If you're a woman in perimenopause, menopause, or beyond and you've heard that strength training is important but aren't sure where power training, jumping, and plyometrics fit in, this episode is a must-listen. We sit down with plyometrics expert and PhD researcher Matt McInnes Watson to explore why midlife women need more than just lifting weights to support bone density, balance, mobility, fall prevention, healthy aging, and long-term independence. Matt breaks down the science behind plyometric training, tendon health, force production, reaction time, and how explosive movement can help women stay strong, capable, and athletic for decades to come.In this fascinating conversation, Matt explains why power is one of the first physical qualities we lose with age, how plyometrics improve bone health, muscle function, coordination, cognitive performance, and injury resilience, and why traditional exercise programs often miss this critical piece of the longevity puzzle. You'll learn the difference between strength and power, why learning new movement skills is so important for brain health, and how simple activities like skipping, hopping, bounding, and multidirectional movement can improve everything from athletic performance to everyday confidence.Whether you're looking to build stronger bones during menopause, improve balance and stability, prevent falls, increase athleticism, boost cycling or running performance, or simply move through life with more energy and confidence, this episode provides practical, evidence-based strategies you can start using today. Matt shares beginner-friendly approaches to plyometric training, how to safely build tissue capacity, and why adding speed, power, and reactive movement to your fitness routine may be one of the most powerful investments you can make for healthy aging, longevity, osteoporosis prevention, and lifelong strength.Be First in Line for Shred Happens: Our popular 6-week challenge for shredding fat and building muscle starts October 18.

Former Premier League and England Footballer Joleon Lescott and Futsal and Football Veteran and Coach Rob Ursell sat down with Sean Conlon, CEO of We Make Footballers, to settle a heated Instagram debate that started after a clip of Rob's comments on futsal and player development went viral. What follows is a deep, no-holds-barred conversation about why Spain keeps winning — and why England might not, no matter how much money it spends.⚽ The Bukayo Saka vs Nani debate — Jolean challenges Rob's original comparison whether receiving the ball well is really about individual skill - or the players and instructions around you.⚽ Futsal's real role in Spanish development — does futsal genuinely develop greater game intelligence, or is Spain's success more about specialised positional training from a young age?⚽ Athleticism vs game intelligence in academies — why English recruitment prioritizes physically dominant kids at young ages, and what that costs England in the long run⚽ England's World Cup heartbreak — an honest look at the semi-final loss to Argentina, Spain's dominance, and whether England's population and investment should guarantee more success⚽ Fixing the system — Lescott's blueprint for individualized "development sessions" over generic team coaching, plus a candid discussion on why Ashley Cole hasn't been given a head coaching role despite his pedigreeDoes futsal really make Spanish players smarter — or is it something else entirely? And are we identifying the right young players in England in the first place?Project Footballer is the voice of youth football, bringing together experts, coaches and industry leaders to explore the biggest issues shaping player development.Don't forget to like, subscribe, and hit the notification bell to stay updated on future episodes.

Becoming a better chiropractor means knowing which part of your practice needs more of your attention—the art, science, philosophy, or business. Dr. Lona and Dr. Andrew Alekna break down these four interconnected pillars and explore what happens when one develops faster than the others. Andrew shares why adjusting came naturally to him while business required intentional work, systems, coaching, and mentorship. They also look at the role philosophy plays in developing certainty, why understanding the science is different from being able to communicate it, and how continued training strengthens what happens both at the table and throughout the practice. Rather than assuming experience will automatically make you better, this conversation offers a practical way to audit where you are today. Identify the pillar that feels least developed, find people who are already strong there, and deliberately build the skills needed to create a practice that is both deeply chiropractic and capable of growing. Key Highlights 02:08 – Meet the four areas worth continually developing if you want to become a more complete chiropractor. 03:00 – Consider what gets lost when practice growth moves faster than your development in the fundamentals of chiropractic. 05:27 – Andrew's adjusting journey offers a useful look at natural ability versus the skills that still require years of refinement. 07:08 – Explore the philosophical journey that can take you from knowing chiropractic works to developing certainty in the way you personally practice. 09:34 – Athleticism may offer an unexpected advantage when developing the precision, speed, and body awareness required for adjusting. 12:26 – Andrew reveals the pillar that challenged him most—and the limitation he discovered when “winging it” was no longer enough. 14:21 – A useful place to look when chiropractic school hasn't prepared you for the realities of running a practice. 15:20 – “Success leaves clues” becomes a practical strategy for strengthening the areas where you know you're falling short. 16:29 – Try looking at these four pillars as a foundation before focusing on everything you want to build on top of them. 17:28 – Applying a familiar chiropractic principle to your business may change the way you look at stalled practice growth. 18:43 – Andrew's weakest area eventually became one of the most systematized parts of his practice. 20:31 – Patient communication adds another dimension to the art of chiropractic that technical knowledge alone doesn't teach. 22:04 – Use four practical audit points to identify where your art, philosophy, science, or business needs more work. 24:03 - Bringing X-ray imaging in-house can improve more than convenience. It can strengthen the entire patient care pathway. Dr. Timay speaks with John Conidi from Success Partner Next Healthcare about radiology reporting, reducing medico-legal risk, improving access to follow-up imaging, and helping Australian chiropractors deliver more timely care while creating additional value within their practices.

Relying only on low-impact exercise can leave you more fragile as you age, because your bones and connective tissue need impact to stay strong. Graham Tuttle, a coach, the author of Born to Sprint, and the self-styled Barefoot Sprinter, argues that sprinting, jumping, and throwing are the real markers of a healthy body at any age, and that stripping impact out of your training in the name of safety quietly erodes the very capacity it is meant to protect. In this conversation, Graham and Coach Allan get into why impact signals your bones and your brain that they are still needed, how training barefoot restores feedback and movement most of us have lost, the story of Graham coaching his own father to run again 15 years into a Parkinson's diagnosis, and his 10% rule for reintroducing impact safely when you are starting from badly out of shape. Time Stamps: 06:00 Trusting the body's natural design 07:44 Poor eyesight, lifting for looks, and losing body connection 12:27 Rethinking the reductionist physical-therapy model 13:42 Fascia, movement patterns, and the whole body 17:57 Why impact keeps the body and brain online 20:51 How the muscle system manages force 24:04 Physical limitation and how you perceive the world 30:23 Impact, hormones, bones, and the brain 32:56 His father's Parkinson's and rethinking fitness 35:55 Finding purpose and meaning in older age 39:44 Jeffy: starting from ground zero 41:12 The philosophy of sprinting 46:44 Using impact to shake things loose 48:25 Rebuilding movement patterns from the ground up 54:03 Sprinter swinging and plyometrics 55:01 Restoring the ability to sprint Links: Graham Tuttle's book, Born to Sprint: Unlock Your Natural Strength, Speed, and Athleticism: https://amzn.to/4xzlCqa Graham's website: https://thebarefootsprinter.com/ Graham on YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, TikTok, and Instagram: The Barefoot Sprinter Coach Allan's book, The Wellness Roadmap: https://amzn.to/3U1xEdn

In this episode, Daniel Back gets into the role of variety, play, and subconscious learning in developing speed and athleticism. He discusses resisted sprinting, why he avoids over-coaching acceleration mechanics, lessons from the dunk community, and the value of broad movement experience. Dan also explores extensive tempo, longer sprints, training volume, and why specialization and constant measurement can sometimes limit long-term athletic development.

Start your free trial at trainheroic.comThe Core Four — Four Cognitive Traps Killing Military Human PerformanceDrew and Alex gave a standing-room-only breakout at the H2F Symposium on this. Now they have time to actually unpack it. Four heuristics that show up everywhere in military human performance — and in every human-run organization. You can't escape them, but you can at least recognize them. What we get into:Goodhart's Law — when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure. The AFT was designed to signal readiness. The moment it became an incentivized metric, people started optimizing the score instead of the fitness. Same thing happened in Vietnam with body counts. The cure: use multiple metrics, reward more than test scores, and acknowledge what the assessment was actually supposed to tell you.McNamara Fallacy — only what can be quantified matters. The first step is measuring what's easy. The second is disregarding what can't be measured. The third is assuming the unmeasurable isn't important. The fourth is deciding it doesn't exist. Sound familiar? Social cohesion, trust, culture, the music playing in the gym — none of these show up on a dashboard. All of them matter enormously. Every minute a coach spends measuring is a minute they spend not coaching.Hammond's Corollary — what gets measured gets managed, but what most needs managing isn't always measurable. The soldier with a perfect AFT score who can't pick up a ruck without throwing out his back. Fitness versus capability. Athleticism versus fitness. You know it when you see it — and just because you can't put it on a graph doesn't mean it doesn't exist.Nazareth syndrome — no man is a prophet in his own home. The one place Jesus got the most skepticism was Nazareth, because they knew him as the carpenter. The embedded human performance team dealing with real constraints gets ignored. The outside consultant with slick branding and a two-day seminar gets the senior leader's full attention. You can't eliminate this one — but you can use it to your advantage.Mentioned in this episode:Drew's article — The Death of Periodization at mopsandmoes.comChris Frankel — assessment framework: camera, map, crystal ball, engineVF Ridgway, 1956 — the actual origin of "what gets measured gets managed"Justice Potter Stewart, 1964 — the porn quote.

This episode of The C.L. Brown Show features a pair of ACC starting quarterbacks in Louisville's Lincoln Kienholzand Syracuse's Steve Angeli. Kienholz wants to get the word out now, there's nothing sneaky about his athleticism. He's not a stereotypical pocket passer and explains how he's trying to make sure there's a balance between pulling the ball down to run and holding onto the ball to throw at the last moment. Lamar Jackson's program rushing totals are safe, but UofL coach Jeff Brohm said Kienholz was the most mobile quarterback he's ever had as a head coach including his stops at Western Kentucky and Purdue. Angeli discusses his road back from injury and gives insight into his former teammate at Notre Dame, who is now the projected starting quarterback at Kentucky, Kenny Minchey. Hear about that and more on this week's episode of The C.L. Brown Show. A new episode of this podcast, hosted by Courier Journal sports columnist C.L. Brown, posts each Wednesday.

In today's episode, I sat down with Lara Morgan Lee, MD, a board-certified sports medicine physician and former team doctor for elite professional and collegiate athletes, to talk about what happens when we apply a sports medicine approach to motherhood. We dive into the gaps that still exist in postpartum healthcare and why returning to function requires more than a six-week clearance. Dr. Morgan shares why the same principles we use to rehabilitate and support athletes—structured progressions, coaching, and multidisciplinary care—need to be part of the conversation for moms, too. This conversation is a reminder that supporting mothers can't fall on one coach, clinician, or provider. It takes collaboration and a willingness to rethink the way we approach maternal health and athletic performance.

Key Topics: 2025 Draft Breakdown Not a single Canadian goalie drafted in the top 15 of the 2025 NHL Draft. Russia had 7 goalies drafted. Czech Republic had 6. The first Canadian goalie taken was Elliott Lennon in the 4th round, and he was US developed out of prep school. The guys break down what the numbers actually mean and what they don't. The Russian Model Russia identifies top goalies around age 11-12, places them near a developmental pathway (MHL, VHL, KHL), and brings them together for centralized camps several times a year to work on shared issues. The result is ultra-athletic goalies with a built-in pro pathway. North America has no equivalent. Goalie coaches don't collaborate. There is no standardized model. What Scouts Are Actually Buying Technique is teachable at the pro level. Athleticism, skating ability, and tracking ability are not. Scouts are drafting ceiling. That means size (6-foot-1 was reportedly the smallest goalie drafted) and raw athleticism matter more than technical polish at the draft stage. The COVID Factor The 2013 Ontario goalie birth year may be the worst in provincial history. Those kids were 8-9 years old during key development years and lost roughly a season and a half of minor hockey. This draft is the first wave. It will continue for several more years before it resolves. Sports Specialization and Burnout Jamie argues that burnout doesn't come from playing too much hockey. It comes from pressure. A kid playing summer hockey as a centerman with zero stakes is not burning out. A kid in Triple A baseball under the same win-at-all-costs pressure after eight months of Triple A hockey is burning out from the mindset, not the sport. Booge adds nuance from the applied coaching side, landing on athlete-led specialization, supported by off-ice athletic development and fun-based multi-sport activity. Over-Coaching and the "Science" Trend Both coaches push back on the trend of over-analyzing goalie mechanics with biomechanical tools and angle measurements on video. Buj example: a goalie with a blocker foot slightly behind him. The fix was a simple feel-based cue. "Push your blocker foot forward. It'll feel weird. That's fine." Solved in one rep. No iPad required. The concern is analysis paralysis and coaching athletes out of their natural feel. There is also a pointed critique of making "silly" warm-up drills appear scientific for content performance. Goalie Power Skating Jamie has brought in a dedicated power skating coach for his goalie group. The result: outside edge work that exposes how over-coached most older goalies are on inversion and inside edges. The younger goalies pick it up easier. The 15-17 year olds struggle and resist. Outside edge development gets a strong endorsement for long-term skating quality and puck retrieval ability. Pad Stiffness and Glove Angle Parting shot hot take: if you are not a fast, flexible lateral skater, you should not be in a soft pad. Soft pads require the athlete to control rebounds. Stiff pads do it for you. Match equipment to your athletic profile, not brand preference. Glove break angle deserves the same consideration.

Athena appears to Princess Nausicaa in a dream and inspires her to go wash clothes at the river with her handmaids. Odysseus awakens, naked and brine-covered, and approaches the princess cautiously. He flatters her with rhetorical skill (comparing her to Artemis), requests aid without grasping her knees, and bathes privately. Nausicaa, showing courage, wit, and political savvy, provides him clothes, food, and careful instructions on how to approach the palace and supplicate her mother, Queen Arete, while avoiding gossip. The book ends with Odysseus praying to Athena in a sacred grove.Book 7 SummaryGuided invisibly by Athena, Odysseus enters the splendid, utopian palace of King Alcinous and Queen Arete. He supplicates the queen as instructed, pleading for passage home. The court is initially stunned into silence until an elder prompts hospitality. Odysseus is bathed, feasted, and given a seat of honor. Queen Arete recognizes her daughter's clothing and questions him; he recounts his arrival but omits some divine help. King Alcinous offers generous hospitality, promises to convey him home, and even subtly proposes marriage to Nausicaa (which Odysseus sidesteps). The Phaeacians are portrayed as peaceful, technologically advanced, and god-kin, living in an Edenic setting.Book 8 SummaryThe next day features athletic games, feasting, and bardic performance. A young Phaeacian (Broadsea) taunts Odysseus, prompting him to compete and win the discus throw, demonstrating his prowess. The bard Demodocus sings of the Trojan War (stirring Odysseus to tears) and the comic adultery of Ares and Aphrodite (trapped by Hephaestus's craft), which Odysseus enjoys. More gifts and dancing follow. Nausicaa bids Odysseus a quiet, flirtatious farewell. Alcinous finally asks his name, setting up the hero's full tale in the next books. The episode underscores themes of hospitality, craft over brute strength, and Odysseus's emotional vulnerability.Check out our 2024 playlist on the Odyssey too!KeywordsOdyssey Books 6-8 summary, Odyssey Books 6-8 analysis, Nausicaa and Odysseus, Phaeacians Homer, King Alcinous Queen Arete, Nausicaa beach scene, Odysseus Nausicaa temptation, guest friendship xenia Odyssey, Phaeacian utopia, Homer Odyssey podcast, Ascend Great Books Odyssey, Odysseus Nausicaa rhetorical exchange, Hephaestus Aphrodite song Odyssey, Odysseus weeping simile, Odysseus Alcinous marriage proposal, Phaeacian ships technology, Calypso vs Nausicaa, Odyssey Book 8 games bard, Odysseus craft over strength, Deacon Harrison Garlick Odyssey, Frank Grabowski Odyssey, Porch and Altar Substack.

In this episode, I'm joined by Doug Latta and Dr. Ismael Gallo for a deep dive into one of the most misunderstood areas of baseball: player development.We break down why most hitters struggle—not because of mechanics, but because of flawed movement patterns that are developed early and reinforced over time. From youth baseball to the highest levels of the game, this conversation challenges a lot of conventional thinking around hitting, training, and long-term development.Doug shares insights from decades of working with hitters at every level, while Dr. Gallo explains the science behind movement, coordination, and how the body actually learns to perform in game environments.If you're a player, parent, or coach trying to understand what really matters in development, this episode will give you a completely different lens to look through.Chapters00:00 The Foundation of Movement Patterns in Young Athletes07:10 The Importance of Early Development in Athleticism10:19 Guiding Parents in Youth Baseball Training10:51 Throwing Mechanics: The Key to Hitting Success18:30 Balancing Mechanics and Athleticism in Hitting24:53 The Debate on Hitting Off the Tee32:46 The Importance of Efficient Movement Patterns35:38 Understanding Movement in Hitting and Pitching38:18 The Role of Timing and Vision in Hitting44:09 Movement Capacity vs. Strength Training48:54 The Dangers of Muscling Up in Hitting54:49 Advice on Bat Speed Training and Weighted Implements01:00:15 The Significance of Timing in Hitting01:07:42 Understanding Player Development and Movement Patterns01:10:15 The Psychological Impact of Failure in Sports01:14:12 Parental Influence and Support in Youth Sports01:15:50 Coaching Your Own Kids: Balancing Roles01:19:01 The Importance of Athletic Flow and Energy01:24:40 Navigating Parental Expectations and Player Performance01:29:37 The Role of Coaches and the Learning Process01:37:08 Life Lessons from Baseball: Embracing Failure and GrowthDoug Latta Twitter: https://x.com/LattaDougDr. Ismael Gallo Twitter: https://x.com/flowsdocMovement Flows App: https://baseballflows.com/ Hosted on Acast.
