There’s a seat at every table.

But most people never take it - they wait to be invited.

You don’t need permission.
You need presence.
Sit down and prove why you belong.

Whether I'm drinking coffee or not...

Starting your day with the smell of fresh-brewed coffee is humbling and motivating.

It's a trigger for the mind that "This new day starts now."

[Heather | @TheOther99Athletes Youth Sports Coach @Talk_Mindset]

We focus youth to master the fundamentals of their swing

But forget to teach to master the control of their body

Control your body -> Master your swing

@StephenCaggiano @AndrewCKnight I don't have a few of these books 👀

Adding to my list.

[Heather | @TheOther99Athletes Youth Sports Coach @Talk_Mindset]

2025 – I'm on a mission to restore my health.

I'm creating a personal health book that reflects what matters most to me and includes a grocery list.

Having a simple, go-to read is important - a reminder of why I choose to eat certain things.

[Heather | @TheOther99Athletes Youth Sports Coach @Talk_Mindset]

Start with 1-2 small habits.

Even if you fail at them, keep working on them until you succeed.

However, don't add more habits until you've succeeded with the first 1-2.

2 habits I'm working on:
1 - eating fruits/vegetables
2 - drinking fruits/vegetables

If I'm hungry - I eat fruit.
If I want something warm, I eat vegetables (because I like my vegetables cooked with spices).

Tomorrow, I'm unboxing the juicer.

Coaches, remember this:

You're not just teaching them how to grow individually.

You're showing them how to help others grow.

You are the foundation for how they’ll build their teams professionally in the future.

[Heather | @TheOther99Athletes Youth Sports Coach @Talk_Mindset]

Sometimes, while getting gas, I realize that everyone around me won't be here one day.

No matter what we do or drive, it all feels insignificant in the grand scheme.

So, I remind myself to:
1. Be kind.
2. Greet someone and wish them a great day.

You never know who needs to feel seen.

[Danielle Sprouls @The_WTF_Lady]

Talent and hard work matter—but social capital matters more.

The right connections can open doors skills alone never will.

Build it. Share it. Leverage it.

As a baseball coach, I always tell my players that if they can show me in practice that I can count on them in a game, I'll give them the opportunity.

For example, if a player wants to become a catcher or shortstop but isn't currently in that position, I’ll give them a shot.

Previous coaches may have just written them off, but when you give players the chance to prove themselves, you’d be amazed at how quickly their effort and performance improve.

[Heather | @TheOther99Athletes Youth Sports Coach @Talk_Mindset]

You have the chance to figure it out.

A chance that others may never get.

But you do. It’s yours.

Now, take action.

Not just for you, but for the one who would give anything to have the chance you’ve got to make it happen.

[Heather | @TheOther99Athletes Youth Sports Coach @Talk_Mindset]

People quit right before they get what they always wanted to get.

[Heather | @TheOther99Athletes Youth Sports Coach @Talk_Mindset]

Show up.

Show up because there's a chance.

A chance that TODAY is the day everything changes.

A chance to win, to land that job or promotion, to meet your soulmate, to take control of your life - whether it’s getting sober, shedding that weight, or chasing your dreams.

Show up.

Because nothing happens if you don’t.

[Heather | @TheOther99Athletes Youth Sports Coach @Talk_Mindset]

@JeffreyWShapiro That happens to people who get behind me.

I walk slowly to see what's new on the shelves and I'm a label reader once I find something that catches my interest.

[Heather | @TheOther99Athletes Youth Sports Coach @Talk_Mindset]

"God, guide me to become who I need to be to receive the blessings you’ve prepared."

Delayed gratification ensures that when you achieve your goals, you have the skills to maintain and grow them.

God's delay is a form of His protection.

[Heather | @TheOther99Athletes Youth Sports Coach @Talk_Mindset]

I align ambition with action.

Mike Tyson said, "God will give you what you ask for to see if you can handle it."

On the other hand, "God wants to answer your prayers, but waits until you're ready."

So, I pray...

March 2025 Habit Goal:

Break each day into hourly segments and stay as committed to the process as possible.

Do this until I reach 90% + in reliability of this habit.

[Heather | @TheOther99Athletes Youth Sports Coach @Talk_Mindset]

Does anyone keep their social content for future reuse?

If so, what tools do you use, and what’s your process?

[Heather | @TheOther99Athletes Youth Sports Coach @Talk_Mindset]

It's a gain either way...

Because even when you lose, you figure out another way that it doesn't work.

[Kevin Szabo @KevinSzabo14]

You will get there.

For now, you grind.

It will pay off.

Either in what you build or who you become along the way.
