  • The Three Stages of a Goal

    The Three Stages of a Goal
    May 22 2025

    The discussion focuses on the three stages of achieving big goals: attraction, distraction, and traction. Lanny, a mental management expert, shares his experience of losing 40% of his income after 9/11 and transitioning to an online business. He characterizes the attraction stage as concentrating on benefits, distraction as fixating on costs, and traction as emphasizing personal change. Lanny stresses the importance of overcoming distraction by adapting and maintaining a forward-thinking mindset. He also underscores the inspirational story of Karoly Takacs, a Hungarian pistol shooter who overcame a hand injury to win Olympic gold, illustrating the resilience required for big goals.

    In this episode of the "Winning in Mind" podcast, Troy and Lanny Basham discuss the unique aspects of their Mental Management System compared to other methods like sports psychology and hypnosis. Lanny emphasizes that Mental Management is based on personal experience and success at the highest levels of competition rather than academic theories. He shares his journey of learning from Olympic champions to develop a competitor-based approach that has proven effective over decades. The conversation highlights the growing importance of mental training in sports and the need for athletes to focus on their mental game to succeed.

  • HOW TO TRAIN & BUILD CONFIDENCE

    HOW TO TRAIN & BUILD CONFIDENCE
    Feb 25 2025

    Here is a summary of the key points from the video:

    There are 3 main ways to train: training for feel (focusing on technique), training for the shot (incorporating the full mental process), and training for the round (simulating a full competition). Training for feel is good for beginners/intermediates to build the physical technique subconsciously. As you advance, you should incorporate more of the full mental process into your training, such as a pre-shot routine, point of focus, and post-shot review. For sports like golf and clay shooting, you can do drills that build confidence, like the 5-ball drill and alternating targets drill. The goal is to train the full mental and technical process so that you can trust it and perform under pressure in competition rather than just try harder. The video emphasizes the importance of training the mind and body together to build confidence and perform your best in competition.

There are some real solid points in this podcast, but I'm compelled to comment because a lot of this misses the mark.

The Good:
- Troy's perspective on Major competition (ex, the Olympics) is awesome. Facing that or a once in a lifetime event is a wholly different thing.

- Asking "why" one competes was good, as well as the discussion on The Journey of competition was very good! In context, this was helpful.

The Bad:
- Troy's opening comment as to "is the grief over a person or a pet?" was OFFENSIVE. Thankfully the Co-host essentially said it didn't matter. However...

- ... neither host ever defined Grief or discussed it. This is an essential fault because grief is a process AND grief is not universally the same or scaled. (Thus it was assumed the human death is worse than the pet).

- Troy's use of the US Army's proverb to "embrace the suck" is misplaced. Life can suck, but we shouldn't stay in it. AND the last words of this podcast episode shouldn't be "if you've lost someone, we're sorry for your loss, embrace the suck." !!! THAT'S FLIPPANT.

- Finally, the whole premise of the episode is "the departed would want you to compete." This is similar to "win one for the Gipper." To me, that's irrelevant and here's why:

My Recommendations:
1. The hosts said this at about the 13 minute mark, but the real question is, "can you get into your competitive mindset?" THAT'S the ONLY thing that matters.

2. The departed are dead, and that's the hard thing, but whether or not they're proud doesn't matter.

3. Embracing the Suck doesn't matter. It doesn't need to be embraced. Getting into the focus to complete does matter.

4. The Why and the Journey are essential questions to ask. And these shouldn't be focused on the departed.

I compete in the National Sporting Clays Association. Between 2020 and 2023, I lost my Dad, a father figure that helped me in shooting, and my best bird dog in a tragic accident. So I know what it's like to compete in grief.

This podcast is awesome at shining the light on elite competition and that's a very cool and unique perspective.

Every grief I've suffered is different from the other griefs. But what matters is, "can I get into the process?" If I can't, it's time to ask why, and perhaps reset.

Win One For the Gipper?
