The Easier It Is to Be Good, the Harder It Is to Be Great | Derin McMains

<p>Derin McMains never played a day in the major leagues. Seven years in the Giants organization, five season-ending injuries, as far as Triple-A and no further. He calls it failing at the biggest goal of his life — and says it&#39;s the reason he isn&#39;t afraid of anything now. Fourteen years later he&#39;s a Mental Performance Consultant for the Arizona Diamondbacks and Director of Mental Performance at ReliaQuest. He&#39;s built programs for the Giants, the Mariners, and Notre Dame athletics.</p><p><br></p><p>Seth talks with D-Mac about the framework behind it all: identity determines perspective, perspective determines thoughts, thoughts determine emotions, emotions influence actions. Plus the one-thought reset, what it actually means to compete, why initiative might be the whole secret, and what happens when a generation raised controlling its own narrative walks into a stadium of 70,000 people who won&#39;t cooperate.</p><p>Find Derin on Instagram @dmac_mindset and his show, No Show Dogs, wherever you listen.</p><p>If this one lands, follow the show — and send it to a friend who needs it.</p>
