Great Quotes for Coaches Podcast

We come to the final week of our discussions of the book Change Your World  by John Maxwell and Rob Hoskins. We have made our way through eight episodes covering the first eight chapters, and today we cover the final chapter of the book, "It's Your Turn to Change Your World." In Chapter 9, Maxwell & Hoskins review the first eight chapters, showing us how they were broken up into four phases, each containing two chapters. Then, they point to the future, offering us the chance to figure out what our best options are for beginning to make some kind of transformational change in our world. They talk about us lighting out on our own to do that or joining them in their endeavors to do that. Either way, we're bound to find ourselves in an outstanding journey toward changing our world and helping others (and ourselves) along the way.Come back next week as I finish up this series by talking about another book I just finished that also had a lot of powerful ideas and inspiration to take steps to change our world. I also plan on telling you all about my exciting new mission and project that I have been thinking about doing for the last eight months or so and that the book, Change Your World, inspired me to get going and start doing it. I will also be asking you to consider joining me and helping me out on this mission that I believe will impact thousands of kids around the country. I can't wait to share it with you!For more information to help you on your road to becoming your best, check us out at SlamDunkSuccess.com or email me at scott@slamdunksuccess.com.As always, our background music is "Dance in the Sun" by Krisztian Vass.

A couple of months ago we started a series based on a theme from a book I finished reading a couple of weeks before that. That book was showing me signs that were telling me it was time to act on something that I was considering doing. The title of the book is Change Your World by John Maxwell and Rob Hoskins.I originally figured that I would do the first week's episode on the entire book and then move on to a new theme. However, I started doing what Maxwell has suggested in other books  - taking notes and highlighting important passages and quotes in books. I have so many great quotes that I highlighted while I was reading it that I started transferring to a document, but I realized there is no way I can do the ideas and quotes in the book justice in one episode. So this is going to be a 10-part series on quotes in the book - one for each chapter and then a final episode to wrap it up.This week we move to Chapter 8 - "Let's Keep Talking." A couple of weeks ago, they talked about Transformation Tables in chapter 6. This week they talk about Transformation Conversations in this chapter. So many good quotes in here and so many good ideas on the power of communicating well when it comes to changing your world.For more information to help you on your road to becoming your best, check us out at SlamDunkSuccess.com or email me at scott@slamdunksuccess.com.As always, our background music is "Dance in the Sun" by Krisztian Vass.

Notice they have switched the fairly famous Peter Drucker quote around for the title of the chapter. You'll hear why in the episode. Some really good ideas in here about the power of making sure you track and measure the transformational concepts you are trying to achieve.For more information to help you on your road to becoming your best, check us out at SlamDunkSuccess.com or email me at scott@slamdunksuccess.com.As always, our background music is "Dance in the Sun" by Krisztian Vass.

My apologies to those of you who tried listening to today's show and got last week's episode. The problem has been fixed, and the right episode is now playing!Last week we started a series that will be based on a theme from a book I finished reading two weeks ago. That book was showing me signs that were telling me it was time to act on something that I was considering doing. The title of the book is Change Your World. It is by John Maxwell, the man who I did a 6-month series of quotes by last year, along with Rob Hoskins, the founder and director of OneHope.I originally figured that I would do last week's episode on the entire book and then move on to a new theme this week. However, I started doing what Maxwell has suggested in other books  - taking notes and highlighting important passages and quotes in books. I have so many great quotes that I highlighted while I was reading it that I started transferring to a document that I realized there is no way I can do the ideas and quotes in the book justice in one episode. So this is going to be a 10-part series on quotes in the book - one for each chapter and then a final episode to wrap it up. Last week, our first episode was "We Can't Wait for Change."This week we move to Chapter 2 - "Be a Catalyst for Change." This one is a more individual-focused episode because so many of the quotes speak directly to you, telling you that you need to be the one to create the change you seek. I am so excited to be doing this series, and I know you're going to love it.  This book has the potential to be the most life-changing book you will read. I know it is starting to work that way on me. I HIGHLY recommend you get the book, Change Your World, by John Maxwell & Rob Hoskins.

I told you last week in the "Reading the Signs" episode that this week we would move to a theme based on a book I was reading that was showing me signs that were telling me it was time to act on something that I was considering doing. I just finished the book this morning, and it is going to change my world. It better because the title of the book is Change Your World. It is by non other than John Maxwell, the man who I did a 6-month series of quotes by last year, along with Rob Hoskins, the founder and director of OneHope.I figured last week that I would do today's episode on the book and then move on to a new theme next week. However, I started doing what Maxwell has suggested in other books  - take notes and highlight important passages and quotes in books. I have so many great quotes that I highlighted while I was reading it that I am now transferring to a document that I realized there is no way I can do the ideas and quotes in the book justice in one episode. So I am going to do a 10-part series on quotes in the book - one for each chapter and then a final episode to wrap it up. Our first episode is "We Can't Wait for Change."I am so excited to do this, and I know you're going to love it.  This book has the potential to be the most life-changing book you will read.

Our theme this week is "Reading the Signs." Do you ever have things happen to you that make you pause and ask, "Wait a minute. Is this a sign that I'm receiving that I'm supposed to pay attention to and then act on?"That is exactly what this episode is about.I had this happen to me last week, and I knew that I A) had to do something about it, and B) had to make it our theme of the week! In fact, next week's episode and possibly the week after that will deal with the sign(s) that I received and where they are leading me.I have 3 quotes that I discuss in today's episode that deal with the concept of signs and reading them.For more information to help you on your road to becoming your best, check us out at SlamDunkSuccess.com or email me at scott@slamdunksuccess.com.As always, our background music is "Dance in the Sun" by Krisztian Vass.

Today we start a new theme of the week. I'm not going to say the theme because I want the question in the title of this episode spark your curiosity a bit and make you listen to the show. I know it's a little longer than usual, but that's because the ingredient that I am discussing is so critical to your success that if you don't have it, you will struggle to become the best that you can be and struggle to help your teams become the best that they can be.I discuss 10 different quotes in here. I saved the best one for last, so make sure you listen all the way through to the end. I know you'll be glad you did.If you want to connect with me at the emails I mention in the episode, they are scott@slamdunksuccess.com and scott@proactivecoaching.info.

Today we move to a new theme of the week - Living with Honor. I chose this theme because this week I will be delivering a speech at the National Honor Society Induction Ceremony at the high school in my hometown. So I thought since the concept of Honor is on my mind and my focus for these few days, I should make it be the theme of the week. I have two quotes for you today, plus a couple of definitions when it comes to honor. Finally, you will also hear the 4 Pillars of the National Honor Society. For more information to help you on your road to becoming your best, check us out at SlamDunkSuccess.com or email me at scott@slamdunksuccess.com.As always, our background music is "Dance in the Sun" by Krisztian Vass.

Today we move forward from last week's episode on Perspective and move into Creating Your Future Self. This is a long episode, but it might be the most important one I have done. There is a lot of great information for you personally, but also for you to pass on to your kids. I HIGHLY recommend you listen all the way through because there are some really important points and quotes in the last 7 to 10 minutes of it.For more information to help you on your road to becoming your best, check us out at SlamDunkSuccess.com or email me at scott@slamdunksuccess.com.As always, our background music is "Dance in the Sun" by Krisztian Vass.

**Updated!! Sorry, but once again, I had technical difficulties getting this week's episode uploaded. For some reason, last week's episode showed up instead of this week's. However, I think I've got it done right now.We continue our Themes of the Week this week with an episode on "Perspective." This is a long episode with many quotes and a long intro to the quotes due to a short discussion on Black History Month and on seeing the light at the end of the tunnel of winter. Don't worry, it will all make sense as to how it all fits into the concept of Perspective when you hear it!For more information to help you on your road to becoming your best, check us out at SlamDunkSuccess.com or email me at scott@slamdunksuccess.com.As always, our background music is "Dance in the Sun" by Krisztian Vass.

We continue our Themes of the Week concept this week. This week we move into the topic of Passion. (I should have done this topic last week with Valentine's Day being on Tuesday!) I talk about multiple quotes in the episode about the importance of doing things with passion.I got the quotes from my gift book for senior athletes called, Senior Salute. I wrote Senior Salute, as well as my other gift book for seniors, Inspiration for the Graduate, for coaches to give to their senior athletes on their end-of-season banquets/awards nights and at their seniors' graduations. I have a special running on both books right now.

In this week's episode, I continue a new concept I am doing this year - Themes of the Week. Each week, I will cover a specific theme in the three different media in which I communicate to you. On Mondays, I will talk here on the podcast about a quote or quotes dealing with that theme. On Wednesdays, I will do a video on that theme over on my SlamDunk Success YouTube Channel. And on Fridays, I will have a short blog post on that theme on my SlamDunk Success site.Two weeks ago, the theme was Failure, and more specifically, Public Failure. Last week I took that concept a step further and talked about Responding to Failure. Some might say this week's episode carries on that concept, but I would disagree. This week I am talking about something that happens to all of us at some point in time, and for many of us, that point in time is right now—late-January or early-February.  The "Dog Days of Winter" can have a powerful, negative effect on us. They can also send us into a rut that it feels like we won't ever get out of.  This can feel especially true for winter sport coaches and athletes.I have six quotes that I discuss in today's episode that discuss this concept and offer some ideas on getting out of the inevitable ruts we will all find ourselves in at one time or another.For more information to help you on your road to becoming your best, check us out at SlamDunkSuccess.com or email me at scott@slamdunksuccess.com.As always, our background music is "Dance in the Sun" by Krisztian Vass.

Today's episode is our final episode in our series devoted to quotes and ideas by leadership and productivity guru John Maxwell. We have been doing this series since June 13th, and we have had a total of 29 episodes in the series (including this one).Today, we wrap up the series by first touching on some of the concepts we covered in the first 28 episodes. Then, as a way to transition to the upcoming new year, I discuss five quotes by Maxwell that deal with goals and goal-setting. This is one of my favorite weeks of the year because it is when I figure out my goals for the next year and develop a plan for how I will work to achieve them. These quotes fit in perfectly with that concept.I hope you have a fun-filled and safe New Year's Eve and New Year's Day!For more information to help you on your road to becoming your best, check us out at SlamDunkSuccess.com or email me at scott@slamdunksuccess.com.As always, our background music is "Dance in the Sun" by Krisztian Vass.
