Initially hired by former Athletic Director Bob Devaney to start a strength and conditioning program at Nebraska in 1969. Nebraska is recognized as the first university to have a paid strength coach and celebrates it’s 50th anniversary of Husker Power August 2019. Epley served 35 years as NU’s head strength coach for football helping the Huskers win 356 games in 35 years and five national championships. He then moved into an associate athletic director position to oversee the design and construction of the Tom and Nancy Osborne Athletic Complex and Hawks Championship Center before retiring from NU in 2006. Epley left Nebraska to serve as director of coaching performance for the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) which he founded in Lincoln in 1978 but had moved to Colorado Springs. Epley had served as president and chairman of the board of directors for five years. The group honored Epley with its first National Strength Coach-of-the-Year Award in 1980, and in 1993 he was presented the NSCA’s first-ever Lifetime Achievement Award. In 2009 the NSCA Board of Directors changed the name of the award to the Boyd Epley Award for Lifetime Achievement. Epley is recognized as the most decorated strength coach in history and for his national contribution in strength and conditioning, he was named a 2014 Lifetime Achievement Award winner by the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition. Boyd was also honored by the Nebraska Football Hall of Fame in 1993 with the Lyell Bremser Merit Award.Epley was named to the U.S. Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches Hall of Fame in June 2003. He was also honored on the March 2001 cover of American Football Monthly magazine, which tabbed him as the Godfather of Strength and Conditioning. Lindy’s magazine recognized Epley as one of its Top 100 Most Important College Football Sports Figures of the Century. Epley was one of five Huskers on the top 100 list, joining Hall of Fame coaches Bob Devaney and Tom Osborne, Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Rodgers and two-time Outland Trophy winner Dave Rimington. In June of 2010, John D. Lukacs of ESPN said “Epley is arguably the single most important individual in the history of strength and conditioning in college athletics.” Epley served as a team captain of the National Champion track team at Phoenix Junior College and starred as a pole vaulter. He then became the Nebraska pole vault record holder as a junior at Nebraska and was the Huskers first 15-foot indoor vaulter. A back injury as a senior ended his vaulting career but opened the door for him to create the strength coaching profession which now has over 55,000 certified strength & conditioning coaches. Epley received his associate’s degree from Phoenix JC in 1968, his bachelor’s degree in 1970 from Nebraska and added a master’s degree in education from Nebraska in 1972. Epley is married to the former Jane Lilyhorn of Holdrege, Neb., and they have a son, Jay Robert who is a certified strength coach, and a daughter, Jenna Shea who has a PhD in Nursing Practice and married a certified strength coach, Chase Beideck. The Beideck’s have three sons, Cash, Colt and Crew. In This Episode We Discuss: What accomplishment is he most proud of. Biggest mistake he has made and how he learned from it.

Today we are talking to Rob Lea and we think you’ll find this one pretty inspirational. In 2019, Rob completed what he has dubbed the Ultimate World Triathlon. In the span of 6 months, he summited Mount Everest, swam the English Channel, and rode his bike across America. This is a man that isn’t afraid to take on hard challenges, in fact, he thrives on them.Rob also had his eyes on the greater good as he summited Mount Everest with his now wife, Caroline Gleich (did I fail to mention he married his dream girl in the midst of all this?). Rob & Caroline used their climb as an opportunity to raise awareness for women’s equality, drawing attention to the implicit biases that exist toward women.We explore all of this and more on today’s episode with Rob. So settle in to whatever it is you’re doing and enjoy.In This Episode We Discuss:What inspired the Ultimate World TriathlonThe difference between suffering while climbing Everest, swimming the English Channel and biking across AmericaHow Rob prepared his body for each leg of the journey (like gaining 30 pounds in 30 days before the swim)How to develop coping mechanisms to get through hard momentsWhat motivated the “tri for equality” aspectChallenges for female athletes he’s witnessed first-hand as the partner of a pro athleteWhat someone can do to understand their implicit biasWhat he misses when he doesn’t have a “next” adventure planned.Thought Experiment:Rob’s motivation to take on these monumental challenges is simple, but so inspiring. To paraphrase, it gives him something to look forward to. Finding a reason to want to better yourself everyday is not easy. But if you can find a challenge you look forward to (one that causes you to train, study or prepare incessantly) you’ll be forced to become an improved version of yourself. We live for the feeling that comes along when you finally put all your training and preparation to the test - there’s nothing better.Today’s thought experiment may sound simple but might be challenging to answer. What are you looking forward to? It’s perfectly fine to look forward to your beach vacation - we work hard to save the money to afford to do such things - but, beyond that, I’m asking about something you can achieve. Something that is simultaneously a challenge but also seems achievable with application. It can be as simple as making time to read a book or as daunting as climbing Mount Everest. What are you looking forward to and what will it take to make it reality? Until next time.Resources:Follow Rob’s adventures on Instagram!Interrupt your implicit bias with this worksheet!Learn about the Big Mountain Dreams Foundation!Get yourself some real estate in Park City from Rob!

BALANCED (adj): having different elements in the correct proportionsPURSUITS (noun): an activity of a specified kind, especially a recreational or athletic oneThe word “balance” is in the title of our podcast, but what does it really mean? Kristi & I ask all our guests how they find balance in their lives, and of all of our standard wrap questions, this one makes our guests pause the most. Often our guests say things like “Oh, I think I’m still working on that one” or “I haven’t figured that out…” but then go on to give an answer that really speaks to our perspective of balance. So, we decided we should probably record an episode about what balance really means!IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:What we mean by balanceWhat balance looks like in each of our livesWhy it’s important to have balanceHow to cultivate more balance in your lifeKEY TAKEAWAYS:Know your values/priorities - check in on them frequently as they may change over timeBe willing to say no - some things just aren’t worth your time (check in on your reasons for wanting to say yes - scarcity (I’ll never have an opportunity like this again) or people-pleasing (I don’t want to let them down).Look at life as seasons - don’t try to fit everything in at once, don’t seek balance in each day, but over the long term (see-saw analogy)Have multiple interests that carry equal weight & importance in your life not just by time or money but by the emotional value the hold for you.THOUGHT EXPERIMENT:It’s a crazy time in the world. Most of us are on some kind of lockdown or at least practicing social distancing. For many of us, our routine has been stripped away. Our lives look like shells of what they used to be. It may seem impossible to prioritize your values right now, but we beg to differ.Times like this are a perfect opportunity to reflect on what really matters and to start building habits to prioritize your values from a blank slate. Take a few moments to think about what truly fulfills you in life. Are you prioritizing these elements or are other things taking precedent? How can you give more attention to your current values? Even in this chaos, we can choose what gets our attention. Make it count.Sending lots of love & health your way.xo,K + J

I never said no to a new opportunity.”“When you want something, you really do need to make sure that people know you want it. Don’t just assume that because you’re good or you’re the next in line, that you’re gonna get the opportunity.”“To me, knowledge is power.”Thought Experiment:Jamie shared so many valuable lessons with us in this episode, one of which is around managing fear & anxiety. Anytime we’re pursuing our own personal limits and pushing ourselves outside of our comfort zone we’re going to be confronted with an uncomfortable feeling of incapability.Jamie shared her process of managing her fear and anxiety through preparation. It’s through this preparation that you get yourself into action, you develop your knowledge, you develop your skills and it helps you to manage that fear through developing your confidence.So, friends, if you’re facing a big challenge that seems impossible we encourage you to dig deep.
