MM025 Alan Stein Jr., Former Big League Sports Coach, Talks Habits, Presence, and Evolution

 

Alan Stein, Jr. is a former big league sports and performance coach turned motivational speaker who individuals, audiences, and organizations discover techniques and strategies to improve their performance, increase accountability, and raise their game to be the best they can be. As a highly sought-after keynote speaker, he has presented on various stages and at workshops and training seminars such as TEDx Baylor School. He is also the author of Raise Your Game: High-Performance Secrets from the Best of the Best, a book that shares tips and strategies used by world-class top performers on establishing and repeating good habits that will increase your A-game and take your performance to the next level.

 

Alan joins me today to discuss the importance of embracing change and evolution to create better habits and increase your performance. He explains how your ability to perform at a high level is tied to your self-confidence, self-value, and self-worth and shares why giving yourself the same grace and compassion that you would give to others is the key to unlocking true happiness. He also shares his three-step process for breaking poor habits and creating lasting change as well as why he is proud to be “amicably divorced” and how it has helped him be a better ex-husband while being more present in the lives of his children.

 

 

“It’s okay to be human - and it’s important to remember that.” - Alan Stein, Jr.
