Belief is everything....and leads to every result you accomplish (or DON'T accomplish).   The problem is that most of us approach belief passively, and with no plan. We need to build belief with same level of intensity, intention and consistency as we do with our physical body.   This is why I created Mental Reps. It is one of the most powerful, effective and fun ways to build belief, increase confidence and reach your goals with more speed and efficiency.   This is the 3rd mixtape installment of Mental Reps, and it will have you floating and feeling like you can take over the world.   Use this daily, before workouts, in the morning while you get ready, or before games.   This is explicit, so those of you with sensitive ears, you would be wise to skip this episode.   If you haven't already, subscribe to the Get Ya Mind Right Motivation Podcast, home of the Mental Reps episodes.   ENJOY.   (1:27) All By Myself (7:02) I Can Do It Pt. 2 (14:52) I Got Purpose (17:09) I Feel Pain (28:14) Keep Ya Head Up (38:00) Ev

Being a "victim" doesn't only refer to a refugee or homeless person....some of you so-called "competitors" are about as helpless, soft, and weak as new-born babies.   In this episode, I show you the evidence of victimhood, with a heartfelt call to action to quit it. It's time to burn out all of the weakness, to recreate yourself into a dominant force in you career and life.

I know you're like me.... each day, you're doing something to reach towards your goals and make your reality even better. To improve, grow, and accomplish more...   Some days are harder than others.

Diddy does a lot to keep you upbeat and alert. Check it out... https://youtu.be/ODV_86VLm0E #UpOnGame

So you've decided to hang up the cleats, the spikes... you're done with your sport... but for some reason you feel depressed. You can't watch your sport, and you find yourself obsessing over all the mistakes you've made, and how it could have been so different.   I can relate 100%.

A lot of you have been complaining of little to no playing time, lack of revenue, and how no one knows abiout you.

On the road to what you ultimately desire, you will be faced with choices... Do I invest, or do I wait? Do I make a move, or do I sit still and continue to grind?   It is confusing, and sometimes in our quest to be "wise" and "intelligent', we end up hoarding resources, only to further reinforce the results we don't want, and it prevents us from growing.   Nipsey Hussle had a different approach. He didn't spend recklessly, without a plan... and he also didn't sit on his money, waiting for "the promised land". He had a "ball later, and ball now" mentality.   In this episode, I break down his philosophy, and show you how this is relevant to you and your process. #BARS
