The Mindset U Playbook
The Mindset U Playbook isn’t just about baseball; it’s about building a complete athlete and a complete person. Every episode dives into the habits, mental tools, and daily decisions that separate good players from great ones, and great players from great human beings.
Here, we explore the things that rarely make the highlight reel: discipline, mindset, leadership, recovery, focus, confidence, and the character it takes to thrive when the game ends and real life begins.
You’ll hear stories from athletes, coaches, and high performers who’ve learned that success isn’t built on talent alone; it’s built in the quiet hours, in the routines nobody sees, and in the way you handle the challenges life throws your way.
Whether you’re a youth athlete, a parent, a coach, or simply someone chasing your next level, The MindsetU Playbook gives you the game plan to win on the field and in life.
Because what happens off the field shapes everything on it.

# 62 - Gary Dhillon - Identity

The discussion also touches on the impact of parenthood on identity, the role of positive reinforcement, and the potential for individuals to redefine their identities at any point in their lives. The conversation encourages listeners to reflect on their self-image and the narratives they create about themselves.
