Injuries, redshirts, and getting passed over are not glitches in the system. They are the system. The athletes who last are the ones who stay, compete, and keep showing up when every excuse says walk away.Welcome to Oak Performance Radio, where we talk about what it really takes to perform at a high level. The show looks at training, preparation, and decision-making through real athletes, coaches, and experiences, on and off the field.Episode HighlightsIn today's episode, Adam Lane sits down with Division II right side Molle Hobson and outside hitter Bree Messenger to get brutally honest about college volleyball. They walk through double ACL tears, redshirting, losing a spot to a fifth year, and why they stayed instead of jumping in the transfer portal. They break down the real difference between Division I and Division II, how coaching communication and team culture decide your experience, and what recruits and parents need to be asking before they commit anywhere.Episode OutlineIntroduction and Host WelcomeBrie's Injury and College ExperienceMolle's College Experience and RedshirtingTeam Dynamics and Recruiting AdviceChallenges and Lessons LearnedAdvice for Future AthletesFinal Thoughts and Future PlansEpisode Chapters00:00 Intro00:27 Meet Molle and Bree01:49 Molly's path to St. Cloud State02:52 Bree's VC United and UCM journey04:02 Senior year ACL tear and missed freshman season06:48 Second ACL tear and rebuilding identity08:53 Finding value while injured and on the sideline11:46 What injury taught Bree about leadership17:16 Molle's redshirt year and mental battles20:32 Losing the spot to a fifth year and handling it28:45 D1 vs D2 reality and choosing the right fit40:01 How to evaluate coaches, teams, and social media55:40 Adam's message on the weight room and no regrets1:00:27 Where to follow Molle and BreeConclusionMolle and Bree show what happens when you do not get the clean, straight line you pictured. Their path has included surgeries, sitting, and hard coaching decisions, but they stayed, asked for honest feedback, and kept doing the work. The big takeaway is simple: pick an environment where you are coached as a person, stay accountable for your effort in the gym and on the court, and be willing to fight for your spot without bailing the second it gets uncomfortable.Action TakenBree returns from two ACL reconstructions, gets fully cleared, and commits to attacking a real on court season instead of letting injuries write the ending.Molle heads into her junior year ready to fight for the right side spot after sitting behind a fifth year, with clear feedback from her coach on where she stands.Both athletes commit to:Staying at programs where they are known as people, not just numbers.Owning their role, even when that role is injured, redshirted, or benched.For athletes and parents, they outline concrete steps:Ask direct questions on visits about playing time, communication, and how coaches handle injuries.Spend time stalking rosters and social media to see how the team actually lives, trains, and treats each other.Stop chasing the D1 label and chase the right fit, culture, and staff.Adam reinforces:If you skip the weight room, you are choosing to leave performance and durability on the table.Training, sleep, and taking care of your body are part of your job, not extras.CTASubscribe to Oak Performance Radio and share this with a player or parent who is in the middle of recruiting and needs a straight answer about D1 vs D2.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/oakperformancelabInstagram: @oakperformanceConnect with Molle and Bree:@breemessenger44@mollie.hobson Thank you for listening to Oak Performance Radio. Keep training like your spot is not guaranteed, ask harder questions, and choose teams that make you tougher and better in every part of your life.
Air Date: 6–20-2026 Today we explore how political revenge became official government policy. The Department of Justice has dropped fraud cases while opening vindictive investigations into Trump's critics. Judges who rule against him face death threats at home with no federal protection and thousands of DOJ lawyers have walked out the door, leaving the agency hollowed out by loyalty tests and bent toward retribution.

Radio veteran Neiko Flowers and musician D2 are stepping into a new season with ND2, blending faith, soul, and purpose on their debut single, "Right Here Right Now."
This week on Hey Sis, Eat This, Courtney and Whitney welcome back The Dads, their dad Glenn, aka D1, and his husband Drew, aka D2, for a Father's Day episode celebrating the sweetest, funniest, and most unforgettable ways these two men have shown up for them over the years. The sisters share stories about how D1 taught Whitney to stand up to a teacher who kept calling her by the wrong name and helped Courtney survive a dry-socketed, mashed-potato-fueled road trip to college. Whitney dubs D2 the Fixer after rescuing her from a Cannes Airbnb disaster and Courtney recounts how he turned a toddler cowgirl birthday party into a full-blown production. Plus, they talk about cooking, travel, favorite meals, and the little traits they inherited from D1. The episode closes with a heartfelt conversation about Pride month, acceptance, and what it means to live authentically, including Glenn reflecting on coming out to Courtney and Whitney and the love he felt from them both.

You don't start on the top team, you don't love your coach, you're not the “obvious” recruit. So what? Olivia Heidel just turned that story into a pro contract in Germany.Welcome to Oak Performance Radio, where we talk about what it really takes to perform at a high level. The show looks at training, preparation, and decision-making through real athletes, coaches, and experiences, on and off the field.Episode HighlightsIn today's episode, Adam Lane sits down with setter Olivia Heidel to walk through the real path from freshman team and twos squads to Division I, a conference championship, and finally signing to play professionally in Germany. They get into what it's like to be labeled early, play for a mentally and emotionally abusive coach, walk away from a five–year full ride, use the transfer portal the right way, and rebuild your love for the game inside a healthy culture. Parents, athletes, and coaches get an honest look at what actually matters if you want to play at a high level and still like who you are when you're done.Episode OutlineIntroduction and Background of Olivia HeidelOlivia's Journey to Professional VolleyballChallenges and Successes at Michigan TechTransition to IUP and UNCWPreparation for Professional Volleyball in GermanyAdvice for Young AthletesEpisode Chapters00:00 Intro & who is Olivia01:21 Deciding to play pro volleyball02:40 Finding an agent and German club05:32 Signing the contract & leaving in August08:10 Moving overseas and family reactions10:03 Club and high school years on “twos” teams12:19 Illness, COVID year, and lost recruiting time16:45 Full ride to Michigan Tech and toxic environment20:18 Entering the transfer portal and choosing IUP22:26 Winning conference and NCAA run at IUP28:01 Following coaches to UNCW and rebuilding35:00 D2 vs D1 speed, physicality, and coaching37:36 Advice to athletes on labels, fit, and leaving43:10 Adam's reflections and closingConclusionOlivia's path is not the clean highlight reel people expect. She was not the obvious star, did not get the perfect first college fit, and did not ride one school from freshman year to senior night. She put her head down, worked, made brutal decisions when things were unhealthy, and trusted that there was something better on the other side of uncomfortable moves. For athletes and parents, her story is a clear reminder that depth charts, team labels, and early recruiting wins do not decide your ceiling. How you respond, how you train, and what environments you choose matter a lot more.Action TakenPlan and record a follow-up Oak Performance Radio episode with Olivia Heidel after the Nikos episode to update her story from Germany.Olivia will listen to Nikos's Oak Performance Radio appearance to compare experiences with German volleyball.Olivia will connect with Nikos to talk through his time in Germany and swap insights on life and play overseas.CTASubscribe to Oak Performance Radio, share this with an athlete or parent who is stuck on labels, team levels, or a bad fit.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/oakperformancelabInstagram: @oakperformanceConnect with Olivia:@olivia.heidelThank you for listening to Oak Performance Radio.

(00:00) — Welcome and origin spark: Kiki's path starts without an “aha” and a teacher's nudge changes everything.(02:24) — First shadowing, open-heart: A six-hour quadruple bypass leaves her captivated.(03:48) — Type B and present: Owning a goal without over-planning in high school.(04:29) — Balancing D2 hoops and premed: Small-school community and time management pay off.(07:19) — Burnout and a late college switch: Signing in July and embracing a non-linear path.(08:55) — Making premed work: Professors, small classes, and athlete study groups.(10:03) — The grind of student-athlete life: Exhaustion, rigid schedules, and living by the calendar.(11:38) — What gave way: Long-distance friendships and less family check-ins.(13:24) — First app cycle misses: 506 MCAT, six-week prep, content over practice, and low volunteering.(17:17) — Reapplicant moves: Earlier timing, pharmacy tech year, and next-day secondaries.(19:54) — Widening the net: Adding DO schools and securing acceptances.(20:53) — Discovering HPSP: Out-of-state sticker shock leads her to the Navy.(23:39) — Parents' buy-in and commissioning: From doubts to pride; acceptance to October commissioning.(26:16) — Military match realities: Deployment risk and the “assignment” mindset.(30:29) — Final takeaway: Keep trying—“what's meant for you won't miss you.Kiki didn't have a dramatic origin story—no early illness or single defining moment. A high school anatomy teacher's question and a mesmerizing first shadowing of a six-hour open-heart surgery nudged her toward medicine. She kept living fully as a type B student who played Division II basketball, learning time management the hard way: rigid schedules, constant travel, and studying through exhaustion. In this conversation, Kiki unpacks being a reapplicant after a 506 MCAT and limited volunteer hours, what she fixed the second time—earlier timing, practice questions over rereads, quick secondaries—and why she initially applied to only two schools. She explains how medical transport and later working as a pharmacy technician broadened her clinical lens. When out-of-state tuition topped $80,000, she took a hard look at Navy HPSP, did her homework beyond recruiter promises, and chose the scholarship—even after getting off a local waitlist later. Kiki shares how she reframed setbacks, how much community mattered, and what realistically concerns her about the military match: deployment and accepting “assignments.” Her closing message to premeds is clear and steady—keep doing the work, stay intentional, and trust that what's meant for you won't miss you.What You'll Learn:- How a D2 athlete built time management without sacrificing premed- What went wrong in her first cycle and how she changed it- Why she chose Navy HPSP and how she evaluated the trade-offs- Ways transport and pharmacy tech roles expand clinical exposure
D2 guest hosts this episode with Tim as, per usual, Amy's schedule was far too busy for this week's recording. And guess what! Lindsey actually listened to an episode and may have added another listener to the mix! She decided to kill time while getting another tattoo (Something Amy accuses her of copying!) to listen to the most popular episode. (10. Tim Found A What Hidden in the Couch! )We reminisced about traditions and the memories Lindsey had when we went camping and the pitfalls that might arise when trying to recreate memories from one generation to the next. (One of Amy's recurring phrases comes to mind: "Comparison is the Thief of Joy.")The conversation included how traditions evolve as they move from one generation to the other and how this is a natural step as we grow.

Spin Never Lies: How Rapsodo Develops Hitters & Pitchers | Brian Page, Director of MLB & Special Accounts, RapsodoExit velocity only tells you the ball was hit hard. Spin tells you why — and what your barrel and body actually did to create it.Brian Page of Rapsodo joins Rob Crews for a deep dive into ball flight data and what it really takes to develop hitters and pitchers. They break down why spin rate is Rapsodo's bread and butter, how optical measurement of the ball's lace pattern delivers best-in-class spin data, gyro (bullet) spin and why softball is full of it, and the live-on-live overlay that's changing how athletes train.They also get into the philosophy that makes the tech matter: development over report cards, starting every athlete with a baseline before chasing numbers, making technology a community project, and how ball flight data is getting athletes seen and recruited at every level — D2, D3, JUCO and beyond.

Kyle Devitte and Owen Hart discuss a difficult season personally and then preview the upcoming MIAA boys lacrosse playoffs, emphasizing how unusually unpredictable the year has been. They suggest parity might be influenced by more players leaving for prep/private schools and by broader talent saturation driven by youth coaching and participation (noting 208 Massachusetts varsity programs). They highlight surprise teams Winchester (16–1) and Bishop Feehan, and stress roster depth as increasingly decisive, especially across lower divisions. They review notable tight results involving St. John's Prep and identify key D2 contenders (Reading, Billerica, Mansfield, Longmeadow). Sleepers include Newton North, Needham, St. John's Shrewsbury, Weston, Foxborough and Bourne/Mashpee; favorites include Cohasset (D4), Norwell/Medfield (D3), Billerica (D2), and Lincoln-Sudbury (D1). They also pick NCAA winners: Princeton (D1), Adelphi (D2) and Tufts (D3).

This podcast episode of The Athlete Brand Advisor Podcast featured host Greg Glynn interviewing Erin Sarles and Thomas Roe, co-founders of Blueprint to Bluechip™, a company focused on character development for youth athletes. The discussion covered the challenges in modern youth sports, including excessive pressure on athletes and parents, the impact of pay-to-play models, and the importance of restoring fun in sports. Erin shared her background in corporate America and how she applies those skills to help develop young athletes, while Thomas discussed his transition from collegiate football to endurance sports and his current role as chief athletic officer. The conversation explored Blueprint to Bluechip's approach to helping athletes develop character, integrity, and discipline through personalized coaching programs that integrate physical training with life skills development. The episode concluded with information about how interested parties can learn more about their services through their website and social media channels. Blueprint to Bluechip™ Framework Greg discussed with Erin and Thomas their "Blueprint to Blue Chip" framework, which addresses character issues in youth sports. Erin shared her background, highlighting her 20+ years in corporate America and her role as a mother of two high school student athletes, explaining how corporate skills can be applied to developing young athletes. The discussion touched on the importance of teaching athletes that building a brand extends beyond financial gain, with Greg noting that many athletes can't make millions through NIL, but can achieve long-term success by building their athlete brand and platform around their passions and interests. Athlete Transition and Mentorship Program Thomas shared his transition from collegiate football to endurance sports after a neck injury ended his football career. He explained how he shifted from competing in 55 races by age 55 to focusing on mentoring high school athletes, particularly in light of modern issues like NIL deals and transfer portals affecting student-athletes' motivations. Thomas described how Blueprint, which started as a high school mentorship program, evolved under Erin's guidance into Blueprint to Bluechip, now serving as an industry standard for character development alongside physical training. Youth Athlete Development Strategy Erin discussed her approach to helping young athletes develop a strong foundation beyond their sports performance, particularly in the face of overwhelming social media noise and parental expectations driven by the pay-to-play model. She emphasized the importance of helping athletes understand their value extends beyond their athletic abilities and encouraging parents to view sports investments as developmental support rather than financial returns. Youth Athlete Development Challenges Thomas discussed the challenges in working with younger athletes, emphasizing the importance of allowing them to enjoy sports without excessive pressure from parents. He highlighted Blueprint's sweet spot for engagement as sophomore and junior years, advocating for playing multiple sports and realistic expectations about professional careers. Thomas also noted the unique situations faced by inner-city athletes, where sports can serve as a primary source of support, and stressed the need for appropriate support systems around athletes. Youth Sports Reform Discussion Erin expressed concerns about the current state of youth sports, arguing that without corrections, sports risk losing their educational value and fun aspects. She suggested restoring the recreational nature of sports, alleviating financial pressures on families, and improving funding for school athletics. Greg and Erin discussed how addressing these issues could help reduce pressure on youth athletes and provide better perspective on athletic careers, with Greg noting the importance of discussing college opportunities as a way to ease that pressure. College Athlete Development Alternatives Greg and Thomas discussed the pressure on young athletes to pursue D1 sports, noting that most won't go pro and suggesting alternatives like D2, D3 programs, and junior colleges to help manage expectations and restore fun in college sports. Thomas emphasized the importance of social media's impact on athletes' opportunities and highlighted the need to find schools that match athletes' skill sets while providing education and a positive experience. The conversation then shifted to exploring how Blueprint to Bluechip helps athletes develop character and skills, with Greg inviting Erin to discuss specific frameworks and methods being used. Core Identity and Decision-Making Skills Erin explained their approach to helping individuals identify their core identity and develop conscious decision-making skills. She described how they work with students to understand the long-term ramifications of their choices, particularly focusing on how everyday decisions impact their future goals and opportunities. Erin emphasized the importance of making exceptional momentary decisions to achieve excellence, and noted that they work with both students and parents to bring awareness to their actions and decision-making processes.

From Courtenay to California, Langley and now Haida Gwaii! Today we have the story of a guy Mitch had the chance to coach on the BC U17 team… wayyy back, and now is a coaching colleague, Mr. Cal Westbrook. Cal's love for competition and the game was evident early, and a few coaching mentors in his area on Vancouver Island helped nurture his basketball career and ability to compete. Some early blooming, making the Provincial Team as an underager, and the ability to score the ball made for a great high school career! Once his time at GP Vanier Secondary came to an end, Cal started to explore some different options, deciding on heading to a D2 school in California, Cal State Stanislaus. After a frustrating Sophomore year, Cal felt like maybe it was time for some change, and he came back to play for the Trinity Western Spartans. It wasn't a difficult decision as Cal knew players like Tyrell Mara (Portland State) and Jacob Doerksen (UVic) were heading home. A great three-year run and a national title appearance were the topping of the cake for Cal. In the end, Cal finished his degree and now finds himself coaching and in administration in Hadai Gwaii. This part of the story is special and truly where all the good stuff happens. We appreciate Cal taking the time to be with us, and know there will be all sorts of takeaways in this one! Tap in!

Struggling to get recruited for D1 baseball? Subscribe and watch — an MLB agent with 26 years of experience answers the recruiting questions every family is asking. You throw 87 mph. You've been to showcases. You've sent 50 emails. And still — nothing from D1 programs. Sound familiar? In this Q&A episode of The Most Valuable Agent Podcast, MLB agent Matt Hannaford breaks down exactly why the "just do more showcases" advice is failing you, what D1 coaches are actually looking for, and the honest conversations you need to have before your recruiting window closes. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN ✓ Why attending more showcases won't fix your recruiting problem — and what will ✓ The one question you should be asking your coach that almost nobody asks ✓ Why 87 mph is NOT the reason D1 schools aren't calling you back ✓ How the transfer portal changed the D2-to-D1 pathway (and why that's good news) ✓ What to do when 50 emails to college coaches go unanswered In this episode, Matt fields real questions from families navigating the college baseball recruiting process — a junior in North Carolina throwing 87 with zero D1 interest, a dad in Arizona whose son committed D2 but dreams of D1, and an Ohio family that has sent dozens of emails and attended camps with nothing to show for it. Matt pulls from 26 years as an MLB agent to deliver the kind of direct, honest recruiting advice that most travel ball coaches won't give you. He challenges the showcase-obsessed culture, explains how the transfer portal has rewritten the D2-to-D1 playbook, and walks you through the exact conversations you need to have with coaches and with your own family to figure out where you truly stand. If you're a parent trying to help your son get recruited, or a player wondering why the phone isn't ringing, this episode is the reality check you didn't know you needed. HAVE A RECRUITING QUESTION?

In this episode, Dr. Puder sits down with Franciska de Beer, MSc, first author of landmark HAMLETT-OPHELIA Consortium papers in JAMA Psychiatry, World Psychiatry, and Psychological Medicine. They dive deep into the psychiatrist effect in first-episode psychosis, revealing that individual psychiatrists explain approximately 10% of variance in positive symptom improvement and daily functioning, even after controlling for medication dose. The conversation explores groundbreaking HAMLETT findings on early antipsychotic tapering versus maintenance, dopamine supersensitivity after high-affinity D2 blockers, sex differences in treatment outcomes and clozapine levels during menopause, and why shared decision-making and reflective functioning matter more than ever in psychosis care.

Nate Tice is joined by QB expert Derrik Klassen to deep dive on the 2026 NFL Draft quarterback class. The two quarterback gurus start with the three prospects at the top of the class, as they break down the tape of Indiana's Fernando Mendoza (and his potential fit with the Las Vegas Raiders), LSU's Garrett Nussmeier and Alabama's Ty Simpson to determine who's worthy of a first-round pick. Next, Nate and Derrik move down the board to some intriguing late day two or three signal callers like Miami's Carson Beck, Drew Allar from Penn State and Combine star Taylen Green from Arkansas. Finally, the guys wrap things up with a few late-round dart throws to keep an eye on, including Cole Payton, Luke Altmyer, Cade Klubnik, Jack Strand (representing D2) and more.
