Ep.105: Atlanta Braves Coach Paul Davis on Psychological Capital (PsyCap) and Coping Skills for Elite Performance
It has been a long time coming for who I deem "The Smartest Man in Baseball", to come onto this podcast. Paul Davis is the Atlanta Brave's Director of Pitching, former Major League Pitching coach for the Seattle Mariner's, and my former colleague when we worked for the St. Louis Cardinals together where Paul served alongside me with the rehab group as the "Rehab Pitching Coach" while I served as the St. Louis Cardinals Medical & Rehab Coordinator from 2015 through the end of the 2017 season. Most of all Paul is a dear friend and mentor of mine.
Building upon the last episode where I first mention Psychological Capital (PsyCap), Paul and I discuss how he has integrated psychology into his work as a pitching coach to get the most performance out of those he serves and how this can also help all of us in our own life's version of High Stakes performance needs.
Paul Davis was interviewed for part of the book The Arm which we discuss in this episode.

Ep.104: Overcoming Doubt as an Underdog
In this episode I explore what the ingredients are for people to overcome self doubt and build a sense of a belief in oneself utilizing "psycap" (positive psychological capital). I bring you into how I became an underdog with clips from my childhood ice hockey days along with a conversation with my colleague, peer, and friend Bryant Villota as we play some basketball together.

Inspirational podcast!
Loved it! I had my notepad out, catching so many great tips. You asked great questions and Brett did not disappoint. He’s an inspiration, and a great example of reminding all of us to “get better” every day. 👍🙌
Thank you
I came across Daves podcast a few years back
while I was going through a tough time. Dave
worked with me through it all and got me through
some really tough times. If your serious about
getting better then I suggest talking to Dave, it
was the best thing I did.
Wonderful podcast
I met Dr. Dave during physical therapy after a bad accident and he told me about his podcast. I was hooked from the first episode!! His podcast and his demeanor are great. He has definitely helped me achieve my goals just by listening and reading his book. I’d recommend this to anyone
