Those lessons became central to the life he's lived since with unwavering character. From the fields of Iowa to the skies over Iraq, Chad's journey took him from the U.S. Air Force Academy where he earned academic All-American honors and won the Outland Trophy as the nation's top lineman, to flying 45, A-10 combat and humanitarian missions in the first Gulf war. It was only after fulfilling his commitment to serve that Chad entered the NFL. He was 27 at the time and went on to win three Super Bowl championships with the Dallas Cowboys. Today, Chad continues to lead from the front. He's a speaker and he's authored several books including It Takes Commitment, Rules of Engagement, and Forces of Character. He founded Wingmen Ministries and is a principal in Rubicon Representation, where he helps businesses grow through meaningful relationships and synergy. He's also the host of his new podcast, Forces of Character, where he shares stories of moral courage and principled leadership, including two periods in his life as a developing and growing leader that ultimately became crucibles. One of those in the cockpit in combat and another transitioning from the military to the NFL.

Send us a textWhat does it take to reach the elite level of trail running when your body keeps threatening to derail your dreams? Ryan Becker knows this challenge intimately. After fully tearing his Achilles tendon during a college cross-country championship race—and still finishing to earn All-American honors—he's spent years battling chronic tendon issues while quietly becoming one of the most consistent performers on the American trail running circuit.From his unorthodox beginnings as a tennis player who discovered running relatively late, to his current status as a mountain running stalwart based in Telluride, Colorado, Becker shares the twists and turns of his remarkable journey. His candid discussion about nearly undergoing double Achilles surgery before finding an alternative path to recovery offers hope to anyone dealing with persistent injuries. "Health is really a lot more important than hitting a number of run miles in the week," he explains, detailing how cross-training on the bike and skis has allowed him to maintain world-class fitness despite sometimes running zero miles per week.Perhaps most fascinating is Becker's thoughtful perspective on the sponsorship world, where he's remained largely on the outside looking in despite impressive results like winning the Kodiak 50K and numerous podium finishes at prestigious events. His reflections on what brands truly value—and whether consistency might sometimes be less marketable than dramatic breakthroughs—provide valuable insight for athletes navigating today's complex landscape. As he looks ahead to potentially tackling the Leadville 100 and continuing to compete at the highest level, Becker's story reminds us that sometimes the most impressive athletic achievements aren't just the victories, but the relentless pursuit of excellence despite significant obstacles.Whether you're dealing with injuries, questioning your path in endurance sports, or simply appreciate stories of quiet determination, this conversation will leave you with new perspectives on what it means to succeed on your own terms in the mountains. Join us for this deep dive with one of trail running's most respected and resilient competitors.Follow Ryan on IG - @r_beckzFollow James on IG - @jameslaurielloFollow the Steep Stuff Podcast on IG - @steepstuff_podThis episode was brought to you by Ultimate Direction - use code steepstuffpod for 25% off your next order on Ultimatedirection.com

Unlimited situations don't create creativity as much as limitations do." - Bob Thurnhoffer (18:05) “(Training in a Hallway) I can do acceleration, I could do plyometrics. I can get very strong in the weight room. And try to learn how to be truly great at these things that I can do. Because I knew that the things I could do I had to be better than everyone else at” - Bob Thurnhoffer (29:38) “I still work general training a very, very large degree. Probably more than most coaches even. Yeah, I remember Brooke, the pole vault coach at Louisville. She said to me at the start of the year how she really liked how much general strength I do. She's like, yeah, I don't know. Coaches never do that anymore” - Bob Thurnhoffer (41:00) “Interestingly enough, I actually, at New Mexico I almost entirely went to Monday, Tuesday neural, Wednesday, Thursday general, Friday neural. The whole two years I was there for everyone. And it worked great” - Bob Thurnhoffer (47:30) “I almost always finish a neural lift with med ball throws; to restore proprioception after heavy lifting” - Bob Thurnhoffer (49:13) "I think like long jump you gotta, it's all about displacement, smoothness, being a passenger, letting the natural inherent reactivity that you've developed in training and it's inherent in the human body do the jumping for you." - Bob Thurnhoffer (1:02:01) "It's the quick ground contact time with the vertical displacement. That's what I'm looking for." - Bob Thurnhoffer About Bob Thurnhoffer Bob Thurnhoffer is an accomplished track and field coach specializing in jumps, currently serving as the Assistant Coach for Jumps at the University of Louisville.

As the Giants aim to climb back to the top of the division, it's crucial to understand how the Cowboys, Eagles, and Commanders used their draft picks to reload and reshape their rosters.The Eagles added explosiveness and versatility on defense starting with Alabama linebacker Jihaad Campbell, a fast, instinctive playmaker with first-round athleticism. They followed that with safety Andrew Mukuba from Texas, a ballhawk who led the SEC in interceptions but comes with durability questions. Philadelphia kept investing in defense and depth, including standout pass rusher Antwaun Powell-Ryland and versatile linemen like Ty Robinson and Drew Kendall. But with most picks coming on Day 3, the question remains: Did the Eagles add enough impact talent to maintain their edge over the Giants?Over in Washington, the Commanders focused on trench strength and secondary playmakers. Their top pick, Josh Conerly Jr. from Oregon, brings high-level athleticism and All-American pedigree to a depleted offensive line. They also grabbed standout corner Trey Amos from Ole Miss, a ballhawk with press coverage skills but tackling issues. WR Jaylin Lane and LB Kain Medrano highlight Day 3's potential gems — both versatile, both capable of contributing right away on special teams. Could these mid-round pickups bolster a Commanders team that's been rebuilding for years and now threatens to outpace the Giants?Meanwhile, the Cowboys stuck to a familiar script: building up front and going for defensive upside. Tyler Booker, a mauling guard from Alabama, was their top pick and should help stabilize their interior offensive line. Boston College edge rusher Donovan Ezeiruaku brings elite production and pass-rushing technique but needs to add strength. They rounded things out with long, physical CB Shavon Revel Jr., who's recovering from an ACL tear but could become a steal if healthy. With these pieces, Dallas may have just gotten tougher in the trenches and deeper in the secondary — a concern for any Giants fan hoping for a clean sweep of the rivalry in 2025.Throughout the episode, Drew and Rob analyze each draft class with sharp detail and compare how each rival's additions match up against Big Blue's current roster. They look at how the Giants can scheme against these new threats and where Schoen and Daboll may still have an advantage — or a gap to close.If you're a die-hard Giants fan looking to keep tabs on the NFC East arms race, this episode delivers all the info you need to understand how the division landscape is shifting.

That dozen is not just the number of D-III players currently known to have received an invite to an NFL training camp, for sure. How big of a breakfast does it take to feed an NFL offensive lineman? What did new-old Franklin coach Mike Leonard do when he was away from coaching the Grizzlies for the past five years? And why does Illinois College coach Ray DeFrisco keep coming back, year after year? Those are some of the key questions getting asked and answered on this edition of the D3football.com Around the Nation Podcast. Plus ... This edition of the podcast is sponsored by GameStrat: The Most Reliable & Fastest In-Game Video Replay System on The Market. D-III football coaches should click here to learn more. No, seriously, that's a lot of eggs. How did Middlebury offensive lineman Thomas Perry get to where he is today, a workout legend and an All-American who got invited to the Baltimore Ravens minicamp? He also talks about his experiences with Julian Young, a linebacker at Colby who will also be going to the Ravens, plus the workout that helped start him well down the road to where he is today. At Franklin, Mike Leonard wasn't expecting to get his old office back, and that space has some new decorations that we talk about. Hear what kind of camp Leonard will be attending this offseason. And at Illinois College, the days of putting up 96 points in a game might be over, with the standout quarterback and wide receiver and the offensive coordinator all moving on, but the philosophy remains. Hear about that and the new names you'll hear this fall and more from IC coach Ray DeFrisco. Plus we talk about the NESCAC finally getting its chance to play in the playoffs -- even if it isn't until 2026. Will that attract more talented student-athletes to NESCAC schools? That's a question in our mailbag segment, and we also talk about the likelihood of radios in football helmets at the D-III level. Patrick and Greg cover it all in the latest edition of the D3football.com Around the Nation podcast.

Spring ball is in the books and now we're in that long, dark teatime of the offseason when news is something you'd rather just not hear.For this episode, we looked at Ohio State dominating the 2025 NFL Draft. We looked at where the 14 selected former Buckeyes were picked (tying a school record) and wonder why there wasn't a 15th player — a consensus All-American and winner of a major individual award, no less — taken to give the school a share of the all-time draft record. We also walked through the draft spots of a couple of ex-Buckeyes who transferred to other schools and discussed the landing spots for some OSU undrafted free agents.With the spring practices coming to an end, we've probably seen our final black helmet stripe removal until preseason camp starts. We look back at the most recent players to lose their helmet stripes. We also touch on a couple of important transfer portal arrivals, as well as Ohio State's trip to the White House, where the vice president tried to mangle the national championship trophy and the foot of TreVeyon Henderson.Finally, we looked back at the 2025 Ohio State Spring Game. Lots of players stood out during this year's event, especially the running backs. Bo Jackson and C.J. McDonald looked especially good, and the quarterbacks performed well as a group. It may not have seemed like it, but there were some defensive standouts as well. We are in our monthly offseason schedule, but we could have more than one show a month depending on how much news there is. We will return to our weekly schedule in August, as camp opens and we get you ready for the 2025 Ohio State football season.We would love to hear from you, so please reach out with your feedback and questions via email at silverbulletspod@gmail.com.

Send us a textOn this episode of 2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates, Drew and Rob dive deep into the NY Giants UDFA tracker, introducing Giants fans to the newest group of undrafted free agents who will be fighting for a spot on the 2024 roster. They kick things off by highlighting running back Rushawn Baker from Elon University, a hard-nosed runner who finished his college career strong with 100+ yard games down the stretch and impressive pro day numbers. The conversation shifts to the wide receiver additions, starting with Jordan Bly, son of NFL veteran Dre Bly, who impressed scouts with his speed despite limited college production.Drew and Rob then focus on Dalen Cambre, a Louisiana wideout known for his special teams prowess rather than receiving stats, and Beaux Collins, a big-bodied target from Clemson and Notre Dame with a solid frame but issues with drops. Da'Quan Felton, another towering receiver from Virginia Tech, is discussed for his intriguing physical tools despite concerns about separation and top-end speed. They also cover Nate McCollum, a quick and savvy slot receiver from North Carolina, praised for his toughness, route running, and YAC ability.Antwane "Juice" Wells Jr. from Ole Miss is highlighted for his physical style and inside-the-numbers toughness, though injury concerns cloud his evaluation. At tight end, they spotlight Jermaine Terry, a physically dominant prospect from Oregon State who brings size and athleticism but still needs refinement as a blocker.The offensive line additions include RJ Perry from USF, a versatile lineman with starting experience at multiple spots, and Jaison Williams from Youngstown State, a durable tackle who earned All-American honors. On defense, Drew and Rob discuss Trace Ford, a speedy edge rusher from Oklahoma with injury concerns but serious burst, and RJ Delancy III, a cornerback and special teams contributor from Wisconsin.O'Donnell Fortune, a ball-hawking corner from South Carolina and East-West Shrine Bowl MVP, is highlighted for his strong zone instincts despite concerns about tackling and long speed. They break down Makari Paige, a long, athletic safety from Michigan who offers versatility in sub-packages, and Tommy "Turnover Tommy" McCormick from Idaho, a productive and hard-hitting safety with a knack for takeaways.Throughout the show, Drew and Rob bring energy and thorough analysis, making this episode a must-watch for fans eager to know who might be the next hidden gem for the New York Giants. Whether it's discussing Baker's late-season explosion, Collins' potential as an X-receiver, or McCormick's turnover prowess, they leave no stone unturned.

Send us a textIn this full episode of 2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates, Drew takes you through an in-depth breakdown of the entire 2025 NY Giants Draft Class and shares original scouting reports on each new addition. It was a major draft for Big Blue as they made a huge splash early by selecting EDGE Abdul Carter from Penn State with the 3rd overall pick. Carter, a 6'3", 259-pound force of nature, dominated college football last season, earning unanimous All-American honors, Big Ten Player of the Year, and posting an incredible 91.3 PFF grade. Despite some areas needing development and past off-field concerns, his upside could be game-changing for the Giants' defense. Later in the first round, the Giants made a bold move by trading back into the top 25 to draft quarterback Jaxson Dart from Ole Miss. Dart brings solid size, mobility, and a strong arm, giving the Giants a developmental quarterback to groom behind veteran Russell Wilson. In the third round, the Giants focused on the trenches by grabbing defensive tackle Darius Alexander from Toledo, a strong and physical run defender with great potential to be a Day 1 contributor. The fourth-round pick was Arizona State running back Cam Skattebo, a tough, old-school power runner with strong receiving skills, who could become a perfect complement to Tyrone Tracy Jr. in the backfield. In the fifth round, the Giants added depth to the offensive line with Purdue's Marcus Mbow, an aggressive blocker with versatility at guard and tackle. Drew also covers the seventh-round selections, starting with Nebraska tight end Thomas Fidone II, a once highly touted recruit who brings impressive athleticism and major upside if he can stay healthy after overcoming multiple ACL injuries. The final pick was cornerback Korie Black from Oklahoma State, a speedy and physical defender with a strong special teams background and major upside as a late-round steal. Black's elite speed and physicality at the catch point could give the Giants another young piece to develop in the secondary. National draft analysts praised the Giants' class, with most grading it in the A to B+ range, highlighting the franchise's aggressive yet smart moves. Abdul Carter has the potential to be a cornerstone defender alongside Brian Burns and Dexter Lawrence II, while Jaxson Dart gives the Giants a chance to finally stabilize the quarterback position long-term. Join Drew as he dives deep into each player's scouting profile, their potential fits on the roster, and how the Giants have reshaped their future with this exciting 2025 draft class.

Sure, we talk with All Pro and Pro Bowl wide receiver Carl Pickens (one of the top 50 Bengals of all time) about his time in Cincinnati, his incredible collegiate career that made him an All American at Tennessee, and being 1992's NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. You'd have to cover those subjects when talking with Carl. But we also talk with him about being a self-proclaimed mama's boy, loving his Mom's tater tot casserole, and his upcoming 25th wedding anniversary (you HAVE to hear that story). There's a difference between the player and the man, and we're lucky enough to get to know both on this episode of The Approach Shot.

From the basketball courts of North Carolina A&T to the halls of Fuller Seminary, Phil shares his remarkable journey from hoop dreams to a life dedicated to ministry, ethics, and racial healing.We explore his moving documentary “Open Wounds”, inspired by the tragic story of his grandfather—an untold chapter of racial violence that Phil discovered later in life. The film made its way to Sundance and now serves as a centerpiece for our discussion on generational trauma and redemption.We also dive into his powerful book, "The Prophetic Lens: The Camera and Black Moral Agency From MLK to Darnella Frazier", examining how the lens—literal and metaphorical—shapes our understanding of justice, especially in the wake of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and others.Topics include:Phil's transformation from athlete to scholar and poetLife at North Carolina A&TThe making of Open WoundsFaith, ethics, race, and cultureThe power of video and voice in modern civil rightsRunning as a spiritual and physical disciplineThis conversation is thoughtful, raw, and full of hope.

Special guest: Everybody wave hi to Mira. Things Discussed: Spring game: Craig watched the line, wasn't that impressed. Bryce was throwing flat; overthrowing McCulley is a sin. There's a guy across the aisle who's already mad. Seth thinks when the threw that small window past a dropping DE was good; Brian thought he didn't see the drop. Jadyn Davis: Didn't look that polished but much improved. Mikey Keene? Brian thinks he's not a P4 quarterback. Receivers? If you go in the portal you can get a bunch of CJ Charlestons at this point. McCulley had the one contested ball and did the George Costanza. Keeps the expectations for Bryce in context, because Trevor Lawrence had NFL wideouts to throw at as a freshman. Want guys to step up: Marsh, Browder: turn around and context that. Seth: comp is what Nebraska got out of Raiola last year. Need the running game to be the engine of the offense. Get to functional. Hey Sam, how many targets is Jalen Hoffman getting? Are they going to do zone reads for Bryce? OL: Sprague up, Link down—if they're not naming him the starter now maybe he needs to move inside. Sam thinks Frazier can get healthy and get back his agility. Seth thinks they're gonna survive until Babalola is ready, ETA midseason. Break: Sam talks about his colon (I left this out of the podcast version). Defense: Tackles go six deep with big dudes. With them it's more about who they're going against. Linebacker: We are RICH. Seth thinks we have two guys who are better than the top six guys in the Draft, AND Rolder made it through spring without getting hurt. Barham has many uses, Sam thinks he's going to be an All-American. Sullivan can do Barham things. Big Nickel Mason Curtis: think this is a thing. Seth thinks Efobi looked like he was moving them. Dom Nichols: not surprised that a guy who played a lot as a true freshman is getting talk as DE#3. Who's got bend? Sam says Barham is #1. Seth wants to see it from Edokpayi.

Sure, we talk with All Pro and Pro Bowl wide receiver Carl Pickens (one of the top 50 Bengals of all time) about his time in Cincinnati, his incredible collegiate career that made him an All American at Tennessee, and being 1992's NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. You'd have to cover those subjects when talking with Carl. But we also talk with him about being a self-proclaimed mama's boy, loving his Mom's tater tot casserole, and his upcoming 25th wedding anniversary (you HAVE to hear that story). There's a difference between the player and the man, and we're lucky enough to get to know both on this episode of The Approach Shot.
On today's show, Pat, Darius, AJ Hawk, and the boys discuss Jackie Robinson Day in baseball, all he did for the sport and the country as a whole, and how incredible of a player he was. They also chat about tonight's NBA play-in games as the playoffs are officially here, as well as all the different NFL news stories as we inch closer and closer to the NFL draft. Joining the progrum to chat about the NBA playoffs, the surprising coaching firings, and Nico Harrison holding a media only meeting with no recording devices in Dallas is super agent and CEO of Klutch Sports, Rich Paul. Next, NFL Insider for ESPN, former co-host of Good Morning Football, Peter Schrager joins the show to chat about all the different movement with the Draft, what he's hearing about Shedeur Sanders, if he anticipates a bunch of trades, what the Steelers will do with their pick, and much more. Later, Maxwell Award winner, Doak Walker Award Winner, 2x All-American, and future 1st round pick, former Boise State Running Back, Ashton Jeanty joins the show to chat about the draft process, why he decided to stay at Boise State, which RB's he modeled his game after growing up, if he's worked out with any other RB's in the league, what this process has been like, and much more.
