You've been working your tail off.....but the coach is still not showing love. You're starting to think this may be a conspiracy. "What does he have against me? This dude isn't even better than me!"

What most do is spiral out of control, and prove to the coach that the decision made was right because of your meltdown.

What I train you to do in this live call is to approach it differently, and approach it with a mindset and strategy that will make the decision to put you in the lineup a NO BRAINER.
