5:21 – How does an athlete transition gracefully from their playing days to the next phases of life?
– There is a major shift in identity. Athletes are known for their sport and position in that sport
– An athlete must prepare for the next chapter in their life along the way so the transition is easier to execute

9:39 – Why has mental health carried a negative stigma for so long?
– People are intimidated by things that are intangible. If you can’t hold it in your hands, it’s not as real
– Continued awareness regarding the importance of mental health will lead to the complete shattering of the stigma
– When your mental health is not at its optimum point, it will have a negative impact on everything you do. This was not something that people focused on or spent time trying to rectify until very recently

– Avoidance will never lead to good results and you’re doing yourself a great disservice

– If you don’t embrace your mental health, you’re shooting yourself in the foot!
16:57 – A major problem that Vince has solved in the evolution of his brand that added value to his community
18:55 – Honesty is king!
– We are adults. Be honest with yourself and with others
– If things need to change, don’t hide it. Be honest and, while the truth may sting to some degree, respect will be gained because honesty was prioritized above all else
19:33 – How did Vince handle stress as a collegiate soccer player and how does he help athletes cope with these issues today?
– It takes tough times to learn how to manage adversity and come out on the other end better because of it
– Vince cultivated his life in a way where positivity was prioritized over the negatives, which helped him keep a more positive mindset as an athlete himself, as well as guide others in the same capacity
– In sports and in business, surround yourself with people who challenge you to get better. You are a product of the five people you spend the most the most time with! If you put yourself in a position where you’ll always win, there’s no challenge and, eventually, complacency will set in
– Sports should be fun and enjoyable! This is the best way to learn important life lessons that bleed into how you evolve in all areas of your life
27:52 – What are some strategies you can incorporate into your practices to manage stress and keep balance center stage?
– Routines, schedules, and structure
– Stress is inevitable and not necessarily a bad thing depending on how much of it is in your life
– Too little stress can lead to a lack of motivation. Too much stress can be paralyzing. But having some degree of stress AND managing it properly can aid in your growth and evolution
– Routines make your life more efficient
– As you get older, life gets more complicated and demanding. If you can set yourself up to be the most efficient version of yourself that you can be, life is a lot easier to handle and stress is easier to manage and regulate
– A morning routine and a nightly routine can serve as great bookends to get you primed for your day, as well as wind down so you can sleep and recharge your system
– Time is your most valuable currency. You can never get more of it and once it’s gone, it’s gone
33:30 – What is one piece of advice on resiliency that you can use in perpetuity?
