Speaker and mental performance coach Ben Newman discusses the powerful concept of ‘the burn’—the underlying driving force that fuels one’s purpose and actions towards achieving greatness. Newman shares a personal story of his mother’s battle with a chronic illness, which instilled in him the importance of resilience and not wasting a single day. The discussion also explores how this concept helps high performers in sports and business maintain their focus and discipline, even in the face of adversity or success. Newman emphasizes the need for individuals to find their own ‘burn’ to sustain peak performance and make the most of every moment. 00:00 Introduction: Playing to Win 00:49 Meet Ben Newman: Mental Performance Coach 01:42 The Burn: Finding Your Inner Fire 06:43 Lessons from Nick Saban 10:04 Standard Over Feelings: The Key to Consistency 17:50 Translating Sports Lessons to Business 20:20 Learning from the Greats 24:20 Staying Grounded and Motivated 26:28 Vision and Legacy: Impacting Billions 29:17 Conclusion and Contact Information
