Ep. 745: Dana Cavalea Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio

My guest today is Dana Cavalea, the former strength, conditioning and performance coach for the New York Yankees and author of, “Habits of a Champion, Nobody Becomes a Champion By Accident.” He started in baseball as an underperforming player, knowing he would never make it to the major leagues. In 2002, at 19 years old, he was given the opportunity to be a towel/weight room cleanup guy for the Yankee’s – he quickly jumped at the chance. The topic is his book Habits of a Champion: Nobody Becomes a Champion By Accident. In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss: Importance of routine Derek Jeter Talent vs. work ethic in pro sports Science behind training Yoga Mindfulness Meditation Downshifting the nervous system Jump in! --- I’m MICHAEL COVEL, the host of TREND FOLLOWING RADIO, and I’m proud to have delivered 10+ million podcast listens since 2012.
