Control the Controllables w/ Devon Toews

On today's episode, Drew and Coach B are joined by good friend and NHL champion, Devon Toews. Coach B briefly tells us about his trip to the White House and seeing and reminiscing with the players and coaches for the first time since school ended. Coach makes a great point about experiences and how they will never be the same. The crew discusses some of the struggles Devon had in his early development stages of youth sports and how we overcame what seemed to be opportunity-crushing odds. Devon also dives into his routine and mindset on how he approaches life, competition, and relationships. As many know Coach B is a great mentor to Devon and we learn why and how that became a reality during Devon's time at QU. Our podcast will continue to interview and bring insights to our community from other high performers like Toews. We hope you all enjoy our first official interview on Meta Athletes Playbook!

Value of Time

How we talk to ourselves matters. Self-talk is an incredibly powerful tool- that can transform one’s energy and change our mindset. Drew and Coach B talk about pushing oneself to achieve personal growth and success in various aspects of life. Coach B shares a story about one of his athletes who deleted social media to focus on reading and self-development. They discuss the value of time and energy, the importance of setting challenging goals, and the mindset needed to achieve them. Drew discusses his experience with running and the lessons it has taught him thus far. They tell us how pushing oneself to high levels requires speaking to oneself at a high level while persevering through adversity and discomfort. Always remember you don’t have to change everything at once. It is essential not to overwhelm yourself.

Influence

Influence is a powerful thing. It is a force that can shape our thoughts, decisions, and actions without us even realizing it. Whether it is an inspiring speech from a motivational speaker or a persuasive product ad on social media, influence is all around us. Influence is to try and have an effect on somebody else. On May 22nd, those who hold influence circulated an AI-generated image of an explosion near the Pentagon, causing the S&P 500 to drop by 50 points. They didn’t know it was AI-generated then, but their influence led to a dip in the market. Coach B and Drew discuss managing our reactions to these outside influences and influencers better. Coach B reminds us to slow down and ask questions about the person doing the influence to do our research. Drew tells us how saying negative things out loud instead of thinking has a profound negative effect. Coach B reminds us that we directly impact everyone around us every time we say something or do something, positive or negative. The words we choose directly impact our reality; the words we use have power; choose your influence wisely.

Seeking Adversity

When most people hear the word "adversity," they immediately cringe at the thought of facing setbacks or challenges. Drew and Coach B discuss how seeking adversity can actually be super rewarding, like a workout for your mental muscles. Similar to lifting weights or running sprints, facing challenges can help you grow stronger and more resilient. Coach B reinforces the fact that it is about our perception of stress and reminds us that “No growth happens in the state of comfort.” When we conquer our battles of adversity, the feeling of accomplishment is out of this world. Don't be afraid to seek out adversity; it may be the key to unlocking your full potential! 
This is episode is a wealth of knowledge.

The Infinite Game

Life is one big game that never truly ends. Coach B and Drew discuss life as an infinite game where the rules always change, and the stakes are always high. From investing to playing sports, a career, and raising a family, every aspect of our lives is a part of this infinite game. We may start with a clear objective, but we learn to adapt, change our strategies, and keep moving forward as we go along. There's always room for improvement, and every success or failure is just another challenge to overcome in this game called life. They talk about betting on themselves and use Ben and the Killa Bears as examples. Drew and Coach B discuss building through adversity and enjoying the process. Have fun along the way, take risks, learn as much as possible, and make every day count?

Success Leaves Clues

This week we celebrate Coach B and Quinnipiac University winning the Men’s NCAA Frozen Four Championship. Drew and Coach B discuss how setting goals is crucial for success and how creating a culture of accountability can make all the difference. Coach B tells us how he fosters a team of winning. Drew and Coach remind us that when surrounded by a team of people committed to their own personal and professional growth, it's hard not to feel inspired to do the same. Holding yourself accountable for reaching those goals gives you a sense of purpose and direction that can't be beaten. Of course, it's important to have fun along the way! Nothing is more motivating than enjoying the journey and celebrating the victories as they come; just ask the guys on the Quinnipiac Men’s Ice Hockey team!
