Athlete Minded with Tyson Hartnett

Tyson Hartnett is a former Division-1 and Division-3 College basketball player at The University of Maine and Rowan University respectively. After his collegiate career he played professionally in Sweden, Argentina and Chile (which took some major balls). Like many athletes, Tyson completely immersed himself the the sport of basketball from a very young age.  Tyson's intense dedication to basketball is the source of both his success and at times his failures throughout his career.  Like many athletes (and myself) Tyson, struggled during time spent away from basketball and at times felt like he was worthless with out the athlete identity.   To prevent athletes from making the same mistakes he made and to help them in their transition to life after sports, he wrote the book "Hoop Dreams Fulfilled." This book is a detailed, first-person account of an athlete's failures and struggles on his way to playing professional basketball. Through in-depth experiences, Tyson Hartnett describes his journey playing basketball starting in 4th grade, through high school, college, and eventually professionally overseas. He profiles his mistakes and failures, and his eventual redemption. This isn't just a book about an athlete achieving his goals. It's about the worst things Tyson experienced so younger athletes can learn from him. It's about what happens when an athlete is so focused on their sport that they don't care about anything else in life, and the repercussions of that mindset. Hoop Dreams Fulfilled touches on deep, intense sports psychology, and the weight and pressure many athletes feel but are afraid to talk about. Tyson recaps his failures in raw detail so others can learn from them. Tyson was kind enough to send me a signed copy of the book, which I read prior to our interview. I was really able to connect to his struggle finding and identity at the end of a sports career. Tyson also hosts a podcast called "Athlete Minded", which has very similar interviews and messages to Heads 'N Tales, so we decided to interview each other!  This episode was posted on  Athlete Minded last week! During our dual podcast interview, Tyson and I talk about girls, the benefits of psychologists, struggles of getting playing time and traveling to foreign lands, just to name a few. This is by far the most I have opened up in an interview, so definitely check it out! Lastly, many times throughout his book, Tyson talks about his love for reading and during the interview he lists some of his favorites, some of which are linked-up below:  "The Charge" by Brendan Burchard  "On the Road" by Jack Kerouac  Where can you find Tyson?

36 : Tyson Hartnett, Former Pro Basketball Player, Author, Finding an Identity Outside Your Sport

Don’t Look at Competition Too Much "There is always going to be competition, there are always people doing than you, and its also easy to be jealous. Competition isn’t a bad thing. Just because your buddy is making millions, and you’re making only $30k, is ok. Trust your path." If Everyone is Doing the Same Thing, Do Something Different Tyson used to worked at a car dealership and it was custom to shake a customers hand and greet them at the door. So every sales person would constantly stay in the same spot, expecting the people to walk in. It would be at that point that they would hope to get the sale. Well, if the best sales person is doing that exact same thing, try and find a different strategy that they aren't doing. So stand in a different spot, maybe go to the back and work your way to the front. “Rookie” entrepreneurs look at the same industry and try to replicate it, Tyson realized that everyone was educating people about sports. So Tyson decided to go a different route. Have a Good Team Around You "Have people push you and bring you back down to reality. Money is a big portion in business, but have those people who can tell you it’s ok to be where you’re at." One of my favorite quotes from this podcast is as follows: "Trust your own journey and trust you’re doing the right thing. Embrace the journey." #Timestamp 00:30: Introduction 06:15: Struggles In Writing The Book 08:45: Biggest Failure 10:30: Habits About Efficiencies 14:45: Resources and Internal Processes 16:30: How Tyson Named His Book 18:20: Don’t Look at Competition Too Much, If Everyone is Doing the Same Thing, Do Something Different, and Have a Good Team Around You 20:00: Old School Word Docs 24:45: Cheez-Its Tyson Hartnett Website: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aradhyamalhotra Twitter: https://twitter.com/tysonhartnett Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tysonhartnett Podcast: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/athlete-minded-stories/id1091313081?mt=2 Podcast Website: http://athleteminded.libsyn.com/podcast Originally Recorded: December 23, 2015 __________ Techie, Millennial Author, WWE Fan, Podcaster. Philadelphia native, Johnathan Grzybowski started his career at 14 mowing lawns. Over 5 businesses later, Johnathan has a deep passion on bettering the lives of millennials and helping them execute their ideas into profitable businesses. It’s never been easier to start a business, but how do you make it successful? Constantly millennials are claiming to be entrepreneurs, but may not truly know what it takes to either become one or last long enough to succeed at being one.
