THE BRIAN BAILEY SHOW WITH FORMER ECU FOOTBALL STRENGTH COACH JEFF CONNORS by Pirate Radio

What happens when you bring a basketball, a Gospel message, and a willingness to talk to whoever God puts in your path? In New York City, Stu and Jesse Connors head to a basketball court and have an unexpected divine appointment with three young men Jonathan, Joseph, and Daniel.They share the message of Jesus, pray with the guys, and introduce them to a simple card designed to help people discover the truth about God. This powerful encounter is a reminder that sharing your faith doesn't require a stage, sometimes it just takes showing up, starting a conversation, and being willing to say, "God loves you."

Jimmy Connors capped off a dominant tennis season by capturing the 1976 U.S. Open, defeating rival Björn Borg 6-4, 3-6, 7-6, 6-4 in a thrilling four-set final at Forest Hills, a result that snapped Borg's 19-match winning streak and improved Connors' career head-to-head record against him to 6-1. It marked the second of what would eventually become five U.S. Open titles for Connors, cementing his place among the sport's all-time greats, tied for the most Open-era U.S. Open championships alongside future legends Pete Sampras and Roger Federer. The victory earned Connors the cover of the September 20, 1976 issue of Sports Illustrated, capturing him at the height of his powers and popularity as, in many ways, the toast of New York. On the women's side of things, Chris Evert delivered one of the most dominant performances in U.S. Open history that same year, capturing her second title at Forest Hills by winning all six of her matches by a staggering combined score of 72-13. Her run extended a clay-court winning streak pushing toward 101 consecutive victories, closing out the tournament with a lopsided 6-3, 6-0 defeat of Evonne Goolagong in the final. Evert herself described feeling "spacey" throughout the week — a state many athletes would recognize as being fully "in the zone" — and her dominance was so complete that it sparked genuine debate about a growing talent gap in the women's game, commentary Evert brushed off even as observers wondered whether anyone, including a young up-and-comer named Tracy Austin, could challenge her for years to come. Curry Kirkpatrick, the celebrated Sports Illustrated writer whose vivid prose captured both champions' runs that year, joins us on Past Our Prime to revisit that unforgettable Forest Hills tournament from the inside. Kirkpatrick shares firsthand memories of covering Connors' gritty triumph over Borg and Evert's near-flawless march through the women's draw, along with insight into Borg himself — the mysterious, icy-cool Swede whose immense talent and unreadable composure made him one of tennis's most fascinating enigmas, even in defeat. And no conversation about that tournament would be complete without Ilie Nastase, the brilliant but combustible showman whose infamous meltdown against Hans-Jürgen Pohmann threw the entire event into chaos — Kirkpatrick reflects on what it was like witnessing that madness unfold in real time, and how Nastase's genius and volatility were often two sides of the very same coin. And he talks at length about the greatest rivalry in tennis history… Chrissy v Martina… and how that intense rivalry has blossomed into a lifelong friendship. Curry joins POP for the sixth time and is better than ever as we talk about the golden age of American tennis by the man who saw it all... on Past Our Prime. Learn more about your ad choices.

What do professional baseball and tactical strength and conditioning have in common? NSCA award-winning coach Matthew C. Krause knows the demands of both worlds, with 22 years in Major League Baseball (MLB) and his current public safety work with the Pasco Sheriff’s Office. Krause explains how lessons from baseball transfer when preparing law enforcement officers, who face long shifts, changing schedules, and fatigue that affects decision-making. In a new setting, his first step is to learn the job before making adjustments. He explains the Pasco Sheriff’s Office health and human performance model for deputy care and long-term development, then talks through how to show value with data and earn leadership buy-in over time. Krause also looks back on his United States Marine Corps service, mentors, and career opportunities as he advises young coaches to “always take the conversation.” Tune in to hear how you can step into a new setting, prove value, and build programs that last. Reach Matthew by email at mkrause@pascosheriff.org | Find Eric on Instagram: @ericmcmahoncscs and LinkedIn: @ericmcmahoncscs Join the NSCA Tactical Strength and Conditioning Professional Development Group (PDG) on LinkedIn to connect with peers and stay involved in the profession.Show Notes "You do a good job, you work your butt off, you're not sure what you want to do. You take these opportunities. [...] I tell all, all young strength coaches always take the conversation and you might not want it, but it's good to work on your skills as far as your interview skills and kind of understanding. You know, that process, learning how to sell yourself a little bit in those scenarios..." 10:25 "If you're going to be working for another organization or going to be in a team environment, you're never going to get everything you want. So, you have to pick and choose, figure out what you think on your list of things is the most important thing that day, right? And ask for those things, at the right time" 23:20 "I think people out there need to know that you need to give your time back and a lot of it's going to be in the form of education and time and talks like this." 25:30Transcript 00;00;00;00 - 00;00;21;24 Welcome to the NSCA Coaching Podcast season ten, episode six. And then somebody else, you know, you do a good job or somebody, you know, tell people, hey, listen, you work your butt off. You're not sure what you want to do. You take these opportunities and Bruce Hammel, who was the major league strength coach with the Cubs, came and said, hey, listen, you know, there could be some opportunities in baseball for you. 00;00;21;27 - 00;00;48;13 What wasn't where I wanted to be. I thought I was in college football, like I said, and wound up, you know, getting into, with the Pittsburgh Pirates, you know, went down, interviewed. So now, another thing I tell all, all young strength coaches always take the conversation and you might not want it, but it's good to work on your skills as far as your interview skills and kind of understanding, you know, that process, learning how to sell yourself a little bit in those scenarios. 00;00;48;13 - 00;01;09;27 Learn. You know how that dynamic is. This is the NSCA Coaching Podcast where we talked to strength and conditioning coaches about what you really need to know, but probably didn't learn in school. There’s strength and conditioning. And then there's everything else. This is the NSCA Coaching Podcast. I'm Eric McMahon NSCA’s Coaching and Sport Science Program Manager. 00;01;09;28 - 00;01;33;15 Today we have a guest who has extensive experience with the NSCA as a presenter. He was a 2018 Professional Strength and Conditioning Coach of the year, tons of experience working in MLB, but now he's working in tactical, the public safety space with the Pasco County Sheriff's Department in Florida. Matt Krauss, welcome to the show. Thanks, Eric. I appreciate you being here. 00;01;33;22 - 00;01;53;17 It's going to be fun. Yeah, yeah it's great man. I'm really excited to hear about your path from MLB and all the work you've done in the past and now working in the tactical space. What's that been like? I'll tell you a lot of a lot of similarities, being in a major League baseball with certain things from, from an everyday perspective, and you got a chance to experience that too. 00;01;53;17 - 00;02;11;17 In baseball. And then coming into the law enforcement space where it's, it's every day. Right? There's, there's, it's 24 hours a day, every day. It doesn't it doesn't stop. So it's one of the things that, that I, that I really like about it because I always like the grind of baseball. Right? You know, 20 something years and then coming into this space. 00;02;11;17 - 00;02;31;18 And I do enjoy that part of it. I enjoy the every day. There's something every day you're preparing for something every day. The ongoing of of it never stopping to where people talking about, you know, loading unloading this when it's every single day, you got to have that knack, to keep people going on on their best day and on on the worst day. 00;02;31;18 - 00;02;53;21 Right. So, and just the mental aspect of of a grind. So I really enjoy the space. That's cool. It's something I hear come through is when you're every single day, there's really no peaking, you know, you go, you always gotta be ready to go. You might be at your best, you might be at 80%. But that's your best that day. 00;02;53;24 - 00;03;30;13 How do you prepare law enforcement officers? And just like you did in baseball, to go out there every single day? Well, you know, the number one thing and for, for for any industry is learning the job and kind of getting understand the mentality and the physical part of it, you know, knowing the job, being around. So I think the ticket out for a six months of you coming into this space, kind of not asking as many questions, being more observational, but, you know, asking here and there, certain things, but just really getting to learn, understanding terminology. 00;03;30;15 - 00;03;48;29 You know, certain things are the same. Certain things are not, but really, you know, diving into it. And I've had an opportunity to, really get a chance to, to, to understand kind of what they're doing. I was not part of shift work. Right. Because baseball is is all day to. But understanding how you apply that to. 00;03;49;04 - 00;04;05;18 But but baseball has that you know that set schedule. You know every single day of the ramp up to a game and then and then there's a travel piece to it. But here it's ramping up every single day. And then and then going from a mid shift to a day shift to a night shift and understanding all those different pieces to it. 00;04;05;20 - 00;04;29;15 As people transition from from those aspects and how to how to apply the process or a program or their routine. All of the things that you would say to to a baseball player, right. But you know, it, it applies here to and how to make those adjustments. So seeing all of it and then getting a chance to dissect it a little bit, you know, obviously when you're a college training coach, when I was, when I was working in college, I worked ten different sports. 00;04;29;15 - 00;04;47;29 There's ten different things going on. And then, and then just being in one area, like, we just just in baseball, you get to dissect a little bit and to really kind of hone down on it. And once you kind of understand and get the chance to, to start implementing and, and so I'm making adjustments to try to make it better. 00;04;48;02 - 00;04;59;05 Tactical wasn't completely new to you. I know you have a military background. What was your path into S&C? Being enlisted in the military? 00;04;59;08 - 00;05;16;25 Well, joining the Marine Corps. So I was in the Marine Corps back when I was 18 years old. That was it was one of my paths, an opportunity to to make money and to go to school wasn't I didn't come from a very, a family with a ton of money. And but I definitely wanted to go to school, you know, I was, say, A33 sport athlete in high school. 00;05;16;28 - 00;05;32;17 And obviously I wasn't good enough in any one of those, you know, I was I got I was a plus player, but not enough to get a scholarship right or to continue on a at a lower level. And so that was part of my path. My dad was a marine. My uncle was a marine. I knew some of the people in my neighborhood that Marines. 00;05;32;17 - 00;05;49;13 And so I, I didn't even think, of another, branch. Right. I was just I was going to be, you know, if I was going to do this, I was going to go into the Marine Corps, and but I knew I wasn't going to do it long term. I mean, my path was, you know, my uncle was a college football coach. 00;05;49;16 - 00;06;07;06 He was at Richmond, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, you know, he played football at Mississippi State. So as you're, you know, building where you want to kind of go in life, you know, I had all these friends I wanted to be on Wall Street coming out of New York. I was a Queens, Long Island guy. Right. And I wanted to be I wanted to get off the island, get out of there and be more like my uncle. 00;06;07;08 - 00;06;27;06 And so I just thought I would, you know, moving, move in that direction. So the Marine Corps was, was a great place for me to one grow up. So I give a lot of a lot of credit to Marine Corps. I was, you know, some punk kid that, you know, thought he knew everything. And then I learned that I didn't know anything and that I needed a little structure in my life. 00;06;27;09 - 00;06;39;21 I like to say it taught me a little bit more of the killer instinct. I wish, I wish I played high school sports after I went to the Marine Corps, I would I would have been a better practitioner. I would have been a better planner. I would have been a lot of things instead of, just doing them. 00;06;39;23 - 00;06;59;05 And, so it definitely prepared me to learn how to focus in on some things, and it helped me be better into my career. And, so I'm very, very appreciative for, for taking an 18 year old kid and teaching him how to grow up. So you got out of the Marine Corps and that pushed you into college. 00;06;59;05 - 00;07;18;21 And were you looking at exercise science? What was your original goal when you were looking at a career? I always laugh, I said, so I had a buddy that I was at East Carolina University. I know Campbell's is, 71 miles from, from East Carolina. So I go over and visit with them, and that's where I saw they had a good sports medicine program. 00;07;18;21 - 00;07;36;29 It was my introduction into the athletic training where it kind of started. I was looking at the different ways how I can kind of get into sports. Talk to us a little bit. And they had a great program. So I knew when I was transitioning out into the reserve piece, they had a unit over in Raleigh that come. 00;07;36;29 - 00;07;56;00 So, you know, registering getting into East Carolina was my entrance. They had that exercise science, you know, different disciplines. You're going to go the exercise physiology or out of the sports medicine route. I started in the exercise science. I mean, in the sports medicine side of it, becoming an athletic trainer and, you know, Coach Connors was there. 00;07;56;00 - 00;08;10;01 A lot of people say at the NSCA, I know who Coach Connors was. He was, you know, I wanted to be him. You know, you know, the way he came in, he would do some pre-game speeches for football, for the men's basketball team that I was working on, like, wow, this guy was like, not only training guys in the bedroom, but he was doing pre-game speeches. 00;08;10;01 - 00;08;30;18 And I was like, that's a job that I want. You know, he got everybody going and I know he's he's done some talks for, for, for the NSCA. And so I was I looked at him as, you know, I wouldn't have known that the strength conditioning was even a job. Right. And when I saw him do it and the way he did it, was exciting to me and say, hey, this is something that I could possibly do. 00;08;30;20 - 00;08;48;20 And, so he actually, you know, crossed the bridge from the athletic training side to the strength conditioning side for me. He was very generous with his time. You know, people, he kind of finished school in December, but I don't graduate to make enough to do an internship. So I did my my my time at his Carolina in the sports medicine program as an athletic trainer. 00;08;48;20 - 00;09;03;24 And then in that window, he allowed me to come in and help out with the men's basketball team. I had to go do my cardiac rehab back in the day, say, internship in the morning, and then in the afternoon, he let me come into the weight room and then help out. And we got to the end of that semester. 00;09;03;24 - 00;09;21;29 I was looking at some some graduate assistantship opportunities from the athletic training side. And coach was like said, I can get you one right now if you won't go down to UCS, but it'll be on the training conditioning side. And I still didn't have enough money, as a driver, but I still wanted to get my masters and, he made a few phone calls for me. 00;09;22;02 - 00;09;43;25 I had a quick interview, and four weeks later I was down in Orlando, Florida, at UCS in that transition. And that's when I started my my career in, say, strength conditioning. Got in, there was work in, you know, football. UCF was working on every sport, obviously as a GA. And then so that was that was it. 00;09;43;25 - 00;10;00;27 He made a few phone calls. You stuck his neck out for me. So I appreciate that. You know, you want to give you a thank you along the way and then, took that opportunity and ran with it. And then the following semester, I took my CSCS and got, you know, became, got my certification and never looked back. 00;10;00;28 - 00;10;19;23 You know, it took my. So from that point, while I was a GA, I worked like 15 sports. There were college football, but took my time did my it did a few other internship. I'll. I worked for the Buccaneers. There are many camps one summer and then the following summer I did it with the Daytona Cubs and that was my entrance into into baseball. 00;10;19;24 - 00;10;40;20 Not to date ourselves here on here in 1999, I went over there and did an internship with the Daytona Cubs and then somebody else, you know, you do a good job as my, you know, tell people, you listen, you work your butt off, you're not sure what you want to do. You take these opportunities. And Bruce Hammel, who was the major league strength coach with the Cubs, came and said, hey, listen, you know, there could be some opportunities in baseball for you. 00;10;40;22 - 00;11;03;05 What wasn't where I wanted to be. I thought I was me in college football, like I said, and wound up, you know, getting into, with the Pittsburgh Pirates, you know, went down, interviewed. So now, another thing I tell all, all young strength coaches always take the conversation and you might not want it, but it's good to work on your skills as far as your interview skills and kind of understanding. 00;11;03;08 - 00;11;22;14 You know, that process, learning how to sell yourself a little bit in those scenarios, learn, you know how that dynamic is, but wound up getting an opportunity and get to take the job with the Pittsburgh Pirates and got into baseball. Never look back. 22 years later. It's been three years for the Pirates. 13 ish with the Reds. 00;11;22;17 - 00;11;52;05 You know, it's a major league level. And in my time with the New York Yankees and I finished in 2020, I like how all those early experiences, you got a ton of experience working with different teams, obviously on the medicine side, and that led you into strength and conditioning. But you had tons of experience building programs. I think, your time with the Reds, your time with the Yankees, now you're working in building a tactical strength and conditioning department at Pasco County. 00;11;52;08 - 00;12;12;01 What are some of the unique challenges when you come in? Maybe the program isn't where it needs to be. How do you build a department from the ground up? So every opportunity along the way is even coming to it, even at UCS at that time. So I don't want to take a step back. It just was that transition from one to Division one. 00;12;12;03 - 00;12;28;21 And we're building a program. So it's just me and somebody else, as the interns, you know, I'm saying then Augus and then I got hired on there as a full time strength coach, and then want of building on that program and being there to kind of see that. But Coach Bridgeman, I think he's done some things with the Navy at the time. 00;12;28;23 - 00;12;41;21 Showed me some administrative things that I didn't know that needed to happen. Right. So you can't put these things away for when it's your turn to kind of be in charge. So I wasn't in charge anything, but I kind of learned the process well because we were limited staff. So he had to put me in some challenging situations that I need to do. 00;12;41;21 - 00;13;00;11 Right. You got to grow up real quick. So then I want to went to the Pirates. Baseball was transitioning into developing minor league programs, right? Because at the time was just a major league strength. I had athletic trainer, assistant trainer, major league strength coach, and a minor league coordinator pretty much only outside of that. It was a lot of internships in and around it. 00;13;00;14 - 00;13;21;09 And then while I was my my time there with the Pirates, we built out that program. We created, a full time position. At different levels. Right. So super short season, you know. Oh, well, Gulf coast, short season, high, low and triple AA were they weren't in crazy salaries, but they were full time positions. Those are probably some of the first in the game at that time. 00;13;21;11 - 00;13;37;09 Correct. And so we were able to from a job creation standpoint that that was that was pretty cool to be a part of that. And then, had the opportunity to, you know, left the Pirates, came to the Reds. We're building the same kind of minor league program at this time. Now, I had a plan. Right. 00;13;37;11 - 00;13;54;22 You need this amount of people. Here's how we're going to roll this off. Carl Alvarez was a major league strength coach at times. I got hired on as a minor league guy, and then. And, had the opportunity to take it, take a major league job, two years later and then spent, you know, 15 years at the Major league level. 00;13;54;22 - 00;14;08;20 So I had, you know, five minor league years and then and then 16 at the major league level. It was it was pretty cool. So being able to watch that program grow put everything in place from a programing standpoint, learning how to deal with the coaches in the front office and all the other people in the scouting department. 00;14;08;22 - 00;14;28;20 What was great, and then getting a chance to to even do with the New York Yankees and building out even more programs, and then adding in the sport science piece and adding in a dietitian and adding all that. So from a job creation standpoint, I feel like we, you know, over say, 20 something years, we're able to, you know, builds almost 30, 35 jobs, you know, in the game, which I'm excited about. 00;14;28;23 - 00;14;47;21 And, and then watching some people that came in behind me that all work for the pirates and different things and moves along and, really excited about having those opportunities to where it gave me this opportunity when I, when I, when I got out of baseball and someone came up here and said, hey, you know, Pasco Sheriff's Office wants to build a human performance program. 00;14;47;21 - 00;15;04;21 At the time, this was an EXOS contract. We had a lot of people here from from special operations that seen some different things. While they were time there in the military, they knew it was something that needed to happen. And then I was lucky enough to, to land this position and I said, hey, you know what? 00;15;04;23 - 00;15;22;27 It's not just going to be a human performance program. We did a health and human performance program, right? We have to add in the the care aspect from we have a lot of people that have issues. So we're able to bring in. So now we're here I guess we're, we're we wanted to go with this was we're the first I call it a long term development program, right. 00;15;22;27 - 00;15;48;05 Where the first health and human performance program or a sports medicine program in law enforcement. So we're playing both both sides of that. When we're able to build out a staff from a job creation standpoint, now we have another strength coach, acts as the trainer and strength coach. We have a chiropractor and a registered dietitian, and we're able to provide care for the people who need, you know, some soft tissue work and some different things that that need to happen. 00;15;48;07 - 00;16;08;11 And taking that team, team approach that we learned through sports over time. On how to provide player care. We need to provide, you know, deputy care and, from from a tactical athlete standpoint and what I mean, long term development, we're able to impact the agency by we we have an explorer program at the high school level that we do, you know, exposure to all these different things. 00;16;08;13 - 00;16;43;24 And we work out of the academy as people come, you know, they want to become deputies. We we have some, opportunity to help and build foundational movements and corrective exercise at that level. And then like this morning, we have people that when we hire them officially into the sheriff's office, where we have a program to where we have a strength conditioning program for for six weeks, as we're training our deputies and teaching them and taking that exposure from those lower levels, right to, to here to where we can build out and show them all the mobility and the FRC stuff and control the programs and weight room programs and, you know, start, you 00;16;43;24 - 00;17;15;14 know, running programs and conditioning programs and agility and everything kind of gets built out. Show them how to expose them to it. And then we we have meetings through our FTO program. And then we do what to control. But we have programs for canines, you know, slot and you know, the tip of the spear. So when you think of a long term development program, Eric, we have stuff from the Dominican Republic to the big leagues, and now we have some things from the high school program and people who want to be in law enforcement or ROTC, whatever, and how we get them all the way to Swat or canine, you know, to to be our 00;17;15;14 - 00;17;43;01 best. And, I feel like we're impacting the agency and getting a lot of support. And so I'm excited to help be a part of that. So you've seen the culture obviously change and MLB to adopt strength and conditioning. Now you're experiencing that on the tactical side. Do you see a big difference in the culture of how strength and conditioning, sport science, all the different areas you mentioned nutrition, sports medicine, all how all these different areas are being adopted? 00;17;43;03 - 00;18;02;11 Yeah, it just takes a little bit of time and, you know, a lot of lot of sweat equity to, you know, in the beginning, you know, in the beginning times with, with baseball. Right? You didn't you didn't have as many people or there are some people on the coaching staff for the nonbelievers. Right. As long as you have some support at the top, it gives you opportunity to kind of, show the value. 00;18;02;13 - 00;18;23;16 Right. And, and how we're going to help impact the agency from, from injury prevention to also to performance and then how how that bleeds into the hitting and ground balls and pitching, you know, everything. And I've watched a huge swing say on the baseball side from from pitching coaches that maybe weren't they don't want to say what not to say. 00;18;23;16 - 00;18;50;20 Not I say as nonbelievers in the beginning, but weren't as adaptive to where that swing over that, say, 20 year period to where they're they're almost your biggest advocate. They they apply the most science right to, to to things to where we gain traction and show them, hey, the value of it to where as the front office started adding people in and, and over time, now you see a huge shift in culture, say, and baseball all the way from the D.R., all the way through the big leagues. 00;18;50;20 - 00;19;15;14 Right. And so I'm, I see the same thing here. You have people here who, who teach the skills. Right? You have shooting skills and jujitsu or defensive tactics and all those different things. And we want to impact the coaching staff to say, hey, here's ways that we can help your skill acquisition, right? To getting people more mobile, right, to get people in a better condition and doesn't, you know, have to be, say, marathon runners or bodybuilders and all those type of things we do. 00;19;15;15 - 00;19;32;18 You have to be in just enough shape to to do the job. And this is a tough job. When they go to trainings, they're out there for six, eight, ten, sometimes the 12 hour shifts, right. So when you're preparing people to do things for 12 hours, you know, you have to be able to dissect that a little bit. 00;19;32;20 - 00;19;52;28 And they got a hard they got a hard job, they got a hard job with a lot of liability. And so we want to make sure that, you know, you know, the number one thing that affects any kind of skill or division decision making is fatigue. And we have to make sure people are ready to do their job so that they're always making good decisions from hour one to hour 12. 00;19;53;00 - 00;20;10;09 You know, that that that's that's the approach. And so I'm just fortunate enough to, to get a chance to see people do something really well. Like I see it on the baseball side, when you get to watch baseball played at a high level for a long time, you get to appreciate a lot of little things. And then I've got a chance to watch people who are really good at their job here. 00;20;10;12 - 00;20;29;16 Show me the right, I guess, the right way to go about, you know, say, policing and law enforcement and how to from a from a skill side of it. And now we're able to to add the all the things that we've done on the sports side of it into this side. So from from a sports medicine side to, to the, you know, conditioning and strength conditioning side. 00;20;29;16 - 00;20;51;03 So now adding some tech. Right. So we're adding in. So we have a full assessments here. We you know we you know we do all smoke screens and movement screens and different things that people you know didn't really think about in 2005 and six and seven, you know, back in the day. And now to where we have, you know, the on base you and this and that and TBI and you have every single kind of, assessment possible. 00;20;51;03 - 00;21;05;16 Well, we're bringing some of those things here, right? We have to get people assessed. We have to get, we're using the body, we're using some tech, we're using some pressure mats. We're going to be adding in some some stuff involved and or some force playing some different things. And, you know, there's a lot of hitting drills that apply to shooting skills, right? 00;21;05;16 - 00;21;23;06 You teach things from the ground up and, and we're showing the value of that because people get better. So, you know, and people need to see the numbers. Right? You want to make change, right? They need to see the body numbers. They need to see some of the, some of FMS numbers. They need to see those things because you just talk about it. 00;21;23;06 - 00;21;43;05 Right. It's you know, they can't really understand it. But when they see it it's like, hey, holy cow. We're actually, you know, I'm actually getting better at some of these things. So it's been fun to watch. Yeah. Sounds sounds exciting. And you talk about the tech before we were talking about job creation and how that's really allowed you to build programs everywhere you've been. 00;21;43;05 - 00;22;05;08 But when I hear that, I'm like, hey, you're going to your leadership and you're asking them for money. Essentially, you're saying, hey, we need money to hire a strength coach or hire an athletic trainer or to purchase this technology. What's your approach going back on what you said you have, you're believers, you're nonbelievers. When you're going to somebody in a leadership position saying, hey, we need budget for this. 00;22;05;11 - 00;22;27;14 They may not be on board. How do you how do you navigate that process? I think over my years of learning how to get to. Yes, and to be patient and and to pick and choose your spots. I think I think when you're a young, trained coach, you don't know when to ask and not ask. So I've learned, like when you lose ten games in a row, you don't go ask for anything. 00;22;27;17 - 00;22;40;26 You mean you went on days in a row and everybody's happy, right? You got you learn how to pick your spots. And I think, you know, those are some of the things that the that I've learned around here. So like when you know, hey, we know we're down X amount of deputies. Right. So don't be asking for things. 00;22;40;26 - 00;22;58;10 Right. And then all of a sudden, you know, when things are moving at full speed around here and things are going well, like know you learn how to pick your, pick your spots. So you learn how to get to. Yes. And then and part of that is, You know, I've learned, you know, in baseball, you have a union. 00;22;58;12 - 00;23;13;13 So I guess you learn that you're only even at your best. You're about to do about 75% of the stuff you really want to do, right? Because there's unions and rules and guidelines and legal stuff and all these other things. So no one ever gets so hope. So. If anyone out there watching, you never have to get 100% of what you want. 00;23;13;14 - 00;23;24;09 If you do that, go in your own business, right? If you want to do everything you want to do, when you want to do it, and how you want to do it right then and there. But if you're going to be working for another organization or going to be in a team environment, you're never going to get everything you want. 00;23;24;09 - 00;23;43;12 So you got to pick and choose, figure out what you think on your list of things is the most important thing that day, right? And ask for those things, at the right time. And we've been lucky enough here to now get some federal dollars. And we are building a performance center, and we are, you know, building and getting a dedicated space. 00;23;43;12 - 00;24;03;18 Right? Because right now I'm in the Joint Operations building, right? I'm going to have a housing human performance, a building. We're in that process. We got some federal dollars, we got some state dollars, we have some county dollars that, we're we're now building a building, right. You know, here. And we have five satellite locations in and around the county or the county, 700mi². 00;24;03;20 - 00;24;27;17 And how we're able to, to do some of those things. And so we found the right time. We built some success. We got some people from an adoption standpoint that want to do these things, from a sweat equity standpoint. And now we're on the other end of this to where, you know, we put the time and and we're being rewarded with, you know, our, our sheriff and our leadership and, and, that, that want to make sure we have a dedicated space to train up to train our deputies. 00;24;27;19 - 00;24;53;27 Right. Not to, and to help impact the agency. So I'm really excited about that, that we're moving in that direction. And they want to build an add on. That's huge man. It's cool to see departments grow. And I think back when you were the president of the PBSCCS, Professional Baseball Strength and Conditioning Coaches Society, and you've really had to be an advocate for strength and conditioning through your whole career. 00;24;53;27 - 00;25;15;27 It goes back to what you said on job creation, and it's it's exciting for me to hear that and just see your involvement. Over the years you've been a presenter, you've been an award winner. What's the NSCA meant to you at different career stages? Well, I want to still say that I moved from the president of the PBSCCS to the administrative director. 00;25;15;27 - 00;25;32;27 I've not left that aspect of the game from the education standpoint. Listen, we all have to give back in certain ways, right? And, you know, and I'm fortunate enough to that the board with the PBSCCS allows me to be a part of, say, the trade show and to be part of what we're going to be doing another webinar here soon. 00;25;33;00 - 00;25;48;07 I think people out there need to know that you need to give your time back and a lot of it's going to be in the form of education and time and talks like this. And so along with that, yes. You know, I still like coming to the, to the, I don't wanna keep screwing up like that. 00;25;48;07 - 00;26;09;26 Kind of. Right. So the NSCA and then just you being let me be a part of this is this is huge. Right? But, I want to just make sure that, you know, that I'm taking the time to, you know, help out people just like Connors and Bridgman and different people. And then, you know, like, obviously one day, like this, this program, the sheriff is, you know, given their time and opportunity to to me, to where I like to give back to some of these things. 00;26;09;26 - 00;26;34;18 Right. And, and go and just, hey, I'm gonna tell you right now that I was going to agree with the way I do things, that it's okay to go out there and be judged by your peers a little bit. I think some people get nervous about that. We all are in the beginning part of our career, and now you get to a certain point to where, you know, I'm okay because some of the things I'm talking about, I'm doing good at and some I'm not doing as good, but hopefully someone in the room can be constructive enough to say, hey, hey, man, here's a better way to do it instead of just kind of beating 00;26;34;18 - 00;26;51;22 you down. And I've been on both ends of that, but I'm not as worried about that anymore. And and I'm okay to. Hey, here's what I got. Here's what we're doing. Help me make it better. Be constructive on that, and then I'll come to you and to other people. Well, through the NSCA. And you got a lot of good people in this tactical space. 00;26;51;22 - 00;27;11;25 And they've been very welcoming. This is the more welcoming they are. So you want to say the sports out of it. And what a great community. And everyone everyone wants to help it get better. And so I, I'm very, very, very appreciative of that. And, so that that's the community with from the NSCA. They've been they've been great. 00;27;11;27 - 00;27;34;20 Yeah. Your willingness to be open to share what you do, even if it's the the best thing out there, or maybe it's something you're still working on. I love that that comes through. If someone wants to reach out and get some of that advice from you, what's the best way for them to do that? Yeah, just as just, you know, I guess if you I don't know if you can put the email up on the screen, but email's the best, way to get Ahold of me. 00;27;34;20 - 00;27;52;24 I do try to reply to all of them. And hopefully, you can just take a little tidbit from here because everyone should put their own flavor on some things. You know, we all take some tidbits from each other, and hopefully you can kind of process some of the things that we're doing here and about, I'm always willing to help because I know other agencies. 00;27;52;24 - 00;28;15;27 Now we're starting to in the state of Florida, right? We have 68 counties, and I hope all 68 counties at some point, they are hiring a strength conditioning coach, and to help all their programs, to help all these deputies. What a much needed, job. Like a lot of job satisfaction and helping these people. Yeah, it's it's really exciting to hear job creation is the name of the game we care about. 00;28;15;27 - 00;28;38;28 Creating opportunities for coaches to move through the field like we have. And that's that's something that comes through on your baseball background through the PBSCCS. This is cool that this was a, baseball episode, but it was also a tactical episode. We don't always cross those two areas in this. In the same, episode here on the podcast. 00;28;38;28 - 00;28;59;02 So I think it speaks to the fact that you can move through different areas of the field, and our skill set is valuable, our knowledge is valuable, and we can take that with us when we have a new career opportunity or something that interests, so I think that's a really positive, encouraging messages for our listeners. Matt, thanks so much for being on today. 00;28;59;04 - 00;29;16;00 Yeah. Thank you. Hey, Eric. Appreciate it. Appreciate your friendship. I think I got a chance to meet two more people today. You know, that that are that are in the background there. So, any time and then I'm also going to be at the speaking at the tactical. Just let everyone know that I'll be speaking at the, tactical conference come August. 00;29;16;02 - 00;29;41;01 I love it. Yeah, absolutely. Thanks, everybody, for tuning in today. Great episode. We talk tactical baseball, strength and conditioning. Matt has a ton of information and knowledge experience with the NSCA. He's a great contact so we'll put his information into the show. Notes. Also a special thanks to Sorinex Exercise Equipment. We appreciate their support.

Harrison Browne joined me in The Locher Room for an inspiring and deeply honest conversation about a life defined by courage, reinvention, and authenticity.Many viewers recently discovered Harrison as Connors on the hit series Heated Rivalry, but long before stepping in front of the camera, he made history as the first openly transgender professional athlete in North American team sports.Harrison reflected on his groundbreaking hockey career, the difficult decision to retire in order to medically transition, and how he found a new purpose through acting. He shared the surprising story of how Scarlett Johansson unknowingly inspired him to pursue the craft, the discipline it took to succeed in both hockey and acting, and how he landed his role on Heated Rivalry.We also talked about the overwhelming response to the series, his acclaimed short film Pink Light, and why he and his sister, Rachel Browne, wrote Let Us Play: Winning the Battle for Gender Diverse Athletes.Most importantly, Harrison spoke candidly about the misinformation surrounding transgender athletes, what he wishes people understood about the lived experience of being trans, and the meaningful connections he's built with young people and families searching for hope and understanding.Whether you're a fan of Heated Rivalry, interested in sports, or simply appreciate powerful conversations that challenge perspectives, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

Watch This Episode On YouTubeI couldn't stop laughing during the funniest film of the year, directed by my guest, Elliot Connors. It's called FULL FRONTAL, or if you want to use the full title (and you should), it's I'M GOING FULL FRONTAL FOR MY NYU STUDENT SHORT FILM (2026), streaming today, August 4th, 2026 on NoBudge.I'd argue getting laughs is the hardest thing to do in independent film so that's why comedies are so relatively rare. And to do it in a short film -- that's a tough sell.But Elliot has the, um, goods: He is a 2026 Just for Laughs “New Face” for his adult animated series OMNI, about a dystopian virtual reality and the group of lovable curmudgeons trying to change it. BA from Yale, MFA from NYU, just one watch of FULL FRONTAL, you'll see what I mean. It's so, so fucking funny.But seriously: not safe for work. I'm in early on the Elliot Connors rocket ship and can't wait to get to the Moon.Hat tip to the absolute best friend of the pod, Hope Lawson, for making this conversation happen.In this episode, Elliot and I talk about:the insane reaction at NoBudge 50 for this film;how he describes the film and the reaction for people after watching it;how he got involved in filmmaking;the difficulty of making comedy work on screen;the importance of trusted people on what's funny;handling intimate filming and how he made the case and crew feel comfortable;why NoBudge?what NYU's writing program feels about streaming vs. festival rollouts;watching a lot of stuff versus a new perspective;what's next for him;the challenges of getting comedy shows produced nowadays.Elliot's Indie Film Highlights: PAJARITO (2026) dir. by Pilar Garcia-Fernandezsesma; JEFFREY, BAD DAY (2025) dir. by Theo Matza; COUPLES THEFTAPY (2026) dir. by Kiran ArainMemorable Quotes:" Kentucker was saying, "We probably got a good 20 seconds of penis there."

The crew discusses watching AEW Dynamite live, considering the show decent but not how they'd book it. They praise tension within the Don Callis Family, arguing heels shouldn't automatically get along, but criticize AEW's high-risk match style and predictable outcomes, citing Kevin Knight beating Darby before facing Kenny Omega. They describe “Crash TV” Russo-style pacing, then argue AEW fixates on minute-by-minute ratings while failing at audience capture through recaps and effective short-form social clips, contrasting WWE's promo/storyline clips with AEW's GIF-heavy match-spot posts and debating Dave Meltzer's view of “casual fans.” They recap key angles (Callis Family tag, Foley mediating Thekla/Willow, Jay White vs Connors, Death Riders attacking Copeland/Christian, women's hardcore tag, Omega/Moxley/Ospreay main event ending with Knight posing with two belts) and largely pan the upcoming “Redemption” pay-per-view card as rushed and not worth $50, while briefly discussing WBD/Paramount merger rumors and distrust of Tony Khan's public statements.

In this conversation, Lee sits down with two of Unleashing Leaders' top change agents, Skye Connors and Emily LaPorta, to tackle a problem every high performer eventually hits: too many priorities, not enough hours. Skye and Emily built UL's internal SOP for handling conflicting task requests and walk through how it works, from the physical warning signs of overload to the tiebreakers that step in when two tasks conflict. Feeling overloaded usually means you're trusted with more, not that you're falling short. Lee, Skye, and Emily break down the prioritization shortcuts that quietly wreck teams: First in, first out. Last in, first out. Whoever screams the loudest. And the fallback of declaring "everything is priority one," which just pushes the decision onto your team, leaving them to default to whatever's easiest. What UL actually uses instead is a framework that sorts commitments by required, desired, and optional, weighs critical path and impact, and falls back on real tiebreakers, like prior commitment and relative priority, when everything else ties. Emily closes with a reminder that this gets easier with practice: "Am I required?" and "What is the impact?" stop needing a checklist and become instinct.   Additional Resources Attend Unleashing Leaders University: https://unleashingleadersuniversity.com/curriculum Learn more about Unleashing Leaders: https://unleashingleaders.com/ Follow Unleashing Leaders on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/unleashingleaders Connect with Lee on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leeallenscott/ Follow Unleashing Leaders on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UnleashingLeaders/ Follow Unleashing Leaders on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unleashingleaders/   Key Takeaways: Feeling overloaded is a sign of trust and competence, not a warning sign of failure. Notice the physical tell (tight chest, racing heart) before it drives a bad decision. First in, first out, last in, first out, and "whoever screams loudest" all fail as standalone strategies. Declaring everything priority one pushes the decision to your team, and they'll default to whatever seems easiest, leaving the hard stuff undone. Sort every ask into required, desired, or optional before you commit to it. When priorities truly tie, fall back on real tiebreakers like prior commitment and relative project priority. With practice, questions like "Am I required?" and "What is the impact?" stop needing a checklist and become instinct.

She also reveals how an unexpected introduction to Canva and social media led her to discover the work she was truly meant to do.Together, Mike "C-Roc" and Em dive into the importance of resilience, finding clarity before chasing success, embracing reinvention, and creating a business that aligns with your values instead of consuming your life.

Peter Parker is a (paid) Oscorp intern now, which means we get to meet gay icon Colman Domingo's Norman Osborn, Paul F. Tompkins as a grumpy old scientist, and a Dr. Connors who is not experimenting on lizards. We talk about hot and husky Butane and a race to rescue pets from very good-looking fire, lots of deep cut comic book references, and why appointment times should require you to arrive 15 minutes early.We're watching Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 2: “The Parker Luck”.Check out Glitterjaw's new variety show, Glitterjaw Presents!Website⁠ | ⁠Patreon⁠ | ⁠Discord⁠Part of The Glitterjaw Queer Podcast CollectiveContact us: @WallopingWebPod on ⁠Bluesky⁠ and ⁠Instagram⁠Email: ⁠wallopingwebsnapperspodcast@gmail.com⁠Theme song features: ⁠“Resonance (Cyan & Ladybot Remix)” by HOME⁠ | ⁠License (CC BY 3.0)⁠

I couldn't care less about one of these 2 Connors.  I'll let you decide which one, but I'll give you a clue.  It's the asxbag with the mohawk.Connor McGregor Mathers casting spells and trickery? Honey, who Hijacked the Kids? Is Nanotech in your blood, and everywhere else? Is it an interface with your devices? Are smart dust sensors all over, including within? What's that they're spraying above? Is this a final component to make us hackable animals? Are the devices you give your children changing them but not just by program influence? Is there a technological component that is altering their personality and sending information back and forth from their phones and the tech within them? Are the towers and their EMR frequency emissions also saturating our environment with manipulative power over how we think and treat one another? Parasitic tech is contaminating us all. To what extent is left to be determined.Connor Murphy is allegedly dead by drowning, and people [his so-called friends] who have no idea how to piece together a thought, and who themselves have no depth of character, are all chiming in to blame Connor's many odd personas and behaviors on Ayahuasca. That may have been the event, but it wasn't the cause. It was the experience derived from it, maybe. Remember you can't bronze a turd, and you can't level up in the spiritual caste system if you are a Hylic. You simply lack the essential component. Sand can't be water. It can be very troubling if you see too much, if you have even a short holiday out of the spell cast on your perception. Gnosis is something that bares some very unsettling realizations, as well as the self-actualization potential. The "remembering" of who you are. If you get sent the signal that you are an intruder and you don't belong in that realm of awareness, it may be detrimental. Not because you were mistaken, or hallucinating. But because you were more right than most everyone in the sense that you saw more truth and saw through more BS. The problem is when you have no actual escape route. Knowing is a curse to those still stuck in the snow globe, or the mouse maze.Let's see what's being posted and talked about on that there social media thingy. What is your feed dumping in your trough? Did you ask for it? Wouldn't you like to have more variety and less thought and perception manipulation by these sites? Ever feel like there's a force out there attempting to radicalize you?

This week Dana sits down with Em Connors of The Creative Bodega for an honest, no-filter conversation about comparison, confidence, and money mindset, sparked by watching a creator go from unknown to multimillionaire almost overnight. Dana and Em both had a rough week of unfollowing, re-following, and wondering what was wrong with their own pace. This episode is the debrief. They get into why "new" isn't always what it looks like, why 90% of the block women feel in business comes down to self-doubt (not strategy), why launches were never built for the seasonal reality of a mom's life, and the money trauma both Dana and Em inherited from their own dads, and how to finally paint your own truck. You'll hear: Why comparing your business to someone's overnight win is comparing yourself to a story you don't have the full data on The real math behind viral launch reviews (it's not what you think) Why self-doubt, not strategy, is the number one block for most women building a business The "bravery isn't in a safe community, it's on the internet" reframe Em's "paint your truck" money mindset story Why launches aren't built for moms, and how to protect your own season anyway This is a must-listen for any mom who's had a hard week of scrolling lately.

In this episode of the Building PA Podcast, co-hosts Chris Martin and Jon O'Brien welcome Ben Connors, the president of the General Building Contractors Association (GBCA), to discuss the current trends and challenges in the construction industry, particularly in the Philadelphia market.We kick off the episode with a warm introduction, highlighting the exciting atmosphere in Philadelphia as the city prepares for the World Cup and celebrates its 250th anniversary of democracy. Ben shares his insights on how these events are energizing the local economy and influencing construction trends.Diving into the construction landscape, Ben notes that the market is experiencing a downtrend, marking the third consecutive year of decreased activity. He explains that historical patterns suggest a potential bottoming out by 2026, with hopes for a rebound in 2027-2028. A significant focus of the conversation is on the rising demand for data centers in the region, which are driving construction activity, particularly in areas surrounding Philadelphia. Ben discusses the challenges posed by the overwhelming demand for power to support these data centers, which has doubled in recent years.As we explore the current projects and market trends, Ben highlights the shift away from commercial office space construction, largely due to the rise of remote work. He emphasizes the importance of specialized work in the industry, noting that contractors with expertise in this area are finding more opportunities. Exciting developments on the horizon include a new arena for the Philadelphia 76ers, a major investment from a Korean shipbuilder at the Navy Yard, and the transformation of the old Philadelphia gas refinery into the Bellwether District, an industrial park.We also discuss the challenges facing GBCA members, including increased competition and thin profit margins in a down market. Ben points out the ongoing struggle against commoditization in construction, particularly in the residential sector, where out-of-town developers are cutting costs.The conversation shifts to technology and the impact of AI on the construction industry. Ben shares how GBCA is embracing AI to enhance member engagement and improve safety outcomes. He highlights the growing interest in AI applications, from estimating to safety chatbots, and the potential for these technologies to revolutionize the industry.As we wrap up the episode, Ben provides insights into ongoing projects in healthcare and education, including the expansion of Children's Hospital and the conversion of the historic Wanamaker building into mixed-use space. He emphasizes the importance of safety in construction and the value of union contractors in delivering high-quality work.This episode is packed with valuable information and insights into the evolving construction landscape in Philadelphia. We thank Ben for joining us and look forward to having him back in the future to continue the conversation.

Who are you when everything you've built your identity on gets taken away?For Dennis Connors, that question wasn't hypothetical. A teenage USA rock climber turned Marine Corps intelligence operator, he served three combat tours in Iraq supporting Tier 1 Special Operations, ran 250 interrogations, and came home with multiple undiagnosed TBIs, severe PTSD, and two strokes — the second partially paralyzed his left side. In March 2018, his call sign was still Villain and he had a plan to end his life the next day. What happened on the other side of that moment took him to the Paris 2024 Paralympic podium as a Silver Medalist and to a TED stage where he made 4,000 people cry.IN THIS EPISODE:Why Dennis stood at the dark edge in March 2018 — and the single moment that stopped himHow undiagnosed TBIs compounded PTSD for years — and why he toughed them both outVulnerability reframed: not disclosing weakness — opening a conversational gateSelf-worth tied to results vs. self-love that doesn't collapse under pressureWhy community with shared passion goes deeper than shared service aloneThe four pillars of perseverance: vulnerability, self-love, disciplined action, communityRELATED EPISODES:Ep. 123 — Bipolar General: Maj.

A Marine intelligence collector walked through rocket blasts, absorbed traumatic brain injuries he never reported, and came home to hallucinations so severe he planned to end his own life. Dennis Connors, a Marine Corps veteran, human intelligence operator for a tier-one unit, Paralympic silver medalist, and world champion cyclist, sits down with Joe De Sena to break apart the moment grit stops working and what has to replace it.   Dennis lays out his four pillars of perseverance: vulnerability, self-love, disciplined action, and community. He explains why toughness without honesty becomes a death sentence, why identity tied to achievement collapses under pressure, and how cycling gave him both a recovery tool and a tribe that pushed him toward the help he refused to ask for.   Things You Will Learn: When grit becomes a liability and what structured perseverance looks like before breakdown hits. The four pillars that replaced white-knuckling it and why each one matters in sequence. Why identity tied to achievement collapses under pressure, and what to anchor self-worth to instead.   Tools & Frameworks Covered: Four Pillars of Perseverance: Vulnerability, self-love, disciplined action, and community. A structured framework for long-term recovery and sustained performance. Grit vs. Perseverance Distinction: Grit handles short-term strain. Perseverance handles the years. Know which mode you are in before it fails. Identity Separation Protocol: Detach identity from a single role so transitions do not destroy self-worth.   If this episode moved you, do not just listen.

Since the early days of UFO studies, claims of sightings involving alleged occupants of these unidentified craft have been logged by both civilian and governmental investigative efforts. After many decades of sighting reports, only a handful of credible observations of UFO occupants have been logged, and the topic remains one of the most controversial issues in UAP studies.  This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we examine several of history's most credible sightings of unidentified craft and their humanoid occupants, and look at the patterns, consistencies, questions, and challenges they present to the modern study of mysterious aerial phenomena.  Want to advertise/sponsor The Micah Hanks Program?
