1,000 Ways to Say the Same Thing
39 episodes - English - Latest episode: about 4 years ago - ★★★★★ - 12 ratingsA coaching cue, is a reminder to an athlete to execute a movement that they have done more times than they can count without even thinking.
The 1,000 Ways to Say the Same Thing Podcast, is just that. A list of helpful cues from those willing to help others accomplish that for themselves.
Hosted by myself, USAW Level 1 Level Coach, and National Bronze Medalist Cesar A. Flores. Join me in the arduous journey, to develop coaching cues for a more driven and focused every day life. Through Sadness, humor, success, failure, and good ole fashion berating. I try to find the best route possible for myself, and in hopes awakens something in you.
Through firsthand experience of my own, and everything that learn from my training and competitions with my Coaches Junior National Champ Sage Burgener, and USAW Hall of Fame Coach Mike Burgener. Along from my fellow athletes and friends, I try to find out what other people are not doing today, so tomorrow I can do what others can not.
From the cues, lessons, and experience shared from beginners to experts in ANY field, and anyone in between who will talk to me; it does takes a little more to be a champion.
Remember, it isn't about what you do when someone is looking, it is about what you do, when no one is looking.
Thank You!
