Ever wondered what drives an Olympic sprinter to the peak of their game? In this engaging episode, Baylor Barbee dives into the compelling story of Noah Lyles, an American Olympic sprinter whose journey to gold is as inspiring as it is instructive. With vivid insights and lessons from Lyles' recent 100 meters men's finals at the Olympics, Barbee illustrates the crucial line between confidence and cockiness, the importance of respecting competition, and the power of a strong finish. In the first part of the episode, Baylor Barbee uses Noah Lyles as a springboard to discuss the essential elements of unwavering self-belief. Highlighting Lyles' spirited confidence and the minor setbacks he faced, Barbee underscores that confidence, when truly backed by effort and results, is transformative in any field. Barbee encourages listeners to cultivate that internal fire, emphasizing that true confidence is rooted in self-awareness and the hard work one puts into honing their craft. In the second half, Barbee turns focus to the broader implications and lessons from Lyles' race. From not underestimating competitors to the strategic importance of finishing strong, Baylor relates these points back to everyday life and business scenarios. He offers a compelling narrative on the significance of maintaining momentum and pushing through adversities—hallmark tactics that can propel one towards success, both personally and professionally. This episode wraps up on an invigorating note, urging listeners to push hard towards their goals and never relent until the finish line is crossed. Key Takeaways: Unwavering Self-Belief: Confidence should be built on genuine self-awareness and hard work, not arrogance. Respect for Competition: Never underestimate your rivals; always maintain a healthy respect for their capabilities. Importance of Finishing Strong: The way you finish is often more critical than how you start; focus on building end-year momentum. Persistence Pays Off: Success can come down to the tiny margins; keep pushing till the very end. Learning from Setbacks: View early stumbles as opportunities to reassess and push harder. Notable Quotes: "You have to have an unwavering belief in yourself." – Baylor Barbee "Cocky is saying something you know is not true; true confidence is backed by effort and results." – Baylor Barbee "Don't make the mistake of losing out on your proverbial gold medal all because you underestimated the other guy." – Baylor Barbee "It's not over until you actually cross the finish line." – Baylor Barbee "Build on the momentum that we create through our actions right now so that we can finish strong." – Baylor Barbee   If you're looking to sharpen your mindset and achieve your goals, we've got you covered.

It's the day after for America's new “golden girls” after Simone Biles and the women's gymnastics team trounced more than a half-dozen other countries to bring home the gold. Simone is now the most decorated American Olympic gymnast in history. Right after the big win she threw some shade on a fellow gymnast who questioned team USA's work ethic. And Donald Trump appeared at the National Association of Black Journalists today. And saying things were contentious would be an understatement. The former president kicked things off saying his introduction was rude, disgraceful, and horrible.Plus, while recovering from hip replacement surgery 70-year-old TV legend, Kathie Lee Gifford, fell - fracturing her pelvis in two places. Falling can be catastrophic, especially for those at Gifford's age. Ann Mercogliano has tips on how to take a fall without breaking anything. And a man fighting with a group of teens tubing on a river pulls a knife killing a 17-year-old. He claimed it was self-defense, but was found guilty of first-degree reckless homicide. Today, the judge handed down his sentence.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week's show brought to you by: MAS Iron Outside of training deficiencies, low iron is one of the most common reasons for poor results during workouts and races.  Recent research indicates that almost 56% of male runners and 86% of female runners suffer from an iron deficiency that severely hampers performance. The problem with eating iron-rich foods or supplementing with traditional iron supplements is that iron is notoriously difficult for the body to absorb and utilize. In fact, only about 25% of dietary iron found in animal sources is absorbed while 17% or less of the iron from plant sources is absorbed. But MAS Iron has found a way to combat these absorption issues to ensure you can get the iron you need for health and performance. By combining the most efficiently absorbed form of elemental iron with clinically proven ingredients to aid in absorption, MAS Iron performs like no other iron product on the market. In fact, clinical research has shown the combination of ingredients in MAS Iron can quadruple absorption and increase bioavailability by 30%, all while reducing GI issues by 50%. Check out the research and the results for yourself at masedge.com/iron. Runnersconnect fans will automatically save 20% on any purchase. Fatty15 The benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids are widely espoused, and rightfully so, in almost every healthy diet in the world. The problem is that Omega-3 supplements face a lot of issues. From going rancid quickly to cheap forms not being absorbed. But thanks to Fatty15, now there's a better option. Fatty15's C15 omega-3 is made from a patented, oxidation-resistant form of pure C15 derived from plants. It's vegan-friendly, free of flavors, fillers, allergens or preservatives. Plus, independent studies have shown is has 3x the healthy-aging cell benefits of omega-3 or fish oil and that it's 3x better, broader, and safer than traditional omega-3. C15 works in multiple ways: It repairs age-related damage to cells, protects them from future breakdown, and boosts mitochondrial energy output. Fatty15 is on a mission to replenish your C15 levels and restore your long-term health.

In this episode of A Runner's Life podcast, Corey, Phillip, Rob, and yours truly talk about stress management in our training, and uncover the deeper reasons behind why we run. No fluff, just real talk. We kick off with Rob's beauty updates, a segment that's quickly become a fan favourite. But this time, he's delivering a lesson we never knew we needed. Then, it's all about CJ's latest endeavour—the Jordan purchase before Tokyo. And of course, Phil's got his Jordans on the clutch, providing a YouTube-style review of the new Air Jordan (AJ) 3 Craft Ivory. We talk about the release of the new AJ4 Bred reimagined. Plus we give our reactions to the Olympic trials, including a shoutout to Sara Hall, we cover it all. Ever wondered what Eliud Kipchoge would be like if he weren't the Yoda of running? And he was just an American working full time trying to qualify for the American Olympic marathon trials? We explore that, along with sharing personal experiences like Rob ending up in the medical tent after emptying the tank. Stress management takes centre stage as Phil surprises us with an unexpectedly honest solution. We discuss how stress impacts our running and everyday lives, minus the scientific jargon. But it's not all serious talk. Phil shares a poignant story about finding his "why" in memory of a friend, reminding us of the deeper motivations that drive us forward. And finally, we discuss the significance of the Boston jacket—when it's appropriate wear and when it's just a flex. This week's episode it brought to you by PILLAR Performance.  PILLAR is a sports micro-nutrition company, and I'm testing out a a few products in my build for the Boston and London marathon double.  If you would like to try PILLAR today, head to www.pillarperformance.shop and you can get 15% off first time purchases with code MARCUS

When Nikki Stone injured her back in 1996, the pain was so excruciating that she couldn't stand for more than 15 minutes at a time. Bedridden by her spine injury, Nikki was advised by 10 different doctors to give up on her dreams of Olympic gold as it was unlikely she would ever ski again.Two years later at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan, Nikki would go on to become the first American to win a gold medal as an inverted aerial skier, solidifying her future as a US National Ski Hall of Famer. Nikki's story is one of determination, grit, and a never give up attitude. Today, she encourages others to realize their passions, triumph over obstacles, and take risks to reach extraordinary goals.

Beginning is tough. Kim Linehan was an American Olympic swimmer who, for 8 years, held the world record in the Women's 1500-meter freestyle. Competing at 18 years of age, Kim would do endless exercises and swam 7 to 12 miles a day. But when she was asked “what is the hardest part of your regimen?” she gave this reply: “getting in the water.” Getting in the water. Beginning is tough. Starting over—beginning again—is harder still. If I couldn't finish it the first time, why even try this time? One needs motivation to finish, and it just seem so lacking in situations like these.But Paul writes to a struggling church from prison and shares this remarkably inspiring word: “I'm confident of this…that the same God who began a good work within you is going to carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.” The sermon today is titled "New Beginnings." The Scripture reading is from Philippians 1:6. Originally preached at the West Side Church of Christ (Searcy, AR) on August 7, 2022.
