I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Al Smith. Interview Purpose The purpose of this interview is to explore life transitions, resilience, and financial discipline through the lens of elite performance, using Al Smith’s journey from NFL All‑Pro to executive, entrepreneur, and community leader as a blueprint. The conversation highlights how preparation, education, mindset, and adaptability are essential when dreams evolve or abruptly change. This interview also serves to connect the experiences of professional athletes with those of small business owners and entrepreneurs, emphasizing that success in both arenas requires discipline, accountability, and long‑term thinking. Major Themes & Key Takeaways 1. Education as a Safety Net and Strategy Al Smith made the deliberate decision to finish his college degree before fully committing to the NFL, recognizing that professional sports offered no guarantees. This choice gave him leverage, confidence, and security—both mentally and financially—throughout his career. Key takeaway: Always secure something tangible before going “all in” on an uncertain opportunity. 2. Turning Fear into Fuel Smith openly discusses fear—fear of being cut, fear of competition, fear of uncertainty—and how he learned to convert fear into motivation rather than paralysis. He treated each season as if it were his last, approaching preparation with urgency and focus. Key takeaway: Fear is inevitable; how you respond to it determines longevity and success. 3. Competition Is Not the Enemy Competition played a central role in Smith’s development. Rather than avoiding it, he embraced it, understanding that growth requires discomfort. He credits adversity, pressure, and coaching challenges with sharpening his performance and character. Key takeaway: Competition strengthens discipline and reveals accountability. 4. Financial Literacy and Lifestyle Discipline Smith addresses the common financial pitfalls faced by professional athletes, many of which also apply to entrepreneurs: Lifestyle inflation Supporting others without boundaries Delegating financial decisions without understanding them Trying to maintain an image instead of sustainability Smith’s financial stability was aided by mentors, personal involvement in decisions, and a mindset focused on not owing—not just earning. Key takeaway: Financial success is not about income—it’s about control, habits, and awareness. 5. Mentorship and Environment Matter Smith emphasizes the value of surrounding himself with successful, disciplined people both on and off the field. Mentorship influenced how he thought about money, effort, competition, and leadership. Key takeaway: Proximity shapes thinking; environment influences outcomes. 6. Preparing for Life After the Dream Even while succeeding in the NFL, Smith planned for the transition ahead. This forward thinking led to opportunities in the front office, business, and leadership. He viewed this transition as a chance to open doors for others and to understand the business side of sports. Key takeaway: The end of one dream can be the beginning of a larger purpose. 7. Athletes and Entrepreneurs Face the Same Reality Smith draws a direct parallel between: Athletes competing yearly with no guarantees Entrepreneurs running businesses without security or routine Both require maximum effort, preparation beyond the clock, and resilience. Key takeaway: There is no 40‑hour workweek when you are building something of your own. Notable Quotes “I turned my fear into fire.” “There are no guarantees—every year is a one‑year deal.” “I treated every season like it was my last.” “You don’t want to owe. You want to own.” “Don’t be scared of competition.” “The gain outweighs the strain.” “Prepare so that if it ends tomorrow, you’re still standing.” Overall Message Al Smith’s interview is a powerful lesson in discipline, foresight, and adaptability. It reframes success as something built through preparation before opportunity arrives and sustained by humility, mentorship, and intentional decision‑making. His story reinforces that dreams evolve—but character, work ethic, and financial awareness determine whether those transitions become setbacks or stepping stones. #SHMS #BEST #STRAWSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Aston Martin Formula 1 team recently announced that Fernando Alonso would be racing for them again in 2027. There has been plenty of speculation around this, as the now 45 year old has teased his retirement several times but continues to race. More athletes are continuing to compete at older and older ages, and people buy in as they want to see the stars compete, but is this taking up space for the up and coming athletes? David Higgins is the founder of Duco Events, he joined D'Arcy to discuss. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Athlete transition does not begin when the final whistle blows.Athletes are constantly navigating change.They enter new programs. They adjust to college. They suffer injuries. They lose starting positions. They move to the scout team. They transfer. They become parents. They lose loved ones. They graduate. And eventually, every athlete has to navigate life after their sport.The question is: Who is helping them through those transitions?In this episode, Edward Jones II continues breaking down the BEYOND Player Development Framework with the "N," which stands for Navigation.Drawing from his experiences at the University of Houston, the University of Kansas, Baylor University, and Beyond The Field, Edward explains why programs need to identify the transitions athletes will experience and intentionally build support around them.This episode focuses on four important questions:• How are you helping athletes navigate the transitions they experience?• What are the key transitions athletes are going through in your program?• Where are athletes most vulnerable during those transitions?• How are you staying connected with athletes during and after transitions?Edward shares why some of his most important player development work happened outside his office, particularly in the training room.An injured athlete is not simply recovering physically. That athlete may also be watching teammates travel without them, seeing someone else take their position, questioning their identity, and wondering what comes next.The same vulnerability can exist for a highly recruited freshman who suddenly finds himself on the scout team, a player entering the transfer process, or a former athlete who wakes up after years of structured schedules and no longer receives the message telling him where he needs to be that day.Those moments matter.Programs should not wait until an athlete is struggling to think about transition.Identify the transitions.Determine where athletes are most vulnerable.Create support systems.Stay connected.And remember that your responsibility to develop people extends beyond the moments when everything is going well.Edward also shares his recent alumni check-in system, which includes intentionally reconnecting with former athletes at different points after they leave the program.Navigation is more than preparing athletes for life after sports.It is helping them successfully move through change while they are in your program and supporting them as they move into whatever comes next.This episode is part of the BEYOND Player Development Framework:B: BelongingE: EducationY: Your PurposeO: OpportunitiesN: NavigationD: Development SystemsTo learn more about the BEYOND Player Development Framework or bring Edward Jones II in to work with your program, complete the BEYOND Framework Assessment using the link in the episode notes.Developing People.

I keep coming back to AI because you guys keep asking about it. This week, I'm breaking down exactly where it belongs in your content process, and where it doesn't.AI is a dial, not a switch. How much I want you leaning on it depends on where you're at.Here's my warning - athletes can smell AI-written content, and it costs you trust. I go through the tells (paragraphs that say nothing, repetitive sentence shapes, over-designed posts, suspiciously perfect spelling) and make the case that a typo is proof you actually wrote it.I also walk through two real examples from my own content: a reel pulled from a forgotten podcast story that hit 300K+ views and 50 new followers, and a same-day post that saved me on a day I had nothing left in the tank.DM me the word CONTENT and let's talk about getting your content strategy in line, whether that's Dream Launcher, Dream to 6, Dream to 7, or Content That Recruits that's coming back soon.Let me know what you think!

To build muscle, recover well, and perform at your best, physique athletes need to set the right daily protein target, distribute it across meals, and adjust it based on their training phase, body size, and digestion—not simply eat more protein. In this “Peak Physique Podcast,” NASM Master Trainer and IFBB Physique Olympian Andre Adams explains how to determine your baseline protein needs using lean body mass, clarify the impact of training and conditioning phases, and understand the difference between just eating more protein and actually fueling muscle growth and performance. You will learn how to fine-tune your protein intake, why the total amount must be matched to your phase and metabolism, and when more protein becomes counterproductive. Andre covers meal timing, portion size, food selection, and troubleshooting digestion or adherence issues. The episode also outlines how to balance carbohydrates and fats to support training, avoid fatigue, and ensure long-term diet success. After listening, you will know how to create a functional, realistic, and repeatable high-protein NASM nutrition plan to support both performance and body composition goals as an athlete or coach. Chapters:  00:00:45 What is the right amount of daily protein for physique athletes? 00:03:06 Does eating more protein always build more muscle? 00:04:06 How do training phase and leanness affect protein requirements? 00:06:39 What health factors can limit or increase protein intake? 00:08:19 How should you distribute protein across your meals? 00:12:14 What types of protein sources are best for different diet phases? 00:15:35 How should you manage carbs and fats around your protein anchor? 00:18:13 When and why should you adjust carbs for training performance? 00:21:28 Does the timing and order of protein and carbs post-workout matter? 00:22:06 Why do essential fats and fibrous foods matter for athletes? 00:25:09 How do you make a high-protein diet realistic and repeatable? 00:27:12 What is the most important thing for long-term physique progress?

In this episode with Charlotte Ganderton we explore a recent paper in which she was lead author looking at hip related pain and quality of life in circus art performers. We discuss:·       Considerations for circus performers or gymnasts in their sport·       Posture cueing and considerations during rehabilitation·       Staged rehabilitation progressions for hip pain based on individual impairments

Injuries can interrupt the sporting and cultural careers of First Nations athletes and dancers, particularly when access to specialist treatment is limited. A Queensland-based initiative is working with health and community organisations to help address some of those barriers.

What does it mean to be an LGBTQ+ athlete competing at the Olympics or Paralympics? On this special episode of The Jack Murley Sports Show, we head into the archives to revisit some of our most memorable conversations with LGBTQ+ Olympians and Paralympians – athletes who have not only achieved extraordinary things in elite sport, but have also helped create greater visibility and representation for the queer community on sport's biggest stage. There has never been greater visibility of LGBTQ+ athletes at the Olympic and Paralympic Games, and the athletes featured in this episode have played an important part in helping LGBTQ+ people feel seen, represented and welcome in sport. From Olympic history-makers to medal-winning Paralympians, we revisit conversations with:

This episode is a supplementary full interview with Dr Mike Joy and Dr Milena Bojovic from Episode 5 of the Edible Empire podcast series. Here, we explore how New Zealand's dairy industry links local landscapes to global extraction, ecological harm, and the wider machinery of food imperialism.New Zealand's image of clean, green pastures hides one of the world's most intensive dairy industries. Behind each glass of milk there is a hidden web of global extraction: phosphate mined from occupied Western Sahara, palm kernel imported from deforested Southeast Asia, and polluted rivers flowing through Māori ancestral lands. This episode traces how New Zealand's dairy boom reshapes both local ecosystems and distant economies, from illegally occupied territories in West Africa to political power in New Zealand. Through the story of “white gold”, we uncover how even the purest landscapes are bound into the machinery of food imperialism.We discuss the environmentally destructive and geopolitically fraught supply chains connecting intensive dairy production in Aotearoa New Zealand with phosphate mining in the illegally occupied territory of Western Sahara as well as palm kernel from South-East Asia in cattle feed. Freshwater ecologist Dr Mike Joy and Geographer Dr Milena Bojovic detail how New Zealand's export-driven commodity model creates intense global market pressures for corporate profit and high-yield volume. Mike exposes the catastrophic local consequences of this system, explaining how excessive synthetic nitrogen and fertiliser inputs poison rivers, disrupt aquatic ecosystems, and contaminate drinking water. Milena, meanwhile, unpacks the structural traps that force farmers into continual intensification, which in turn fuels dependence on rare, internationally contested mineral resources. Resources from this interview:https://ojs.victoria.ac.nz/pq/article/view/9629/8507https://people.wgtn.ac.nz/mike.joy To view all the links to the websites and documents, visit the show notes on our website.Please support our work and enable us to deliver more content by buying us a coffee or becoming a member of Athletes for Nature.Follow us on Instagram and Facebook, subscribe to this podcast, and share this episode with your friends and family.

The Senate passed Ted Cruz’s college sports bill last night, 77-22. It heads to the House after the election.Athletes can still get paid for their name and likeness. Schools would get a harder cap on what they can share. Kids would get one free transfer. The NCAA would get legal cover to enforce the rules. Cruz says college sports turned into the wild west and this puts one rulebook on it. Critics say Congress is doing what the courts would not let the NCAA do.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For neurodiverse young athletes, struggles on the field, court or in the gym may have little to do with effort or motivation. Lisa Richer, founder of Journey to Bloom, says that coaches and parents need to look beyond performance and understand the individual athlete. Richer, a former elite gymnast who competed on the U.S. national team in the 1980s, draws on her own experiences as an undiagnosed neurodivergent athlete. She now works with families, athletes and coaches to identify obstacles that can affect both athletic performance and confidence. "Diagnoses inform; they do not define how we work with a student, an athlete, or a professional," Richer said.   Send podcast episode ideas to LisaEllenCohn1@gmail.com with the email subject line "Podcast Pitch."

Unlike “normal” global championship years, this professional season ended with three championships of a sort: the Diamond League final, World Ultimate Championships, and World Road Running Championships.As its name implies, the “ultimate” championship feels like the closest thing we had this year to a be-all-end-all determination of who's the best athlete in their respective events, but it's easier to look at the calendar and suggest that success in other forays—whether it's the European Championships, regular-season DL circuit, Commonwealth Games, or something else entirely—could mean the same or more than a trophy in Budapest.That made sorting out our year-end power rankings all the more challenging. How do you account for a steeplechaser who didn't have the option of competing at WUC? Or a sprinter who ran really well, but didn't necessarily face the same competition as a U.S. championship? When we first took on this assignment in June, World Indoors was the single biggest event on the schedule you could point to as evidence of championship mettle, and spillover good vibes from 2025 were still in the air. That's no longer true. 2025, and even this year's indoor season, are both increasingly distant memories. What have you (the top 25 athletes on the track and in the field) done for us lately?As always, there's a healthy dose of subjectivity that goes into these rankings. How do you compare a single-event specialist against a more generalized sprinter or distance runner? How much does consistency over the regular season matter compared to winning when it “counts?” How much does the top-end talent of an event or event group like the women's 800m or the men's pole vault elevate a star who didn't win all that much? How much should you weigh consistently beating a deep field of competition, like in the women's 100m hurdles or men's 100m?Top 25 Track Athletes of 2026:25 – Femke Bol 24 – Djamel Sedjati 23 – Gabby Thomas 22 – Emma Zapletalova 21 – Cooper Lutkenhaus 20 – Keely Hodgkinson 19 – Likina Amebaw 18 – Faith Cherotich 17 – Jakob Ingebrigtsen 16 – Cameron Myers 15 – Georgia Hunter Bell 14 – Klaudia Kazimierska 13 – Oblique Seville 12 – Emmanuel Wanyonyi 11 – Rai Benjamin 10 – Julien Alfred 9 – Marileidy Paulino 8 – Kenny Bednarek 7 – Collen Kebintashipi 6 – Ja'Kobe Tharp 5 – Josh Kerr 4 – Audrey Werro 3 – Melissa Jefferson-Wooden 2 – Alison dos Santos 1 – Masai Russell____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Like sparkling apple juice and gummy apple rings blending into one, Olipop's Crisp Apple is so tantalizingly sweet and refreshing it makes every day feel like a celebration.

Hello everyone. Welcome to the latest episode of The Matchbox Podcast powered by Ignition Coach Co. I'm your host, Adam Saban, and on this week's episode we're talking to the founder and CEO of Tymewear, Arnar Larusson about all things training with ventilation metrics.   As always, if you like what you hear, share this with your friends and leave us a five star review and if you have any questions for the show drop us an email at matchboxpod@gmail.com or head over to ignitioncoachco.com and fill out The Matchbox Podcast listener question form.    Alight let's get into it!   For more social media content, follow along @ignitioncoachco @adamsaban6 @dizzle_dillman @dylanjawnson @kait.maddox       https://www.youtube.com/c/DylanJohnsonCycling https://www.ignitioncoachco.com  https://www.youtube.com/@DrewDillmanChannel   Intro/ Outro music by AlexGrohl - song "King Around Here" - https://pixabay.com/music/id-15045/    The following was generated using Riverside.fm AI technologies   Summary This episode features Arnar Larusson, founder and CEO of Tymewear, talking about why breathing may be the missing signal in endurance training. The discussion centers on how ventilation can give coaches and athletes a more reliable view of internal workload, training zones, fatigue, and perceived exertion than heart rate alone.We also hear from Adam and Dizzle as they pressure-test the practical side of the tech, from zone setup to high-intensity work to whether the strap holds up in winter layers. Key topics Arnar Larusson shares how an engineering background in prosthetics and exosuits led him to endurance physiology and eventually to building a breathing sensor for athletes. The core idea behind Timeware is that lab-grade insights about ventilation, thresholds, and metabolic output were not accessible in the field, so the company built a way to bring that signal outside the lab. Arnar explains why he sees heart rate as only one limited piece of the performance picture, especially when it is affected by heat, altitude, fatigue, and fueling. The episode breaks down why ventilation is a stronger reference point for training zones because it is more directly tied to what the muscles are doing. Arnar walks through the evidence behind poor zone estimation using population averages, including the problem of large error margins and high non-responder rates. Adam and Dizzle dig into the relationship between breathing rate, RPE, and how the strap could help athletes better calibrate effort in real time. The conversation covers why ventilation is especially useful for endurance work and threshold work, while power remains the better guide for short VO2 max intervals. Arnar explains how the strap's dedicated breathing sensor differs from estimating respiration through HRV, especially once exercise intensity rises. They discuss how fatigue, race load, altitude, and heat can distort heart rate and power, while ventilation often stays the steadier anchor. The episode also touches on practical use cases like winter clothing interference, dynamic zones, and how the product may help coaches understand athlete readiness and training response.

This episode is a supplementary full interview with María Alonso Martínez from Episode 4 of the Edible Empire podcast series. Here, we explore the human and environmental costs of the fishmeal and fish oil industry that has decimated fisheries in West Africa in the name of supplying aquaculture feed and cheap, year-round fish.What connects salmon farming in northern Europe with tomato farming in southern Spain? These two, seemingly distinct food supply chains ensure that our supermarket shelves are stocked with cheap, year-round food. What we don't see, however, are the hidden links - the overfishing along the coast of West Africa that destroys local communities' livelihoods and drives migration to Europe; the dangerous journeys by small boat where 1 in 5 people die; the entrapment of migrants arriving in exploitative agricultural labour in Spain's intensive greenhouses. This interview examines the story of salmon farming - and highlights the hidden costs of this highly commodified food.Researcher María Alonso Martínez reveals the environmental and social costs of the vast plastic-covered greenhouses in south-east Spain that produce much of Europe's winter veg. She discusses the exploitation of a vast labour force of migrants who make the perilous journeys from West and North Africa, often dangerous, multi-day trips by small boat. On arrival, many of them work as undocumented migrant labourers, toiling under inhumane conditions within Almería's vast "Sea of Plastic" to harvest the cheap winter vegetables that stock European supermarket shelves.To view all the links to the websites and documents, visit the show notes on our website.Please support our work and enable us to deliver more content by buying us a coffee or becoming a member of Athletes for Nature.Follow us on Instagram and Facebook, subscribe to this podcast, and share this episode with your friends and family.

In this episode, three guests — NFL veteran Robert Gallery, nervous system coach Kristin Weitzel, and psychedelic therapist Dori Lewis — share how Ibogaine, 5-MeO-DMT, and mushroom medicine helped them reach trauma that talk therapy, willpower, and every tool they already had couldn't touch on their own. Robert Gallery is a former professional football player and a 2023 College Football Hall of Fame inductee. Following his professional career, Gallery experienced mental health challenges associated with repeated head injuries and alcohol dependency. Ibogaine treatment was a significant part of his personal recovery. He co-founded Athletes for Care to support other athletes navigating similar post-career challenges and to advocate for research and awareness around athlete mental health. Kristin Weitzel is a force of nature: a master of both strategic brilliance and soulful transformation. With two decades of experience building Fortune 500 brands—she's helmed multi-million-dollar campaigns and orchestrated world-class consumer experiences. But her deepest work began when she turned her experiential mastery inward, applying the same curiosity, drive, and devotion to the human experience. Now, as an expert who speaks on global stages, the founder of SHERPA Breath & Cold, and host of the WELLPOWER Podcast, Kristin has become a trusted leader in health optimization, nervous system regulation, and biohacking. Dori Lewis is a licensed psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, and co-founder of Elemental Psychedelics. She is also the owner of Reflective Healing Center in Fort Collins, Colorado, a psychotherapy group practice and licensed healing center specializing in psychedelic-assisted therapy, including ketamine and psilocybin, as well as integration therapy and transpersonal psychotherapy. Dori is a licensed Natural Medicine Clinical Facilitator in Colorado and serves as a clinical consultant in mushroom medicine work.   RESOURCES: Learn more about Robert Gallery here: https://athletesforcare.org/  Instagram: @athletes4care Watch the full episode with Robert here: https://www.taragarrison.com/blog/robertgallery Learn more about Kristin Weitzel here: http://sherpabreathandcold.com and here: https://www.wellpower.life/  Instagram: @kristinweitzelofficial Watch the full episode with Kristin here: https://www.taragarrison.com/blog/kristinweitzel Learn more about Dori here: https://www.elementalpsychedelics.com/ Watch the full episode with Dori here: https://www.taragarrison.com/blog/dorilewis   CHAPTERS: 00:00 – Welcome: the psychedelic healing expert stack 00:49 – Meet the three guests: Robert, Kristin & Dori 03:52 – Robert's first Ibogaine trip 06:47 – 5-MeO-DMT: meeting God and ego death 09:13 – Relapse and the motorcycle death vision 11:57 – A third Ibogaine trip: healing through growth 13:07 – Brain scans: why SPECT missed the healing 14:54 – MDMA research and reconciling with the Raiders 18:19 – Kristin's breakup, collapse, and suicidal ideation 20:01 – Why having "all the tools" wasn't enough 22:06 – Fawn response and the courage to try something new 24:41 – IFS, shadow work, and the body speaking first 28:35 – Dori's first mushroom trip and psychotic break 30:14 – MDMA, LSD, and years of recreational exploration 31:29 – Why psychedelics need real guidance 34:41 – Reconnecting with mushrooms through ceremony 36:22 – From underground healer to Reflective Healing Center 40:38 – Integration beats "take a pill, it's fixed" 42:04 – Working with a "third": respecting the medicine   WORK WITH TARA: Are You Looking for Help on Your Wellness Journey?

Axioms of Cycling: Chapter Two - Belief Systems - Ep206 In this dialogue I talk about how a rider's belief systems can impede their progress or prevent them from expressing their highest potential as an athlete. This is quite a common presentation in my experience. Athletes and coaches often focus on training methods and get super granular on 4 x 4 or 3 x 8 but in reality, the barriers to performance are quite often more about how an athlete has been programmed or brainwashed to think about the sport or themselves.  Examples I elaborate on include the idea that more is always better, that the best and only way to be better is through more effort, that a coach is or should be omniscient, or the conflation of the athlete's value as a human and their ability to ride a bike.    If any of these interest you or resonate, you might find this podcast interesting.     ***CONTRIBUTE TO THE PODCAST*** If you are so inclined, you can contribute financially to the production costs of bring this podcasts to you.

In this episode of the “All Things Endurance Podcast,” host Rick Prince chats with Jack Mullaney, head coach and executive director of the HOKA Northern Arizona Elite running team. In this episode, Jack discusses what it means to communicate effectively with athletes. Specifically, Rick and Jack cover the following topics:         1. Could you tell our listeners a bit more about yourself?2. Your job is working with elite and professional runners. Are there any large differences between communicating with elite runners and the rest of us mere mortals?3. Oftentimes, coaching puts an emphasis on programming and physiology while soft skills take a back seat. Where would you rank soft skills in relation to hard skills such as programming, testing and biomechanics?4. When is the right time to receive and provide feedback after an athlete's race didn't go as expected or planned?5. Coaching often requires having hard conversations with athletes. Do you have any tips for this?6. How do you communicate with an athlete who disagrees with your programming or race selection?7. If you find that an athlete is not following the programming that you prescribed, what is your approach and strategy to communicate with them?8. Are there any situations or conditions where you would say that a coach should cease working with an athlete or vice versa?9. Do you have any tips on how to best motivate athletes? 10. At the symposium, one of the topics we discussed was how to meet athletes halfway to get what you want out of them as a coach, but also to meet their needs. Could you discuss this a bit more and perhaps share an example?To learn more about HOKA Northern Arizona Elite, please visit www.nazelite.comFor $75 off a UESCA certification, use code ATE75

https://teachhoops.com/ What happens to your team when the head coach has a bad day? In this episode, Coach Collins takes a deep dive into one of the most important responsibilities of leadership: managing the emotional temperature of your program. Coaches often spend enormous amounts of time thinking about strategy, practice planning, player development, and culture. But players and assistant coaches are also constantly reading something else—the emotional state of the person leading them. Coach Collins uses the idea of the thermostat versus the thermometer to explain the difference. A thermometer simply reflects the temperature around it. A thermostat helps set it. Athletes naturally react to what is happening around them. Coaches have a greater responsibility. Their frustration, confidence, fear, patience, body language, and emotional consistency can quickly spread throughout a team. This becomes especially important when circumstances change quickly. Winning streaks, great practices, injuries, difficult losses, parent problems, player issues, staff disagreements, and unexpected setbacks can all happen within days of each other. If a coach's emotional state rises and falls with every event, players begin experiencing leadership whiplash. The episode explores the idea that every coach has a leadership range. At the top end, coaches are clear, proactive, relational, confident, and able to see the big picture. At their baseline, they are steady and dependable. At the low end, fatigue and frustration can lead to emotional reactions, micromanaging, distance, impatience, or poor communication. The goal is not to pretend that great leaders never reach their low end. They do. The goal is to raise the floor. How do you behave when things go badly? Can you lose and still communicate clearly? Can you receive difficult news without bringing panic into the gym? Can you correct a player without turning your frustration into that athlete's shame? Can your assistant coaches concentrate on coaching instead of trying to figure out what mood you are in? Those questions reveal a great deal about leadership. Coach Collins also challenges coaches to separate their identity from the scoreboard. Winning matters. Competition matters. Championships matter. But when a coach needs winning to validate who they are, the entire culture begins riding the emotional roller coaster with them. A great night means everything is wonderful. One loss suddenly makes everything feel broken. That is not stability. Great programs need leaders who can compete intensely while remaining grounded through both success and adversity. The episode gives coaches three practical questions for evaluating themselves: Did I act as the thermostat or the thermometer this week? What did my low end cost the people around me? And what boundary can I create to protect my emotional baseline next week? Sometimes that boundary is waiting before speaking after a difficult loss. Sometimes it is refusing to send the emotional text. Sometimes it is sleep, time away, perspective, or simply recognizing that an important decision should not be made while angry. For coaches trying to build sustainable culture, this episode is a reminder that your emotional regulation is not just personal. It becomes organizational. Players feel it. Assistant coaches feel it. Your program eventually reflects it. The scoreboard can change your circumstances. It does not have to change your leadership. basketball leadership, coaching leadership, basketball coaching, team culture, emotional leadership, thermostat vs thermometer, coach emotional control, leadership under pressure, coaching adversity, basketball culture, mental toughness for coaches, emotional regulation, head coach leadership, coaching staff, player development, program culture, leadership consistency, handling losses, coaching confidence, basketball program, high school basketball coach, coaching mindset, team leadership, sustainable culture, basketball podcast, TeachHoops Keywords Learn more about your ad choices.

406: I honestly was hesitant to have today's guest on because as most of you know, I am a Christian and because of my faith I don't like to entertain or promote anything that may "woo woo" - but as I did my own research in this space, come to find out there is nothing "woo woo" about today's topic. And that's quantum energy. If you listen to this entire interview I have with Todd Shipman from the company Leela Quantum, I know you will agree that what we are talking about is REAL and happening. If you are one to have food allergies, or living with mold or lyme disease, or perhaps you are pregnant or trying to get pregnant, or you just have an autoimmune disease, this may actually change the game in your effort to heal! In the conversation with Todd, we talk about what quantum energy actually is and why we can't see it - just like why we can't see EMFs, sound waves, and other frequencies....but just because we can't see them doesn't mean they don't exist. And that's what quantum energy is and how quantum energy can help neutralize EMFs and other harmful radiation frequencies in today's modern world of technology.  These devices and products actually help mitigate the harmful effects EMFs and technology has on our body and can even help if you have nutritional deficiencies and food allergies which Todd explains in this interview.  Upgrade your energy, harmonize your EMF exposure, and elevate your wellness with Leela Quantum Tech's science-backed quantum technology and get 10% off at https://leelaq.com/ when you use code DIGEST at checkout.  Topics Discussed:  → What is “quantum energy”? → What EMFs and other frequencies doing to our health → Benefits of quantum energy → Side effects EMFs can have on the body → How frequencies are causing food allergies and nutrient deficiencies → Ways to use Leela Quantum → The science on how it works → Who can benefit from quantum energy As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at digestthispod@gmail.com.

What does it truly take to disrupt traditional sports and build an organization that puts female athletes first? In this episode, host Emily Abbate sits down with Kayla Green, Acting President of Athlos, fresh off the heels of the groundbreaking Athlos London meet. Kayla pulls back the curtain on the decision-making process behind Athlos, from navigating the difficult late-August cancellation of the New York event to protect athletes’ well-being, to creating a high-energy meet culture combining world-class track and field with entertainment, Tiffany & Co. crowns, and record-breaking prize purses. She shares what she learned as employee number three at Angel City FC, why Athlos grants participating athletes equity in the league, and the advice she’d give anyone waiting for permission to take a leap. IN THIS EPISODE: The Athlos Formula: How Athlos merges elite competition, entertainment (like DJ Trauma trackside), and culture to make track and field accessible and electric for new and seasoned fans alike [source: 1]. Protecting the Athletes: The transparent conversation behind calling off the late-season New York meet to prioritize athletes’ physical recovery after a grueling Olympic season [source: 1]. Speed to Feed & Storytelling: Why Athlos partners with ScorePlay to deliver content directly to athletes' phones immediately post-race so they can own their narratives in real time [source: 1]. Disrupting the Playbook: Lessons carried over from Kayla’s time as founding CMO (employee #3) at Angel City FC—including challenging traditional sponsorship models and introducing the 10% giveback framework [source: 1]. Equity & Ownership: Why Athlos is providing participating athletes with equity in the league, investing in their long-term advisory role, and pushing for pay parity and media equity [source: 1]. Navigating High-Stakes Uncertainty: Kayla’s mindset on operating without a blueprint, finding clarity in your “why,” and why you should never wait for permission to jump into something new [source: 1]. QUOTABLE MOMENTS: “I’m really proud of the times when I said ‘yes,’ or the times when I believed with conviction that going against the status quo was the right thing to do.” “Athletes are our North Star and our fans are our compass. As long as we focus on those two points, everything else falls into place.” “When it comes to the physical toll on these women, especially after an intense championship season, putting their bodies and health first isn’t just the right move—it is the only move.” “You have to have a lot of bravery. You have to have a lot of belief that like, something isn't right, we can ask the question why and try to come up with a better solution.” “Don’t wait. Just jump, just go do it... because the world is moving too fast and we need to be ahead of it.” SOCIAL@athlos@hurdlepodcast@emilyabbate@iheartwomenssports JOIN: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Daily Hurdle IG Channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ SIGN UP: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Weekly Hurdle Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ASK ME A QUESTION: Email hello@hurdle.us to with your questions!
