The Secrets to Winning with Dr. Bhrett McCabe

This week, I wanted to bring back some of the best as we take a deeper dive into the perspective of coaching. The great thing about this compilation of coaches is that they compete in four different sports, but all of them are successful at the highest level and have been able to coach some of the best athletes in the world. The lineup looks like this: Bob Bowman - Head Swimming Coach, Arizona State University Swimming (and US Olympic Coach of Michael Phelps) Brett Bartholomew - Strength & Conditioning Coach across 23 sportss including Super Bowl winners, World Series champions, and Olympians Gene Chizik - Former National Champion Head Football Coach, Auburn University Dana Duckworth - Head Gymnastics Coach, The University of Alabama They will be the first to tell you this...Coaching isn't easy. It challenges the essence of every single person in the entire organization. One of the biggest frustrations I hear from coaches is "What is it that I need to do to help my athletes win?" Win in life, win in athletics, and find the true competitor within themselves.

Many elite-level athletes come from a world where they have been nurtured by those around them. I wouldn't go as far as to say they have been protected, but there can be a case made for that. Then, when they get to the college ranks, they are being put under intense pressure. To perform at the highest level in front of hundreds of thousands in the stands and millions more on television. Mental health has never been a more important subject or a more important hot topic item in athletics than it is today. That is especially the case at a place like The University of Alabama. Our guest this week on The Secrets to Winning is Ginger Gilmore-Childress, the Director of Behavioral Medicine for The University of Alabama athletics and a pioneer in NCAA athletics. Athletic departments across the country are studying, learning, and trying to emulate what Ginger has built - a gold-standard, groundbreaking department built on the mental well-being of student-athletes.
