“If you have a goal to attain, in the athletic realm or in life, this book is for you!  Read this book, implement Coach JC’s teaching, and watch your world transform!”

– Johnny Quinn,  U.S. National Bobsled Team Member, Former NFL Athlete (Buffalo Bills, Green Bay Packers); CEO & Founder of The Athlete Watch, a pro-active leadership course in college recruiting; www.TheAthleteWatch.com 

“JC is a fantastic trainer, teacher, speaker and life success coach. I’ve heard and read many “experts” speak about the mental approach of life and sports, but I have never seen someone present these concepts and techniques in such a practical and insightful way.”

“Coach JC is not only a world class coach, presenter and author, he’s a world class human being, period.”

“Coach JC has a passion for motivating people to achieve their dreams and a clear-cut path to get there.  Coach JC lays out a clear and detailed plan for athletes young and old to achieve success both in the arena and in the game of LIFE!”

“This book, I can say is a SHORTCUT for all the secrets of mindset that ALL athletes must know.Thanks Coach JC!”

Fabio Leopoldo

“Coach JC clearly identifies the concept that Peak Performance occurs only when the mind and body are working in unison to maximize your full potential.”

“Jonathan Conneely is one of the most positive and motivated people I have ever met.  His drive to be successful is infectious and his ability to connect and encourage others to get the most out of their gifts is unparalleled.  He is committed to excellence in all aspects of his life, and I am blessed to call him a friend and mentor.”

“Every successful athlete has dealt with fear, anxiety, failure and everything negative in between. Many of us have wanted to quit at times, give up on our dreams, struggled with confidence and wondered whether we would ever make it. The difference between those who are successful and those struggling with mediocrity, I’ve found, is their spiritual and mental make up. Working with a few thousand kids over the last 20 years has taught me that no one goes further beyond their physical development than where they are in their mental development. This book can not only help a person with their mental capacity to succeed but also reach their God given potential. Mediocrity is the norm in our society today and I’m excited to have another resource to use with my athletes and myself to challenge us to go further than what our comfort zone and mind set might settle for.’

“In preparing for a fight, confidence is KING. You have to know that everything you’ve done leading up to a fight has prepared you for stepping into the ring with your opponent.

JC always has a positive attitude and it’s very motivating and sometimes being around a motivational person to remind you of your goals is key to unleashing a productive workout.”

Hear some of the WINNING RESULTS from the clients Coach JC has worked with:

I started to train with coach JC  because I loved how much energy they brought out to the gym and I knew they pushed your body to your fullest potential so if I wanted to be the best I knew I had to train with the best!

My life as an athlete before I came to Coach JC was soooo negative and I didn’t really have the right mindset or gameplay as a successful athlete. I was never that passionate or positive before.

I have noticed now that I am a role model and that I have potential in anything that I do! I have more positive thinking and a strong urge to go out and earn what I have worked so hard for. I can now do this while also having fun and always smiling!

The most motivational quote Coach JC told me and that has stuck with me and I live by everyday is, “Great athletes do everyday what good athletes do occasionally!” So never be that guy who is only working hard because a coach or someone is watching you. You have to bust your butt everyday no matter what the circumstances are!

I have truly learned that having the right mindset is the key to success either on the field or in life! Staying positive and believing in your ability to do anything you want to. They say any game is 90% mental and only 10% physical so if you go into a game dreading it or scared before it even started the other team has you beat! Be positive and tell yourself your going to go out there and win!

Staying focused and committed to yourself! You can never take days off because I remember when coach said that when your taking days off your competition is getting better and putting great work in! So if you want to be the best go to your workouts at 5 in the morning and who knows maybe your completion is sleeping? Always put in your fullest effort in whatever you do! Because a day wasted you will never get back! Never end the day asking or telling yourself , man only of I did one more or if I ran that extra sprint because “if you want something you’ve never had, you have to do something you’ve never done!

Tyler Ellman- Airforce

“I HAD IT ALL! (or at least I thought I did) I was a very successful collegiate baseball pitcher. I was a 2-time All-American. I held multiple NCAA records.  I had more trophies than losses. I was close to signing professionally twice, and all of that came to a screeching halt. I had no idea what to do. Imagine having one dream your entire life, then being told that dream is not possible anymore. Luckily, I set myself up academically to get accepted into the Baylor University Graduate School. My best friend then introduced me to the city of Tulsa & I fell in love immediately. I found Coach JC, and when I met him, God gave me this overwhelming feeling that I needed to be around him, some how, some way. Talk about divine appointment!

I came to Coach JC depressed, lost, & extremely overweight. The only life I knew was Baseball; it was my identity. I was a winner in Baseball, & nothing else. Coach JC pushed my limits day after day and helped me realize the potential that I have. He showed me how to transfer the valuable skills I learned through baseball into every aspect of my life. Now, I have lost over 60 pounds, and I am doing things I’ve never done before. To top it all off, I am walking out my purpose every single day! He has changed my life forever!

There is no greater power than the words you speak into your life! The words you speak will train your thoughts, and your thoughts will spark action – good or bad. It’s time to take control of your life, and the first step in doing so is reading this book, and TRUSTING the system Coach JC has laid out for you! If it worked for me, it WILL work for you.”

Mindset is EVERYTHING! “As a man thinketh so is he”. How you think is who you will become and how you will perform. Most importantly it will dictate how you will live your life. By the grace of God I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to be showered by Coach JC with moral, physical and most importantly spiritual knowledge. He has helped transform my mindset into one of a Champion, man of God and world changer, which is critical for one to succeed.

When I think back at every conversation we have had, two words come to mind, “Separate Yourself.” God only created one version of you for a reason and when you can embrace that fully you become an original on the market instead of somebody else’s knock-off. That mindset is what it takes to pursue your dreams, transform your thoughts into positive ones and be successful in whatever it is you set your heart on. If I think like a Champion, then nothing can stop me. If i think like a man of God, then I do what’s right even when no one is looking. If I think like a WORLD changer, then I WILL shake this nation. It all starts with a right mindset and ends with crooked thinking. Coach JC has given you the keys in this book, now it’s your job to unlock and unleash the power.

“Coach JC, is the best at what he does. His passion and knowledge helped me grow into the athlete I am today. Seeing his enthusiasm just made me want to work that much harder! He took an average joe and made him into a pro” My highschool coach always said, “I believe you win with average people doing above average things” And that’s what you do with Coach JC, above average things!

Coach JC’s game plan gives you a step by step process on how to go from developing your mind, to then turning that into action and applying it to the physical. You can’t have one without the other! Alot of my success that I have achieved over the years on the basketball court has been due to a great deal of what Coach JC has taught me and challenged me to accomplish.”

To date I have lost 24 pounds.  I started at 282 and my goal by the time the kids are out of school for the summer is to be at 225 or less and my ultimate goal by the end of the year is to be in the 180-190 range.

Before I started training with Coach JC and the DSD Coaches I just knew that I wanted to play baseball in the MLB and I’d do anything to get there.  After I started training with Coach JC I got more in depth on what exactly I wanted to do while I was playing in the MLB and why I wanted to play so bad. He helped me get out of my comfort zone by having me say “I will do this” or “I will do that” instead of saying “I wish” or “I hope” and to say “I am” instead of “I want to be”.  By saying these few small things each day, it helped my mind think positive things instead of stuff that could hold me back or make me think that I couldn’t do something.  It also helped me be more confident in my talent and realize that with my talent I am a lot better than I thought I was.  I now use that to make myself better every day.

When I train my mind it’s a lot like training my body.  I have to train my mind every day just like I do with my body in the weight room.  It’s not as hard to train your mind as you might think.  After learning a few small things from Coach JC it has made training my mind so much easier.  I’m thankful for what he and the rest of the DSD Coaches have done for me.

Coach JC understands the power of the mind. I have seen him take average players and turn them into MVP’s and All Americans because he made them believe in themselves, get focused, and become the player they should be! He knows how to bring the best out of people and understands how to give them the tools so they can do the same. Whether it’s in sports, job, or just life goals Coach JC can give you the tools to have you stop just dreaming about your goals but actually turn those dreams into reality!

Coach JC as a strength and conditioning coach improved my game on many levels. After being in his program for four years I became a better player. When I came to college I really needed to gain strength and become a better athlete. By training with him I increased my vertical, became quicker and faster, and became much stronger. He not only helped me physically but mentally too. When I doubted myself he would help me push through mental barriers. He helped give me confidence when I needed it and always pushed me to become a better player all around. Because of Jonathan Conneely, “Coach JC” I was able to make it to the next level. Without his training there is no doubt in my mind that I wouldn’t be the player I am today.

Since I came to coach JC he has helped me tremendously with the mental side of my game. I had never put much thought into my own mental preparation, which is the biggest part of being a successful athlete. Coach JC has sat down with me on many occasions and really helped me with some simple tools to train my mind for success when I step on the field. These tools helped me tremendously going into my first professional season as a soccer player. I felt more confident than I have ever felt and that led to a very successful rookie season for me. This offseason we have worked even more on mental preparation and mindset and now I am a few weeks out of preseason and I am even more confident than going into last year. Failure is no longer an option and something that never crosses my mind now and I have Coach JC to thank for helping me train my mind to think that way.

Coach JC Is a one of a kind coach. You will never find someone who pushes you to your complete max, mentally and physically. The reason I started training with Coach JC is because, I knew if I surrounded myself with people who work as hard as they can to make yourself and the people around you better, that I could maximize my potential and get to where I want and need to be!

Prior to training with Coach I never really knew what a workout was. With Coach JC I realized I was in the right place the minute Coach JC started talking! I have never had a coach motivate me at the level he has and will continue to do! It’s almost like he’s anxious to see us reach our goals, that is what I love to see in my trainer!

Since I’ve been training with Coach JC at Dynamic Sports Development I have noticed the attention to detail and technique. I have also noticed alot of strength and endurance in my body. When doing a pull-up or a squat for instance Coach JC is right there motivating you to “get the weight up” and every rep completed you’ll know it by a “YUP”! I’ve noticed a totally different mindset when I walk in to DSD!

I train with Coach JC because it gives me the chance to be at the top of my game. Not only with the physical part but also mental. The mindset training has helped me realize my want and what I have to do to obtain it. Also the positive influence I need to push myself when times get hard.

The physical aspect of it is that my body has transformed and helped sharpened my skills. I’m stronger leaner and faster thanks to the training with Coach JC.

“When I came to spring training this past year, coaches started asking me, “Man look at you, what did you do? You look great!” This gave me tremendous confidence heading into the 2010 season.

After my knee surgery my senior year (high school) things just weren’t right. My body didn’t work like it used to. I lost a lot of strength due to my knee surgery that I didn’t realize I had lost. Strength/mobility in my hips and shoulders were the main keys for me. Coach JC helped me to better achieve that and it was obvious that things were working in a more fluent, efficient manner once I started throwing in spring training. I believe the training program gave me more strength throughout my body making the opportunity for success much greater. I have cut my body fat nearly in half since I started, all while getting stronger year in and year out.

I started training with Coach JC to give myself the opportunity to be in the best physical condition.  Before coming to Coach JC, I was already a hard worker and very dedicated, but I wanted someone to push me to the next level.  Four years later, more experienced, I can’t say that I regret that decision. Thanks Coach JC

Having a successful life, business or athletic career starts with one thing a champion mindset. Having a champion mindset contains a lot of elements, you must one have the confidence in yourself to succeed. The summer of my senior year in high school I came to Coach JC because I wanted to better myself as an athlete so that I could succeed in not only basketball but also football. I wanted to perform at a state champion level. Coach JC did exactly that. While I was training there were things that I didn’t know I could achieve but he instilled in me “To get something you’ve never had, you HAVE to do something you’ve never done.” Also you have to have confidence in yourself to succeed because if you don’t believe it you can’t achieve it. I told him at the beginning of the summer that I wanted to make the 5a state playoffs in football and WIN the 5a State

Championship in basketball. That summer was the hardest 3 months of my life, I was physically pushed to my limit everyday. But everyday I was reminded of what I was working for and knowing my goals motivated me to work harder. So I went into football season with an unshakeable confidence that I had no doubt that my team could make the playoffs, and when the season ended we finished the year 8-3 and we made the playoffs for the first time in 25 years! I then went into basketball season with the supreme confidence, but some of my teammates still weren’t fully on board. Coach JC came and spoke to my team about a champion mindset and we all bought in to bettering ourselves everyday, and it definitely worked and we reached our ultimate goal by hoisting the gold ball as state champion!

The Secret to REAL Athlete Success will reinvent the way that athletes approach each day. Half the battle occurs before we even step in the weight-room, pick up a weight, or hit a max lift. The fans know what day the game is, but what they don’t see is the work that is put in beforehand. The meetings, film sessions, and countless hours put in on the practice field are the most difficult aspects of being an athlete. We live for game day, and the only way to perform at max potential on game day is to GET YOUR MIND RIGHT FIRST! Coach JC’s program has been monumental to my success on the field. The attitude that Coach JC fills the gym with makes me look forward to working out every day. He is the most positive man I know and his constant push in the gym is what helps separate me from my competition.  I’ve grown as an athlete not only physically, but mentally as well because of the way my mind is trained for success now. Because Coach JC has helped me to embrace the daily grind, now I am able to perform at my best on game day.

The mentality of an athlete is the most important thing, specially for me. Being mentally tough on the mound is a must for being a good athlete. Coach JC sat me down, was available whenever I needed him, and helped me focus myself on what I wanted to accomplish. Even training physically helped me get the mindset that I have today. Training under Coach JC strengthened me mentally and physically. Out of all the things that I have done, training my mentality was the most important thing. I was taught to never be satisfied, never quit, and of course never quit on your goals in sports, and in life.

Working with Coach JC has helped me to be successful as a Division 1 and Professional Basketball player. His hard work and dedication helped prepare me so that I could play at the highest level.

Coach JC has helped me to become the  Athlete that I am today and without him I know that I would not be where I am today. He is the right man for the job. I believe that hard work and dedication is the key to success as an athlete and in life and Coach JC has assisted me in both of these areas.

You choose in life to either be good or great and Coach JC has helped me and pushed me to greatness.  Without him I would never be where I am today. I never had alot but I have always been determine to be great and do big things. Coach JC has provided me with an opportunity to be able to do this by pushing me to fight through adversity and obstacles and never allowing me quit.

Coach JC has helped me in preparing for my basketball career and preparing me for the future in life when basketball is over.

Like Coach JC always said, we are only as strong as the weakest link! I never wanted to be the weakest link and Coach JC has set me up to never be the weakest link in basketball or in life.

My name is Aaron Mason and I am attending Fort Scott Community College on a baseball scholarship. I started training with Coach JC when he came to my high school baseball practice. I decided at that point this is what I need to further my career in baseball and make it to the next level. Before I started training with Coach JC it was tough for me to last a long time in a ball game. I was never really in shape. I was always struggling keeping up with the other guys on my team. After I started training with Coach JC, I saw results immediately. I started losing weight and body fat. I became more athletic, more in shape, and could keep up with everyone else. Coach JC has taught me many things but the one thing  that I will always remember the most is to never give up and always give 110%. I remember we were doing tire jumps and I could never jump on two tires stacked up. Coach JC told me to never quit, to never give up. I finally made the jump after bruising my shins over and over again. Having that mindset of never giving up is not only a sports mindset but a lifestyle. Never give up in life. If you want something bad enough, GO GET IT and like Coach says “Remember why you’re here”.

Coach JC always speaks on the importance of diet and exercise but what you immediately realize when you’re around him is that those two elements of success are nothing unless you’re in the proper mindset before training even begins. His constant encouragement and support garner a mental outlook in which you believe the only thing you’re capable of doing is succeeding. While this begins in the gym, a mindset like this becomes infectious and carries over to the playing field, bringing the same confidence and understanding over to your sport as to your preparation for it. I’ve seen it in work in my life in a major way over the past three years thanks to Coach JC and his staff and I wouldn’t be where I am without it.

Hope that helps, JC. Thank you for everything that you have done for me these last three years and all your support and belief in me. It’s helped a tremendous amount and I really appreciate the opportunity to give even a small amount of that back.

“Coach JC’s Gameplan delivers the truth about how the mind is an incredibly powerful weapon. It shows you how mastering your mindset can be the tool to obtaining anything that you want in life. The power of my mind has been the engine that has driven me through all life’s obstacles, both on and off the court. “The Secret To Real Success” is the coaching that will change your life forever.”

“The training program with Coach JC has advanced my game and has put me in a position to be a very rich man!!”

I was looking for someone who understood the complexity of muscle building without adding bulk that interferes with a boxer’s ability to punch and move.  I’m a tall guy at 6’6” and with the daily 5-7 hour workouts it gets tough to keep the muscle on and keep the injuries away – JC introduced nutrition and stretching into my workout routine.

Prior to training with Coach JC I did a lot of running and weight training – movements that aren’t natural during an athlete’s performance. JC was able to incorporate muscle building into movement and the result was a significant performance improvement reflected in my coordination, speed, punching ability and stamina. Since training with Coach JC I Improved coordination, speed, punching ability and stamina. Stronger core/trunk/legs and not just for show – the muscles are built with movement and purpose.

When you train 7 hours a day often the challenge becomes getting excited about what you do day in and day out – just like any professional in every career.  JC always has a positive attitude and it’s very motivating and sometimes being around a motivational person to remind you of your goals is key to unleashing a productive workout.

In preparing for a fight, confidence is KING. You have to know that everything you’ve done leading up to a fight has prepared you for stepping into the ring with your opponent. Beyond that though is a fighters journey to the top which is never a direct route – there are so many twists turns ups and downs and you have to have some serious gumption to ride the wave. You have to set your goals from the start and never lose sight of them – especially when things get tough.

I was never a natural athlete – being tall and lanky my coordination as a kid was terrible and I had to work very hard to be good at sports. This is pretty much what shaped me as an athlete – nothing was ever easy but I knew if I worked really hard I could turn my weaknesses into strengths. It’s that belief in myself that the sky is the limit if I work hard that still propels me.

Wes Nofire – Professional Boxer

Prior to training with coach JC and his team at DSD I was just an average athlete with huge goals and ambitions but no way to accomplish them. I decided to train at DSD after my first trial week, during that week I noticed the mental strength of the athletes who trained there and that as an athlete that was something I desperately needed but did not have. After the last three years at DSD not only have I improved physically in enormous ways but more importantly I have been able to train my mind on what it is to win every day in all of the things I do. The most common problem with athletes is their mind, they do not know how to win and they do not know what it is to have the right mind set about training and playing and the great advantages that come with having the right thoughts and ideas. Training with coach JC and his team has taught me to be a better man in my every day life, I have learned to teach others how to win and how to get their mind right so that they can win as well. My experiences at DSD have changed my life and there is no way I could have been where I am today without coach JC and his team.

Andrew Wyrrick- Collegiate Hockey Athlete

Coach Jonathan Conneely (Coach JC) is one of the greatest coaches I’ve had the privilege to bless my game. He taught the true meaning of hard work, dedication To the body, and how to use every bit of potential one has stored in him/herself. I met Coach JC as my strenght and conditioning coach at Oral Roberts University. In the weight room, we had a couple quotes that stuck.. When coach said “get big son” i would reply with “YOU KNOW!” After every workout. He pushed us pass the limit we thought we could go. He showed me there isn’t a limit, but a mental illusion of self limitation. After meeting coach John and continuing my basketball career after ORU, all the hard work and mental trails endured with Coach JC has pushed me passed the “limit”. Here i am now playing professional basketball and traveling the word (8countries visited). All because of a mind set that keeps me fighting for more.  I give true thanks to my coach and friend Jonatan Connelly

“Coach JC has helped me not only in my physical training but helping me train mentally so i am at my peak before a fight, having an mental winning mindset is just an important physical preparation. Coach JC will push you mentally to help build you up as a complete athlete so you are able to push further then ever ….. I am grateful to have the opportunity to work with him.”

Softball is my passion! And JC has helped make me a better athlete. I started out as a 120 pound, skinny armed player hitting mostly singles. I now weigh 135 pounds, have gained muscle and am hitting lots of doubles and home runs. JC hasn’t only helped my body but also my mind. He has helped me realize that the game is just as mental as it is physical. JC has taught me how to keep a positive mind set and stay relaxed, which has helped during the occasional hitting slump. It is my “circle of excellence”!  I have to focus on what I want to happen. JC always make me feel like a SUPER STAR!  With his help, I know I will achieve my dream of playing college softball.

Coach JC, you and the DSD speed and strength staff have helped me climb to new levels- and those levels represent an outlook on myself as an athlete. You’ve shown me how to get to that next level of speed, power, and mental focus that it takes to compete in division one athletics. A summer at DSD with Coach JC helped me reach a new level of play that I hadn’t seen before and it felt incredible.

The mental focus- the mindset it takes to compete in collegiate football has to be fine tuned and precise so that you always remember why you play the game. And having that dialed in mindset focused on whatever it goal it may be in huge when competing like it is your full time job. Being a student athlete it is important to have a mindset that is driven towards nothing but success and knowing how to over come adversity is just as important. Coach JC places emphasis on why you work and why you put your body through the sweat and the pain when he coaches- and he constantly reminded me to take it personally when it came to working with everything I’ve got training to be faster and more powerful.

Corbin Stall – College Football Athlete

I started training with Coach JC at DSD in order to prepare for the college level. I wanted to be prepared in every way I could, so I could focus on the soccer part of the game when I arrived. I wanted to know that every other aspect — fitness, strength, agility, etc. — was already above average.  Prior to training at DSD, I could not play to my full potential multiple games in a row because my legs would tire due to fatigue and weakness.  Also, I would constantly get knocked off of the ball because of my lack of upper body strength. I became a much more well-rounded individual strength wise.  My legs were toned up and my arms just gained muscle. Because of Coach JC’s program at DSD, when I left for college I was beyond prepared. I can now be confident in everything I am doing because I know I was physically and mentally prepared to take on whatever challenges are set against me.  Mentally, I believe the greatest asset of training was the experience of accomplishment.  Whether it was thinking I couldn’t squat a certain amount of weight or do those last few prowlers, but then finishing whatever it may be, and being expected to do it to my full potential was that feeling that I learned.  Once I experienced this feeling, I would constantly want it over and over again. I learned that that feeling was the one I needed to further even more in order to push myself to the next level.
