Écoutez l'essentiel des Amateurs de sports du 9 septembre 2025: Le Québécois Daniel Brière entame sa troisième saison comme directeur général avec les Flyers de Philadelphie. Outre l'arrivée du nouvel entraîneur Rick Tocchet, Brière affirme qu’«il faut faire attention de ne pas être trop confortable parce que Tortorella est parti». Le pari Trevor Zegras: peut-il se relancer? Et surtout, Matvei Michkov peut-il faire encore mieux que sa première année complète dans la LNH? Daniel Brière met un bémol important. Comme bien des amateurs de hockey, Martin Brodeur a été sous le choc d'apprendre le décès de Ken Dryden en fin de semaine. Mais dans son cas, l'influence du célèbre gardien des Canadiens de Montréal était bel et bien réelle. Écoutez l'ex-gardien Martin Brodeur, 53 ans, vice-président directeur des Devils du New Jersey, évoquer son parcours, parler de l’influence de Ken Dryden et de Patrick Roy et de la saison des Devils à venir au micro de Mario Langlois. Brodeur explique également ses attentes pour la formation du New Jersey cette année et de son rôle chez les Devils.La position des gardiens a bien évolué. Aujourd'hui, on protège les gardiens pour qu'ils ne gardent pas trop de matchs? Les gardiens acceptent de moins jouer pour mieux performer. Brodeur a de la difficulté à comprendre cette situation. Quels sont les meilleurs jeunes gardiens ou espoirs de la LNH? On adore les classements, mais surtout celui de notre expert hockey, Stéphane Waite. Le contrat à long terme de Dustin Wolf avec les Flames de Calgary est évoqué, mais selon l’ancien entraîneur des gardiens du tricolore, le meilleur gardien de moins de 24 ans : Yaroslav Askarov, des Sharks de San José: «À 23 ans, il est prêt». Spencer Knight (Blackhawks), est aussi l’un des favoris de Waite, tout comme l’espoir de premier plan du CH Jacob Fowler «Son plafond est parmi l'un des plus hauts de toute la LNH». Frédéric Brunet, défenseur originaire de l’Outaouais, qui se prépare pour le camp des recrues des Bruins de Boston après deux saisons avec Providence dans la Ligue américaine. Le Québécois explique qu’il a eu des rencontres avec des légendes des Bruins comme Patrice Bergeron et Raymond Bourque. Brunet souligne également l’importance de la confiance, de la résilience mentale et de l’appui familial pour tenter de décrocher un poste dans la LNH à 22 ans.Voir https://www.cogecomedia.com/vie-privee pour notre politique de vie privée

Écoutez l'essentiel des Amateurs de sports du 8 septembre 2025: En plus des réactions de ses anciens coéquipiers Serge Savard et Yvan Cournoyer; l’animateur Mario Langlois livre un message poignant au micro des Amateurs de Sports, lui qui vient de perdre son héros d’enfance. Le décès de Ken Dryden a ramené bien des gens à leurs souvenirs d'antan. C’est le cas de Tony Marinaro qui se souvient de ses - jeunes - années 1970 et de sa première rencontre avec Guy Lafleur et Ken Dryden. Parmi ses grands moments du passé, il aborde la fermeture du Forum et la conquête de la coupe Stanley en 1986. Autrement, on analyse la situation de Kirby Dach, de ses blessures récurrentes et son positionnement au centre. Tony se demande aussi : Dach pourrait-il évoluer sur un trio avec Laine et Demidov? Qui de mieux qu'un gardien pour mesurer l'héritage d'un gardien? C'est ce que fait José Théodore à l'endroit de Ken Dryden. Le gardien québécois, qui a lu le livre The Game, jette un éclairage particulier sur la carrière de Ken Dryden. «C'était un vrai gentleman. À chaque fois que je l'ai côtoyé, tu étais captivé par ses points de vue. On parlait de hockey, mais il amène un point de vue. Il donnait confiance à ses joueurs avec sa fameuse position sur son bâton», dit-il. Le Québécois Mathieu Darche, ancien assistant DG à Julien BriseBois avec le Lightning de Tampa Bay, a été nommé directeur général des Islanders de New York en mai dernier, succédant ainsi à Lou Lamoriello. Il explique notamment le rôle du DG dans le repêchage: la qualité la plus importante à ce poste. Darche revient aussi sur la sélection du 1er choix Matthew Schaefer: «Le jeune homme est impressionnant. J'ai rarement vu un jeune de 18 ans aussi mature». Enfin, le patron des Islanders explique l'échange qui a envoyé le défenseur Noah Dobson à Montréal.Voir https://www.cogecomedia.com/vie-privee pour notre politique de vie privée

Figure emblématique des médias sportifs au Québec et au Canada, Pierre Houde célèbre cette année ses 50 ans de carrière. Descripteur sportif, il est devenu au fil des années la voix francophone des Canadiens de Montréal sur RDS depuis plus de 30 ans et le narrateur passionné des Grands Prix de Formule 1, accompagnant des millions de téléspectateurs dans leurs plus grandes émotions sportives. Il a également commenté 14 éditions des Jeux olympiques, illustrant avec brio les exploits d’athlètes d’ici et d’ailleurs. En 2024, le Montréalais de 68 ans a été intronisé au Temple de la renommée du hockey à Toronto et il a reçu le prix commémoratif Foster-Hewitt, une distinction prestigieuse qui souligne sa contribution remarquable au sport canadien. Quel est le meilleur souvenir de description de Pierre Houde? À la suite d'une entente conclue avec Gestev, Hockey Canada et la Fédération internationale de hockey sur glace ont annoncé jeudi que le Centre Vidéotron et la Ville de Québec seront les hôtes du Championnat mondial de hockey féminin 2027 de l'IIHF et du Championnat mondial de hockey junior 2029 de l'IIHF. Pour ce dernier, la Ville de Trois-Rivières agira à titre de ville partenaire et accueillera le groupe B au Colisée Vidéotron. Le commissaire de la LHJMQ, Mario Cecchini, discute notamment des jeunes espoirs Québécois qui pourraient prendre part à ce tournoi et analyse la croissance des inscriptions féminines dans le hockey.

Le professionnel de golf et analyste de golf à RDS, Yohann Benson, disait mardi soir, aux Amateurs de Sports que «l'enseignement au Québec est très désuet». Qu’en pense le meilleur joueur de golf au Québec, Joey Savoie?

Joshua Roy a partagé la saison 2025-2025 entre les Canadiens de Montréal (12 matchs) et le Rocket de Laval. À l'aube de la saison 2025-2026, le Québécois a pris tous les moyens pour être à son meilleur. Le joueur du Canadien de Montréal a perdu environ 15 livres durant l’été grâce à un entraînement intensif avec l'ancien préparateur de Georges St-Pierre, afin d’augmenter sa rapidité et son endurance. Et il raconte à Mario Langlois qu’il a pris sa décision à un moment bien précis. C'est le retour de José Théodore aux Amateurs de sports en compagnie de Mario Langlois et ça commence en force. L'ancien gardien des Canadiens nous propose une foule d'anecdotes en cette première présence de la saison. Théo nous parle de sa rencontre avec la vedette de basketball Charles Barkley à un souper des recrues. L’ancien gardien et sa femme ont aussi rencontré le seul et unique LeBron James! José Théodore a aussi abordé quelques sujets de hockey, bien évidemment. Le chroniqueur des Amateurs de sports à parler de ses attentes envers le meilleur espoir dans les buts pour le tricolore «Jacob Fowler m'a bien impressionné. Il a une mentalité de numéro 1». Le défenseur québécois Marc-Édouard Vlasic, qui a joué 1323 matchs en saison régulière dans la Ligue nationale et 142 en séries, sera honoré par les Lions du Lac St-Louis. Vlasic évoque ses souvenirs avec les Remparts de Québec, la Coupe Memorial de 2006, son entraîneur Guy Boucher, et son désir de poursuivre sa carrière à 38 ans, espérant signer avec une équipe ayant des chances de gagner la Coupe Stanley, malgré la fin de son association avec les Sharks de San José. Le Québécois avoue qu’il a été déçu de la tournure des événements, lui qui était dans cette organisation depuis 2006 : «J'aurais voulu être avisé avant». 1- Joshua Roy 2- José Théodore 3-Vlasic Voir https://www.cogecomedia.com/vie-privee pour notre politique de vie privée

Ian Laperrière, ancien joueur et entraîneur adjoint des Flyers de Philadelphie, a quitté l'organisation après 15 années passées avec celle-ci. Laperrière avait encore un an de contrat avec les Flyers. Il est passé d'entraîneur des Phantoms de Lehigh Valley au titre de conseiller senior des Flyers au mois de mai. Lundi, il a rompu son contrat avec les Flyers pour accepter l'offre des Islanders de New York comme recruteur professionnel dans la formation de Mathieu Darche. Sans surprise, Laperrière confirme qu'il a mal digéré la nouvelle quand on lui a dit qu'il allait céder son poste d'entraîneur à Lehigh Valley. Une décision professionnelle qui va modifier sa relation d'amitié avec le directeur général des Flyers, Daniel Brière?: «....(long silence) Le temps nous le dira». Une chose est sûre, c’est que le Québécois de 51 ans veut retourner derrière un banc d’une équipe de hockey. L'arrivée de nombreux joueurs américains dans la LHJMQ pourrait-elle venir bousculer la place de plusieurs joueurs québécois? On le sait, les joueurs de la LHJMQ peuvent désormais poursuivre leur carrière dans une université américaine. Ce changement entraîne toutefois une hausse du nombre d’Américains (41) dans le circuit, et bouleverse également les cycles traditionnels de recrutement et pourrait réduire les opportunités pour les joueurs québécois. Une révolution qui bouscule l’ordre établi. Écoutez à ce sujet Alexandre Pratt, de La Presse, et le spécialiste de hockey junior de la LHJMQ au Réseau des sports, Stéphane Leroux, en discuter avec Mario Langlois, aux Amateurs de sports. «Il y a une révolution, c'est sûr. Je pense que ça va prendre trois ou quatre ans avant de voir vraiment l'impact de tout ça», note Stéphane Leroux. La LNH imposerait un plafond salarial en séries dès cette année. Cet élément avait été ajouté à la nouvelle convention collective de la ligue qui entrera en vigueur dès septembre 2026. Gary Bettman et ses adjoints ont décidé de devancer cette mesure aux prochaines séries, soit un an plus tôt que prévu. Quelles équipes pourraient être désavantagées par cette modification? Le journaliste à La Presse, Guillaume Lefrançois, confirme que l’édition 2024-25 des Panthers de la Floride, championne de la plus récente Coupe Stanley, aurait été illégale aux yeux de la ligue, avec cette modification. Le journaliste aborde aussi avec Mario Langlois un autre dossier qui fera couler beaucoup d’encre cette année : la loterie Gavin McKenna. Quelles formations de la LNH pourraient vendre des joueurs actifs pour abaisser leur rang au classement général du circuit?Voir https://www.cogecomedia.com/vie-privee pour notre politique de vie privée

Dans une entrevue exclusive aux Amateurs de sports, vendredi soir, David Savard revient sur sa récente retraite après quatre saisons dans l'uniforme des Canadiens de Montréal, abordant l’adaptation à une nouvelle routine loin du hockey professionnel et la perte de la camaraderie du vestiaire. Le Québécois discute également du potentiel de Lane Hutson et de Kaiden Guhle. Qui le remplacera à la ligne bleue du tricolore pour la prochaine saison? Ce vendredi 29 août 2025 marque le premier anniversaire du décès de Johnny Gaudreau et de son frère Matthew dans des circonstances tragiques. Les deux frères ont été heurtés par un chauffard alors qu’ils circulaient à vélo, la veille du mariage de leur sœur Katie. Selon l’analyste des matchs des Blue Jackets de Columbus, Jean-Luc Grand-Pierre, «Johnny Gaudreau a laissé son empreinte et pas seulement dans la LNH». Celui qui a été son premier entraîneur dans la LNH avec les Flames de Calgary, Bob Hartley, revient également sur l’héritage que Johnny Hockey. Il honore sa mémoire avec des souvenirs de ses débuts dans le circuit Bettman, de sa persévérance et du fait qu’il se levait toujours dans les moments cruciaux d’un match. Le Québécois de 64 ans est par ailleurs le nouvel entraîneur-chef du Lokomotiv de Yaroslavl dans la KHL. Selon lui, «Les Québécois ont bonne réputation dans la KHL!» Voir https://www.cogecomedia.com/vie-privee pour notre politique de vie privée

Le camp d'orientation des membres des équipes canadiennes (hommes, femmes, parahockey) en vue des Jeux olympiques de Milan s'est poursuivi, jeudi, à Calgary. Pour l’entraîneur Jon Cooper, les joueurs du Canada vont se souvenir de la présence de Brad Marchand dans le vestiaire. Parlant du principal intéressé, il est fébrile à l'idée de participer à ses premiers Jeux olympiques à 37 ans. On évoque les jeunes talents comme Connor Bedard et Macklin Celebrini. Celebrini avait 3 ans quand Sidney Crosby a inscrit le but vainqueur aux JO de Vancouver, en 2010. Écoutez Jean-François Chaumont, de LNH.com, présent à Calgary, résumer la journée au micro de Louis Jean, aux Amateurs de sports. Les Canadiens de Montréal sont classés comme la cinquième meilleure banque d’espoirs de la LNH, selon The Athletic. Le tricolore est notamment devancé à ce chapitre par les Sharks, les Blackhawks, le Mammoth, les Ducks. Le journaliste de TVA Sports et le journaliste à La Presse, Alexandre Pratt, débattent notamment sur l’ordre des meilleurs espoirs classés. Les cinq premiers Slafkovsky, Demidov, Hutson, Reinbacher et Bolduc : qu’en pensent-ils? Vous faites attention à ce que vous mangez? Les équipes professionnelles de sport accordent beaucoup d'importance à la nutrition. Et c'est Carl Bombardier qui s'acquitte de cette tâche pour le Mammoth de l'Utah de la Ligue nationale de hockey. Le Québécois occupe le rôle de directeur haute performance et nutrition sport chez la formation basée à Salt Lake City. Celui qui a également travaillé pour plusieurs équipes de la NFL explique qu’il gère la logistique alimentaire, conçoit les menus, engage les chefs et il accompagne l’équipe lors des déplacements, avec un budget annuel avoisinant un demi-million de dollars pour la nourriture. La boxeuse québécoise Kim Clavel a rejoint le groupe américain MVP Promotions de Jake Paul il y a quelques jours. Et jeudi, on a su qu'elle allait disputer un combat de championnat du monde le 27 septembre au Québec, à l'Espace St-Denis. Dans les studios des Amateurs de Sports, Kim Clavel, souligne l’importance de la visibilité offerte par MVP pour la boxe féminine, l’évolution du sport, et cite Victoria Mboko comme source d’inspiration.Voir https://www.cogecomedia.com/vie-privee pour notre politique de vie privée

L'entraîneur Jim Montgomery a commencé la saison 2024-2025 avec les Bruins de Boston dans la foulée de son titre d'entraîneur-chef par excellence. Il a néanmoins été congédié en cours de saison... pour se retrouver à la barre des Blues de St. Louis quelques jours plus tard. Presqu’un an plus tard, le Montréalais se confie au micro de Louis Jean, aux Amateurs de sports. Il aborde la pression d’être un entraîneur de la LNH. Montgomery commente également la plus récente transaction entre les Canadiens et les Blues. Il parle notamment du jeu physique de Zachary Bolduc et louange l’arrivée de Logan Mailloux au sein de sa brigade défensive. Le camp d’orientation pour les équipes masculine, féminine et de para hockey du Canada a lieu à Calgary. Et les objectifs sont clairs en vue des prochains Jeux olympiques : la médaille d’or! Dans le cas du hockey masculin, 41 joueurs ont été invités, dont Samuel Montembeault, Nick Suzuki et Noah Dobson. Le journaliste du LNH.com, Jean-François Chaumont, est allé à la rencontre de ces trois joueurs du tricolore. Le capitaine du bleu-blanc-rouge a affirmé qu’il serait même prêt à jouer à l’aile. Sidney Crosby a quant lui été questionné sur la place possible de Macklin Celebrini au sein de l’alignement, tandis que Connor McDavid s’est déjà fait poser la question qui tue : as-tu déjà eu des discussions sur une prolongation de contrat avec les Oilers? Le Montréalais Neil Glasberg est le fondateur, président et chef de la direction de l'agence PBI Sports & Entertainment. Et il est notamment agent... d'entraîneurs. Celui qui a comme principaux clients Mike Sullivan des Rangers, Ryan Warsofsky des Sharks et Lane Lambert du Kraken, explique l’importance du soutien psychologique pour les entraîneurs. Un autre dossier est abordé : qu'est-ce qui explique la vague d'entraîneurs qui quittent vers la KHL? Il n’y a qu’à penser aux Bob Hartley, Guy Boucher, Benoît Groulx, Louis Robitaille, et maintenant Gérard Gallant. Selon Glasberg, «Les équipes de la KHL sont très agressives envers les entraîneurs de la LNH». Prendre une bière - ou deux - après une participation à un sport - partie de golf, tennis, match de hockey - est de moins en moins courant. On note une baisse marquée de la consommation de bière après le sport, notamment dans les ligues de hockey, depuis la décennie 2010-2020 et surtout depuis la fin de la pandémie. Ce changement s’explique par la valorisation de l’image disciplinée de l’athlète, la diminution de 35 à 40 % des bars depuis sept à huit ans, et la réglementation de la tolérance zéro pour les moins de 22 ans depuis 2012, modifiant les habitudes sociales et de récupération des sportifs.

Un emploi de rêve: être dépisteur d’une formation de la LNH. C’est exactement ce que fait Stéphane Pilotte avec les Ducks d’Anaheim. Le dépisteur de 59 ans explique que son parcours a commencé en 1989 avec les Voltigeurs de Drummondville. Le Québécois détaille les critères d’évaluation des joueurs (éthique de travail, patin, habiletés), de la collaboration avec Martin Madden fils (dépisteur chef) et de l’impact du repêchage virtuel dans le futur. Stéphane Pilotte cite des exemples de joueurs repêchés comme Simon Benoit, Alexandre Blais et Ian Laperrière. Enfin, il aborde la question que plusieurs amateurs se posent : Comment ça se passe réellement à une table de repêchage? Dominique Deblois, agent de joueurs dans la LNH depuis près de 20 ans, vient de fonder sa propre agence, Meridian Hockey. Celui qui a notamment comme clients David Savard et Thomas Chabot explique la concurrence féroce du secteur et surtout, la nécessité de dire aux joueurs ce qu’ils doivent entendre et non pas ce qu'ils veulent entendre. Il aborde également le départ de Mavrik Bourque des Stars de Dallas, soulignant que ces changements d’agence sont courants dans le hockey professionnel. Pourquoi Connor McDavid et Kirill Kaprizov n'ont pas encore signé de prolongation de contrat, alors qu’ils sont à un an de l’autonomie? L'ancien entraîneur des gardiens de but des Canadiens de Montréal et spécialiste hockey chez Cogeco, Stéphane Waite, aborde ce dossier chaud qui risque, selon lui, de coûter très cher aux Oilers et au Wild. Une carte de basketball mettant en vedette Kobe Bryant et Michael Jordan - signée par les deux joueurs - a été vendue pour la somme astronomique de 12,9 millions $. Écoutez Dominique Lachance, gérant chez Rémi Card Trader, analyser cette vente record lors d’enchères au micro de Louis Jean, aux Amateurs de sports. Il compare cette transaction à celle de la carte recrue de Wayne Gretzky (PSA 10), vendue autour de 3 millions. Lachance explique également la popularité croissante des cartes de sport, notamment celles de Connor Bedard, Connor McDavid et Lane Hutson, dont une carte s’est vendue à 12 600 $.Voir https://www.cogecomedia.com/vie-privee pour notre politique de vie privée

Sales activity is the lifeblood of your career. But for too many salespeople, it's the very thing holding them back. You're generating a ton of activity, your calendar is packed, your inbox is overflowing, and by the end of the day, you're drained.  But your numbers aren't moving. You're not gaining ground; you're just driving in circles. As Ron Karr, author of Velocity Mindset, says, the difference between amateurs and top performers isn't how fast they move, but whether they're moving with a clear, defined direction. The problem isn't laziness. It's that you're mistaking motion for momentum. And that's why you feel stuck. The Problem: Sales Activity Without Purpose Most salespeople today are trapped in a cycle of sales activity that leads nowhere. Instead of pursuing long-term, meaningful outcomes, they chase short-term wins: a quick meeting booked, a proposal sent, a Request for Proposal (RFP) answered. But those wins don't move the needle. They pull you onto a field controlled by competitors. You're responding to bids, filling out forms, and competing on price. That's not selling—it's order-taking. And order-taking will keep you broke no matter how much activity you pile on. The Real Cost of “Busyness” Busyness isn't just about wasted time. It's about emotional avoidance. The reason you bury yourself in low-value sales activity is that it feels safe. These tasks create the illusion of productivity while shielding you from what you're really afraid of: rejection. Instead of calling the prospect who's gone cold, you refresh your CRM. Rather then reaching out to the big account you've been circling, you tidy your inbox. Instead of pushing into a tough conversation, you polish the proposal one more time. You're not lazy. You're working hard. But effort without purpose is like a car spinning its wheels in the mud. Lots of noise, lots of energy, but no forward motion.  The Solution: High-Leverage Sales Activity Not all sales activity is created equal. Some actions produce a 10x return. Others are pure waste. Top performers know the difference—and ruthlessly prioritize the former. Here are three high-leverage sales activities that separate pros from amateurs: Proactive Prospecting Your sales pipeline is the fuel tank for your career. If it's empty, you're not going anywhere. Prospecting isn't a side task you do when you have extra time. It is the job. That means making outbound calls, sending personalized emails, and using LinkedIn to connect with people who aren't already in your orbit. Stop waiting for the phone to ring. Go make it ring. Meaningful Conversations Once you get a prospect's attention, the goal isn't to rattle off product features. It's to have a value-driven conversation. That means asking discovery questions that uncover their goals, their pain points, and their motivations. It means showing up as an expert and positioning yourself as a trusted advisor, not another vendor. When you consistently create conversations that center around the customer's needs, you become indispensable. Prospects should feel like they'd be foolish not to work with you. The Power of “No” Not every opportunity deserves your time. Amateurs say yes to every opportunity and demo request. Top performers say no. Qualify hard; disqualify fast. The hours you spend chasing a dead deal are hours you could invest in finding a stronger one. Being busy with the wrong opportunities makes you broke. Saying no to the wrong leads frees you up to say yes to the right ones. Your Action Plan To Go From “Just Busy” To Productive Breaking the cycle of wasted sales activity requires intention and discipline. Here's how to start: Step 1: The Activity Audit For one week, track everything you do—calls, emails, meetings, busywork. At the end of the week, review your log and ask: Which of these activities directly moved a deal forward or created new pipeline? Most of what you thought was productive won't make the cu...

L'ancien défenseur des Canadiens de Montréal Patrice Brisebois participera à l'événement organisé par Patrik Laine et son épouse Jordan, Défilé From Us to You, qui aura lieu à Montréal, dans le cadre du M.A.D Fest. Écoutez Patrice Brisebois parler de cet événement, de sa relation avec Laine et de son passé avec le Tricolore au micro de Jean-François Baril, aux Amateurs de sports. Le Québécois de 54 ans revient aussi sur ses difficultés en tant que joueur, du temps où les amateurs des Canadiens l'avaient pris en grippe: «Je faisais le plus beau métier du monde, je jouais pour la plus belle organisation, mais je n'avais aucun plaisir». Le journaliste et la voix officielle des Canadiens de Montréal, Michel Lacroix, discute de son impressionnante carrière dans le monde du sport et des communications. Il raconte que son aventure a débuté officiellement lors des Jeux olympiques de Montréal en 1976. Mais, il précise que sa profession s'est développée sur les deux fronts tout au long de sa vie professionnelle. Michel aborde aussi son passage à «Bonsoir les sportifs» à CKAC, sa passion pour le golf et surtout, l'art de gérer les ovations du public. Les Canadiens de Montréal viennent au cinquième rang des organisations les mieux notées selon les amateurs à la suite d'un immense un sondage de The Athletic impliquant 13 000 partisans des 32 équipes de la Ligue nationale de hockey. Sauf surprise, les Panthers de la Floride sont premiers, devant les Stars, les Hurricanes et le Lightning. Le journaliste au site LNH.com, Jean-François Chaumont, affirme que ce rang s’explique notamment par le «travail méthodique de Kent Hughes et de Jeff Gorton. Ils ont un plan et il ne vont pas en dévier, même s'ils ont atteint les séries l'an dernier».Voir https://www.cogecomedia.com/vie-privee pour notre politique de vie privée

L'attaquant des Canadiens de Montréal, Cole Caufield, a été invité au camp d'orientation de l'équipe américaine, qui se tiendra la semaine prochaine, en prévision des Jeux olympiques d’hiver de Milan-Cortina 2026. Le défenseur du tricolore, Lane Hutson, ne fait toutefois pas partie de cette liste de joueurs invités. Écoutez Simon-Olivier Lorange, de La Presse, et Arpon Basu, de The Athletic, discuter de la profondeur de l’équipe américaine qui pourrait bien rendre la tâche difficile pour le numéro 13 du bleu-blanc-rouge. Selon nos panélistes, «il serait extrêmement étonnant de voir Caufield aux J.O.». Crouler sous la pression - ou «choker», ça peut arriver à tout le monde: à des étudiants devant un examen ou à des athlètes professionnels. La gestion du stress varie selon la personnalité, l’hérédité et l’acquis comme l’explique le professeur au département des sciences de l'Éducation à l’Université du Québec à Chicoutimi, Vincent Huard Pelletier, en discuter au micro de Meeker Guerrier, aux Amateurs de sports. Son étude conclut notamment l’importance croissante de la santé mentale dans le sport, mais aussi dans d’autres domaines professionnels, et valorise l’expérience sportive pour le développement personnel. Avec environ six semaines à faire au calendrier régulier du Baseball majeur, les Blue Jays de Toronto ont toujours 5 matchs de priorité au classement de la section est de la Ligue américaine avec les matchs de mardi soir. Et on sent une frénésie chez les amateurs de baseball partout au Canada. Soulagement chez les partisans des Jays, la blessure de Vladimir Guerrero junior semble être moins grave que prévu. Écoutez le dépisteur au Canada pour les Blue Jays de Toronto, Jasmin Roy. Une réalité touche des milliers d’athlètes féminines : la gestion d’une grossesse dans le monde du sport. La vedette de la WWE, Naomi, a d’ailleurs annoncé publiquement être enceinte, au Monday Night Raw cette semaine. Comment ces sportives réussissent-elles à performer et surtout, comment arrivent-elles à retrouver le sommet de la gloire professionnelle en étant mère? La chroniqueuse Geneviève Tardif explique qu’il est plus qu’important de parler de cette réalité en 2025. Sports Canada ne considère maintenant plus la grossesse comme une blessure….seulement depuis l'an dernier.Voir https://www.cogecomedia.com/vie-privee pour notre politique de vie privée

What's up everyone, today we have the pleasure of sitting down with Kevin White, Head of GTM Strategy at Common Room.

After years leading teams at Segment, Retool and Common Room, he walked away from politics and board decks to create a “super IC” role focused on experiments, product evangelism, and hands‑on growth. He applies that same mindset to go‑to‑market: strip out the bloat, ditch templated outreach, and use real buyer behavior to build small, personal campaigns. He treats AI as an amplifier for skilled marketers, using it to speed research and sharpen ideas, while relying on human judgment to make the output work. Even visibility, once draining for him, became a muscle he trained through repetition. Kevin's story is a guide for marketers who want less political fluff, more impact, and roles built around the work they actually love to do.About KevinKevin White is a seasoned go-to-market leader with over 20 years of experience driving growth for high-growth SaaS companies. He's held senior roles at Gigya, SingleStore, HackerOne, and Twilio Segment, where he built demand generation engines and scaled marketing operations during critical growth stages.Most recently, Kevin led marketing at Retool and advanced through multiple leadership roles at Common Room, from Head of Demand Generation to Head of Marketing, and now Head of GTM Strategy. He has also advised innovative startups like Ashby, Gretel.ai, and Deepnote, helping them refine their go-to-market strategies and accelerate adoption.How to Design a Super IC Role for Senior MarketersClimbing the marketing ladder feels like progress until you realize the work at the top is entirely different. Kevin spent years running teams at Retool and Common Room. He managed a dozen people, dealt with SDR team politics, prepared board updates, and handled internal marketing. Those tasks ate up his time and dulled his energy for the work that made him great in the first place. “My day-to-day was full of things I didn't enjoy. One-on-ones, internal marketing, SDR team drama, board updates. None of it felt like what I wanted to be doing,” he said.Kevin thrived in the early-stage chaos. He loved being the first marketer, building programs from scratch, experimenting with growth channels, and connecting directly with customers. Those environments let him create instead of coordinate. He could see the direct impact of his work and feel close to the product. As companies grew, that hands-on work disappeared. He became a coach, a manager, and a political operator. For someone who values doing over directing, that was a poor fit.He worked with Common Room's CEO to design a role that put him back in his zone. Now, as Head of GTM Strategy, Kevin functions as a “super IC.” He runs high-leverage growth experiments, drives product evangelism, and collaborates with a few freelancers instead of managing a team. That way he can focus on the work that delivers impact while avoiding the politics and administrative load that drained him. It is a custom role built around his strengths, and it brought back his enthusiasm for the job.Kevin's thinking extends beyond his role. He shared how Common Room rethought sales development. They hired an excellent manager who knows how to attract and retain elite talent. Then they paid those top performers well above the market rate. “Harry is one of our SDRs,” Kevin explained. “We pay him a good amount because he produces outsized results. That playbook works.” In Kevin's view, companies should build alternative tracks for individual contributors and reward them based on their production, not their willingness to manage people.Key takeaway: Create roles that match strengths instead of forcing people up a management ladder. Build paths for senior individual contributors who can deliver massive value without leading teams. Pay top performers according to their impact, not their title. If you manage teams, audit which roles could benefit from this model and where high-performers need more autonomy. If you are an individual contributor, consider what a custom role would look like that keeps you close to the work you do best.Building Confidence With Public Visibility as an Introverted LeaderPublic visibility exhausts many introverted leaders. Kevin describes finishing a full day at a conference feeling drained, running only on caffeine to get through the next one. Sharing his voice on LinkedIn or recording videos once felt unbearable. Even now, he admits to taking multiple tries before posting anything. Despite that discomfort, he continues to do it because the repetition has transformed the work from a chore into a habit.“I was mortified at myself when I first started recording things,” Kevin said. “But I kept hearing people say how helpful it was, and that positive reinforcement made it easier.”Kevin builds on small steps instead of waiting for confidence to appear. He creates a cycle where he pushes himself into uncomfortable situations, collects positive feedback, and uses that reinforcement to do it again. Over time, the acts that once caused him anxiety, like posting thought pieces or speaking publicly, have become regular parts of his work.He views visibility as a skill that can be practiced. Instead of thinking in terms of strengths or weaknesses, he treats every new action as training. This perspective removes the pressure to “perform” and reframes the process as building a muscle. That makes posting online, speaking at events, and showing up in public spaces a set of learnable behaviors rather than personal traits.You can use his approach:Start with small, low-stakes actions like sharing short ideas on LinkedIn.Progress to more challenging mediums such as podcasts or short recorded demos.Save positive responses to use as reminders when your motivation dips.Treat every effort as practice, which builds resilience and lowers fear over time.Key takeaway: Confidence grows through repetition. Build it by starting with small visibility actions, collecting reinforcement, and gradually increasing the difficulty of your public presence. That way you can turn something that drains you into a manageable, even natural, part of your role.Using Empathy and Demos to Build Authentic GTM StrategiesKevin remembers the grind of stitching together spreadsheets, Zaps, and Salesforce automat...

Foundations of Amateur Radio Recently I came across a series of strident posts about the injustice associated with a non-amateur service using the 70cm band. Complete with links to discussions, spectrum plots, angst and even incoherent outrage, all related to the notion that whomever "allowed" this user to transmit on this band was clearly incompetent. Except, that this is probably not the case, or the full story. So, what's going on and why are people incensed? This all started at least six years ago. Since then AST SpaceMobile has deployed seven low Earth orbit satellites and used the 70cm band to communicate with them. Although in the trial phase, there's plans for an additional 243 satellites, and there's at least one other company playing in the same space, Atmos Space Cargo. The outcry from amateurs is around the commercial use of "their" 70cm amateur band. It's an emotional statement, but what is the reality? Before I dig in, let's set some terms. Radio frequencies are globally coordinated because electromagnetism doesn't care about sovereign borders. This coordination is conducted at the United Nations by a body called the ITU, the International Telecommunications Union. Within that body, amateur radio gets a seat at the table from an organisation called the IARU, the International Amateur Radio Union. For the purposes of the ITU, the world is divided into three, Region 1, or essentially Europe, Russia and Africa, Region 2, the Americas and Greenland, and Region 3, the rest of the world. There's more to it, for example, Antarctica is split across all three, but for the moment, that really doesn't matter. Of interest is that the band plan, the agreements that outline which frequencies are set aside for what service, might be defined differently across each of those three regions. To add complexity, each country can be granted exceptions. I don't know the exact mechanics of how this is achieved, but I can guarantee that there's lots of haggling and foot stomping, diplomatically of course. If you're curious how I come to that observation, just look at the absurd list of exceptions associated with each band plan allocation. Further complexity is added by the fact that not all allocations occupy the same frequency range. For example, in Region 1, the 2m band for Amateurs exists between 144 and 146 MHz, in Region 2 and 3 it's between 144 and 148 MHz. Within an allocation there is the concept of shared and exclusive priorities. These determine who "wins" if two stations with a different service are transmitting on the same frequency. Essentially, a secondary user may not interfere with a primary user and a tertiary user may not interfere with either a secondary or a primary user and so on. A primary user can pretty much do what they want, as long as they stay within the allocation and don't interfere with other primary users. As a result, the order in which services are listed, matters. An exclusive allocation doesn't have to be shared at all. Between regions these service priorities might not be the same. For example, in Region 1 between 430 and 432 MHz is allocated to Amateurs and Radio Location, but in Region 2 and 3 it's between Radio Location and Amateurs. So an amateur using that frequency whilst in Region 1 would be a primary user, but in Region 2 or 3 they wouldn't. As an added wrinkle, for example in Australia, that slice is "primarily for the purposes of defence and national security", even though Radio Location is the primary service and Amateurs the secondary one. As a bonus, amateurs in Australia have access to 420.8 to 421.2 MHz as a secondary service, even though the ITU designates this as Fixed, then Mobile, except Aeronautical Mobile, and then Radio Location. Although amateurs are a secondary service, they come after the Department of Defence who are the primary users for those frequencies in Australia. Between 420 and 430 MHz, and from 440 to 450 MHz in several countries, Australia included, the Amateur Service is explicitly designated as a secondary service even though the band plan doesn't actually show this. If you're confused, you're in good company, since this tapestry of regulation isn't as straightforward as the "70cm band is an amateur band", in fact, I'd go so far as to say that it's not an amateur band at all, except perhaps in Region 1 between 430 and 440 MHz where Amateur is designated as the non-exclusive primary service. Back to the blow up. AST was at one time authorised to use 430 to 440 MHz for trial purposes by a regulator in Region 2, the FCC, the United States Federal Communications Commission. I suspect that at the time, the Blue Walker 1 nano satellite was experimental and the approval made sense. You can argue that whomever initially allowed this made a mistake, but, reality is whatever the regulator says it is, unless someone at the ITU objects. It appears that the FCC has since been attempting to make AST comply, instead with billions of dollars at stake, AST continues to apply for more spectrum, which they apparently originally filed with the ITU through the Papua New Guinea administration. It's unclear if the FCC has since capitulated. There is evidence that the new commercial AST satellites are transmitting outside of their authorisation, euphemistically described as "IARU Uncoordinated". Ask yourself, how is it possible, or even allowable, that a regulator permits use of radio spectrum outside its borders and what penalties and remedies exist? The ground stations using these disputed frequencies are all outside the USA. One of the five ground stations is in my own city, Perth in Western Australia. I haven't noticed any discussion on this topic within my local community, even though this has been brewing for years. It does raise a bigger question. How is the band plan enforced? I mean, the 40m band is pretty much unusable in VK6 between sunset and midnight thanks to the fishing fleet of our northern neighbours, it's been like that for as long as I've been an amateur and I expect no change during my lifetime. How is this satellite fleet operating on the 70cm band any different? That said, I cannot help but wonder, will the originally authorised 50 kHz signal every eight seconds, not for phone calls to space, and only for 24 hours after launch or in the unlikely event of an emergency, for Telemetry, Tracking and Command, actually cause issues, or will it be an opportunity for radio amateurs to learn how to deal with interference? Speaking of interference and considering the allocated services, who is interfering with whom here and what priorities and remedies exist? Recently I talked about promotion, and the lack thereof, across our community. This is an example of promotion, and despite the uproar this week, a very poor example at that. Searching for "AST SpaceMobile", the oldest post I could find was on the German AMSAT, or Amateur Satellite forums back in September 2022 by Peter DB2OS who has been very active on this matter. His original post was in English, but went on to discuss the issue in German. I only found it after specifically looking for the names of the organisation involved. Peter's posts supplied links to many of the documents I consulted. Despite having links to specific pages, I found no search results for "AST SpaceMobile" on the websites for the regulators in the US, UK, Germany or Australia, and none on the ARRL, RSGB or DARC. The WIA produced two glowing news reports around the beginning of 2023 about this wonderful new mobile phone service. No mention of the 70cm band. The only active discussions appear to be the German and UK AMSAT forums, that and all the glowing investor posts. In other words. This is the equivalent of publishing the information at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri, 50 years before the event and hoping for a good outcome. As a potential path forward, in January 2023 the German regulator forced AST to shut off 70cm operations whilst it was within radio visibility of Germany. I don't know if that's still in effect, or how and if it's being enforced. It appears that AST has been lobbying for the use of this spectrum for a long time, not just the 340 page submission made last month. For example, NASA made its first response to this satellite constellation in October 2020. It appears that the WIA responded four years later, but I have yet to see it, and this week the Bulgarian Federation of Radio Amateurs, the ARRL, and RSGB added theirs. The IARU issued a statement this week too. The fact that we're still arguing about it over half a decade later is a good indication that how we're responding as a global community is clearly ineffectual. Perhaps that is what we should be arguing stridently about. So, where do you stand on this? Should something be done about this, and if-so, what, and more importantly, how? I'm Onno VK6FLAB

La journaliste Véronique Mortaigne publie Brésils, Éloge de la déraison, une traversée ébouriffante d'un pays et d'un peuple, habile à s'extraire du chaos. (Rediffusion) « Qu'est-ce que le Brésil ? ». Une amie me répond, sans hésitation : « La plage ». Elle n'a pas tort. Jamais ennuyeuse, la plage au Brésil est un lieu unique. Neuf mille deux cents kilomètres de rivages, du sable blanc, ocre, doré, des baies, des îles, des caps, des lagunes, des estuaires, des falaises, des mangroves, de la boue, des récifs, des piscines naturelles. Le Brésil a été béni des dieux. De plein de dieux, noirs, blonds, catholiques, le tout fusionné avec les orishas, les divinités vaudoues, et agrémenté de la cosmologie indigène. La multitude de saints, d'anges, d'entités cosmiques, nourrit un mysticisme ardent. Mais qu'est-ce qu'être Brésilien ?

La journaliste Véronique Mortaigne publie Brésils, Éloge de la déraison, une traversée ébouriffante d'un pays et d'un peuple, habile à s'extraire du chaos. (Rediffusion) « Qu'est-ce que le Brésil ? ». Une amie me répond, sans hésitation : « La plage ». Elle n'a pas tort. Jamais ennuyeuse, la plage au Brésil est un lieu unique. Neuf mille deux cents kilomètres de rivages, du sable blanc, ocre, doré, des baies, des îles, des caps, des lagunes, des estuaires, des falaises, des mangroves, de la boue, des récifs, des piscines naturelles. Le Brésil a été béni des dieux. De plein de dieux, noirs, blonds, catholiques, le tout fusionné avec les orishas, les divinités vaudoues, et agrémenté de la cosmologie indigène. La multitude de saints, d'anges, d'entités cosmiques, nourrit un mysticisme ardent. Mais qu'est-ce qu'être Brésilien ? Un mélange de charme, de sensualité, de pouvoir d'attraction, de capacité à créer des situations bordéliques et enchantées.

John Niven is a Scottish author and screenwriter known for his darkly comic, satirical novels. Born in Ayrshire in 1966, he studied English Literature at the University of Glasgow before spending a decade in the music industry. This experience inspired his breakout novel, Kill Your Friends (2008), a biting satire of the late-1990s music business. The book earned widespread acclaim for its brutal honesty and sharp wit, and was later adapted into a film for which Niven co-wrote the screenplay. His other works include The Amateurs, The Second Coming, Straight White Male, and O Brother, showcasing his distinctive blend of humour, cynicism, and moral insight. In addition to novels, Niven has written for film and journalism, often exploring themes of fame, failure, and modern hypocrisy. Known for his outspoken political views, Niven remains a provocative and influential voice in contemporary British literature and culture.

Part 1 It's Not Summer Without You by Jenny Han Summary"It's Not Summer Without You" is the second book in Jenny Han's "Summer" series, which follows the life of Isabel “Belly” Conklin as she navigates her complicated feelings for her longtime crush, Jeremiah Fisher, and his brother, Conrad.The story picks up after the events of the first book. Belly has spent a summer in the past at the beach house belonging to the Fishers, but this time it's different. The summer is overshadowed by the sudden passing of Belly's mother, as well as the deepening emotional turmoil between Belly, Jeremiah, and Conrad. At the beginning of the book, Belly feels lost without her mother and struggles with her grief. She has been harboring feelings for Conrad, who has pushed her away, leaving her heartbroken. As the narrative progresses, we see Belly trying to deal with her conflicted emotions and her relationships with both brothers. Jeremiah, who represents friendship and comfort, tends to be more openly affectionate and supportive, while Conrad embodies a more complicated, brooding persona that causes Belly more pain due to his emotional distance. The setting of the beach house serves as a backdrop for Belly's journey of self-discovery and healing. The annual summer traditions are disrupted by the struggles the characters face, but they also provide moments of nostalgia and bittersweet memories as Belly reflects on her childhood and her relationships.As the story unfolds, Belly learns important lessons about love, loss, and the importance of moving forward in life. The book examines themes of family, friendship, and growing up, while Belly ultimately has to choose between the safety and friendship that Jeremiah offers and the intense but complicated love she shares with Conrad.

The Busy Beaver Challenge, an open online collaboration, started in 2022 to finally solve a major problem in theoretical computer science. Over time, the online community grew to include more than 20 contributors from around the world, most of them without traditional academic credentials. In July 2024, the group announced that they finally solved the puzzle, bringing a conclusion to over 40 years of effort. On this week's episode of The Quanta Podcast, computer science staff writer Ben Brubaker explains the tantalizing Busy Beaver puzzle, which he covered in depth last year, in “With Fifth Busy Beaver, Researchers Approach Computation's Limits.” Each week on The Quanta Podcast, Quanta Magazine editor in chief Samir Patel speaks with the minds behind the award-winning publication to navigate through some of the most important and mind-expanding questions in science and math.

In this episode of Building Better Developers with AI, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche take a deep dive into one of the most uncomfortable—but—essential parts of being a developer: developer feedback. Using AI tools like ChatGPT, they revisit their past topics and uncover new insights on how feedback, communication, and mindset shape stronger, more collaborative developers. AI's Perspective: Developer Feedback as a Growth Tool Rob kicks off the episode by sharing how they asked ChatGPT to structure a show around developer feedback. The AI delivered a simple but powerful reminder: Feedback isn't criticism. It's a tool for growth. Key Takeaway: “Professionals seek feedback. Amateurs avoid it.” By reframing feedback as data rather than a personal critique, developers can use it to refine their skills, just as they would when debugging their code. Rob emphasizes that real-time, in-person code reviews often reveal more than written comments. They provide opportunities for knowledge sharing, cross-training, and discovering undocumented project details. Creating a Safe Space for Developer Feedback Michael reminds listeners that developer feedback works best in a safe and collaborative environment. Taking a breath before reacting allows you to absorb feedback objectively. Pro Tip: Treat feedback as input to improve — not a personal attack. However, Michael cautions against over-relying on constant feedback. While it's essential for growth, too much can erode confidence. Effective developers seek feedback purposefully and filter out noise. Code Reviews: The Most Overlooked Feedback Tool Both hosts stress the value of regular code reviews as an essential form of developer feedback: They catch errors early Enforce coding standards Reduce duplication and dead code Provide cross-training for the team Michael's Advice: “If your code changes are too big to review efficiently, your process needs adjusting.” Regular, focused code reviews keep teams aligned, enhance code quality, and enable developers to learn from one another. Beyond Code: Communicating with Non-Developers Rob reminds us that actual growth comes not just from technical feedback but from communicating effectively with non-developers. Whether it's labeling input fields clearly or translating technical issues for business stakeholders, every interaction shapes project success. Developer Feedback in Action: Understanding your users' language makes your product better — and prevents avoidable frustration. How to Process Developer Feedback Without Ego The hardest part of handling developer feedback? Managing your emotions. Rob and Michael outline how to stay grounded: Don't react — review, digest, reflect Ask clarifying questions without defensiveness Look for patterns across multiple feedback sources By approaching feedback with curiosity rather than ego, developers grow faster and foster stronger teams. Final Thoughts: Winning Through Listening Rob closes with timeless advice: “The person who talks the least in a meeting often wins.” Listening more — to peers, customers, and users — leads to better feedback, fewer misunderstandings, and stronger products. Developer Feedback may be uncomfortable, but it remains one of the fastest, most effective ways to grow as a developer. Combined with AI tools, code reviews, and intentional communication, feedback turns everyday frustrations into long-term success.

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the one-hundredth-and-fifth episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by COL Ricky Taylor, the Commander of Ops Group (COG). Today's guests are four seasoned infantry task force seniors. LTC Andy Smith is the TF Senior for Task Force 2 (IN BN) with ten rotations as an Observer – Coach – Trainer and six rotations as a rotational training unit. LTC Matt Bandi is the TF Senior for Task Force 3 (IN BN) with nine rotations as an OCT and four rotations as RTU. LTC(P) Timothy Price is the TF Senior for Brigade Command & Control (BDE HQ) with twenty-one rotations as an OCT and seven rotations as RTU. And LTC Chuck Wall is the TF Senior for Task Force 1 (IN BN) with nine rotations as an OCT and five rotations as RTU. This episode of The Crucible centers on the raw, uncompromising realities of infantry warfighting in the LSCO environment, drawing directly from firsthand observations at JRTC. The discussion highlights how success on the modern battlefield is built on a foundation of small-unit fundamentals—movement, marksmanship, reporting, and rehearsals. Leaders emphasize that doctrinal clarity and simplicity at the squad and platoon level remain decisive, especially under pressure from drone surveillance, EW interference, and contested logistics. Units that survive and win are those that maintain discipline in their fieldcraft: they camouflage well, rehearse everything, and operate with a combat mindset that anticipates disruption rather than being surprised by it.   The conversation also underscores the importance of deliberate leadership placement, effective use of terrain, and clarity in commander's intent. Fieldcraft isn't just about staying hidden—it's about moving smart, planning for degraded comms, and sustaining yourself under fire. Leaders describe how critical it is for junior NCOs and officers to own their piece of the battlefield, from shaping local security zones to enforcing LOGSTAT discipline. The episode drives home that modernization won't compensate for a lack of tactical proficiency—and that high-tech tools like sUAS, ATAK, or digital fires architecture only matter if teams have mastered the analog skills to shoot, maneuver, communicate, and survive under stress.   Remember, Professionals train for the fight—they rehearse under pressure, refine fundamentals, and prepare for the worst-case scenario. Amateurs train until they get it right; professionals train until they can't get it wrong. In LSCO, that difference means survival.   Part of S03 “Lightfighter Lessons” series.   For additional information and insights from this episode, please check-out our Instagram page @the_jrtc_crucible_podcast.   Be sure to follow us on social media to keep up with the latest warfighting TTPs learned through the crucible that is the Joint Readiness Training Center.   Follow us by going to: https://linktr.ee/jrtc and then selecting your preferred podcast format.   Again, we'd like to thank our guests for participating.

Boire du vin comme un pro : les 5 erreurs que je vois tout le temps (même chez les amateurs passionnés) J'observe souvent les mêmes erreurs. Elles semblent anodines… mais elles peuvent transformer un bon vin en expérience frustrante. Voici celles que je rencontre le plus souvent : - Servir à mauvaise température : un vin trop froid ou trop chaud = cela joue sur l'expression aromatique et la texture en bouche - Remplir le verre à ras bord : moins d'oxygénation, moins d'arômes - Aller trop vite : la dégustation demande du temps, de l'attention - Négliger le contexte : lumière, bruit, posture… tout compte - Conserver le vin trop longtemps ouvert : oxydation et altération rapide Ce sont des détails… mais ce sont eux qui font la différence. Si vous formez, servez ou dégustez du vin régulièrement, gardez ces repères en tête. Et partagez-les autour de vous ! Pour une analyse détaillée (et les solutions à chaque erreur), ma vidéo complète est en ligne ici et sur ma chaine: Boire du vin comme un pro : les 5 erreurs à éviter Et vous, quelle erreur voyez-vous le plus souvent autour de vous ? Ou celle que vous avez vous-même longtemps faite sans vous en rendre compte ?

Send us a textJason Yee has extensive work experience in various industries involving health, fitness, and performance. Jason founded Train 2.0 in February 2017, an incredible hockey teaching platform that I have arguably benefitted from.Growing up in a small town in British Columbia, Canada, Jason was determined to make it to the NHL. When he wasn't scouted at the age of 18, frustration turned into determination, and then into an obsession with finding a better way to learn and develop as a hockey player. That obsession led Jason to study kinesiology at the University of British Columbia, where he graduated near the top of his class for his thesis on player selections and the process of making a hockey team. He later put his training and research to the test by playing professional hockey in the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL).Jason is also the founder of his newest project, Arrow Supplements, who produce a Magnesium Bisglycinate supplement, which is the most absorbable, most researched, and most recommended magnesium. Arrow Supplement's mission is to cut through the noise of the supplement industry with honesty and simplicity.Find Jason at-https://train2point0.com/https://www.arrowsupplements.com/https://www.grantme.ca/Find Boundless Body at- myboundlessbody.com Book a session with us here!

Andy and Brendan are in high spirits for this "Victory Wednesday" recording focused on the Canadian Open. The two discuss the results from "Golf's Longest Day" of U.S. Open qualifying. Amateurs lit some sites up, Cam Young advanced in a playoff, and Zac Blair found his way in at Springfield yet again. There's some LinkedIn chatter after "dental coach" Matt Vogt advanced to Oakmont from the Walla Walla, Washington site. Andy and Brendan ponder whether big-name players that failed to qualify at east-coast events should have flown out to the west coast to play different competition.
