In this debut episode, we're thrilled to welcome new podcast host Coach Tim Lebbossiere, Assistant Performance Coach for the Boston Bruins. Coach Tim kicks things off by introducing himself, answering listener questions, and sharing his expert insights into hockey performance. He offers a glimpse into his coaching style and training methodologies, emphasizing the year-round importance of power and explosive work. Listeners will also gain actionable advice on in-season conditioning, structuring speed training, and optimizing pregame warm-ups to ensure peak on-ice performance. This is just the beginning—new interview-style episodes with Coach Tim will be released monthly, each packed with valuable strategies and insights to help hockey players take their game to the next level! Takeaways Power and explosive work should be emphasized year-round. Strength training has a longer residual effect than speed training. In-season conditioning should be tailored to ice time and player needs. Distance running may not be the best option for hockey players. Low-impact conditioning methods are preferable for hockey training. Goalies require different conditioning strategies than skaters. Speed work should be divided into acceleration, max velocity, and change of direction. Warm-ups should include mobility, activation, and neural activation components. Pregame lifting should focus on low volume to avoid fatigue. Individualized training is crucial for optimizing player performance.

Sports medicine physician Emily Kraus knows a lot about the health challenges of female athletes. Women face far more ACL tears and bone stress injuries than men, for instance, and excessive training or poor nutrition can also delay puberty and affect menstruation. These differences are vastly understudied, she says. To close the gap, Kraus initiated the “Female Athlete Voice Project” that asks female Olympic and Paralympic athletes about their health experiences. We need to tailor approaches specific to female athletes, Kraus tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering'sThe Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

"Why do people get so dressed up for track when they're going to go run a hundred meters? I'm like, they look good, they feel good, they run good." "Learning that threshold, the minimal effective dose is really what we're looking for." "I'm a big proponent of when I'm treating somebody, I treat them for about 5-10 minutes. I get them up to move around and check how it's doing immediately."

I'm excited to share some data insights on athlete performance that we've been tracking at HansenAthletics. We're diving into what demands are placed on athletes, the type of conditioning that's appropriate for their sport, and what's important for their position. I'll be comparing the data of a linebacker and a wide receiver/cornerback, highlighting their total distance covered, high-speed running, intensity, top speed, accelerations, decelerations, and more. This information will help us improve our training methods and make better decisions for our athletes. From there, we shift gears to talk about optimizing conditioning for sport performance. How should athletes train to meet the specific demands of their position? What role does sprint training, acceleration and deceleration, and sled loads and sprints play? We get into the nitty-gritty of these methods, discussing how they can be incorporated into practice, how much volume is ideal, and the strategic importance of situational drills. Tune in to understand the science behind conditioning and learn how to leverage these insights to elevate athletic performance. No matter if you're a coach planning training or a player looking to up your game, there's something in here for you.A massive thank you for listening to the show and supporting HansenAthletics.If you're interested in our free resources or learning more, hit our website or follow me on the channels below:InstagramTwitterYouTubeTikTokLinkedIn
This week I had the pleasure to talk with AJ Beach. He is a Sandia Prep and UNM graduate. He is an athlete performance therapist and has helped many people get through injuries and back to performing the way they are comfortable with. We talk about how he got into running and competing at the New Mexico State meet. He talked about some of the expectations and how that can be a burden when you are not performing the way you want or are expecting to. We also talk about how that disappointment helped him find something he became more passionate about. We talk briefly about his brother, Curtis Beach, and how AJ never really felt in competition with him and was able to do his own thing. That can be a difficult thing for many families, so it was good to hear about their relationship and the positives. AJ also talks about the specifics of what he does and who he works with. He has worked with high school athletes to Olympic caliber athletes, from pets to grandparents. He truly wants to help anyone he can. If you are interested in seeing AJ, you can check out his website here. It has been a crazy beginning to the summer for me, but I am happy to have some guests lined up. I'm also excited for a new cross country season. There is a wonderful new group of athletes at my school and no doubt around the state. I'm excited to see what everyone is able to do this Fall. Hopefully everyone is taking care of their bodies, hydrating, and preparing well for any upcoming races or challenges. So keep on moving, listen to your body, and keep running, New Mexico.
The ultimate tour de force of human strength, endurance, mental toughness, and unyielding perseverance. That's what this week's Team Never Quit Podcast guest, Mike McCastle is. Listen in as Mike and Marcus engage in a discussion about Mike's seemingly unbelievable feats he refers to as "labors". Endurance athlete - yes; Multiple world record holder - you know it; In-demand performance coach - for sure; Motivational speaker - of course. After serving 11 years in the U. S. Navy, he founded Twelve Labors Project, a charitable initiative driven by a mission to redefine the limits of human potential while inspiring others to elevate beyond their perceived capacity for greatness. Mike is perennially challenging his own physical and mental limits, and he's not anywhere near done yet. In this podcast, he reveals his upcoming 9th labor, and it will blow you away when you hear it. Mike's 8 charitable labors he has accomplished so far include: A 50k run while wearing a 40lb vest for Cancer Research. A 13-mile, 250-pound tire flip for wounded veterans. A Rope Climb that equaled the height of Mount Everest - 29,029 feet in 27 hours for Parkinson's Disease Research. Breaking the Guinness World Record for 'Most Pull-ups in 24 hours after completing 5,804 pull-ups, while wearing a 30-pound pack to represent the heavy burden of the wounded warrior. Pulled a Ford F-150 pickup truck for 22 miles in 19 hours across Death Valley to raise awareness for Veteran Suicide. Ran 20 miles per day for 100 consecutive days to heighten awareness of the Veteran Suicide epidemic. Pulled a full-size pickup truck for 10 miles through the Arctic Circle. Broke the world record for the longest full-body submersion in ice (2 hours and 40 minutes). In this episode you will hear: I basically grew up in a cornfield. I went to BUDS (Navy SEAL Training) and blew my knees out. Then I needed to re-find my purpose because my one-man pity party wasn't working for me. My dad's Parkinson's started to progress, and one day I came home and he was on the floor. He had had a stroke. I decided to take care of my dad and stop the pursuit of sports. But in my mind, I quit. You can fool other people, but you can never fool yourself. Things that pull you away from your purpose are those are things behind the doors in your hallway of life. You're tested, dragged through the fire, and you feel like you're cursed but you still have a choice. If you put all your eggs in one basket and when it gets taken away from you, you're left with nothing. Then who the hell am I? I needed to find my purpose again. That's how The Twelve Labors Project got started. I wanted to create a physical manifestation of the message I wanted to deliver. It's not a weakness to be vulnerable. Finding your purpose in life requires risk. I don't give a shit about records. What I care about is “Is this going to deliver my message?” “Are people gonna remember WHY I did it?” Reality isn't what happens to us, it's our interpretation of what happens to us. We're all writing our own stories. You cannot only come back after failure, but you can come back stronger after failure. My father always said, "You suffer more in imagination than you do in reality." Finish what you started. If you're gonna do it, go all the way. We're all the heroes of our own story. You go through the crucible you come back, and you share the lessons learned. The reward for finishing a labor is the next labor. The internet is undefeated. Our time on this planet is very limited. The things we do echoes through eternity from the lens of your loved one. The only goal for my son is to leave this world a better place than he found it, like I hope I am doing and I hope that everyone who hears my message does.
