think things are quite ready to be put out there, it is 'perfect enough'. So here is: 5 Ways to Overcome Decision Fatigue and Boost Willpower that both you and I can use going forward. - Plan da

Mugzy had to fight through his adolescent years. Struggling with deep internal stress, he found inspiration in Eminem after his first encounter with Hip-Hop when he heard the song 'The Way I Am'. Mugzy felt that he could strongly relate to the lyrics in Eminem's songs & began to change his image to be a true representative of the Hip-Hop culture. As he developed his style and studied Hip-Hop, he found further inspiration from the legends: 2 Pac, Biggie, 50 Cent, DMX, & searched further into the roots of Hip-Hop to re-discover artists like Public Enemy, NWA & Nas. Drawing inspiration from the masters of Hip-Hop & armed with the knowledge earned through years of hardship, Mugzy's rap speaks of truth. A raw truth. A truth that will resound with teenagers that have had to endure self-doubt & lack of confidence. Mugzy emerged from the shadow through Hip-Hop & found a way to express himself through his music by embracing the culture. You can connect with them through his Facebook.  For mo
