Show Notes

1:52 – A time Vince listened to himself instead of what others told him was right and it led to a major accomplishment

3:27 – Some background on Vince’s evolution and lessons he learned along the way

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
     – Athletes need to know that they’re more than just an athlete throughout their entire life. This helps the transition as well

7:08 – What contributed to mental health finally being brought to the forefront?
     – The COVID-19 pandemic played a large role in shining a spotlight on mental health
     – Adopting a belief that we are complex beings and our mindsets and dispositions need to be explored 
     – The importance of establishing a growth mindset, which will help you derive something positive out of a negative experience and become a better person for having faced the negatives and learned from them

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

14:23 – Some of the success stories Vince has experienced working with people suffering from anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues
     – People are much more resilient and stronger than they give themselves credit for!

15:56 – What will happen if you continue to avoid addressing your mental health when you know, deep inside, something needs to change?
     – Avoidance will never lead to good results and you’re doing yourself a great disservice
     – You could be making even bigger issues for yourself, in the long run AND the short run, by trying to ignore issues
     – 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?
