Jerry plays ‘Between The Ears of Boomer' to get his thoughts on the top topics of the day.
Jerry plays ‘Between The Ears of Boomer' to get his thoughts on the top topics of the day. We talked about the Mets adding JD Martinez as a DH, Kentucky losing to Oakland, the Rangers winning again last night. A caller wonders about Trevor Bauer's future. C-Lo returns for his final update of the day but first we talked about a sponsor on our stream called spermbank.com. C-Lo went around the NCAA tournament yesterday. The Moment of The Day involves Andrew Bogusch being on the call for the Nets. In the final segment of the show, Al did a Twitter poll asking if you play golf, guitar, both or neither. That got Boomer back into LIV Golf talk and how he will never go see that and he thinks the TV ratings are terrible.
Hour 1 Boomer & Jerry touched on a lot of different topics in the first segment: The Mets signed JD Martinez, Kentucky got upset in the NCAA tournament, the Rangers had a big win and Boomer thinks Al's office is messy. In Oakland's upset of Kentucky, Jack Gohlke hit ten 3-pointers. C-Lo returns for an update but first Jerry had a terrible round of golf yesterday in 28 degree weather. The Mets signed J.D. Martinez to a 1-year deal. Francisco Lindor was called for obstruction of second base on a steal attempt by the Tigers. C-Lo also updated us on the Ohtani/interpreter/gambling situation. Boomer said Jack Gohlke of Oakland looks like more of a man than Al. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about the controversial call in the Samford/Kansas game. Hour 2 We took calls on the refs in the Samford/Kansas game. Jerry wants to know if Boomer has any upset specials for today in the NCAA tournament. We also talked about young guys retiring, like JJ Watt and Aaron Donald. Jerry wonders if Boomer ever thinks about what he's accomplished in his life. C-Lo returns for an update and starts with Oakland beating Kentucky. Jack Gohlke of Oakland said they're ‘not a cinderella'. We heard from Evan Washburn talking to John Calipari after the loss. In the final segment of the hour, Steve in Atlanta said he's going to his first Rangers game tomorrow and he's sitting in bougie seats. A caller said Chris Kreider disappears in the playoffs. Hour 3 We talked about safe foods to eat before you get on a plane so you don't have any bathroom issues. Jerry goes through some new food offerings at Citi Field. We also talked about the Shohei Ohtani situation and speculated on what went down. We took calls from people saying what foods are safe to eat on a plane and which are not. C-Lo returns for an update, but first, Boomer wants Jerry and Evan to do a Nets game on the radio. Last night Andrew Bogusch got to do a game and C-Lo has some sound. Sal Licata was excited the Mets finally got a real DH in JD Martinez. Mike Francesa mushed Kentucky and McNeese State. In the final segment of the hour, Jerry is impressed with the top six in the Yankees lineup today. Hour 4 Jerry plays ‘Between The Ears of Boomer' to get his thoughts on the top topics of the day. We talked about the Mets adding JD Martinez as a DH, Kentucky losing to Oakland, the Rangers winning again last night. A caller wonders about Trevor Bauer's future. C-Lo returns for his final update of the day but first we talked about a sponsor on our stream called spermbank.com. C-Lo went around the NCAA tournament yesterday.

For many, hitting the gym day is a way to relieve the stresses of the day. But are we actually paying attention to and working on why those stresses are there in the first place, or are we just using the voluntary “noise” to drown them out for a while? Perhaps, what once was a stress-reliever has now become just another source of mental clutter all its own and produces more negativity. Between The Ears, founded by Karianne and Bill Anthes, teaches and guides you on strengthening yourself from the inside, breaking through mental barriers and self-made obstacles, and helps set you on a path to realizing progress and truly improving your life. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jason-ackerman/support
Christina’s guest today is Bill Anthes, Green Beret and founder of Between The Ears, a performance coaching organization that endeavors to build better humans. Bill Anthes does not hang his hat on his military experience. He actually prefers not to emphasize it, but it is a part of who he is and his life experience. Don't be misled though. Bill's military experience did not make him the person he is today. Bill is naturally a higher thinker and this path was one he started long ago. In this episode, we talk about… Bill's military experience (what it did for him and what it didn't do) Why the "Green Beret" status does not define who he is Why “mental toughness” is a fiction Awareness and how it fundamentally impacts everything we do Projects Bill has in the works right now (Bill has since announced the opening of Between The Ears Fitness) Why coaching templates are problematic What's on Bill's bookshelf that you have to read! Living in two opposing worlds at the same time (military life vs. family life) Everybody can’t be both a follower and a leader at the same time We dissect leadership what it really means to be a leader Responding to massive failure determines how you learn Whether Bill feels he has found his life's purpose and what else is in store for him Putting Bill on the spot with a Proust Questionnaire!

Bill Anthes has been a go-getter since he was a young boy who dreamed of being in the Special Forces. After serving his country, Bill started his company “Between The Ears” to teach others how to use their mindsets, fitness, and journaling to achieve success in their lives. Joey and Bill also talk about how important it is to surround yourself with a strong support system and how Michael Jordan is the type of role model that more young people need.
The challenges of active-duty military life are extreme, but readjusting to life back home presents an entirely new set of challenges... Veteran, badass, and all-around good-dude Bill Anthes from Between The Ears and CrossFit Morristown sits down with us to help explain how understanding the process of change that's required to develop the skills you need in combat, can help you to understand how to begin to move forward after returning home. Bill has continued to serve by guiding Veterans and many others through their own process with his business, Between The Ears.

The way I met U.S. Army Veteran, Travis Manion Foundation Mentor and Mental Health Professional, Vince Ruiz was confirmation that there are no accidents in life. Vince and I met at the first ever Between The Ears “Link-Up,” which was founded by one of my former guests and mentors, Bill Anthes. Vince and his buddy just happened to hop in my truck as we car-pooled to a local hiking trail near the Phoenicia Diner in upstate NY. Vince had heard of my podcast from his prior interactions with Bill and started asking me questions about it at the base of the trailhead when we arrived. I began to explain how I interview injured athletes and discuss the transition to life after sports. Without hesitation, Vince followed up on my description with almost a correction of my wording by saying something like “Right on, the TRANSFORMATION.” Although I had heard this one word (TRANSFORMATION) 1000 times, for whatever reason hearing it come from Vince really struck a cord with me on this day. I had been hosting this podcast and recorded over 150 interviews and had never heard anyone put it that way. In my mind, a transition requires one to only just go through the motions and it makes the situation seem out of your control. On the contrary, I believe “Transformation” stands for growth through action. I love looking at an athletes life after sports from the latter lens. The more I thought about the word, the more I realized how it applied to my own transformation, which was a direct result of starting this podcast and seeking the answers from those who had been there before me, while also shining a light into the darkness for those struggling after me. In this episode, Vince shines an even brighter light into the darkness of the life after sports by taking us through the story of his own struggles with PTSD and addiction after retiring from the military and how he is paying it forward today through the Travis Manion Foundation.

Geo Wade and Diella Siemens are both amazing people. In addition to holding down regular jobs and being parents and spouses like “the rest of us” they are also ultra-endurance athletes, although they don’t really like to admit it. In Fitspeek 24 Diella tells us about her first experience of “going-long” when she decided to walk home from work one day (from Vancouver to Port Coquitlam). Since then she has tackled her first half Ironman distance triathlon, developed a healthy interest in long-distance cycling and is preparing to do another ultra marathon. Geo Wade discovered in the Victoria Half Ironman that 2 K of swimming was just an appetizer and had an appetite for more. Last year he completed a non-stop bike ride from Port Hardy to Victoria. This year he attempted the swim from the Mainland to Nanaimo. Geo and Diella are great examples of what Fitspeek is all about, ordinary people doing extraordinary things. In addition to our feature interview we also have our usual features including Kevin Watt’s Social Media Shout Outs, Zack Neufeld’s Between The Ears, and I have your Top 3 heath trends of 2017.

Bill Anthes is a Green Beret, Co-Owner of CrossFit Motown, a 2015 inductee into Montclair State University's Athletics Hall of Fame for his superior performance on the soccer field, and Founder of "Between the Ears." The name Between the Ears draws it's inspiration from a quote stated by CrossFit founder, Greg Glassman, when he said "the greatest adaptation to CrossFit takes place between the ears." That adaptation being mental toughness and specifically referring to the power of putting yourself in uncomfortable situations. We talk a lot about the athlete transition on this podcast which is often compared to a soldiers shift back to civilian life. The creation of Between the Ears has been a part of Bill's difficult transition to civilian life (which we discuss in the interview) and it is intended to provide voluntary opportunities for people to put themselves in controlled, yet uncomfortable situations that foster personal growth as a team. I have always prided myself on being mentally tough, so you could say I was pretty confident going into my first Between the Ears (004) Evolution. From now through the remainder of this post, I will refer the Between the Ears as "BTE." Evolution - any process of formation or growth; development. You can find the word "Evolution" written 64 times in the BTE waiver. As most people do, I didn't actually read the waiver before I signed my life away so I missed all the signs that foreshadowed the most important personal transformation I have ever experienced. Although most BTE evolutions are unique from one another, I will not reveal the specifics of BTE 004 to maintain its purity for future classes. Bill and I discuss the power of going into something completely blind of what lies ahead. However, I will say that if you are proud of your Tough Mudder headband collection or your Spartan Race medals, the feeling of accomplishment I felt after doing BTE 004 made everything else I'd done before that pale in comparison. And guess what? I quit. I cried. I tapped out. I didn't even finish. I thought long and hard after making the decision to pull myself out of the BTE 004 Evolution and honestly it was the best learning experience I've ever encountered. Below are my thoughts on my personal evolution, which I sent to Bill after taking a few days to soak-in my thoughts and emotions (READ CAPTIONS): Hi Bill, Honestly, I haven't been able to stop thinking about last weekend. The poem, the idea of engaging aggressively in its relation to "toughness", the added weight of the extra baggage we carry around with us, and obviously my decision to pull myself out of the evolution. When I was reading this email on Monday I had to fight back the tears once again (I obviously don't win this fight often). Although I am a crier, I have never been so powerfully impacted by an experience like I was by Between The Ears 004. The idea of toughness has been something that I have been obsessed with for most of my life. I always wanted people to think I was "tough." Toughness to me used to mean playing injured, lifting the heaviest weight, hitting home runs and scoring touchdowns. Despite my effort to prove this definition of toughness, I felt I was never tough enough. In the process I played an entire week's worth of football with a bleeding brain and nearly killed myself. I tried to be tough to an extent that almost killed me and I still felt that my efforts weren't enough. Ther

Toughness to me used to mean playing injured, lifting the heaviest weight, hitting home runs and scoring touchdowns. Despite my effort to prove this definition of toughness, I felt I was never tough enough. In the process I played an entire week's worth of football with a bleeding brain and nearly killed myself. I tried to be tough to an extent that almost killed me and I still felt that my efforts weren't enough. Therefore I continued to push myself to extreme limits for what is now 9 years striving to be what I thought was "tough." It took awhile, but my knee was eventually impacted by this mindset as well. The same knee that was begging me not to take another step, when my brain was telling it "you're a sissy." "In my experience, we rarely learn the deepest and most powerful lessons by examining the surface. We need to go to the deepest depths, not to find the answers, but to ask the questions. The answers, as we find out, are not always what we may want them to be. At the surface, potentially we answer these questions completely opposite of what the true answer really is." -Bill Anthes I have been asking myself a lot of questions in reflecting about the decisions I made during the evolution. It was seriously a life-changing experience for me. Going into this you told us to think about our "why." My why was to prove that although my body can't do what it used to or what I want it to do athletically (because of my knee), I still have the same mind and determination that I have always had. Looking back on it now, that why is exactly what has destroyed my body and tormented my self-worth for as long as I can remember. At the surface, I really did answer my question completely opposite to what the true answer turned out to be or what I wanted it to be. "When we strip away the armor, the muscle, the ego, the defenses and are left exposed, we do not always love what we see...and that is ok. The 'toughness' piece is deciding to engage. Committing to the first step towards improving and taking it, aggressively. This is a decision that you can make, because you always have a choice, no matter what". - Bill Anthes I'll never forget when you had us stop and you told us that we were getting lazy with our movements and were just going through the motions feeling bad for ourselves. I took that to heart because I did find myself just trying to "survive" (can't think of a better word) out there. That's not tough. Anyone can do that and most people do. Like you said when we first began, toughness is deciding to engage, committing to the first step toward improving and taking it AGGRESSIVELY and we always have that choice. Toughness wasn't playing with a separated shoulder or concussion. Toughness was deciding to make my commitment to the football team and taking every step and every rep aggressively and with a purpose. I was and I am tough. The best thing about toughness is that we are in control. I can't thank you enough for providing me with an experience to evolve. I'm not sure what was harder, coming up to you and trying to get the words out that I couldn't go any further or seeing everyone as they finally arrived at the end. The old thoughts of doubt in myself started creeping in. Did I really earn this patch? Coin? Backpack? Breakfast sandwich? Or did I cop out by not sticking with the group. I wasn't the only one who was feeling like shit. Did I take the easy way out by having K (Bill's wife) pick me up, so I didn't have to watch the group do the work I should've be doing? Honestly, for the first time I don't think so. My knee was hurting worse than ever before and I actually listened to what my body was telling me. Was it the answer or the outcome I wanted? Not even close. Was it the best lesson I ever learned. 100%. No one looked at me differently or down to me because I didn't finish with the group. That's because toughness is the decision to engage and taking every step toward improving aggressively. I literally couldn't take an aggressive step. Sincerely, Kevin BTE Class 004 Choosing to continue on the journey with a bum knee would not have been making an aggressive step towards improving. I have already proven I can do that, time and time again. I've also proved those decisions have never led to anything positive, I just didn't want to believe it. My hope is that this episode shows athletes that playing injured isn't tough. It doesn't lead to the glory, the girls or the accolades that Hollywood and ESPN portrays it to be. YOU control if you are tough or not. Did you dog-it on the play to the other side of the field? Did you slow down before the finish line on that sprint? Did you put your head down after the opposing team ran the kickoff back for 6? If the answer is no, then you ARE tough and no coach, teacher, parent, teammate, classmate or anyone can take that away from you. WHERE CAN YOU FIND BILL?
