PEP Talk #40: Lessons from Greg Harden (Thank You, Greg)
In today’s very special PEP talk, I share lessons from the renowned Greg Harden. He helped me through my time at the University of Michigan and changed my life forever since then. It was an honor to know him and work with him as a student-athlete. I may not remember every word he told me, but I will always remember how he made me feel. He is the reason and the inspiration behind why I am a mental performance consultant today. #GoBlue #GregHarden #UMich Support and contact info: Please purchase Greg’s book: https://gregharden.com/books/ https://linktr.ee/brileycasanova ***DISCLAIMER: Please note that I do not claim to be a Psychologist, Psychiatrist or have the ability to diagnose anyone with any mental health or psychological disorders.

PEP Talk #32: Hard Work Doesn't Guarantee Success
In today’s PEP talk, I discuss a newfound conclusion I have come to that's not exactly popular... hard work does NOT guarantee success. However, I think this mindset comes from a more positive place than expected. I hope this mindset and the reasons why we talk about this idea make sense. The idea may not initial provide comfort, but I hope by the end of the episode you understand more about why this mindset may be a more protective thing than what's expected.  Support/contact info:  Patreon (EXCLUSIVE UPDATES!): https://www.patreon.com/brileycasanova  PayPal: paypal.me/BrileyCasanova  Venmo (If you'd like to donate to my business directly): @BrileyCasanova  Instagram: @MentalCoachBriley  Twitter: @MentalCoachBri  Schedule a free consultation with me: https://completeperformancecoaching.com/meet-coach-briley/  E-mail: [email protected]  Facebook Page: fb.me/MentalCoachBriley  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYQy2sauQjtA8E0C_F3nrHQ  ***DISCLAIMER: Please note that I do not claim to be a Psychologist, Psychiatrist or have the ability to diagnose anyone with any mental health or psychological disorders.
