In this episode, Simon and Rusty talk with former professional rugby player, cancer ‘thriver', and human-first performance coach, Sam Leeming.Sam's rugby journey began with Newcastle Falcons and flourished at Hartpury University, where he earned a BSc in Sport Performance, multiple England Students caps, and a professional contract. But at just 23, his career was suddenly put on hold when he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. After undergoing intensive chemotherapy, Sam made an inspiring return to professional rugby, a testament to his resilience, discipline, and deep self-awareness.Forced to retire at 25 due to concussion-related injuries, Sam has since dedicated himself to high-performance coaching, helping others unlock performance through a human-first lens.The conversation explores pushing limits, reframing trauma, and the power of play, intention, and integrity. Most importantly, Sam's story is a compelling reminder of how having the right mindset can foster resilience and self-awareness, and as in his case, turn adversity into strength and purpose.Find out more about Sam's journey and connect with him here:Instagram: @samleeming10LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sam-leeming-b55550109/Website: https://samleemingperformance.com In this episode:00:00:00 – Introduction to Sam Leeming: Simon and Rusty set the tone for a conversation on resilience, introducing Sam's journey through major life challenges.00:03:44 – Sam's Early Setbacks: Sam shares how recurring injuries and internal pressure impacted his rugby career and self-worth.00:05:54 – Cancer & Recovery Journey: At 23, Sam faces non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, undergoes chemo, and makes a powerful return to rugby, balancing mental and physical struggles.00:08:25 – Family's Role: Sam highlights the impact of his dad's tough but supportive love in shaping his resilience.00:14:03 – Pushing Past the Limit: His “never enough” mindset led to overexertion, including a seizure during cancer, teaching him the value of rest.00:16:19 – Power of Vulnerability: Sharing his emotional journey created deeper connections and redefined vulnerability as strength.00:21:49 – Choice & Mindset after Trauma: Sam reflects on using trauma as fuel for growth, not a limiting identity.00:26:14 – Coaching & Helping Others: Now a performance coach, Sam draws on his story to help high performers shift mindset and improve mental skills.00:32:08 – Tools for Performance: Talks practical tools like intention-setting, self-awareness, and integrity that guide both his past and current work.00:41:04 – Recovery & Playfulness: Emphasizes world-class recovery and playful habits as keys to sustainable performance and well-being.Please like, subscribe or follow, so you're notified of any new episodes coming up, and if you're keen to reach Rusty or Simon with any suggestions, feedback or comments, you can contact them via the show's LinkedIn page here: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-bouncebackability-podcast/

In this week's episode of The Soaring Child Podcast, host Dana Kay uncovers a surprising root cause of ADHD symptoms that most parents and even practitioners overlook—past head injuries. Joined by neurological occupational therapist and co-founder of NCX Brain Recovery, Nate Pope, the conversation explores the profound and often hidden impact concussions can have on a child's focus, emotional regulation, and behavior. From post-concussion syndrome to powerful recovery therapies, Nate shares his expertise on how to identify these injuries and why they are frequently misdiagnosed as ADHD. Dana Kay, a board-certified holistic health and nutrition practitioner, is passionate about helping families uncover the real reasons behind their child's struggles. Through her ADHD Thrive Institute and expert interviews like this one, she empowers parents with the tools and insights they need to support their children naturally and effectively. Tune in to learn how to tell if your child's ADHD symptoms might actually stem from a past head injury—and what you can do today to help them heal and thrive.  Link Mentioned in the Show:  ADHD Fast Class - https://bit.ly/3GAbFQl Key Takeaways: [2:03] Introduction to Brain Injury and ADHD [2:40] Nate Pope's Expertise and Background [3:08] Differentiating ADHD from Head Trauma [3:17] Symptoms of Post-Concussion Syndrome [5:01] Myths About Concussion Recovery [24:07] Functional Brain Therapy Strategies [28:01] How NCX Brain Recovery Works [27:49] Empowering Families with Practical Tools [28:35] Final Tips for Parents Memorable Moments: “What if the real culprit was something that no one ever told you to check for—a past head injury?” “There's a lot of kids walking around out there that the parents don't know and the kids don't know—but they've got symptoms.” “When your brain's not quite working right, the quality of everything kind of drops.” “Post-concussion syndrome can look a lot like ADHD.” “Our brain can compensate, but it's not designed to do that long term.” “Don't go in a dark place and do nothing—we call it cocooning.” “The brain has a really hard time being imbalanced when you make it process multiple things simultaneously.” “If your focus issues are related to that, then that's one of the best ways to re-engage the areas that are inactive.” “Families are a great vehicle for helping kids change—doing stuff with your kids is powerful.” “You're not imagining things.

Time and again I am blessed with the gift of support. This being friends who guide me, lift me, and comfort me when I need it most. These people did not owe me anything, nor did I ask for their assistance. Yet still they showed up on my doorstep when I was entirely unable or disinterested in helping myself. Quite literally without these humans, I would not be alive today. One such person is Scott Thomson who, unprovoked, suggested I begin a routine including a plethora of supplements to help combat my increasing and worrisome collection of brain injuries. I raced mountainbikes for 17 years including nine seasons as a professional. I also raced off-road motorcycles for 15 years. My two-wheel competitive career initiated in earnest after a 13-year drug addiction. Was I trading one addiction for another? Absolutely. Did I consider racing a step-up improvement from drug abuse? Yes. Did I believe this to be a safer and more sustainable life path? Of course I did. But maybe the route to ease, peace and tranquility is not so rosy. As an ambassador for Cognitive Protocol, I am thankful for Scott Thomson and Dave Zabriskie who have helped to improve my quality life and honestly, have helped to save my life. ~ Roger Ray BirdYou Can't Pedal Through a Concussion. Dave Zabriskie Tried. Now, He's Helping Others Do Better."When you're in the thick of it, survival feels like progress. But sometimes, the most dangerous thing is the illusion that you're okay."— inspired by Jon Krakauer, Into the WildDave Zabriskie knows what it takes to go all in. He spent over a decade on the World Tour, earning his reputation as one of the strongest time trialists the U.S. has ever produced. He won stages at the Tour de France, Giro d'Italia, and Vuelta a España - the first American to do so - and stood atop more than a few podiums. His focus was total. His discipline, relentless.But pro cycling isn't just about victory—it's about endurance in all its forms. The kind the cameras capture, and the kind they don't.In the early days of his career, during a crash at Redlands, Zabriskie was knocked unconscious for 15 minutes. He woke up in a helicopter, disoriented and alone. There were no protocols, no guidance—just a vague notion that if nothing was broken, you got back on the bike. Like most athletes, he did what he was told. Or more accurately, he did what no one told him not to.“It wasn't that we ignored head injuries,” he says now. “It's that nobody really knew what to do with them.”That moment didn't define his career—but it did plant the seed for what would come after. Years later, when the lights of competition had dimmed and the adrenaline wore off, the fog rolled in: memory gaps, mood swings, a dull, persistent feeling that something just wasn't right. And no roadmap for how to fix it.That helplessness—the sense of being a passenger in his own recovery—became the force behind Cognitive Protocol.Founded by Zabriskie and wellness innovator Scott Thomson, Cognitive Protocol is more than a supplement line. It's a system designed to give people agency over their cognitive health—especially in the critical window after head trauma, when most arLook for my books on Amazon, my memoir LIES BETWEEN US, and the addict book:Daddy, Why Were You A Drug Addict?: Winning the War Amid My Angel and Devil Withinby Roger Ray BirdISBN 979-8218286651Available on Amazon for $11Roger's social directory: HERE

Leila Rahimi and Marshall Harris opened their show by listening and reacting to Bears safety Jaquan Brisker's comments about his concussion history.

Through a full decade of pro football — 1990 to 1999 — Leroy Hoard specialized in zapping the will to fight from defenders. His goal? Make you quit by the fourth quarter. The sight of No. 33 in Cleveland and No. 44 in Minnesota barreling through defenses helped define this glory era of the sport itself. Hoard ran with power, speed, attitude. And oh my, he has stories to share. The former NFL running back hangs out on the Go Long Pod to relive it all. During a Pro Bowl season in 1994, Hoard led the Browns to the playoffs with 1,335 total yards and nine touchdowns. Of course, he also remembers the scene in ‘95 when the Browns played their final games at Municipal Stadium. He'd later resurrect his career with the high-flying Vikings of the late 90s. Full audio and video is above, and available within your Apple and Spotify feeds. I'll share the written transcript later today.Topics include…* Life as a running back in the 1990s, from the old AFC Central to the NFC Central.* Growing up in New Orleans' dangerous Ninth Ward.* The worst collision of his football life. * The time the Browns moved from Cleveland to Baltimore. * The time he arrived in Minnesota on a Tuesday, started on Sunday and it felt like living in China. * Concussions. Pain. Life has been hard for Hoard since he retired. Did he have suicidal thoughts? Was he depressed? Hoard explains this empty feeling. * Finding purpose as a radio commentator today at 560 WQAM in South Florida. * Bill Belichick. His former coach in Cleveland has made offseason waves. We get Hoard's thoughts. * Analysis on the Browns today, Kevin Stefanski and the failed Deshaun Watson experiment.

Are you unknowingly sabotaging your client's concussion recovery by doing too much too soon—or doing the wrong “right” thing? Here's the hard truth: even the best rehab tools fall flat when clients lack the capacity to actually use them. And far too often, clinicians mistake “more” for “better,” piling on protocols without pausing to ask if the nervous system can actually handle it. In this episode of The Concussion Nerds Podcast, we're diving into the 3 biggest mistakes that keep both clinicians and clients spinning their wheels—mistakes that leave progress stalled and everyone frustrated. If you've ever wondered why someone “should” be getting better… but isn't? This episode is your lightbulb moment. BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER: Why your client's perceived capacity may not match their actual nervous system capacity—and why that matters The common therapist trap of doing too much, too soon (and how to course correct without losing momentum) How “just keep doing it” exercise advice can backfire—and what to do instead Real-world examples of misdiagnosed exercise intolerance and the nuanced rehab strategies that actually helped Whether you're a clinician or someone walking your own healing path, this episode will challenge you to rethink your approach, slow down with intention, and start working with the nervous system instead of steamrolling it.      

A new ‘sport’ based on rugby tackling without protective equipment has led to the death of a teen in New Zealand. So, what is RunIt Straight, why is it causing so much concern, and what do those behind it need to learn from rugby’s safety standards? We ask Scott Hastings and Apollo Perelini from UAE Rugby, and hear from parents and sports scientists too. Meanwhile, World No Tobacco Day 2025 took place over the weekend – but as new research reveals the UAE’s tobacco use still far exceeds the global average, are we still underestimating the risks to our health?

We also discuss defamation law in the UAE, and Haus & Haus are on hand to discuss the pros and cons of off-plan investment.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What's the architecture of a DMT experience, who are the entities that regularly interact and what's their message? How can DMT therapy facilitate positive mental health outcomes?In this episode we're going to learn about the bizarre types of experience that users of DMT have; DMT being the most powerful hallucinogenic molecule on the planet. So we'll be getting into the background of psychedelics for mental health; and the particularities of DMT, the active ingredient in Ahyuasca and the psychedelic that most often presents entities that interact meaningfully with the experiencer; we're going to discuss the different types of entities: from mythological creatures, to Gods and Demons, to machine elves and aliens, and the significance of these same characters appearing significantly often without an obvious primer; we'll also discuss the importance of mystical experience and teacher /guide experiences to positive mental health outcomes.Fortunately our guest was the head researcher on a 2022 paper that looked at exactly this topic, the medical doctor and sports scientist professor at the University of Toronto, Dr. David Wyndham Lawrence. He's published over 35 scientific papers across sports science and psychedelics for medical use.What we discussed:00:00 Intro05:20 Concussion, sports mental health & psychedelic therapy.08:10 Bringing in Robin Carhartt-Harris on the gaps in sports mental health treatment.12:06 Why psychedelics for those already in psychological difficulty?14:04 Serotonin receptor - neuro-protective mitochondria function.15:00 DMT is endogenous to the brain. 18:20 Medical institution meets shamanism.23:50 David's DMT phenomenology paper.30:10 The architecture of the DMT world.32:60 Mostly positive, interactive entity encounters.37:05 Occasionally negative encounters.38:40 Negative psychedelic experiences study - Jules Evans.40:05 How much “Primers” from pop culture influence experiences.44:00 Alien encounters in %16 of participants.45:30 Medical procedures by entities in 9% of participants.47:05 Mystical experiences in %70 of participants.49:00 Familiarity/ sense of home in the experiences.52:20 Default Mode Network is less active during altered states.48:35 Ego dissolution Vs mystical experience.01:00:00 5meoDMT Vs DMT.01:03:20 Wise teacher experience in 32% of participants.01:05:20 Death bed palliative doses to alleviate fear of death.01:09:50 ‘You're not ready for this experience' message.01:11:05 Theories of DMT experiences evaluated.01:12:20 ”All models are false but some are useful”, anonymous statistician.References: David Lawrence, “Phenomenology and content of inhaled DMT” David Wyndham Lawrence and Robin Carhart-Harris, “Sports Medicine, Mental Health & Well-Being, and Psychedelics” Benny Shanon,  “Antipodies of the Mind”Matthew W.

I share the messages that I think my students need to hear the most when it comes to believing that you can create a perfect dream life where you are free from suffering - because that doesn't actually exist. I also share a lot of big life updates like what happened after I fell and hit my head on my birthday, how I decided to plan and host my first Luxury Retreat here in Tulum, getting invited to sub at a new yoga studio and even meeting a special new romance right here in Tulum… I made a deal with Tulum about one month ago… and Tulum delivered. If you're needing a little bit of inspiration in your life right now, this episode is for you. Because if there is anything that this last month of my life has taught me - it's to keep looking for the magic baby.  ➡️ Get Polarity for People for $22➡️ The Radiant Reset Retreat

Are you overlooking the most important part of your concussion assessments? If you're a clinician working with concussion patients and you're not fully evaluating the neck—you're missing a critical piece of the puzzle. The truth is, many providers stop short when assessing cervical involvement. You might check range of motion, maybe even do some manual therapy—but what about sensory motor control? Joint position sense? Proprioception? These deeper layers of neck function not only impact symptoms like dizziness and disorientation… they can even increase risk for future concussions. But here's the good news: there is a better way to assess and treat the neck—and it's going to radically elevate the way you support your clients with complex concussion.     BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER: Why range of motion and palpation alone are NOT enough to rule out cervical involvement How joint position sense and sensory motor control can impact symptoms like dizziness and eye movement dysfunction Simple clinical tests to help determine whether the neck is driving your client's ongoing symptoms How new research is shaping baseline testing and return-to-play decisions for athletes Whether you're a PT, chiropractor, or clinician supporting clients post-concussion, this episode is packed with tools and insights that will help you go deeper in your assessments and get your clients better, faster.

This week on the Science for Sport Podcast, host Richard Graves sits down with former Leeds Rhinos captain Stevie Ward, a man who went from teenage prodigy to Grand Final winner, only to have his career cut short by concussion at just 27. In this powerful and deeply human conversation, Stevie opens up about: - What it's really like debuting alongside your childhood heroes - The fear and thrill of running out at Wembley at 18 - The brutal highs and lows of elite performance, injury, and recovery - How fear, when embraced, can unlock peak performance - The emotional toll of early retirement and how he's rebuilding his identity beyond sport But this isn't just a story of sport. It's about leadership, mental health, emotional intelligence, and what it means to be truly vulnerable, in a dressing room, a boardroom, or everyday life. Whether you're an athlete, coach, sports scientist, manager or just someone navigating life's transitions, Stevie's story is packed with insight and inspiration and how to lead with authenticity. About Stevie Ward Stevie is a former professional rugby player and part of the golden generation at the Leeds Rhinos, one of the most successful teams in Super League history. Stevie became the youngest grand final winner ever, going on to win two more Grand Finals and 2 Challenge Cups, and was named captain at just 26. Amongst the highs, Stevie endured ten operations and several mental health struggles. This adversity inspired Stevie to launch Mantality in 2016 to promote mental health for men through counselling, life-coaching services, and a stigma-breaking podcast.

The laughter starts at the very beginning this week. Mike is a brilliant storyteller with a particularly compelling voice, and he makes Renée laugh - a lot. But don't let his buoyant humor fool you: Mike has been through it. "I would just sit at home and cry," he explains of the long stretches of time in his life when he has been lost in emotional pain. To make matters more difficult, Mike cannot pinpoint the exact source of his distress. He and Renée sort through the delusions, depressions, and difficulties that have defined his three decades of life and find that there is likely a complicated knot of childhood trauma, intergenerational trauma, and neurological injury that led to Mike's unusual symptoms - and ultimately to his psychotic break. They talk masculinity, mania, mushrooms, dreams, diagnoses, and more while Renée organizes Mike's experiences and symptoms, finally pulling it all together into a unique formulation. This one is different in the best possible way, thanks largely to Mike's engaging personality, beautiful candor, and excellent insight. Plus, Renée makes an exciting announcement in the intro and answers some listener questions about trauma and memory. This one is equal parts learning and laughter, just the way we like it.Support the show
