The Million Dollar Question: “What Do You Know Now You Wish You Knew Then?”

Harvey A. Dorfman (May 21, 1935 – February 28, 2011) was a sport psychologist and mental conditioning coach who worked in education and psychology as a teacher, counselor, coach, and consultant in Major League Baseball.

Prior to becoming a mental skills coach, he lived in Manchester, Vermont, where he wrote for a local paper, taught English, and coached basketball at Burr and Burton Academy. He earned World Series rings by serving as a mental skills coach for the 1989 Oakland A's and the 1997 Florida Marlins.

In 1999, Dorfman became a full-time consultant teaching the skills of sport psychology and staff development for the Scott Boras Corporation, an agency that represents professional baseball players. A freelance journalist, Dorfman lectured at major universities and for corporations on psychology, self-enhancement, management strategies, and leadership training. He died on February 28, 2011.

Acclaimed former Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Jamie Moyer was a client of Dorfman's, as was former Toronto Blue Jays and Phillies ace Roy Halladay. Moyer dedicated both his 2013 memoir and a planned pitching academy to his former counselor. “I learned so much from that man," Moyer said, "and to be able to use that knowledge for myself, I really believe I can help others go in the same direction."

It takes a long time to develop and happens naturally as we mature as people – and that takes time.” MYTH #4 “I have too much on my plate as it is. There is not enough time in the day to start i a p p p or training my team on the mental game. They need to figure this part out on their own.” What are some other common mistakes in thinking or action that you see people

make in your field? ____________________________________________________________________________________________

(#7) 2________ DEGREES FOR THE SLIGHT EDGE

“Training for a fight is % physical and % mental. Yet when you get to fight week, there is a shift and it becomes % mental and % physical because the work is already done. The mental game gives you the slight edge you need at the highest level to have success.”

Georges St. Pierre UFC Welterweight Champion

The slight edge is what separates the good from the great, the champions from 2nd place. As you move higher and higher in levels of competition, physical skills equal themselves out. Everyone has talent. You must develop your mental game to compete at the highest levels. The competitive advantage goes to the person who is more focused in the p m , can manage his or her mental and emotional selves, and can execute a simple process on a consistent basis. According to Simple Truths 212 Video the slight edge is what gives you the best

chance for success. What do you do to give you the slight edge? ____________________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________________

• The average margin of victory in golf over the last 25 years is less than three strokes.

• The margin for victory between an Olympic gold medal and no medal at all is

extremely small. In the 2004 men's 800m race, the margin of victory was .71 seconds.

• At the Indianapolis 500 race, the average margin of victory for the past 10 years has

been 1.54 seconds. On average, the winner took home $1,278,813.00 and the second place prize was $621,321.00.

“In the game of football, every play has a life and history of its own. It will usually be 2-3 plays that make the difference between winning and losing. You have to play them all with the same focus and effort. One play at a time.”

(#18) 8 LESSONS FROM A NAVY SEAL ABOUT MINDSET & BEING HARD

1. Never show w __________________________________________________________________________ 2. Never feel s ____________________________________________________________________________ 3. Stay patient in the face of a ____________________________________________________________ 4. The only easy day was y ________________________________________________________________ 5. It pays to be a w ________________________________________________________________________ 6. The race to excellence has no f _________________________________________________________ 7. You don’t rise to the occasion, you sink to your levels of t ______________________________ 8. NDCQ – Not dead c _____________________________________________________________________

The following is an expert from who might be the most mentally tough man in the world.

“I joined the military over 13 years ago to push my limits. When I first joined I couldn’t run down to the mailbox. I weighed 290lbs. The guy at the recruiting office looked at me like I didn’t have a chance. He was very wrong. I became a Navy SEAL.

Well, after 9/11 hit, I lost some buddies in a mission that went bad in Afghanistan. I vowed to do something for the children of those fallen soldiers. I started looking into ways to raise money for them. I really didn’t think selling lemonade on the street corner would work, so I went online and Googled the 10 hardest things to do in the world.

That led me to enter the world’s toughest endurance races – I figured if I experienced some serious physical pain it would impress people to get interested in and donate some money. Someone told me about this ultramarathon race in Death Valley called “Badwater” (a 130-mile race in 120-degree heat). I didn’t even know what an ultramarathon was. So, I called up the race director of Badwater to see if he would let me in. He asked me how many 100-mile runs I had won. I said, “None.” Then he asked how many marathons I had done. “None,” I said. He said I had to have at least one ultramarathon under my belt before he could consider letting me in. Long story short, I got that ultramarathon under my belt and haven’t stopped running since.

I know what it’s like to run 203 miles with busted-up feet. I know what it’s like to be alone three miles out in the freezing ocean in the middle of the night. I know what it’s like to bike 500 miles non-stop. I’m not scared of extreme pain. I’m nobody special, but I refuse to say the words, “I Can’t.” With the Special Ops Warrior Foundation’s help, we put 266 kids through college last year. And that’s what keeps me going. Like I said, I don’t like running. I don’t like biking. I don’t like swimming. I do it to raise money. But, now that I’m in this sport, I want to see how far I can push myself. What makes me tick is that pain you feel when you do these ultramarathons. I can take a lot of pain.” Show No Weakness. David Goggins, United States Navy SEAL

He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both.”
