Win More, Live Better From the Other Side of the Mic: 3 MLB Perspectives on High-Performance Environments
This is the second episode of the From the Other Side of the Mic series where I'm cross-sharing a conversation from a different podcast I've been on. Today's episode is a recording of a discussion I was part of for the Coach Your Brains Out podcast, where I joined Billy Allen, Ceci Clark, and Bernie Holliday for a deep dive into what it truly takes to create a high-performance environment.
In this conversation, you’ll hear three different perspectives from practitioners who have led mental performance departments in Major League Baseball. Together, we unpack how environments are intentionally designed, how standards and behaviors are shaped, and why culture is one of the most powerful performance drivers available to leaders.
Finally, be sure to subscribe to the show to stay current with upcoming short-form and long-form episodes throughout 2026. New guest interview epidoes will be released in a few weeks.
