Bradley Snyder Episode

Title: “Even in the Dark, There is Joy” - with Veteran and Gold Medalist Bradley Snyder

Description:

Veteran and Paralympic Gold Medalist Bradley Snyder shares his inspiring story with host and veteran NFL agent Craig Domann.

Bradley graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 2006 and spent 7 years in Iraq and Afghanistan as an Explosive Ordnance Disposal Officer. On September 7, 2011, his life took a pivot. Brad stepped on an IED and suffered an injury causing him to permanently lose his vision.

Instead of thinking “Why did this happen to me” Brad continued with life because he got the gift of life. Within a year he earned a spot on Team USA Paralympic Team and swam to his first of six gold medals, the first American male to do so in the Olympics or Paralympics.

When Brad isn’t earning medals he spends most of his time with his wife and 2-year-old daughter or working towards his Ph.D. in Public Policy. With that Ph.D. Brad hopes to become a professor of ethical leadership. Brad is also an athlete representative on the United States Olympic and Paralympic Committee’s Board of Directors and is the advisory board Vice-chair for the Navy Special Operations Foundation.

“There is no why, I just wake up and go”- Nick Hardwick, Former NFL Pro Bowler and Current NFL Coach

Wed, 06 Mar 2024 08:00:00 -0700

On this installment of the Pro Mindset® Podcast guest Nick Hardwick walks host and veteran NFL agent Craig Domann through his NFL journey.

Nick was a high school wrestler and never played a snap of football, but he fell in love with the sport during the Drew Brees glory days at Purdue University. Nick walked on at Purdue and found his home on the offensive line after a few position changes. He was then selected 67th overall in the NFL Draft for the San Diego Chargers. Nick was a cornerstone for that offensive line for more than a decade being a team captain and 4-time NFL Pro Bowler.

After Nick hung up the cleats, he became a certified Strength & Condition Specialist. At the tail-end of his career, Nick was close to 300 pounds, after he retired, he had an insane body transformation and reclaimed his life and health! Now he’s committed to helping others lose weight and reclaim their lives!

Listen to Craig and Nick discuss how to succeed in life and football. It all begins with preparation. Nick had a successful NFL career, and it all came from the work he put in every day. Nick talks about how sometimes you need to be blessed with talents, but if you don’t put in the work it won’t matter. Nick takes that mentality into everything he’s done in his post-NFL days. Whether it’s working with the Los Angeles Charges offensive lineman, or his two sons.

Pro Mindset: Decode your inner "Pro” - Take a backpack to your Super Bowl

Wed, 24 May 2023 05:00:00 -0600

The concept of decoding your inner pro and cultivating a pro mindset, as discussed on the episode of Pro Mindset hosted by Craig Domann, revolves around understanding where you currently stand, what factors have contributed to your current state, and identifying any obstacles that may be preventing you from reaching your desired goals. This three-step process involves tackling your thoughts, blocking out external distractions or "noise," and crafting your personal narrative or story.

One crucial aspect emphasized in the episode is the need to let go of any emotional baggage or negative experiences you may have accumulated throughout your life. By holding onto these burdens, they can become increasingly heavy and hinder your ability to succeed in the present moment. Therefore, it is essential to address and release these hindrances in order to free yourself to perform at your best.

The core idea behind developing a pro mindset is centered on performing optimally during significant moments in your life. While the NFL Super Bowl serves as an example of the biggest stage and audience in sports, every individual has their own version of a "Super Bowl" in their respective endeavors. The key question posed is whether you possess the mindset necessary to excel when your personal moment arrives. Building a pro mindset enables you to rise to the occasion, perform at your peak, and seize the opportunities presented during these critical junctures in your life.

Deyon Sizer, DT, Broncos, Modifies Mindset to Make Roster

Mon, 09 Aug 2021 01:30:13 -0600

Fighting for an opportunity to make the 53-man roster, Deyon Sizer, DT, Broncos, joins Pro Mindset Podcast host, Craig Domann. Currently entering his third Denver Broncos training camp, he knows the challenges and opportunities each athlete faces on the 90-man roster. Deyon is a Denver area product who attended Colorado State University – Pueblo, where he was a very prominent college football player at the DII level. In the past two seasons, Deyon spent time on the practice squad and last season he was on the active roster three-times. Deyon and Craig, talk about the Pro Mindset® that an athlete must have during NFL’s training camp.
Specifically, they discussed the merits of having a goal beyond making the team. As Domann points out, “Most NFL rookies only have the goal of making the team and this is what limits them. They want to get paid for playing the game that they played for fun their entire life. However, if all they aspire to do is to make the 53 and everyone else makes the 53, how did they set themselves apart from everyone else?” Domann shares with Deyon, the mindset of shooting for the stars in terms of setting his mind on becoming a starter this season. This also brings along with it, the responsibility of performing, working, competing, and knowing the playbook consistent with being a starter. It also means that Deyon needs to be a leader. One of the things that Craig has done over his three decades of representing players is teach them to act like a vet. One of the reasons why rookies don’t often make it is because they act like one. Typically, rookies give the coaches the impression they are not prepared and not ready for the big time. Rookies normally stick together and have conversations that center around, “Do you think you're going to make it?” Those are wasted conversations that don't help the player make the team.

Enjoy this podcast as you get an inside look at the mindset that it takes to make the 53-man roster. It’s not only a physical game, but a mindset game as well. Follow Deyon and root for him as he competes in the 2021 Broncos Training Camp.

Brock Domann, QB, Louisville: The Power of Perseverance!

Tue, 29 Jun 2021 00:14:35 -0600

Brock Domann, new QB signee at the University of Louisville joins his dad, Pro Mindset host Craig Domann. Brock most recently played JUCO football at Independence Juco a/k/a Last Chance U this spring and led his team to a 5-2 record and was recognized as the 1st team All-Conference and 3rd team All-American. Perseverance is the word that best describes Brock’s college football career as he has journeyed playing football from coast-to-coast with a winning record of 16-4 playing against 20 different opponents.

Brock shares stories about his journey and his excitement for joining the Louisville Cardinals football program. Brock provides insights into his learnings, challenges, and keys to success. The QB position carries a higher standard of conduct and Brock articulates his perspective about what it takes to be a great QB leader.

Brock talks about the importance of a QB’s decision-making both on- and off-the-field and the positive or negative impact it makes on the team. He also shares the importance of being a hard worker because teammates typically don’t follow a lazy leader. Brock reveals his greatest area of growth during his JUCO time was learning to surrender expectations and potential outcomes and instead focus on his goals and standards.

Brock discusses the importance of becoming a man, the head & heart connection, and his faith in God throughout the journey. Finally, Craig and Brock discuss his approach to this opportunity at the University of Louisville and his performance secret for playing QB in college, “Create a flow state of being instinctive instead of being a thinker in games. You can create that instinctive flow state with due diligence and preparation during game week.”

We look forward to watching Brock embrace and tackle this new opportunity and continuing to apply and grow his Pro Mindset®. #GoCards!

Dr. Greg Charlop improves the lives of retired athletes (pros and amateurs) with high-performance wellness solutions. His solutions include expert advice on diet, nutrition, sleep, supplements, and mental health.

Retired athletes know their bodies are no longer at their best. They no longer have a team of experts managing their diet and exercise routines. They notice that things are beginning to slip. Maybe they've gained some weight. Stamina isn't what it used to be. The mirror is no longer their friend.

He founded Retired Athlete Health and created the Seven-Week Wellness Program to fill the team void for retired athletes. His program is designed to help clients reclaim their youthful health and vigor. His team of experts teach athletes how to use technology, foods, supplements and exercise to create a customized plan to fit their lifestyle.

Dr. Greg is a focused wellness expert who isn’t Dr. Google or your primary doctor. Athletes want someone they can trust to ask health questions. “Is it okay to have this much sugar?” “Should I take vitamins?” “How much sleep do I need?” He gives concrete answers to show clients an achievable and evidence-based way to improve their health and performance.
He uses telemedicine visits to boost athlete health from the convenience and safety of their homes.

Dr. Greg shares with Pro Mindset host, Craig Domann, the signs and symptoms of depression, the importance of an athlete exploring and being aware of career options when they need to go to Plan B, and the two debate the value of visualization on an athlete’s performance. Domann suggests that athletes should be careful with having a Plan B since it many times leads the athlete to transforming Plan B into their new Plan A. Dr. Greg also discussed the “universal concept” that when an athlete knows it has been done or sees it done, then an athlete is more confident that he/she can do it too!

Former MLB Pitcher Bob Tewksbury: Imagined Walk into his MLB Dream

Thu, 18 Mar 2021 23:30:03 -0600

Former Major League All-Star Pitcher turned Mental Coach and Author, Bob Tewksbury, joins Pro Mindset Podcast host Craig Domann to discuss about self-talk and imagery. Tewksbury played 13 seasons in the MLB with six teams (Yankees, Cubs, Cardinals, Rangers, Padres and Twins) and as a pitcher won 110 games during his career. He was an All-Star and also third in the Cy Young voting in 1992.

After earning his Masters in Sports Psychology and Counseling from Boston University, Tewksbury has had stints working as a mental coach for the Boston Red Sox, San Francisco Giants and Chicago Cubs. Bob authored a book in 2018 titled: Ninety Percent Mental: All-Star pitcher turned mental skills coach reveals the hidden side of the game.

On this podcast, Tewksbury and Domann discuss two major topics in mental coaching, specifically, self-talk (“the little man”) and imagery (visualization & movies).

Tewksbury shares he began utilizing imagery in high school and recounts using imagery going into spring training for the 1986 season. Naturally he wanted to make the Yankees big league roster from the jump. He followed the practices learned in Norman Vincent Peale’s book: Power of Positive Thinking. Peale stated, “If you can see it and believe it, you can achieve it.” Tewksbury used such imagery before he went to spring training in 1986 and imagined himself walking into manager Lou Pinella’s office and having him tell him that he made the MLB roster.

Tewksbury created this image so powerful that he would literally cry every night before he pitched in spring training that year. He would go out on the beach with his Walkman, listen to music, and imagine himself pitching against the next day's team on the beach. It worked because he pitched 20 consecutive scoreless innings during spring training and didn't give up a run.

With a week left in camp, the clubhouse guy came over and tapped him on the shoulder and said, “Hey, Lou wants to see you.” Tewksbury describes walking across the big NY logo in the middle of the locker room and literally “walking into his dream.”

Former Steelers LB, Anthony Trucks: Fall in Love with the Day & not the Destination!

Wed, 10 Mar 2021 10:42:05 -0700

Anthony Trucks, former Oregon Ducks & Steelers linebacker, life coach, career coach, author and public speaker joins Pro Mindset host Craig Domann and they discuss Anthony’s favorite topic “identity shift” and other mindset topics.

Trucks shares with Domann several of his “Truckisms” including the title of today’s podcast “Fall in Love with the Day & Not the Destination.” Anthony suggests that if we experience joy in the day then we will also enjoy life. If we like the day, then we want to do it again. We need to focus on the journey not the destination. People who find enjoyment and love the daily grind are more likely to get to the destination than the people that focus on just the destination. Trucks shares a funny story about fishing with one of his sons and that his son thinks fishing is “catching” because he only wants to catch fish rather than just enjoy the experience of fishing regardless of the results.

Trucks shares his metaphor about how Peanut M&M’s describe our ego and identity. The peanut is our identity, and the outside chocolate layer is our ego. He also explains our identity is who we are when we are not thinking about who we are. Our ego protects our identity and shows up in our actions, especially when we are caught off-guard, surprised or challenged.

Domann and Trucks discuss the impact of 2020 COVID-19 on their families and their parenting. They talk about the benefits of struggle and challenges in relation to the growth and development of their kids.

Trucks has become a highly sought-after speaker because of his personality, charm and life story of overcoming adversity. Trucks was abandoned as a child and went through the foster care system. Our society has very low expectations for success for kids that go through the foster care system and Trucks was able to excel in football in high school, college and make it in the NFL. Additionally, he has a very wise perspective on life, success and personal growth that attracts everyone who has had to overcome adversity in their lives – that means everyone.

Thom McDaniels: Football is the Family Business

Tue, 02 Mar 2021 17:08:30 -0700

State of Ohio Hall-of-Famer Coach Thom McDaniels joins Pro Mindset and shares with host Craig Domann his philosophy on coaching football, developing young men and his family journey of raising two sons who are currently coaching in the NFL. McDaniels had a 26-year head coaching career that included head coaching stops at Warren G. Harding High School, Canton McKinley High School and Massillon Jackson High School. McDaniels was twice a finalist for NFL High School Coach of the Year in 2004 and 2010.

McDaniels is the father of New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels
and Texans assistant quarterbacks coach Ben McDaniels. McDaniels reminisces about two of his three sons, Josh and Ben, catching the football bug, being gym rats and always hanging around his high school teams, going to practices and running the controller when he was watching film at home. Josh and Ben also started as quarterbacks in high school playing for their father and winning state championships together.

In 1997, McDaniels was named national high school football coach of the year by USA Today while leading his Canton McKinley team to state and national titles. However, McDaniels has a rich coaching philosophy that goes much more meaningful than winning championships, but rather, emphasizes the growth, development and discipline of his players in football and long thereafter.

Coach McDaniels mentions the following as cornerstones of his coaching philosophy:
•Expect the most from the best – Coach the most talented players the hardest
•Never wanted to be scheme-rich and execution-poor
•Nothing about football is unimportant (everything matters)
•Some of us can’t win it for all of us (takes the entire team)
•Self-scouting and scrutiny is more important than scouting the opponent
•It doesn’t take any athleticism to line up in the right place
•Eyes in the right place can tell you a lot

Coach McDaniels also shares a few thoughts about winning:
•Can’t win a game by yourself
•Winning = cumulative result of a whole bunch of guys doing the right thing
•It’s amazing how many games you can win when you do the easy things well

Coach McDaniels talks about his son Josh when he was the head coach of the Denver Broncos, watching Josh coach Tom Brady in six Super Bowl victories, and attending practices in New England and getting to know the Patriot Way.

Sean Callahan, Nebraska Football Insider: Hits the Transfer Portal, Cashes B1G $ and all things Cornhuskers!

Mon, 22 Feb 2021 16:16:57 -0700

Sean Callahan of Husker Online joins Pro Mindset host Craig Domann to talk about everything Nebraska football. Callahan who is a prominent member of the media covering Nebraska football shares his perspective on the recent transfers and the best utilization of the transfer portal. He mentions that the transfer portal is here to stay, and college coaches should expect players to transfer each year and coaches need to allocate a few spots each recruiting cycle to transfers in addition to the normal high school and JUCO recruits.

Callahan also shares his belief that “Big 10 money” is the ultimate equalizer in the Big 10 and the main reason there are no pushovers in the Big 10 like there was in the Big 12. The Big 10 money has created parity as every school has the same resources to compete in the arms race (facilities race), as well as all Big 10 school have similar coach’s payroll expenditures. Most importantly, every Saturday, regardless if Nebraska is favored or not, the Cornhuskers have to be ready to play.

Callahan has an insider’s viewpoint about Luke McCaffrey’s entry into the transfer portal, as well as Adrian Martinez’s growth, leadership and prospects for 2021. Callahan and Domann also discuss the intersection of zealous fans, social media and student-athletes. In today’s world, fans can reach out and direct message (DM) players in a professional and sometimes unprofessional manner.

Callahan shares his prediction on the 2021 Nebraska Cornhuskers’ record.

Super Bowl LV -- Passing the Torch? Brady vs Mahomes

Fri, 05 Feb 2021 15:23:01 -0700

Pro Mindset Podcast host and veteran NFL Agent Craig Domann discusses the Super Bowl, the star QBs (Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes) and the “passing of the torch” from Brady to Mahomes as the GOAT. Craig highlights Brady’s accomplishments and calls them the “marathon milestones” that Mahomes is chasing.

The big question for many fans is “Can Mahomes beat Brady with his unparalleled post-season records and individual statistics and become the GOAT?” Although Mahomes is on a great pace at the end of his third year of starting to surpass Brady, Brady has been the best for 21 years! Brady is the reason so many fans have hated the New England Patriots for always winning.

Craig dives into Mahomes’ background, success and mindset, as well as, identifies the natural hurdles Mahomes will have to overcome to succeed over two decades like Brady.

Craig shares some of the traits that make Mahomes special:
•Transformation of the QB position due to his creativity, off-platform throws, movement in the pocket and various throwing sockets.
•No quit – no fear mentality and his ability to come back from behind, especially in the post-season and to win Super Bowl
•Big play capabilities and big play mentality
•Knack for doing whatever is required to make a play, improvising to move the chains, escape to buy time and make a play
•Great pocket awareness, incredible field vision and great poise in the pocket

Craig shares that Mahomes greatest component of Pro Mindset is his ability to put on his game face and make plays. He has no fear and tends to be successful in big moments. Craig also shares his insight on the possibility of Mahomes breaking Brady’s records. Craig agrees that Mahomes (provided he does not have injury issues) will continue to chase Brady’s individual statistical records and will likely surpass Brady in several categories. However, Brady’s post-season records (e.g., Super Bowl wins, Super Bowl Appearances, Play-off appearances, Post-season wins, etc.) are more difficult to predict. Brady did not do it by himself and Mahomes cannot either. The organization, the team, all three phases of the game (offense, defense and special teams) have to thrive, the locker room has to be right-minded. Continuing, the division opponents (Broncos, Chargers and Raiders) have to be mostly down for the next 15 years, the Chiefs leadership, coaches and front office have to maintain continuity and unity in their vision for the next 15 years. Obviously, Mahomes has to stay healthy, stay hungry and dodge the inevitable contract disputes with the Chiefs. Furthermore, can Mahomes win as much as he has lately after head coach Andy Reid retires? Can the Chiefs replace the dangerous skill weapons on offense when they get older (Kelce, Hill, etc.)?

Craig believes it is too early to predict on such issues so far in advance and many outside Mahomes’ control.

Enjoy Super Bowl LV!

Bill Nagy, former OL, Cowboys: Toughest Games Are The Ones You Play In Your Mind!

Tue, 26 Jan 2021 22:24:19 -0700

Former Cowboys NFL offensive lineman, Bill Nagy joins Pro Mindset host Craig Domann and shares his football journey from playing high school football in Ohio to college football for the Wisconsin Badgers to the Dallas Cowboys. Bill played offensive line and was drafted in the 7th round of the 2011 NFL Draft. Bill was drafted the year (2011) the NFL locked the players out until the first week of August. Consequently, Bill did not get to participate in any off-season program with the Cowboys his rookie season. The day after the lockout ended, he signed his rookie contract and reported to training camp with Cowboys. Bill started from the jump for the Cowboys (opening game starter) less than 35 days later. He was a quick study and his experiences with the Badgers prepared him for the NFL.
After the NFL, Bill went into college coaching and was on Coach Chryst’s staffs at Pittsburgh and then at Wisconsin before Bill decided to go into the private sector to have more time with his family. His wife, Jessamyn, played volleyball at Wisconsin, and they have three young children. Bill currently works as a risk management consultant at Hausmann-Johnson Insurance in Madison, WI.

Bill goes down memory lane as he shares his experiences and challenges with the Badgers who eventually had 14 of the 15 offensive linemen play in the NFL. He earned himself a starting position going into his third season only to have it taken away when he was in a moped accident (lady ran a red light) just two weeks before the start of Fall camp. He gives an account of watching his starting and playing opportunities that season fade away as his rehab took longer than expected. The title of this pod is in reference to the mental battles he had while dealing with the emotions of earning a starting spot only to lose it because of a freak accident off-the-field.

Bill talks about the most impressive player that he played with at any level, DeMarcus Ware, and Ware’s strong belief system. According to Bill, Ware’s excellent performances came not just from his outstanding athletic abilities but also from his unmatched confidence and belief that he was the best.

Bill and Craig discuss the business of college football and how the business side of the college game mirrors the NFL. College players today are far more knowledgeable and sophisticated in terms of their rights, opportunities, utilization of the transfer portal, branding and positioning themselves for the NFL.

Craig and Bill talk about old-timers Drew Brees and Tom Brady related to their passion and love for the game and their competitive fires. They agree that both Brady and Brees have the uncanny ability to have a rookie mindset and passion that defies their age.

Bill and Craig talk about many other topics including:
•Would Bill allow his son to play football and why,
•Who is one of coaches that he respects and learned the most from,
•What makes the University of Wisconsin and Badger football special, and
•Bill shares his perspective as a college football coach (Pittsburgh Panthers & Wisconsin Badgers).

Mike Ackerley, NFL Front Office: John Lynch, S, Deserves Hall-of-Fame Induction Despite Running a 4.73!

Mon, 11 Jan 2021 19:10:10 -0700

Long-time NFL front office personnel man Mike Ackerley joins Pro Mindset host Craig Domann and shares his perspective on what creates “draft value” and the difference between the front office mindset and the football coach mindset related to evaluating and drafting players. The NFL Draft is the #1 supply chain mechanism for NFL teams adding talent to their rosters. Mike also discusses his personal experience as the West Coast Scout for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers leading up to the 1993 NFL Draft when they drafted safety John Lynch out of Stanford University in the third round. He shares insights about the scouting and coaching opinions about Lynch, as well as, the impact of Lynch’s pedestrian 4.73 forty time at the NFL Combine. Lynch was widely considered a 1st round performer but was rated a 3rd rounder in terms of draft value due to his speed concerns. This month Lynch is again a finalist for the Pro Football Hall-of-Fame in Canton, Ohio. Lynch is looking to become the 5th player from the 1993 NFL Draft Class following Willie Roaf, Michael Strahan, Jerome Bettis and Will Shields.

Prior to his 20+ year NFL personnel career, Mike coached in college football for 20+ years as well. In fact, Mike was Craig’s position college at the University of Kansas. As a seasoned college coach, Mike believes he had an edge in scouting since (a) he was accustomed to scouting players as a college coach as a part of his recruiting, and (b) he could relate to and anticipate what his pro coaches were looking for in terms of evaluation factors.

Craig Domann, NFL Agent: Declare for the 2021 NFL Draft or Not?

Mon, 28 Dec 2020 16:26:58 -0700

Veteran NFL Agent and Pro Mindset host Craig Domann gives his perspective on whether a player should declare for the NFL Draft or go back to school. This year (2021 NFL Draft) is a unique year because not only are the typical three-year players (redshirt sophomores & true juniors), four-year players (RS- juniors & true seniors) but also the five-year players (RS-seniors) are eligible to enter the 2021 NFL Draft and are also eligible to return to college for the 2021 season. The NCAA gave a blanket do-over year for the 2020 season meaning it does not count their eligibility. Players that normally would have no choice but to pursue the NFL now have the opportunity to come back.

Players need to note that there's probably 50-100 guys that receive accolades that they will go in the first round of the NFL Draft. There’s probably only 15 – 20 consensus first rounders. However, every single year, there's only 32 guys that get their names called in the first round. Obviously, there are a bunch of athletes who feel lied to and betrayed…and who go in the later rounds, thus “bumping” other athletes who were told they would go in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th…and so on…rounds of the NFL Draft. All this said, Craig advises players to use his 3-step decision-making process to make their decision.

Craig acknowledges that this decision is probably one of the most important decisions they will make. Craig points out that the attraction and temptation is obviously to go pro. However, he suggests players utilize a decision-making process to make the best decision. In this podcast, Craig comments on and reviews the pros and cons, some of the critical decision factors, and shares a handful of the important NFL indicators, and shares his 3-step decision-making process. The key is the players should use good judgment.

Craig discusses the questions that a player should consider when he has this decision to make. There are five questions a player needs to ask himself in order to do the due diligence needed to make an informed decision. The authentic answers to these questions will dictate what he should do.

In the end, Craig advises players to consult their Maker, look into their heart and make the decision that is right for them.

Bob Wylie, veteran NFL Coach: Chemistry & Communication are More Important than Football X's & O's

Sun, 20 Dec 2020 23:16:33 -0700

Bob Wylie joins Pro Mindset host and veteran NFL Agent Craig Domann and talks about how chemistry and relationship between (a) the head coach and his assistant coaches, and (b) the coaches and the players determines the likely success of a team and season. Bob shares his belief that players don’t care about the schemes and game plan unless and until the players feel the coaches care about them as people. Bob was known to get birthday cakes for his players and celebrate their birthdays in the position meetings and he also sent their spouses and kids birthday and Christmas gifts.

Bob, a nearly 30-year NFL coach, has been part of many staffs and with several different head coaches. He shares his experience with the 13-3 Chicago Bears when Dick Jauron was the head coach. Coach Jauron encouraged his coaches to provide input, share ideas, and speak up when they had a dissenting opinion. Bob went further in encouraging his players to do the same. He mentions that he told his players that it is okay to disagree and have a different opinion, but it is not okay to be disagreeable.

Bob shares his perspective that communication is the separator between the winning programs and the losing programs. Bob believes that success is 80% communication and 20% technical (scheme, personnel, game plan and X’s & O’s). The philosophy and vision must be consistently communicated throughout the program. Communication in a football program naturally has two parts: the coach communicator that communicates the message and the player recipient who has the choice to accept the message. It’s a simple process but one that fails often in a locker room. Additionally, Bob shares that a coach’s communication is about teaching a player instead of telling him and, equally important, a player response is either a fixed or judgment mindset or a growth mindset. In a judgment mindset the player blames someone or something else for his mistake or error, whereas, a player with a growth mindset responds by searching for ways to get better, improve and correct his mistake.

Bob describes mindset as framing the interpretation of the millions of bits of information and stimulus a player takes in during a moment before a player or any moment in time. He says every coach expects his players to have a good mindset, but few coaches tell the players what a mindset is and/or describes what a correct mindset looks like. Bob’s a fan of a growth mindset!

Ryan Hannam: Free Agency Dilemma -- Follow Your Heart or Take The Money?

Wed, 09 Dec 2020 15:31:31 -0700

Ryan Hannam, former NFL TE, joins Pro Mindset host Craig Domann and shares his football journey from Northern Iowa to the Seattle Seahawks and the Dallas Cowboys. Ryan played tight end and was drafted in the 5th round of the 2002 NFL Draft. Ryan played in 58 NFL games during his career including Super Bowl XL (2006) with the Seahawks and caught two passes in the Super Bowl.

Ryan talks about the biggest adjustment going from 1-AA Northern Iowa to the NFL. His philosophy was simple: Put your head down and work hard until somebody tells you not to come to work. He mentions that NFL players are bigger and faster, but there is a place for players with borderline athletic ability if they are reliable, consistent and trustworthy.

Ryan shares his free agency experience after his contract expired in Seattle. He loved Seattle and planned to come back, however, the Dallas Cowboys made an offer he could not refuse and the Seahawks wished him the best. Ryan gives vivid details of the day he spent in Dallas and getting an excellent offer in free agency but was still expecting to return to Seattle. Finding out signing with Dallas was in his best interest was an eye opener for him. He calls it his “cold water in the face” moment.

Ryan is very transparent about his experiences, expectations and his adversities. He talks about the life lessons he has taken from his NFL career and has carried them forward in his business career and in coaching his two daughters. Ryan was inducted into the ISHSAA Hall of Fame in November, 2020. He is a Partner at Financial Designs, LLC in Cedar Falls, IA.

Craig Domann, NFL Agent: HOW TO WIN!

Tue, 01 Dec 2020 10:09:00 -0700

Pro Mindset host and veteran NFL Agent Craig Domann tackles the topic of winning vs losing. He shares his perspective on the differences between winners and losers, including discussing the following:

oWhat’s more important – 5-star culture or 5-star players?
oWhat separates winners from losers?
oIs it Culture? Talent? Coaching?
oIs it more about the players or the coaches?
oIs it player personnel management (recruiting or drafting)?

Naturally, some teams just know how to win, and others don’t. The Pittsburgh Steelers have a long history of winning over the past five decades. They are also the only undefeated team in the NFL going into week 12 this season. By contrast, there is only one winless team in the NFL this season – New York Jets. What’s the difference?

Alabama, Clemson, Oklahoma, North Dakota State are just winners in college football. They have been winners over many decades and through numerous coaches. Kansas, UTEP and others just haven’t figured it out even though they have changed coaches several times. Winning programs create new and innovative ways to win, whereas, losing programs are imaginative in finding ways to lose.

Craig shares his six (6) key elements you will find in a winning culture. These six elements are the secret sauce to turning a program around:

oConfidence & trust by and between coaches and players
oMental, physical & scouting preparation
oPractice game situations at game speed with intensity and intentionality
oVisualize and create a winning movie in your mind
oDiscipline and awareness
oAvoid loser miscues, moments and situations

The bottom line is that winning is a joint venture and interdependent relationship between the coaches and the players.

GO BE A WINNER - WIN THE MOMENT AND WIN THE DAY!

Paralympian Silver Medalist John Register Chose Courage Despite Fear (Re-Defining Moment) (Part 2)

Tue, 24 Nov 2020 21:45:28 -0700

John Register joins Pro Mindset host Craig Domann as he continues his story beginning with the defining decision of his life which was to amputate his leg or not. John shares that the decided to amputate his leg because the pain was too unbearable, and he believed amputation would alleviate the pain. He stated he did not realize that the pain would not go away and that he would endure the additional agony of phantom pain.

John’s decision to amputate his leg also was a decision to save his life and begin anew. John adapted to his new normal and went back to what he knew best which was competition. He competed in the 1996 Paralympics in swimming which was a key component of his physical therapy. He also earned a Silver Medal in the 2000 Paralympics in track and field.

John shares his belief that inspiration is the catalyst to motivation, motivation in turn causes actions, actions then lead us to transformational results. Those results inspire us, and they allow someone else watching to catch the vision.

He states his belief that we all are an inspiration to someone. Whatever part or stage of life that you're in right now, you are inspiring somebody. Somebody is watching your actions, your motivation, the words that you are saying and communicating and somebody is aligning with your actions because they have caught your vision and want to align with you and follow you to the degree that your actions and words are in congruence.

John loves COURAGE! He says that having courage doesn’t mean that fear is not there. Instead, courage is when you act despite fear being there. Courage is acting on the hope that life on the other side of fear is greater than the fear you may feel in the moment.

The unintended consequences of his leg amputation are the positive impacts he has made on other people’s lives. Just like Dolphins in the water who use sonar waves of echoes to locate and to know where they are in the water because the signals they send out bounce or come back to them. John resonates with this analogy as he has found the same thing with people he has shared his story with.

John also discusses the following topics:
•What does “New Normal” mean?
•His son taught him that it wasn't about the race but instead it was about the relationship
•Redefining Moments - There's no book that tells you how to jump

Defining Moment for Olympic Hopeful John Register: Amputate or Not?

Wed, 18 Nov 2020 12:15:04 -0700

Olympic hopeful and track star, John Register joins Pro Mindset® host Craig Domann as he shares his story beginning in high school athletics, running track at the Univ of Arkansas and his journey chasing his vision of competing in the hurdles in the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. After college, John joined the US Army’s world-class Olympic program that allowed athletes to train up to three years before the Olympic Games, so that he could get compensated to train as a member of the US Army.

The Gulf War interrupted his training plan as he was deployed overseas. When he returned to the US, he was too out-of-shape to compete in the 110-meter hurdles, so he experimented with the 400-meter hurdles. His time for his first race was only two seconds off the world’s best. At this moment he caught the vision of competing in the 1996 Olympics and standing on the medal podium in Atlanta.

On a very windy day in Hays, Kansas, he was competing in a track meet leading up to the Olympic Trials and during his race he was injured attempting to clear the 3rd hurdle. This injury was not only a career-ender but also lead to the defining moment in his life. The doctors assessed his condition and gave John a simple but unimaginable choice, and the most difficult decision in his life to that moment. The doctor’s options were (a) amputate his leg and he would have to use a prosthesis for the rest of his life or (b) keep his leg and he would be relegated to a wheelchair or walker the rest of his life. This was a “rest of his life” decision.

John also discusses the following topics:
•How your vision for your life is yours and don’t expect others to catch it
•How it’s impossible to measure elite athletes from different eras and therefore it is unfair and unrealistic to compare Usain Bolt and Jesse Owens, or Michael Jordan and Lebron James
•How he wants to have control of his life and not have other people’s decisions control his life
•His experience competing for the University of Arkansas powerhouse track team in their heyday
•What does “new normal” mean?

Now that you are thinking about John and his decision, take a minute to look at your life and what is holding you back, what is dead weight in your life, and/or who or what relationship is keeping you from growing, elevating, graduating into your best self?

John’s decision and the impact of his decision on his life and other people’s lives will be discussed in the next episode of Pro Mindset.

Laura Okmin, Fox Sports Reporter: What’s Your Honey?

Tue, 10 Nov 2020 14:29:45 -0700

Hall of Fame Sports Reporter Laura Okmin joins Pro Mindset host Craig Domann as they discuss meaningful and heavy issues. Laura talks about her pivot point in her life when she survived a turbulent plane ride and the changes she made afterwards. She vowed she would start creating a life that would make her care about life. She checked a lot of boxes in her career and then realized that boxes weren't making her happy. She pursued the answer to the question: how do I make my life bigger? That's when her journey really became magical.

What's your plan B? It took Laura about nine months after graduating from college before she got her first job. She heard, “What is your Plan B?” a lot as she watched all her friends have lives, get jobs, have money and relationships, get homes and have babies. Yet she was home with her parents sending out reel tapes. Everybody would ask every day, “What's your Plan B?” She would always just say her Plan B was to figure out how to get her Plan A to work. Craig added from his experience with NFL players, “If they have a Plan B it's only a matter of time before it becomes their Plan A.”

A reporter’s life is being a great storyteller. She loved telling stories and there's no better stories in the world to cover than sports. She shares the key to success is having confidence in yourself.

Laura covered Michael Jordan playing baseball and then followed him back to Chicago and covered him with the Bulls. She shares when Michael walked into a room, you knew it. By the way, she said the same thing about MJ when he walked out on the court. She recalls the feeling in the United Center shifted (she referred to this as the “room tilted”).

Laura, who has covered many Super Bowls, Olympics and major sporting events in her career, also reflected that they that besides MJ the only other times she has ever felt the room tilt was when Muhammad Ali was in the arena and when Bruce Springsteen was at a shopping mall in LA.

For nearly 30 years Laura Okmin has been covering the biggest names in sports on the biggest stages. What Laura is most known for, and most proud of, is the connections she has cultivated over two decades of building relationships … not sources. Trust has been the foundation of every interview she conducts, the content she creates – and now her company, GALvanize, leading the next generation of women sports broadcasters.

Always passionate about her job, GALVANIZE gives Laura a purpose: Training and mentoring young women entering the sports world on – and more importantly – OFF camera.

Laura is the third longest tenured sideline reporter in NFL history. You’ll find her covering the league for the NFL on FOX and Westwood One’s NFL national radio games. She’s covered more than 10 Super Bowls, hosted Olympic coverage from the London, Sochi and Pyeongchang games, and reported from multiple World Series, NBA and NHL championships.

What’s your honey? What has always made sense to Laura and it's still her mantra to this day is if you take a pot of honey and you just put it on the table outside, the bees are going to come. The honey doesn't have to call the bees to the honey. Honey doesn't have to sell itself to the bees. The honey doesn't have to make a big deal about itself. The honey just has to be honey. And the bees will come. Honey time is when you're just right where you're supposed to be and making sure that you're in a place where you can see and receive your blessings. You just need to be in your shoes right where you are.

Brock Domann: Starting QBs Have Temp Jobs & Must Constantly Prove Themselves

Tue, 27 Oct 2020 22:38:53 -0600

Brock Domann, a well-traveled college QB, and youngest son of Pro Mindset host Craig Domann, shares his experiences as a college QB, the best mindset for success, the must-have mindset for big games and his perspective about earning trust with his coaches.

Brock was a 3-time football state champion in high school, won the Southern California Championship in Juco football, and former D-1 QB who walked away from his scholarship to re-charge his college football career at San Bernardino Valley in Los Angeles.

Brock recalls his mindset when he played his biggest college game versus the #1 ranked team in the nation. Brock shows his swagger when he shared, “They (Riverside) deserved to lose because of the disrespect that they showed on the defensive side of the ball. They manned us up the entire game meaning they thought their guys were better than ours and they especially doubted me the opposing QB. I dotted ‘em up all the way down the field the whole game!” Brock mentions that typically if a defensive coordinator respects a QB, the DBs play back, play zone and make the QB take the check downs. If the DC doesn’t respect the QB, then you play man coverage and blitz and that's exactly what Riverside did. “Riverside had zero respect for my game. I saw that, took advantage of that, and made them pay.”

Brock also discusses the following topics:
•The biggest difference between playing college QB and high school QB
•The toughest lessons that he has learned in college
•His belief that coaches don’t look at resumes and past successes but rather only believe what they see with their own eyes
•Letting go of the perception of the way my life should go
•The best mindset, the best perspective, and the best approach to be a successful quarterback
•He also gives his perspective on leadership as a quarterback. Brock suggests that everyone (coaches and teammates) have both a conscious and subconscious belief about you as a player and leader.

Brock shares his love for football and how much football asks of you, especially as a QB . . . every second of every day needs to be dedicated to it. He adds, “I just love how you have to be all in or all out. I love it because I'm willing to be all in and I love knowing that a lot of people aren't and just having that edge of I'm willing to go through more suffering than you are.”

Brock finishes, “It's an addicting feeling when you're at rock bottom and you still have this confidence that you can still achieve everything you want to achieve because you just have that solid belief system in yourself. And no one can take that from you and that's addicting.”

Former MLB Brandon Averill: The Coconut Mindset is More Important than Talent

Tue, 20 Oct 2020 12:22:12 -0600

Brandon is a former professional baseball player in the Detroit Tigers and Seattle Mariners organizations. Brandon played baseball collegiately for UCLA. He grew up in Southern California, his dad played college baseball at the University of Redlands and his brother Erik played college baseball at Arizona State. Naturally, baseball was in his family’s blood. On their family vacations growing up they would visit different professional ballparks. He had the opportunity to go to UCLA, play baseball and he was a captain.
When host Craig Domann asked Brandon to share his valley or gutter experience, Brandon shared that in his second year of pro ball towards the end of spring training, he “didn’t want to play anymore” and went to his manager and told him so. He was hitting third in the lineup and was a starter but his heart was doubting his future. He actually went home that night and knew in his gut that it didn’t feel right and that he couldn’t end his career that way. The next day he went back and fortunately the manager let him return.

Brandon continues that he couldn’t imagine if he didn't play that year, how different his life would have turned out. One of the most powerful life lessons for him was he stuck it out, played it out and gave it one last shot.

Brandon shares with Pro Mindset host Craig Domann the fun moments of batting against his brother Erik twice when ASU & UCLA played each other. His brother hit him in his first at-bat and his brother threw a 0-0 count (first pitch) changeup on the second at-bat. The brotherly love and competitiveness is obvious when Brandon talks about his relationship with his younger brother.
Brandon Averill is Managing Partner of Athlete Wealth Management, aka AWM Capital. Brandon is a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ (CFP®) professional and holds the Certificate in Investment Performance Measurement (CIPM®) from the Chartered Financial Analyst Institute (CFA).
Brandon and his younger brother, Erik, had a vision and a passion for providing financial advice to professional athletes. While most would consider the prospect of working with professional athletes as an exciting clientele, it was their experience as former professional athletes and their personal exposure to bad financial advice that fueled their desire to start AWM. Check-them-out at www.athletewealth.com or www.awmcap.com .
Brandon resides in Glendale, CA with his wife Anne who is a Chartered Financial Analyst and two beautiful children, Luke Joshua & Charlotte Grace. Brandon is passionate about wine, cycling and loves being behind the camera in his free time.

Erik Averill, Former MLB Player: Money Magnifies Mindset

Mon, 28 Sep 2020 23:56:36 -0600

Erik Averill is a former professional baseball player with the Detroit Tigers and Seattle Mariners organizations. Erik played collegiately for Arizona State. During his career as an ASU Sun Devil, Erik earned honors as 2003 Freshman All-American Honors, 2004 & 2005 All Pacific-Ten, and Pitcher of the Year for the 2005 College World Series Team. Erik Averill is the co-founder of AWM and he is a Certified Financial Planner™ (CFP®) and a Certified Private Wealth Advisor (CPWA®). He is the co-author of PAID: How To Maximize Your Signing Bonus, Simplify The Money Game and Secure Your Future and is the host of Athlete CEO podcast.
Erik shares with Pro Mindset host Craig Domann the typical challenges and dysfunctions families and athletes face when money is involved. He shares there is potential dysfunction in the family circle when an athlete outpaces his parents and siblings in the money world and when they put the athlete up on a pedestal. He recommends that parents keep parenting their athlete child in order to maintain normalcy and harmony in the family circle.

Erik also talks about how money is a magnifier as it tends to increase the natural disposition of the athlete. Generous athletes who gain riches tend to continue to give and give more, whereas, unhappy athletes tend to become more unhappy as they get more money.

Erik talks about his mountain peak experience as an athlete as well as hitting rock bottom. In his valley experience he was let go by the Detroit Tigers farm director and he shares his shock, emotion, identity crisis and recovery from such.

Erick applies his experience as an athlete to assisting athletes manage their money, develop a career plan and relationships. Erik is an excellent communicator and teacher and utilizes those skills to impact his clients’ understanding of the business of professional sports.
Erik had a vision and a passion for providing financial advice to professional athletes. While most would consider the prospect of working with professional athletes as an exciting clientele, it was his experience as a former professional athlete and personal exposure to bad financial advice that fueled his desire to start AWM.

Zach Miller, former TE, Seahawks: My Dream as a Kid ... Super Bowl XLVIII Champion!

Tue, 22 Sep 2020 08:50:56 -0600

Zach Miller, a TE, was the 38th pick in the 2007 NFL Draft out of Arizona State by the Oakland Raiders. Zach played for the Raiders for four seasons and then for the Seattle Seahawks for four seasons during which he won the XLVIII Super Bowl with the Seahawks.

Zach shares with NFL Agent and Pro Mindset host Craig Domann his dedication to be a professional and focus his energy on being the best tight end that he could be. Whether that was in the weight room or in the film room, making plays, or doing whatever was asked of him as a team player, Zach shares he would do everything over again, even playing through injury. He tore both his plantar fascia in an NFC divisional game in 2012 and got injected so he could play and went on to have approximately 140 receiving yards in the game.

In reflecting on his Super Bowl season with the Seahawks, Zach shares that his head coach Pete Carroll, one of the best coaches he ever played for, talked about winning the Super Bowl constantly. Coach Carroll emphasized “never giving up on a play and never giving up on a moment because any one play can completely change the game.” That's how you build a championship and compete for multiple championships.

Zach gives his perspective on the difference between the NFL and college: “While the speed is different, the hits are different, the athletic ability is different, it's every week you're going against someone that's probably a Pro Bowler or a really good player. There is no offweek like there is in college. Some guys can just dominate with athletic ability in college but that is not the case in the NFL. You win some but you also lose a lot of battles in the NFL. You have to be good mentally (short-term memory has to be incredibly short) as you have to remember almost nothing of the play before but just refocus on whatever job you have to get done on the next play.”

Zach is a financial advisor for AWM Capital, Inc. To learn more or contact him, visit: www.awmcap.com.

Rebecca and Craig also talk about the following topics:
•How to build confidence?
•How to overcome fear and the fear of failure?
•How to keep your sport from becoming a job?

Brian Folkerts: NFL Cave Man Center’s Mindset was “One Snap Erase”

Tue, 28 Jul 2020 00:05:17 -0600

Former NFL center, Brian Folkerts shares with Pro Mindset host Craig Domann his nickname “Cave Man” and how he developed an identity in the Carolina Panthers’ locker room with his nickname and his play. He became one of the most popular players on the team embracing his identity and nickname given to him by teammate Jordan Gross.

Brian discusses his playing mindset to stay calm and focused when you are hyped up and amped up for a game, as well as, overcoming mistakes and bad plays. Brian’s mindset was “One Snap Erase” meaning move on to the next play regardless of whether it was a good play or not.

Brian talks about his favorite memories of playing in the NFL were interactions with his teammates in the locker room. One of his favorite teammates was WR Steve Smith who had the biggest mouth and ego but backed it up with his play on the field. Smith was known for his receiving skills but also for his toughness and run blocking skills. Smith fans wore t-shirts with slogan “Ice Up Son!” because he de-cleated opponents on crack blocks. “Ice Up Son” means find a bag of ice to put on your boo-boo from Smith’s blocks.

Brian is an entrepreneur in real estate and recommends people avoid paralysis by analysis and just review market & property details and make the jump. Small ball is a good way to get started. Learn on the go and learn by experience instead of learning from a real estate book.

Brian is hoping for another NFL opportunity but if that doesn’t manifest, then he wants to become a college football coach.

Former NFL Players Greg Scruggs & Michael Lehan Discuss BLM & Racial Discrimination Within & Outside of NFL

Wed, 01 Jul 2020 22:00:54 -0600

This episode of Pro Mindset Podcast, hosted by Craig Domann, a NFLPA licensed football agent, is focused on the Black Lives Matter movement, which challenges systemic racism and white supremacy. This podcast features guests Michael Lehan (former 5th rounder who played for the Browns, Dolphins & Saints) and current assistant superintendent of 5th largest school district in the state of Minnesota and Greg Scruggs (former 7th rounder who played for the Seahawks, Bears & Patriots) and current defensive line coach for the University of Cincinnati.

This episode of Pro Mindset addresses some very challenging, but important topics regarding the generational and systemic discrimination that naturally results in trauma for the black community.

Domann starts off the podcast by asking Michael and Greg about their experiences as a young black man where they were mistreated by the police force or people of authority. Michael shares several experiences where he was discriminated against and made to feel like “the other” and felt like people treated him to be “less than.” Greg expresses how racism is undeniably real, proven by many experiences that he has had over his lifetime.

Domann switches the conversation over to the NFL realm, asking both players if they had ever experienced discrimination or racism on their teams. Lehan expresses how the business structure of the NFL creates rankings of players, making it a dehumanizing culture.

Both Michael and Greg talk about the hardships of intergenerational racial trauma, which is integrated into the NFL player experience. Bringing up current events and the death of Rayshard Brooks, the players share how racial trauma is deeply rooted in black communities.

This podcast, addressing topics such as the mental, psychological influences of racial violence in life and in the NFL, the athletes express their frustration that these problems are passed down through generations, continuing a toxic pattern of making black communities feel “less than.”

But they couldn't measure my heart, my faith and my perseverance."

The “GOAT” Tom Brady Crushes Pro Mindset!

Tue, 02 Jun 2020 22:32:46 -0600

While watching “THE MATCH” golf event a couple weeks ago with Super Stars Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady (four of the best all-time performers in professional sports on the planet), Craig had the idea of exploring and discussing the elements of a Pro Mindset related to Tom Brady’s career in today’s episode and for Peyton Manning in a future episode.
When you look at Tom Brady and his successes and the hurdles that he has overcome, you see from the beginning of his NFL career in 2001, being drafted as the 199th pick in the sixth round, he had firmly planted a huge chip on his shoulder. Tom has used this chip and the Brady6, the QBs that were drafted ahead of him to motivate him and to fuel his fire to unprecedented success as arguably the “GOAT” of all NFL QBs in the history of the NFL.
Tom’s Wikipedia is 47 pages long! Tom’s belief, passion, motivation, training, lifestyle, winning habits, and situational performance are all Pro Mindset components that Tom has off-the-charts. Pro Mindset Podcast host Craig Domann gives examples of Tom Brady's belief in himself, his passion and motivation for football, his extensive diet and training, especially being a middle-aged man playing a young man's sport, and his lifestyle that is conducive to perseverance and endurance and longevity.
Tom’s NFL records, his unmatched success in the playoffs and Super Bowls, getting recognized as one of the ten best QBs in the 100-year history of the game of pro football, and the only QB to be named as QB of the decade for two consecutive decades are only a tip of the iceberg of his accomplishments. He has a PRO MINDSET and Craig shares his insights on such.

Special Forces Candidate Tommy Lazzaro’s College Football Motto was “Do It For the Bros”

Mon, 18 May 2020 21:56:14 -0600

Tommy Lazzaro (former Central Michigan QB) shares with Pro Mindset host Craig Domann his experiences as a college QB including his highs and lows. Craig was Tommy’s QB Coach in high school when Tommy was two-time state champion. Tommy graduated from Central Michigan in December (2019) and completed his final football season by scoring 9 TDs. Moving forward, Tommy was recently accepted into the Special Forces Training and Tommy shares his next goal is to kill the training and become a leader in the US Army Special Forces.

Tommy enjoyed lots of success in high school at Pine Creek High School (Colorado Springs) but had to go the junior college route as he went to Dodge City Community College. Tommy shares the challenges of adapting to a small town and a college about the same size as his high school. The silver lining for Tommy about his time at Dodge City is he learned to connect with so many players from different backgrounds from all over the USA. Tommy played at Dodge City Conquistadors for one season and lead his team to a conference championship before moving on to the Central Michigan Chippewas.

During his first season at Central Michigan, Tommy played behind former Dallas Cowboys QB and current New York Giants QB Cooper Rush. Before the NCAA changed the redshirt rule to allow players to play a max of 4 games and still retain their redshirt, Tommy played less than a handful of plays in one game his first season and lost a year of eligibility. Tommy again developed some very strong friendships with his teammates at CMU. Although Tommy scored 9 TDs this past season and lead the offense in the wildcat formation, Tommy was not the fulltime starter. He had different coaching staffs and several QBs he had to compete with during his time at Central.

Tommy thought about quitting football more than a few times during his college career but he did not want to let his teammates down so he stuck it out. Tommy was rewarded by his teammates at his senior football banquet when he was selected the most inspirational player and received the Kurt Dobronski Award. Tommy did it for his teams and he plans to attack the US Army Special Forces with the same mindset which is do it for the man on your right and on your left.

Kevin Robinson shares with Pro Mindset host Craig Domann his experience as a 20-year veteran NFL player agent. Kevin mentors his NFL clients to exert their “will” on their opponents. He believes, as I do as well, that the sport of football is different from other sports because it is a game of WILLPOWER due to the physicality of the game.

Kevin offers his opinion that 90% of a player’s evaluation for the NFL Draft is his game film - this is consistent with what most NFL scouts/coaches will tell you as well. Kevin talks about game film serving as a video resume for college players as they go through the pre-draft evaluation process.

Kevin coaches his clients to control the controllables, master position techniques, develop great relationships with their coaches, take care of school, and treat people around the football program (trainers, equipment managers, etc.) as NFL scouts will do their research about every player’s off-the-field character.

Kevin is a very successful NFL agent who has a strong and recognizable client list. Kevin is excellent at connecting and relating to his players and negotiating top contracts.

Frisman Jackson, former NFL WR & Paneers WR Coach: NFL takes “Overtime” Mindset not 9 to 5!

Thu, 23 Apr 2020 19:08:16 -0600

Frisman Jackson shares with Pro Mindset host Craig Domann his perspective as a former NFL wide receiver and current WR coach for the Carolina Panthers. As the title states, Frisman describes the biggest difference between playing in the NFL compared to college is an “Overtime” mindset. Players that build and sustain a NFL career are the ones that do the extra work all the time. Pros don’t punch the clock, they don’t have scholarships, and they are grown men fighting for their careers and their families.

Frisman also talks about the key to success for making a roster is keeping the main thing the main thing” instead of counting reps, thinking about roster spots, analyzing whether the coach likes you or letting your mind wander about things other than getting better every day and doing your job.

Frisman, a former college QB, coaches and teaches his receivers to learn the offense from the QB’s viewpoint. He tells his players that they must be involved in their own success meaning he as a coach cannot want it more for them than they want it themselves. Fris tells them they have to invest in themselves.

Frisman loves redheaded lefty quarterbacks – must listen to find out why!

Sports Marketing pioneer Mary McKay, President, Access Brand Management, shares with Pro Mindset host Craig Domann her entry into sports marketing with Walter Payton, her full immersion in representing Emmitt Smith, Tony Romo, Chad Hennings and several other Dallas Cowboys. Mary transitioned from working for Sears and looking for a spokesperson (Walter Payton) to working with famous motivational speaker Zig Zigler to working full-time with athletes helping them find the best fit for their passions off-the-field.

Mary shares her perspective on what the most successful athletes have in common – they make family a priority and they know who they are. On the other side of the spectrum, the players whose careers are headed to an end usually are the ones who believe their own PR and the hype.

Mary is very fond of her relationship with Sweetness Walter Payton and she says what make him special was he put others first and it’s no accident that the NFL Man of the Year Award is named after Walter.

She tells stories about Emmitt Smith and his zeal for learning about real estate and electronics and so she connected him with companies in those industries. She got Tony Romo his first marketing opportunity when he was still on the bench with the Cowboys. Lastly, she claims Sears paid Walter Payton more money one season than the Chicago Bears did as he exemplified the slogan “satisfaction guaranteed or your money back”.

Finally, Mary talks about Zig Zigler’s key to success was his ability to talk “to” his audiences rather than talk “at” them and this meant he spoke at a 7th grade level, as well as, he touched people’s souls.

Blake played college football with current veteran NFL players Prince Amukamara and Ndamukong Suh, as well as, his current business partner Adi Kunalic. Blake shares his key carryovers from college football to the business world:

• Trust
• Discipline
• Compete
• Belief & Passion
• Work Ethic

Blake shares that sports has a tendency to draw people together, not only the players who practice, play and have fun together but also for fans who attend games or watch games together. There is a gravitational pull with and among athletes and fans.

Blake and his company are the leaders in the athlete social media marketing space. He tells us that consumers have a 20 times greater appetite (engagement rate) for player social media marketing than team/organization social media marketing. Even though teams average 30 posts on social media per day and players only average 6 posts on social media per day, companies/brands utilizing players in social media marketing is far more effective.

Opendorse, an athlete social media marketing company, matches companies and brands with athletes. Opendorse is built on the foundation that athletes have significantly more engagement value than companies because people on social media will stop their strolling way more often for faces than logos.

Opendorse is headquartered in Lincoln, NE. Blake and his best friend, college roommate and Nebraska teammate, Adi Kunalic, co-founded Opendorse in 2013.
