Did you know the government doesn't fund deaf athletes, because they aren't allowed to compete at the Paralympics? For 100 years now they've been holding their own competition - the Deaflympics - where referee whistles are replaced by flag signals, and starting guns by flashing lights. But no Paralympics means no funding. All because they were born with the so-called “wrong” disability. Team GB medal hopefuls Charlotte Gower and Nathan Young join Gabby. Plus we look back at the best bits from this week on The Sports Agents from the NBA gambling scandal featuring the mafia and x-ray glasses with Andy Hughes (Co-Host of The Crime Agents podcast) and The Athletic's Mike Vorkunov; to a love letter to the Ashes with some hilarious stories from Phil Tufnell.

With the NBA season just getting started, Jimmy sits down with Utah Jazz legend Thurl “Big T” Bailey for a wide-ranging, heartfelt conversation. Thurl looks back on being the No. 7 pick in 1983, falling in love with Utah and its fans, and the lessons his mom taught him about letting basketball open doors to serve the community. He also relives NC State's iconic 1983 title run with Jimmy V—manifesting by “practicing” cutting down the nets, the game plan against Phi Slama Jama, and why leadership, belief, and defense still win.The conversation turns deeply personal as Thurl shares his journey of faith and conversion to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, meeting his wife, and how their love endured family pushback before ultimately bringing everyone together. They wrap with candid Jazz talk—young core optimism, what it takes for small-market contenders today, ideas to spice up the NBA (U.S. vs. World All-Star), and why Ryan Smith's vision across Utah sports has Thurl genuinely excited.00:00 Introduction01:30 Thurl Bailey on joining the Utah Jazz and embracing Utah06:30 The legendary NC State championship run with Jim Valvano13:00 Thurl's faith journey and conversion to the LDS Church17:00 Love, family challenges, and lessons in forgiveness22:00 Finding purpose beyond basketball and serving others23:00 The future of the Utah Jazz and today's NBA31:49 Outro

STRONG Life Podcast ep 533 Brian Bott

Behind every highlight reel is a messy maze of contacts, gatekeepers, and missed opportunities—until someone maps it. In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Ryan Rottman, actor-turned-founder who conceived an “IMDb for athletes,” and Sean O'Brien, CEO and former CMO who scaled Modloft from ~$25M to nearly $100M and helped Kevin Costner's Autio build engineering in-house. Backed by marquee investors (including super-agent Scott Boras) and a recent CNBC debut, AthleteAgent.com centralizes accurate, validated contacts for athletes and agents across growing pro leagues. Ryan and Sean share how they're boosting deal flow for the 99% of athletes, tightening product focus, and building trust in an industry famous for being fragmented and insular.   Key Takeaways: → How a dinner with Aaron Rodgers sparked the idea for an “IMDb for athletes” → Why athlete representation and endorsement deals are so fragmented—and how they're solving it → The surprising industries subscribing to AthleteAgent (from Coca-Cola to financial advisors) → How AthleteAgent is bringing transparency, trust, and deal flow to athletes and agents → Why sports representation and endorsements are so fragmented—and how a centralized “pro LinkedIn” changes the game   Ryan Rottman is the Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of AthleteAgent.com, a groundbreaking sports tech platform. In his role, Ryan oversees business operations, strategic partnerships, and platform development, helping expand the site's reach across professional leagues and enhance its database of verified athlete and team contacts. Before stepping into the tech and sports business world, Ryan built a successful career in entertainment, starring in films such as Billionaire Boys Club, The Open Road, and a variety of Hallmark originals, as well as television series like 90210(CW), The Middle (ABC), and The Lying Game (ABC Family). His background in production and storytelling has been instrumental in shaping AthleteAgent.com's user experience and brand identity. Ryan combines business acumen with creative vision, bringing a unique edge to the intersection of sports, media, and tech. Sean O'Brien is a seasoned entrepreneur and executive with a track record of scaling successful ventures across multiple industries. In his early 20s, Sean co-founded a patented eCommerce company that achieved $10M in sales and was acquired after being featured as a “Product of the Year” on The View. He went on to launch The DivotCard, a Groupon-like platform for golf, which earned recognition in Inc.. By the age of 30, both startups had exits. Sean later served as CMO/CTO at Modloft, a luxury D2C furniture brand, helping scale it to nearly $100M in revenue and earning accolades from Forbes, CNN, and Architectural Digest. He also played a key role at Autio, a startup backed by Kevin Costner and other investors, which turned down a $1M offer on Shark Tank. Currently, Sean is the CEO of AthleteAgent.com and Swingzy, while also being a part-time venture capitalist at NGVP and Hustle Fund. He has studied at prestigious institutions such as Wharton, Stanford, and UC Berkeley.   Connect With Ryan Rottman and Sean O'Brien: Website: https://www.athleteagent.com/ Instagram: https://www.athleteagent.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Whether you lift weights, run, bike, or do all of the above, your body needs the right fuel. In this episode, we are breaking down the core nutrition principles every active person should know. What you'll learn: How to balance carbs, protein, and fats for performance What and when to eat around workouts Key micronutrients for energy and recovery Hydration and electrolyte tips Common myths about workout nutrition

Topics discussed: Callers continue to nominate the greatest athletes of all-time (The Drive) // Hart, Fitzy and Ted state their cases for the Patriots top trade need // Odds and Ends: Revealing the winner of our Patriots' trade deadline debate

Hart, Fitzy and Ted Johnson hear from callers, all of whom weigh in on our Shohei Ohtani conversation with their own greatest athletes of all-time.

A wave of excitement hit social media over a perimenopause hormone therapy “study” that hadn't even cleared peer review. We pull back the curtain on how posters at medical conferences actually work, why methods and nuance matter, and how hype from massive accounts can eclipse the careful voices of the researchers themselves. It's a candid look at women's health misinformation, how it spreads, and why long-form conversations offer a better path to clarity.From there, we dive into real questions from active moms. What explains breathlessness and fatigue at just eight weeks when your body looks the same? How do you navigate the identity whiplash of being an athlete who suddenly feels slower, quieter, and less recovered? We share practical ways to stay consistent, lean on community, and reframe expectations without losing performance completely. You'll learn how to assess lower abdominal soreness after toes-to-bar, when a hip flexor or lower abdominal strain is the likely culprit, and when anxiety or ectopic history means it's time to see a clinician.We map out first-trimester strength work in clear terms: three focused full-body days, two to four sets per lift, rep ranges that respect energy, and simple progressions—add a rep, add a little load, or add a set as recovery allows. Instead of defaulting to scaling everything, we push for a progression mindset and modify only when your body asks. On pelvic girdle pain and sciatica, we compare slimmer pelvic belts like the Serola with fuller supports, explain who benefits most, and pair any device with targeted hip and trunk strengthening. We also spotlight a missing piece in the literature: how pre-pregnancy injury history shapes pain during pregnancy, and what that means for prevention.If you're an active mom, coach, or clinician who values evidence with empathy, this conversation gives you tools you can use today—plus the context to spot hype before it takes root. Subscribe, share with a friend who trains, and leave a quick review to help more women find trustworthy guidance.___________________________________________________________________________Don't miss out on any of the TEA coming out of the Barbell Mamas by subscribing to our newsletter You can also follow us on Instagram and YouTube for all the up-to-date information you need about pelvic health and female athletes.

Age is just a number. Joe and Hollywood discuss how today's veteran athletes continue to defy Father Time — from LeBron James and Steph Curry still leading championship teams, to Sidney Crosby and Brad Marchand dominating on the ice, and even Joe Flacco and Aaron Rodgers proving they can still get it done in the NFL. The guys break down what's allowing these 35+ stars to stay elite and how sports performance has changed with age.

In episode 373 of The Physical Performance Show, sports medicine expert Dr Jay Hertel shares an in-depth exploration of chronic ankle instability in athletes. Drawing on his extensive clinical and research experience, Dr Hertel discusses the prevalence, consequences, and complex rehabilitation of ankle sprains. The conversation covers the patho-mechanical, sensory-perceptual, and motor-behavioral impacts of repeated ankle injuries, including early onset osteoarthritis, proprioceptive deficits, and the psychological hurdles faced by patients—such as loss of confidence and fear of re-injury. Dr Hertel explains the evolution of clinical models for assessing and treating chronic ankle instability, emphasising individualised care that considers not just the structural and neuromuscular factors, but also personal and environmental influences on recovery. The episode includes practical wisdom and a holistic approach and leaves athletes, clinicians, and listeners with a greater appreciation for the complexity of ankle injuries and a roadmap for improving outcomes both physically and mentally.   Show Sponsor: The Rehab Mechanics offers Simple Tools and Real Results.

Send us a textForget the cliché of “student-athlete.” These founders flipped the order for real. We sat down with the team behind Game Changers Sports Academy to unpack how a bootstrapped vision became a rigorous school where a 3.0 GPA is the ticket to train, block schedules fight boredom, and phones go in a cart so attention can come back to class. They call the transcript “life insurance,” and their model proves why: small ratios, direct instruction, and accredited online platforms combine to meet kids where they are and push them where they can go.We walk through the system end to end: interviews that require students to read their essays aloud, uniforms that cut status games, and real-time dashboards that trigger instant academic interventions. When progress slips, training stops. When mindset wobbles, coaches treat it like any muscle—trainable through standards, language, and reps. Their “isms” stick: hard work isn't punishment, it's payment; opportunities don't vanish, they pass to someone prepared. The result is tangible—early graduates, rising GPAs, Division I opportunities, and quieter wins like a sixth grader who finally believes he can.This is Las Vegas education with an edge: people-first, purpose-driven, and built for the reality of modern youth sports and NIL-era pressures. The founders share plans connected to the Hilo project in North Las Vegas, painting an Olympic-village vision where elite training lives beside focused classrooms. They're not trying to out-glitz anyone. They're proving that structure, mentorship, and accountability still outperform hype. If you care about youth development, performance coaching, or how schools can actually hold attention, you'll feel the energy—and maybe borrow a few policies for your own home or team.If this conversation challenged your thinking, follow the show, share it with a parent or coach, and leave a quick review to help more listeners find it.

Together, they co-run The Unconventional Collaborative, a mastermind supporting practitioners, coaches, and trainers looking to elevate their work (I'm a member myself!).In this episode, we explore a topic that doesn't get nearly enough attention in athletic spaces: fertility and how it connects to performance and long-term health for both women and men.PSA: Fertility isn't just about having kids. It's also a reflection of hormone and metabolic health, energy availability, and overall well-being. In other words, your reproductive health is a vital sign of how your body is functioning.We dive into:Why fertility is about so much more than having kids (although we talk about that too, don't worry)How underfueling and stress impact fertility and hormone healthCommon signs of low energy availability in athletesWhy menstrual cycles (for women) and testosterone levels (for men) are key performance and health indicatorsNutrition strategies to support fertility and healthy hormonesThe role of birth control in reproductive healthAnd SO much more!This is a must-listen for any active person who wants to perform their best and protect their long-term well-being.

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Dr. Cristina Castagnini sits down with Robyn Goldberg, RDN, a nationally recognized registered dietitian nutritionist, author, and podcast host.Robyn shares her journey as a lifelong athlete—from competing in tennis at the collegiate level to training for triathlons—and the painful lessons she learned when her body broke down after years of being told to 'just push through.' Her story highlights the harmful cultural and athletic messages around pain, performance, and identity, and how ignoring the body's signals can have lasting consequences.Together, Cristina and Robyn explore topics such as how athletics shape body image, what perimenopause teaches us about longevity, and why families and clinicians urgently need better tools to support individuals with eating disorders. This candid conversation offers wisdom on resilience, reframing health, and the importance of truly listening to your body at every stage of life.SHOW NOTES: Click hereFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/behind_the_bite Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
