🔥Christopher Ray Coleman’s Post

TRIGGERED 2 TRIUMPH 🔥🚀🎙️ This is a clip from a podcast I was a guest on in 2018. In so many ways, this Chris does not exist anymore…. ❌The brand I owned at the time no longer exists. ❌The book on the table in the video has been revised and is now Triggered 2 Triumph. ❌I don't even use much of the verbiage I'm using in this clip. But one thing stands out the most to me in this clip. At this time, I noticed how much self-talk mattered when it came to the clients I coached. Today, after years of studying neuroscience-based strategies with peak performance, I truly know how much self-talk matters! It’s one of skills needed to master one of the six types of grit: the grit to control your thoughts. There are only two kinds of thoughts: 1️⃣Those that constrict us….. 2️⃣Those that expand us…. Negative thoughts constrict, positive thoughts expand. And you can feel the difference. And you'll need a lot more positive self-talk than you think… Social psychologist, Barbara Fredrickson, discovered “the positivity ratio,” or the fact that it takes three positive thoughts to counter a single negative thought. “Three-to-one,” she wrote in a journal article, “is the ratio we’ve found to be the tipping point beyond which the full impact of positive emotions becomes unleashed.” WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH STUDENT-ATHLETES⁉️ I would say the ratio is flipped for the modern-day student-athlete. For every positive thought, its countered by three negative thoughts. Due to factors like social media and the dwindling of amateurism at the level, there's so much doubt and negativity surrounding them. The fact that they perform well in their sports and in the classroom speaks to their resiliency rather than their biology working at its optimal state. So that's where me and my methodology comes in! To learn how I can add value to your student-athletes as a keynote speaker or workshop facilitator for the 24/25 school year, send me a DM! #Triggered2Triumph #KeynoteSpeaker #LinkedinSports #StudentAthleteDevelopment #PlayerDevelopment #LifeAfterSports #LifeSkills #EmotionalIntelligence #PeakPerformance

Jeremiah recently received the speaker of the year award as part of Eric Thomas & Associates LLC speaking academy…. 🗣 I need to give him an award as an accountability partner also!!! 🏆 From personal conversations, to seeing him lead from the front, to even being a great dad, he keeps my iron sharp! ⚔️ He provided a review for the back cover of my book. My favorite part is: “It offers an invaluable perspective shift from trauma triggers to flow triggers that help athletes feel their best and perform their best - making it the playbook every student-athletes needs for long-term success.” 🔥Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/d8GfnXXD #LinkedInSports #StudentAthleteDevelopment #PlayerDevelopment #PeakPerformance #FLOW #Burnout #LifeAfterSports

This was the first time sharing my vision & mission for Triggered 2 Triumph 🫣 I spent a couple of years after the pandemic happened with my head down. Pivoting (2020) Strategizing (2020-2021) Writing the book (2021-2023) My story being published on their platform made it real.😮 And I've truly been walking in my purpose ever since!😤🔥🚀 ⬇️Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/edX_EKdh

I value this guy's opinion so much, I had to put this on the back cover of my book! Kenneth Scott is a University of Utah football legend. He has crushed his life after sports transition by becoming an author, musician/artist, keynote speaker, and adjunct professor at Rice University. My favorite part of his review is: “Believe in yourself, take action, and read Triggered 2 Triumph. Your future self will be grateful for the inspiration and guidance it provides.” 🔥Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/d8GfnXXD #LinkedinSports #StudentAthleteDevelopment #LifeAfterSports #PersonalDevelopment #Books #Author #ReadersLead #LeadersRead

Kirby Smart, John Wooden, & Bear Bryant….

Over the next 10 weeks, I’ll dive into the 10 team flow triggers with my lifeletter, 2 Infinity & Beyond. A good way to look at this is, “The 10 Components Found in Every Championship Team, Organization, & Workplace.” 🏆 These 10 triggers will improve your skills as a teammate and leader and help you see what every coach and business owner looks for in their team. It’ll also help you stand out from the pack and advance to a leadership position no matter where you go in life. And I'm starting with the team flow trigger: Complete Concentration Link to this edition is in the comment section.⬇️🔥 Repost this to help it reach more student-athletes! 🔁 #StudentAthleteDevelopment #LifeAfterSports #FlowTriggers #FLOW #PeakPerformance #LinkedInSports

It’s time to take an offensive approach vs a defensive one. Lets shift the focus from trauma triggers to flow triggers. “Being triggered” doesn't equal bad… …it depends how it’s done. Check out these 3 examples: 1️⃣ Hugh Jackman is quoted saying, “I’m an actor who believes we all have triggers to any stage of emotion. It’s not always easy to find but it’s still there.” He’s referring to the fact that every tool he needs to complete his job in front of the camera is already within him. The key is honing the skill to execute on demand. 2️⃣ On the topic of advertising, David Droga believes that, “Great advertising triggers an emotion in you. It has purpose. It touches a nerve, and that provokes a reaction.” My good friend, Maria Lloyd, is a bona fide master copywriter/email marketer. And on a couple of occasions, without noticing, she’s hinting at the fact that she wants to trigger a response with her copy. She wants the recipient to open the email, click the call-to-action, and pay cash for her offer—she’s even named her brand OCC (Opens Clicks Cash). 3️⃣ This even applies to music! Soak this quote in from Akon: Melody has a certain way that it projects back to you. It triggers certain nerves in your body and certain instincts that normally wouldn’t be triggered by a normal voice. And on a neuroscience/peak performance level, triggering flow states can increase 📈Strength 📈Endurance 📈Muscle reaction times 📈Motivation and productivity 📈Creativity and innovation 📈Learning and memory 📈Empathy and environmental awareness 📈Cooperation and collaboration While simultaneously decreasing: 📉Sense of pain 📉Exertion 📉Exhaustion 📉Depression 📉Anxiety Our intention to focus on trauma triggers with student-athletes is valiant, but based on statistics, the impact isn't valuable. Let’s make the shift‼️ If you found this valuable, please repost🔄 P.S. what has been your reaction to my content on flow triggers and what lightbulb moment did this post give you? #LinkedInSports #StudentAthleteDevelopment #FLOW #Burnout #FlowTriggers #PeakPerformance #LifeAfterSports

This book isn't for the average or stagnant. It’s for SAs and SADV professionals who truly want to go beyond their current capacity. Back in 2002, the US Department of Education was charged with determining which skills our children need to thrive in the 21st century. The old answer, of course, was the three Rs: Reading Writing Arithmetic. The new answer? The four Cs: Creativity Critical Thinking Collaboration Cooperation This is a perfect example of what used to work or be enough, just doesn’t cut it anymore. This is the approach I took with writing Triggered 2 Triumph; to reimagine the way we view life after sports transitions. I believe triggering ourselves is truly treating ourselves with the 22 flow triggers I cover in the book, along with the many stories of athletes/coaches we all know applying them.

Steven Kotler is the leading expert on peak performance and flow states....and a mentor of mine 💪🏾🧠🚀 He ended his book, The Art of Impossible, saying: "I think that all of the information contained in this primer puts a great, yet terrible burden on each of us. Think about it this way: What impossible challenges would you tackle if you knew you could be 500 percent more productive? If you could be 600 percent more creative? If you could cut learning times in half? That's exactly what the tools and the techniques in this book can provide..." I took my creativity and wrote Triggered 2 Triumph to help student-athletes tackle their life after sports transition by rejecting burnout, building a high-flow lifestyle with flow triggers, and just reimaging "transitions" altogether. 🔥🌊📈 I published the book on March 25th last year, and since then, the response and impact have been beyond rewarding. But with my background in sales, marketing, and personal branding, I had to relaunch the book and position it to reach more student-athletes. My intention with this is to truly relaunch the book with its new cover, get it in front of more eyeballs, and build momentum to get it into more hands! Thanks to Jeremiah Brown and Kenneth Scott for their testimonials on the back cover 🙏🏾 This is truly the book I needed 15 years ago when my life after sports transition started!
