  • IN THE BUSINESS WORLD.......MAX OUT WHEN IT MATTERS MOST!!

    Over the previous couple of years, our leadership team had the luxury of training with Dr. Widman and his company, Performance Mountain. Our training sessions focused on developing an elite mindset in the workplace and at home. We then purchased Max Out Mindset for the team as a reinforcement of our training and as a quick reference to the 15 Powers that help us reach our maximum performance each day. Max Out Mindset is a great read, but it is what you do with it afterward that counts. Doc p... more

  • Great for Coach or Athlete

    As a coach, this is a great read regarding the power of the mind, positive coaching and getting the best out of our athletes in life. Widman's stories about people and teams he has worked with make the book an enjoyable read, in addition to the great nuggets we can take back to our gym. Would also be a great book to read as a team and discuss by chapter. Highly recommend!

  • Outstanding

    If you lead teams or are on teams that are committed to high performance, this book is exceptional. It has practical application to the business world, with the sports and real life examples we all can relate to. I would say it's not just teams, however. I found the lessons in this book often spoke directly to me as an individual in my day to day leadership role and in my personal life. I am lucky enough to know Dr. Widman from my work in healthcare. As great as he is in his work, he is a b... more

  • If you teach, coach, or are a leader in any sort, READ THIS!

    Being a coach, I am always looking to improve or find something to give myself and my athlete's the edge on the competition. This book really puts things in perspective. Not only is it an easy read, but it's almost like Doc is speaking to you on a personal level. He connects so much in every day life that can translate to your professional and personal goals. Doubters will say it doesn't work because they haven't bought in, but if you take the time and patience and really listen to what Widman h... more

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Rhonda Revelle: Beyond the Scoreboard: Finding Joy and Trust in the Journey
Q: How do you balance competition with maintaining joy within the team?
By prioritizing team-first mentality, recognizing every member's value, and ensuring that joy and connection drive high performance rather than chasing a scoreboard alone.
Rhonda Revelle: Beyond the Scoreboard: Finding Joy and Trust in the Journey
Q: Coach, define success for me when the last pitch is thrown and the season ends.
Success is built daily through locker room interactions, hugs, and the ongoing relationships that sustain a program; the trophy would be a meaningful but not sole measure of achievement.
Katie Tarman | Leading with Love, Accountability, and Purpose
Q: What is your why in coaching and how does it influence your approach?
My why is a blend of family responsibility and a lifelong passion for coaching; I want to demonstrate to my kids that you can pursue purpose, build strong relationships, and impact others positively through consistent, values-driven leadership.
Katie Tarman | Leading with Love, Accountability, and Purpose
Q: What does maxing out look like for you as a coach today?
Maxing out means players taking full accountability, adopting a player-led culture, and embracing their roles while supporting teammates as a family, even during injuries or setbacks.
Elite Softball Coach Beth Singleton-Winners Win
Q: What does it take to maintain 'green lights' mindset across a long season and through pressure of big-series moments?
It requires shared core values, ongoing dialogue, and a culture where players hold each other accountable, refresh their focus after mistakes, and stay committed to the three goals of no regrets, continuing to play for the jersey, and maxing out when it matters most.
