When adversity blindsides you, you’re facing a life crossroad or you realize your expectations will not be manifested, three inner voices will simultaneously vie for your attention. The first two are “The Victim” and “The Judge.” These two shameless advisors seek to keep your eyes on the rear view mirror. They hold you back by creating more confusion and chaos. They bring excuses, blame, agitation, frustration and even anger rather than decisive solutions to the challenge at hand. The third advisor is “The Champion,” the inner voice of hope that will lead you forward. It’s here that the negative chapter closes and a new chapter of your life opens….. a chapter of positive reinvention.
On this episode of the Jim Fannin Show, former MLB outfielder Casper Wells shares the story of how his promising career was cut short by a botched eye procedure. Despite a rocket arm, ability to hit a baseball solid and a great feel for the game, Casper’s performance began to spiral downward. He was not able to remain in the majors because his vision had changed just enough that he could no longer pick up the spin, speed and location of a pitched baseball. The Victim, The Judge and The Champion all wanted his attention.
It would be easy to sit down in the dirt, blame others and give up all hope for the future. But Casper chose to ignore The Victim and The Judge and stepped into a new life with The Champion by his side. Find out in this episode how Casper reinvented his life and career.
In this episode you’ll learn:
• How I first saw the success of Apple Computers when I traveled to the Ukraine (shortly after the fall of the Soviet Union) on behalf of the company.
• Why too much coaching at key moments can actually hinder, rather than help, an athlete or entire team.
• How the playing conditions at the French Open create an environment where highly ranked tennis players often fall short and upsets abound.
• The Zone mindset that helped Steph Curry propel the Golden State Warriors to 2-0 in the NBA finals with a record setting nine, 3-pointers!
• Why it’s so difficult to throw a no hitter in baseball, and the mental tactics used by the few who have done it.
Also, I answer a question from the “Ask Jim” Mailbag about coaching a group of easily distracted, third grade Little Leaguers.
