Bobby Low is a Mental Performance Doctor who helps athletes, teams, and high performers build the mental patterns needed to perform under pressure. As a former NCAA All-American and professional pole vaulter, he learned that performance rarely breaks down due to lack of talent, but because the mind interferes in critical moments. This insight led him to earn a PhD in Sport & Performance Psychology and study how elite performers think and execute when it matters most. He is the author of Wiring Intelligence, a system for developing the mental side of performance. And today, he works with athletes at BYU and across professional sports. In this episode we discuss the following: Most people don't fall short because they lack ability—they fall short because their mind gets in the way. Even if performance is 90% physical, the mental side governs the physical. Our mind isn't just something we “have”—it's something we can train, just like our body. The best performers don't leave their thinking to chance. They build it. They script it. They repeat it. They give themselves clear instructions for how to perform until they've rewired and built positive neural pathways. Not just “I'm the best,” but “See the ball, move your feet, make the catch.” That level of precision is what rewires performance. It all starts with self-awareness, because we can't change what we don't notice. Whether we're an athlete, a leader, a parent, or a student—our thoughts are shaping our outcomes more than we realize. So don't just train harder. Train your mind better. Because we are a product of our repeated thoughts.

In this episode, Zach Shaw and Alejandro Zuniga break down the news that Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel will step down at the end of the calendar year after more than a decade leading the University's athletic department.They open with a look at the timing of the news, which came after a week of outside speculation that Michigan's investigation into the athletic department's culture had found Manuel culpable. They discuss Michigan releasing an abbreviated outline of the findings, and why it's time for Manuel to step down, regardless of the results of this specific investigation. They then pivot to look at Manuel's tenure with Michigan, which began in 2016. They discuss both the high amount of scandals and championships under Manuel's watch, including multiple NCAA investigations, 80 Big Ten titles and national titles in both football and men's basketball. They close with a look at what Michigan should look for in its next athletic director, and how the University should balance the financial and traditional component of the athletic director role.

Most coaches treat quarters as a set of rules that react to what the offense does after the snap. Chad Broadrick treats it as a way to decide, before the ball is ever snapped, which two players he is going to take away.In this episode, the Head Football Coach and Athletic Director at Centennial High School in Tennessee walks through his Cover 7 film and the single question that drives every call in it: how do we double the two guys we are worried about on Friday night? Everything else is built backward from that answer.Broadrick lays out the four buckets he lives in out of Cover 7, which are cones, brackets, triangle concepts, and box concepts, and shows how each one is really just a different tool for getting a double team on the right player. The star and the money carry outside leverage, the safety plays the aggressor on any in-breaking route, and the Mac takes the back. From there it becomes a language: ink and orc to set the corners' press, Seahawk to wall and midpoint a vertical, Connie to keep from getting picked on the rail route, stump and smash rules to the field, cut and buster to trips. For coaches who want a cleaner way to organize their quarters answers instead of memorizing a hundred unrelated checks, this is someone who has done that work.He is also honest about where the coverage lives and dies. Cover 7 can look rough in seven-on-seven, where isolation routes get exposed and there is no rush to bother the quarterback. In a game, with a four-man rush and a plan for who you want doubled, it is a different picture. That is where Broadrick gets animated, because the real value shows up when you build pressure out of the structure. He shows how the same bracket calls turn into simulated pressures and creepers, tracing the back, VTeching the center, and getting a hit on the quarterback while still doubling the vertical routes behind it.The conversation closes in the red area, where cut becomes a two-man concept with trap rules and the corners play as waterfall defenders protecting the goal line, then moves into Turkey and Clifford and when it actually makes sense to dial them up. Matt jumps in from the offensive side to compare it all to Palms, and makes the case that Cover 7 gives a coach more pre-snap structure and control over exactly who gets doubled, without the practice cost that Palms demands.The film gremlins were out in full force during this one, so a few clips fought back, but the ideas came through clearly. If you run any form of quarters and want a smarter way to take a team's best player out of the game, this one is worth your time.This episode is presented by Sideline HQ.Sideline HQ is the equipment and operations management platform built for football programs.

Braden Brown is the Associate Athletic Director for Mental Health at BYU Athletics, where he helps student-athletes navigate both the mental and performance demands of athletics. A Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and Certified Mental Performance Consultant (in training), Braden works with athletes on everything from anxiety and relationships to confidence, focus, and performing under pressure. Before joining BYU, Braden spent four years as Director of Mental Performance and Counseling Services at IUPUI, supporting athletes across all 18 Division I programs. He holds a Ph.D. in Medical Family Therapy from East Carolina University, along with degrees from Utah State and BYU. In this episode we discuss the following: Confidence is helpful—but it's not required. We tend to believe that success starts with feeling ready, feeling certain, feeling like we belong. But Braden's story flips that. He didn't feel like he belonged at BYU. He didn't feel like he belonged in the NFL. He didn't even feel like he was “PhD material.” And yet, he showed up anyway. And when he couldn't believe in himself, he leaned on the belief others had in him. Over time, showing up did what confidence couldn't—it built it. There's also something powerful in how Braden reframes our relationship with emotions. Fear, doubt, anxiety—those aren't signals to stop. They're part of being human. And even top performers feel them. The mistake is letting them drive the car. Like the athlete he described—who felt great and performed poorly, then felt terrible and went out and set a national record. Feelings don't determine performance. So the better question isn't, “Do I feel ready?” It's, “What can I commit to—regardless of how I feel?” Who we are today is not who we'll be in three months—but how we show up today determines who we become. Action doesn't follow confidence. More often, confidence follows action.

The position of Athletic Director has played a key role in the University of North Carolina's pursuit of athletic excellence across 28 sports. Bubba Cunningham's tenure at Carolina's helm spanned a years long NCAA investigation where his leadership and experience resulted in a successful challenge to the NCAA's purview in the area of academics and a continued run of success on the field for many of Tar Heel teams. Inside Carolina senior reporter Greg Barnes joins Tommy Ashley for a look into Cunningham's legacy and his impact in Chapel Hill over the course of the past 15 years. *New Sponsor ZenAI - start your vibecasting now at http://bit.ly/zenAI_bpp_unc Zen.AI is the home of vibecasting, a new way to capture and share conversations.
