I was off the Netflix bandwagon for several years. But we recently broke down and subscribed due to my growing affection for tennis.
Susan started playing a little over a year ago, and as a former collegiate racquetball player (recreationally), I decided to give it a spin too. Now, the entire family is playing tennis, taking lessons, and having fun on the court together.
How does that tie into Netflix? There’s a series called Break Point that follows professional tennis players through the trials and tribulations of their tournament prep and play.
I’m a sucker for mindset stuff (if you’re in our coaching programs, you know it’s the core focus of EVERYTHING we do because the right mindset is so powerful). And I had heard this series dug into the mindset of the elite tennis players, who have to be borderline crazy to do what they do day in and day out.
So we go the subscription to check it out. And sure enough, Break Point did not disappoint. Even if you’re not a tennis fan, to see the grueling mental and physical processes these players go through is as eye-opening as it is educational.
Today, I want to share a few “mindset-oriented” Netflix recommendations in no particular order:
- Break Point (obviously)
- Full Swing – a pro golf version of Break Point. These guys also require tremendous amounts of mental fortitude to grind away on the pro tour.
- The Comeback – about the 2004 Boston Red Sox, who were the only team in Major League Baseball history to come back from a 0-3 deficit to win the American League pennant over the Yankees.
- Untold: Swamp Kings – About the 2006 – 2009 Florida Gators (who won 2 national championships) and the challenges they faced to get and stay on top.
- Quarterback – A docuseries about NFL quarterbacks and the physical, mental and emotional toll the game takes on them.
Now these series will be on Netflix for a while.
But another great piece of “mindset” content that you need to watch NOW is NOT on Netflix. It’s the replay from the “Eyes on the Prize” webinar I did last week with Michael King.
We get into the mindset and mechanics of activating the hidden assets in your practice – your non-converted leads, non-converted consults and even happy patients – and turning them into surgery patients.
You can find the replay here, and we drop a special offer at the 49-minute mark that frankly I thought was ridiculous but Michael wanted to do it, so we went with it.
We have 2 spots left available with the “Bonus Offer” for the first ones who claim it. And that offer ends at the stroke of Halloween, i.e. tonight at 12 am pacific.
We detail it all in the video. Check it out here. Even if you aren’t interested in the offer, the first 49 minutes are filled with pearls you can take and use in your practice. So enjoy.
