The Secrets to Winning with Dr. Bhrett McCabe

Ole Miss named Mike Bianco head coach of the Rebel baseball program on June 7, 2000. Since then, Bianco has become the winningest coach in program history and one of the top coaches in Southeastern Conference history while establishing Ole Miss as one of the premier programs in college baseball. In today's age of short coaching tenures, Bianco is the longest-tenured coach in the SEC across all sports. In this episode of the Secrets to Winning, I sat down with a coach that had a tremendous impact on my career as a player and on my life. We talk about taking a program that was at the bottom of the SEC and turning it into a perennial power.

I recently came across a blog post written by professional golfer Andrew Johnston. More commonly referred to as "Beef", Johnston wrote about his past mental health struggles over the weekend, and I decided to dedicate this week's episode to discussing mental health and how to overcome those struggles. We live in a very stressful environment. It's ok to have fears, pains, and doubts. It's ok to be honest about feeling that pain. Mental health struggles can and do affect everyone, from the player playing to the coach coaching to the parent watching.

This week's guest on the Secrets to Winning is the College Director of the American Baseball Coaches Association, Jeremy Sheetinger. "Sheets", as he is more commonly referred to in coaching circles, is a leader in coaching development in the game of baseball, especially at the collegiate level. A former collegiate coach in the SEC and other Division I schools, Sheets has created a model in which all sports can utilize to grow their games through education, engagement, and the sharing of ideas and systems. This is tremendous information for coaches of all ages, as well as those who are in the coaching development field, to grow their process, continue to enhance player development, and so much more!

Our guest this week on The Secrets to Winning is former White House Director of Message Strategy and New York Times Best Selling Author Cliff Sims. I recently sat down with Cliff to get a first-hand account of what really happened during his 500 days in the Trump White House. Soon after standing at Donald Trump's side on Election Night, Sims soon joined him in the West Wing. He quickly found himself pulled into the President's inner circle as a confidante, an errand boy, an advisor, a punching bag, and a friend. Sometimes all in the same conversation. As a result, Sims gained unprecedented access to the President, sitting in on private meetings with key Congressional officials, world leaders, and top White House advisors. He saw how Trump handled the challenges of the office, and he learned how to view the world from the President's perspective which allowed him to better understand the methods behind such a polarizing figure. Throughout this conversation, we peel back the curtain on what makes the most powerful man in the world successful and what are his secrets to winning!

How does a former collegiate golfer turned award-winning radio personality compare the two ventures. How are they different? What components are similar? Our guest this week on The Secrets to Winning is nationally-renowned sports radio host Ryan Brown. You can hear Ryan every weekday morning on WJOX 94.5 in Birmingham, AL or throughout the Southeast on several FM and XM stations. He is also a former collegiate golfer at Jacksonville State University. Ryan has an amazing perspective on human performance, both as a collegiate athlete and now as someone who now interacts with high-profile coaches, athletes, and celebrities on his radio show. How he is able to relate the factors of his golf playing experiences to those of entertaining the rabid college football fans of the Southeast region is truly fascinating, and I think you will get a ton out of this conversation!
