026: The Empty Cup — Presence, Letting Go, and the Mental Game with Coach Jon Zinger
<p>Pitching coach Jon Zinger walks in the room and says, "My cup is empty. What can you teach me?" — and that posture turns out to be the whole philosophy. In this episode, Dallas sits down with the coach who trains some of the best arms in baseball to talk about why calmness is a superpower, how to treat every pitch as a new game, and what it really takes to let go of a bad outcome.<br /></p><p>Jon shares the framework he uses with everyone from 10-year-olds to Cy Young winners: ICE (Intention, Conviction, Execution), the box-breathing drills that calm a room full of kids, and the "act as if you threw it there on purpose" mindset that turns failure into a feedback loop. He opens up about the moment that ended his playing career — a temper tantrum against a concrete wall — and the years of faith, breathwork, and forgiveness it took to let that go.<br /></p><p>This one goes far beyond baseball. It's about regulating your nervous system first, being fully present for whoever's in front of you, and teaching the kind of self-discovery that holds up on the mound, in the driver's seat, and at home as a dad and husband.</p>

025: Identity, Faith, and the Mental Game with JJ Schwarz
<p>In this episode of the CalmWaves Podcast, Dallas Cowan sits down with JJ Schwarz — former University of Florida standout, A's draft pick, and newly minted mental performance coach — just weeks after he graduated with his master's, opened his business (Just a Game Consulting), and welcomed his first baby. <br /><br />JJ shares his journey from being Freshman of the Year and a national champion to facing injury, the grind of pro ball, and the identity crisis that came with no longer being "that guy." The conversation digs into faith, surrender, and why mental performance can't be fully separated from the spiritual life. <br /><br />JJ also unpacks what he sees breaking down in youth sports today — over-identifying parents, social media comparison, and the pressure athletes put on themselves — and how a learner's mindset and an "empty cup" approach can change the game on and off the field.<br /><br />Follow JJ Here: <br /><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/usetheschwarz22/" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/usetheschwarz22/</a><br /><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.justagameconsulting.com/contact?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQPOTM2NjE5NzQzMzkyNDU5AAGnSE9sEt0ROKfg7n_EFwh1HKm_7M7CuzvCbOjfZmgA2Uw_jCW_iPWxJbWccXA_aem_VM5go6xFLQIOFych2ZarHg" target="_blank">https://www.justagameconsulting.com/contact</a></p>
