Episode 506: Episode 265-Eric Potter- Making It To Complicated Leads To Failure

Published: Dec. 1, 2020, 5 a.m.

“We don’t have to guard the weight room the whole day, you should spend time working yourself.”

“If we want a certain thing, we have to set ourselves up for success. So, if you want a certain guy to jump higher he needs to jump more. If you want a certain guy to shoot better he needs to shoot more. And trying to make it more complex than it actually needs to be is just setting everyone up for failure.”

In this week’s episode of The Podcast I get the opportunity to talk about taking care of ourselves off the court and using those lessons to connect with athletes, with ODU’s Eric Potter. After a quick run-down of how Eric got down to Norfolk we get into what financial literacy is to him, why it’s important, and how we both got into looking into this subject. This leads us into the discussion of being more time efficient and looking at doing better with the time we have and scheduling for what we really do, not just guarding the weight room. We finish off talking about how important it is to keep things simple and moving towards the specific goals of the moment both in training and in life.
