Amanda describes the experience as, “the biggest moment of my gymnastics career and one of the biggest moments in women’s gymnastics history.” Amanda proved herself to be a steady and consistent gymnast from the start of her training at Cincinnati Gymnastics Academy.

After the 1996 Gold Medal win, Amanda appeared in numerous national tours and television appearances and was featured on the Wheaties Cereal Box.  She graduated summa cum laude from Arizona State University with a degree in elementary education.

While proud of her past, Borden says her focus now is on the next generation of athletes: “My goal is to touch the lives of children all across Arizona to help them reach their goals, whatever they may be”. In addition, Amanda is a member of the USA Gymnastics Hall of Fame and US Olympic Hall of Fame. Most recently, she won an Emmy Award for her coverage and color commentary of NCAA gymnastics.

In The Baseball MPM Podcast With Cain & Casey, Brian Cain, creator of the Mental Performance Mastery (MPM) Coaches Certification and 30 Days to MPM Athletes Program and Sean “The Mayor” Casey, MLB Network Analyst and one of baseball’s all-time best hitters talk about success strategies you can use to master mental performance both on and off the baseball field.

In Episode #8 - The Power of Accountability Cain and Caesy are joined by 2x MLB All-Star, 2013 NL Batting Champion and Minesota Twins Hall of Famer Michael Cuddyer. Cuddyer was the 9th overall pick in the 1997 MLB Draft and played from 2001-2015 with the Twins, Mets and Rockies.  

Cuddyer gives a lot of credit to his mental performance training and the mental game strategies he used to help him win the 2013 NL batting title and in this podcast he shares what made such a big difference for him and how he went from going 3-70 in his first year of pro baseball to being one of the most feared hitters in the game.

In this podcast Cain, Casey and Cuddyer talk about: 

Finding a routine and going deep under the water in season

Intentionally disrupting your routines so you don’t become a slave to the routine

How self-talk and confidence are the separator at the highest level

The biggest challenges you face coming out of HS into pro baseball

The importance of having something to go to when it gets hard

Controlling what you can control and managing all of the variables you can control in performance

“DigMe” Tapes and watching your personal highlights to help with preparation and performance

The power of profanity and having an alter ego

Breathing, meditation and knowing how to stay in control of yourself

Triggers to start an at-bat process nad get yourself dialed in when it matters

Figuring out what the catcher is trying to do to you when at the plate so you can hunt a pitch or guess as a performance strategy

A strategy for holding yourself accountable that YOU MUST use as a player

Why it’s so much easier to let yourself down than an accountability partner.

The difference between wanting success and deserving success

How to use pressure, stress and the competition to increase your energy

Self-talk and what Cuddy learned from an MMA Fighter that changed his career

Mastering the process of the at bat so you can treat game 2 of the season and game 7 of the World Series as the same.

Building the body armour of what you can control and why by being a good teammate, smiling and using others as a strategy you can lock yourself into your own performance.

How baseball breeds anxiety and excitement in players

Why you shouldn’t bring a butter knife to a gun fight

What Cuddy learned from Derek Jeter’s 58 errors in one season at SS that changed his career

Why it’s imperative to work on your mental game and DO THE DRILLS it takes to become mentally tough

When an at-bat starts and the importance of preparation

Corbin Burnes burst onto the Major League Baseball scene in 2018 when he went 7-0 with a 2.61 ERA helping the Milwaukee Brewers to a NL Central league championship and a game 7 in the NLCS vs the LA Dodgers. 2019 was not as kind to the right handed pitcher. Corbin started the season in the starting rotation for the Brewers and ended the year with a 1-5 record and 8.82 ERA, one of the worst ERA’s for any starting pitcher in the game. After being sent down to the minor leagues and back to the bullpen, the Brewers eventually sent Corbin to their pitching lab in Arizona. While visiting the lab at the Brewers spring training complex in Arizona, I met with Corbin at my house for the first time. We went to work on refining his mental game and routines both on and off the field. After a successful shortened season in 2020 where he was 6th in the NL Cy Young voting, 2021 brought even more success. Corbin set a MLB record for starting pitchers by recording 49K’s (and counting) before issuing his first walk, besting the previous record of 36. When you combine the 2020 and 2021 seasons, he is 3rd in the MLB in wins above replacement (WAR) at 3.7, which is only slightly behind Cy Young Award winners Shane Bieber (4.4) and Jacob deGrom (4.3).   You could say that the turnaround has been completed, yet Corbin would tell you the turnaround is always under construction and that there’s no finish line in the race he is running. In this podcast, Corbin and I talk about the mental performance skills he works to develop to give him the best chance for success on the mound including:

What he uses most from The 30 Days to MPM for Athletes Program and why he looks at it every day

His Daily Routines on and off the field including his AM and PM Routine

What he tracks with his Daily Success Checklist

Why he reads The Daily Stoic, The Mental ABCs of Pitching and specifically the chapter on execution

Why he calls Dr. Rob Gilbert and Success Hotline as a part of his daily drive

What he learned from UFC Champion Georges St-Pierre about self-control, Signal Lights and Mental Bricks

How he uses the Calm meditation app, as a part of his recovery protocol

How and when he uses mental imagery, visualization and his mind movie

How and why he uses concentration grids as a part of his mental performance training program

Why and how he does weekly shadow bullpens to increase preparation and confidence

What he does for a well, better, how post pitching performance analysis to keep him focused on the process

The details of his 120 hour routine between starts

His pre-inning, pre-batter, pre-pitch routines

What he does between innings in the dugout

How his understanding and commitment to process has evolved over his career

How he manages the pressure, stress and expectations that come with being a front line starter in the Major Leagues

What he has learned in his career that he wishes he knew when he was an amateur player in high school and college

What he loves about golf and how he uses golf as a training ground for his mental game 

And much much more...

Today I share with you the #1 most important aspect of my AM routine. I call it #SweatBeforeScreens It’s a concept I’ve been implementing with more intention since March 2020 (Per Covid-19) because I have had more control over my schedule.

I find that when I #SweatBeforeScreens I have more energy, better focus, increased ability to take on stress which is called resilience, I am more friendly and maybe most important, I am more present and productive.

Some days it’s a run, others it’s yoga or a quick 5x5x5 lift where I will do 5 exercises, 5 reps and 5 sets of each. The key here, as it is for most aspects of life is consistency. I have tested this myself and with many of my clients and they report similar experiences.

Once I get in front of a laptop, phone, (I don’t do TV much, but if I do, that fits here as well) or start my work day… I have a VERY hard time stopping and then reinvesting into myself.

If you are struggling with a consistent workout routine or struggling with simply making the amount of intentional investment into yourself that your life deserves, give #SweatBeforeScreens a try. You won’t be disappointed.

In BC158 you learned about the importance of Surviving The Assault and Working The Cut.    In BC 162 we take a lesson from one of the greatest fighters of all time and Finish Them Off! Joe Louis held the heavyweight boxing championship from 1937 to 1949.  His 12 years of dominance is the longest reign ever by a heavyweight champion. In his career, he won 66 fights - 49 by knockout, 10 coming in the first round. He had an efficient boxing style, he was a master of the fundamentals. The boxing analysts say he has the best ENERGY of any boxer, better than Tyson, better than Ali because he was always moving forward, he was Always on The Attack. When he got close to the finish he said that he used to be able to smell the KO coming. Champions can tell when finish is near.  They channel that into a laser like focus on winning punches and executing one punch at a time. Louis is one of the greatest of all time and life all the great ones who ever live, there can be no greatness without adversity. June 19, 1936 Louis lost by KO in the 12 RD to German fighter Max Schmeling.  The Loss is what propelled Lewis to his 12 years of DOMINANCE. Two years later on June 22, 1938 with a sold out crowd of 70,000 in Yankee Stadium Louis won by 1st Rd KO. In that 12 year span, he defended his title 25 times and won 22 by KO.

Dr. Steve Taubman’s early years were plagued by crippling anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem.  Despite graduating as valedictorian from one of the nation’s top chiropractic colleges and running a thriving practice, Dr. Steve found that his outer success did little to calm his inner turmoil. Thus began a thirty-year journey to understand the root of his suffering.  His exploration of Western psychotherapy, Eastern teachings of mindfulness, hypnosis, and the science of neurology provided profound insight into the universal nature and cause of suffering:  the subconscious mind… which ultimately led to the creation of his successful UnHypnosis system and best-selling book. Blending his teachings with a longtime passion for comedy and magic, Dr. Steve developed a series of insightful, fun presentations about mastering the subconscious mind.  These were quickly embraced by organizations for their ability to get people into action. Since then, Dr. Steve’s excitement, motivation and enthusiasm have earned him fans from every profession as he continues to enthrall audiences worldwide, helping them remove mental barriers to achieving their dreams.  Dr. Steve’s presentations are world-class entertainment and world-class education.  His ability to blend entertainment and education is what separates him from anyone else in the field.
