Podcasts about going pro

ON THIS week's podcast, we are joined by Cill na Martra boxer Christina Desmond after a great start to life as a professional boxer.Friend of the show, Desmond took her record to 5-0 after an impressive second-round stoppage win in her latest bout.Up against English fighter Sherie Barnes in a welterweight contest scheduled for eight rounds in Alicante, Desmond showed her class with an early finish, ending the fight with some quality combinations. Fresh off her fifth straight win, she chats to Kieran McCarthy about her pro journey, the challenges, the enjoyment, and whether the Katie Taylor undercard on September 5th is a possibility.Also on the show, we delve into some GAA action as the Cork hurlers lost to Limerick (2-17 to 1-21) in the Munster SHC final.The result means the Rebels have to go through the All-Ireland quarter-final route and host Matthew Hurley was made to fulfil a forfeit for this week's podcast.The Cork footballers are in action this weekend as they face Donegal in Ballybofey and we chat about the game not being shown on GAA+ nor RTÉ.All this and more on this week's Star Sport Podcast.

The crew is back for what may actually be “The Real Injury Podcast” — updates, laughs, and a frank conversation about the realities of racing and training. Garrick, Nick, Jackson and Lisa kick off with life updates (including Jackson's new cat Arlo and Garrick's sore calf), then dig into a long discussion on what “going pro” really means — the time, sacrifice and patience it takes, the short-course migration to long-course racing, and whether athletes should rethink turning pro early. They also cover practical coaching advice for training while on vacation (how much to do, swim and spin tips, and keeping intensity smart), share favorite recent workouts, and trade grip-offs in a raucous “Pass or Smash” segment. Expect honest coaching takeaways, behind-the-scenes pro life realities, gear chat and plenty of banter. Perfect for triathletes who want blunt, useful advice—and a few good laughs—about staying fit, avoiding burnout, and making smarter race decisions.   Head to pillarperformance.shop or TheFeed.com/pillar and enter code REALTRI15 for 15% off first-time purchases.   If you want to go above and beyond consider supporting us over on Patreon by clicking here!   Follow us on Instagram at @realtrisquad for updates on new episodes.    Individual Instagram handles: Garrick Loewen - @loeweng Nicholas Chase - @race_chase Jackson Laundry - @jacksonlaundrytri Lisa Becharas - @lisabecharas  

What if the odds against you were never the final word?JWalk, also known as John Walker, was born three and a half months premature at just three pounds, one ounce. Doctors told his mother he likely wouldn't live long and would face serious lifelong challenges. But his mother chose to fight for him, and what followed became a story of faith, prayer, resilience, and a declaration spoken over his life that changed everything.In this conversation, JWalk shares how he went from a fragile child with serious health challenges to growing up in some of the toughest environments, discovering football, earning a scholarship to USC, winning national championships, and building a life rooted in faith and purpose. His story is about identity, belief, and what can happen when someone chooses to keep walking toward the future God placed inside of them. If you've ever felt limited by your circumstances, this will give you a grounded reminder that your beginning does not have to define your becoming.Connect with JWalk:https://www.instagram.com/johnwalkerpro/https://coach-j-walk.com/Connect with Amy Sylvis:https://www.linkedin.com/in/amysylvis/Contact Us:https://www.sylviscapital.comhttps://www.sylviscapital.com/webinarinfo@sylviscapital.comJoin the Passive Investor Masterclasshttps://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Q9R6-XCFSomj0A_x40s-iw#/registration00:00 – Intro02:43 – More Than a Name: Who JWalk Is 04:48 – Born Against the Odds10:34 – The Moment a Declaration Changed His Life16:02 – Growing Up Tough and Learning to Survive21:38 – Faith, Vision, and Believing Before You See It30:03 – When Others Don't See Your Vision34:02 – Sneaking Into Football and Finding His Place39:36 – The Game That Changed Everything45:49 – From High School Football to USC 52:42 – Faith as the Foundation

Originally uploaded March 26th, reloaded April 20th. Jeffrey Mosher welcomes back Teri Sand, Business Services Manager, CAMW!, Capital Area Michigan Works! Lansing, serving Ingham, Eaton, and Clinton Counties. This discussion focused on the Subject: Going PRO Talent Fund awards, 2026 Cycle 1 Teri, As a refresher, what is the Going PRO Talent Fund, and what is CAMW!'s role in the process? What were the results of the first round (i.e., Cycle 1) of awards this year? How much did, and did not, reach businesses in Greater Lansing? How can a business make itself more attractive for Going PRO? What does a successful application look like? Where can interested businesses learn more? LANSING, Mich. — The Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO) has awarded $25 million in the latest round of Going PRO Talent Fund grants to 449 businesses to support the training of 12,822 Michigan workers, including $1.7 million to 73 businesses in the Lansing region. This regional investment will support the training of 583 new hires and 548 current employees in high-demand, skilled positions. Including this grant cycle, the Going PRO Talent Fund has awarded $323.4 million to support 8,966 businesses since its launch in 2014, helping more than 241,600 Michigan workers train, upskill or advance in high-skill careers. The Going PRO Talent Fund supports a range of employer-led training options, including classroom instruction, on-the-job training for new employees, and Registered Apprenticeships that lead to industry-recognized credentials. Grants through the Going PRO Talent Fund are awarded in partnership with Michigan Works! Agencies. Employers are encouraged to work closely with their local Michigan Works! Service Center to identify key training needs and develop customized plans to fill workforce gaps. All training programs must result in industry-recognized credentials that enhance workforce mobility and flexibility. “There are few investments that benefit both sides of the workforce development equation like Going PRO Talent Fund, which is why we are so proud to play a part in facilitating these grants,” said Capital Area Michigan Works! CEO Carrie Rosingana. “Businesses get a stronger workforce, workers get more skills and better pay, and communities in Greater Lansing and around the state get stronger local economies.” A full list of Going PRO Talent Fund Cycle 1 grant recipients for the 2026 fiscal year is available online at Michigan.gov/TalentFund. Additional funding will be available through the second cycle of Talent Fund awards, which will open in Spring 2026.

What does it really take to go from pre-professional student to professional ballet dancer? Charlotte Junge, a company member with Madison Ballet, shares the unfiltered version of her journey from competition dance roots in Houston to training at Boston Ballet School through the height of COVID, to landing her contract via an Instagram DM from Artistic Director Ja' Malik. But the conversation doesn't stop at the audition story. Charlotte gets refreshingly honest about the financial realities of dancing at a smaller non-union company, the side jobs it takes to make rent, and the performance anxiety that caught her completely off guard once she turned professional. She also talks about how becoming a certified Pilates instructor gave her a second career path, a deeper understanding of her own body, and something she didn't expect: a sense of identity outside the studio. Charlotte's story is a masterclass in resilience, self-awareness, and figuring it out one season at a time.

Stephanie Sammons: Financial Planner by Day, Songwriter by Calling | Curious Goldfish with Jason EnglishHost Jason English welcomes Stephanie Sammons to Curious Goldfish in Nashville for a conversation about her dual life as a Dallas-based financial planner and an emerging songwriter. Stephanie explains her holistic approach to wealth management—combining financial planning, tax planning, and investment management—while emphasizing the importance of behavior, long-term perspective, and living fully rather than following rigid rules. She shares how she decided to “go pro” as a songwriter without leaving her career, motivated by a desire to avoid regret and stop waiting for permission to be herself, including encouragement from songwriter Mary Gauthier to claim the title of songwriter. Stephanie discusses her Southern Baptist upbringing in Missouri, how coming out created a decade-long family disconnect, and how reconciliation eventually developed into mutual respect, including her parents' relationship with her wife and their grandchildren. The episode explores themes of faith, nuance, fear, optimism, and how personal experiences become songwriting material, including her song “Faithless” and the origins of “Innocence Lost,” inspired by a childhood memory of shooting a bird with a BB gun and later shaped in a Mary Gauthier workshop. Stephanie notes she released her 2024 album “Time and Evolution” and is currently recording a second full-length album with Mary Bragg, expected in early 2026. The episode closes with Stephanie performing “Innocence Lost.”00:00 Music, Faith, and Finding a Hopeful Perspective01:01 Welcome to Curious Goldfish + Meet Stephanie Sammons03:15 Nashville Intro & Why Her Songs Hit So Hard04:07 Holistic Financial Planning: Retirement, Spending, and Mindset06:53 Market Chaos, Long-Term Optimism, and Tuning Out the Noise08:05 Day Job vs. Art: Going Pro Without Quitting10:57 ‘Build Your Own Adventure' + Claiming the Title Songwriter12:06 No More Excuses: Regret, Calling, and Making the Leap14:10 Faith Deconstruction in Americana Music (and Why It's Taboo)16:52 Southern Baptist Roots, Sexuality, and a Complicated Belief18:10 The ‘Billboard Sign' Lyric: Family Rejection and Its Aftermath18:59 Rebuilding the Relationship: From Pedestal to Reconciliation19:40 The Turning Point: Letting Go and Parents Coming Back Around21:33 Agreeing to Disagree: Family, Marriage, Kids, and Mutual Respect22:30 Will Sexuality Always Be the Headline?

What happens when the sport you've dedicated your life to suddenly gets taken away from you?At 17, Nina Derron was a Swiss Junior Champion in triathlon, duathlon, and the 10km. And then chronic back pain stopped everything...What followed was nearly 3 years away from competition, a PhD in Clinical Science from ETH Zurich, and one of the most remarkable comeback stories in triathlon.In this episode, Nina walks us through the injury that derailed her junior career, how she rebuilt her relationship with the sport, and the deliberate decision, at 32, to finally go all-in as a full-time professional triathlete. We also dive into Brett Sutton's RPE-based training philosophy, why Nina barely looks at her data, what it's like training alongside the Chinese national team, and the importance of bone density screening for young endurance athletes.A story about patience, resilience, and trusting the process: for athletes and coaches at every level.--Connect with Nina: @nina_derronConnect with Bruna: @justbrunathingsConnect with Fabi: @endurance_fabiSign-up for augo's launch event: https://luma.com/8l4kbup7

In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with my good buddy Vince Maltz, a high-performance mindset coach who works with NHL players, Division I athletes, and elite performers. We dig into what “mindset training” actually looks like in real life, beyond the clichés, and why it's inseparable from physiology, recovery, and nervous system regulation. We also get into the modern performance environment: fake expertise, too many voices in the kitchen, and why big organizations adapt slowly. Vince breaks down centralized vs. decentralized leadership, how athletes can learn to think for themselves inside a system, and why being a “nerd” at your sport is becoming a competitive advantage.  From there, we hit practical tools: how athletes move from conscious competence to unconscious competence faster, why distributed cognition matters in team sports, and what individuals can do today to improve performance through breathing, cold exposure, communication, and environment.

LeeAnaca "Lee" Moore (Pacific Northwest Ballet) and Natalie Bowman (St. Louis Ballet) are the duo behind Tights Under, the popular social media account showcasing the realities of pre-professional and professional ballet life. In this episode, Lee and Natalie get candid about their journeys from training to landing their first professional contracts. They discuss the pivotal moments that shaped their careers, including their transformative (and humbling) experiences at PNB's Professional Division program — where pointe shoes at the barre at 8:30 AM became the new normal. The conversation covers the biggest adjustments from student to professional life, from navigating company class dynamics to finally having a "place" instead of constantly fighting for your spot. They're refreshingly honest about early career finances, the reality of needing parental support, and what it takes to make a dancer's salary work. Lee and Natalie also share the origin story of Tights Under — how boredom backstage during Swan Lake sparked what became a brand — and what it takes to maintain their content while dancing full-time. They offer practical advice for aspiring dancers interested in building their own social media presence, emphasizing authenticity over perfection. From memorable mentorship advice like "dance like you smell good" to their ballet Mount Rushmores, this conversation offers an honest look at what it really takes to go pro.

Artificial intelligence is starting to reshape the sports betting landscape, and this episode digs into what that actually means going forward. The crew breaks down how AI is being used, where it actually matters, and where the hype gets out of control. From there, the conversation shifts to a so-called “documented” loser in the betting space and what that situation reveals about public tracking, transparency, and credibility. The episode also gets real about the harsh realities of trying to go pro in sports betting — variance, lifestyle pressure, misconceptions, and what most people underestimate about the grind. As always, the discussion branches into broader industry truths and uncomfortable realities bettors don't always like to hear. Circle Back is hosted by Jacob Gramegna and features Joey Knish and Mike (Mr. PeanutBettor). This episode also welcomes two-time betting contest winner Chris Dierkes, who brings firsthand perspective on competing, winning, and surviving at the highest levels of sports betting.

What does a professional soccer life actually feel like once the childhood dream meets the calendar? We pulled a powerful highlight reel that strips away the gloss and sits with the truth: long seasons, structured mornings, surprising boredom, and the discipline it takes to recover well enough to perform again tomorrow. You'll hear a veteran voice describe the rhythm of training, the hidden weight of downtime, and the small choices that add up to consistency over ten to twelve months seasons.We move from personal routine to place and purpose. Living in San Francisco and training in Oakland, our guest bikes, ferries, and drives through two distinct communities, and that daily path becomes more than a commute, it's a reminder of who he represents. That sense of connection fuels professionalism: better sleep, smarter meals, and mindful recovery aren't just boxes to tick; they're a commitment to the people in the stands. Along the way, you'll pick up practical insights on pre-hab, mobility, hydration, and mental reset strategies that separate pros who endure from those who fade.Then we tackle the question fans always ask: how different are the USL Championship and MLS? The answer avoids easy clichés. MLS starters near national team pools carry sharper pace and decision-making built on steady minutes. The back end of rosters overlaps with USL through loans and evolving careers. Bigger MLS budgets, international spots, and roster mechanisms widen the talent funnel and improve facilities and support. Still, opportunity thrives in both leagues for players who want clarity, minutes, and growth.We close by naming the traits that make clubs truly great: environment, connection, and belonging. When ownership, staff, and players align on standards and relationships, emotions become energy and on-field chemistry follows. That culture turns good teams into resilient ones. If this conversation hits home, follow and share the show, drop a review with your biggest insight, and send it to a teammate who needs the push. Your support helps more players, coaches, and fans find a smarter path through the game we love.

I'm excited to share this conversation with Drew Hunter. I've wanted to have Drew on the show for a long time, and this episode did not disappoint. Drew runs professionally for ASICS and lives in Boulder, Colorado, but his path in the sport has been anything but typical. He went pro straight out of high school, turning down a full scholarship to Oregon, and has now spent nearly a decade navigating the ups and downs of professional running before making a sponsor change to ASICS last year. In this conversation, we talk about what it was really like going pro so young, how different that decision might look today with NIL, and how his perspective has shifted ten years into his career. Drew opens up about setting goals based on what genuinely excites him, why road racing has become such a big focus, and how he's thinking about longevity in the sport as both an athlete and a dad. We also talk about family life, faith, and the importance of community, especially as he and his wife prepare to welcome their third child. What I appreciated most about this episode is how grounded Drew is in who he is now. He reflects honestly on early loneliness, big expectations, and how his definition of success has changed over time. This conversation goes well beyond race results and gets into what it looks like to build a meaningful life alongside big athletic goals. I really enjoyed this one, and I hope you do too.
