In this episode, host Bidemi Ologunde examines the career, analytical philosophy, and remarkable adaptability of Miami Heat head coach Erik Spoelstra, who rose from the organization's video room to become the NBA's longest-tenured active head coach, a two-time NBA champion, six-time NBA Finals coach, and the newly appointed head coach of the USA Men's National Team for the 2027 FIBA World Cup and 2028 Olympic Games. How has Spoelstra continually redesigned his systems around dramatically different rosters, from the LeBron James era to Miami's more recent underdog playoff runs? What role do film study, statistical evidence, matchup data, experimentation, and unconventional defensive schemes play in his decision-making? The episode explores how Spoelstra has used switching, zone defenses, blitzes, drop coverages, and constant tactical variation to keep opponents solving new problems, while building an organizational culture capable of sustaining competitiveness across nearly two decades. What can leaders beyond basketball learn from a coach whose greatest competitive advantage may be his willingness to keep adapting?

This past week I had the privilege spending a week training with the Canadian Senior Men's National Team and came away with a ton of lessons that coaches at any level can apply to their own gym. In this episode, I share: How the head coach planned each practice around player availability, injuries, load management, and practice goals How they designed drills to maximize volume, efficiency, and game-like reps Specific training ideas for serve receive, middle attacks, blocking, and 6-on-6 How they used competition and scoring systems to increase intensity How technology and a serving machine were used to replicate game speed The importance of players being prepared and warmed up well before practice What stood out most about the mindset and competitiveness of the players Practical lessons you can take from Team Canada and apply in your own gym immediately Click Here to join Digital Volleyball Academy - www.digitalvolleyballacademy.com Join my workshop at http://volleyballworkshop.com Reach out via Instagram @BrianSingh_CoachB  

In this episode of Dean's Chat, Dr. Jeffrey Jensen sits down with Rajat Lahiri, DPM, a graduate of the Arizona College of Podiatric Medicine at Midwestern University, to discuss his journey into podiatric medicine, his surgical training, and his growing expertise in minimally invasive bunion surgery.Dr. Lahiri brings a distinctive background to foot and ankle medicine. He graduated with honors from the University of Pittsburgh with a degree in bioengineering, where he developed an interest in solving complex problems and improving patient care through medical innovation. Wanting to apply that problem-solving mindset directly to patients, he pursued his Doctor of Podiatric Medicine degree at AZCPM, graduating with Pi Delta honors.Following podiatric medical school, Dr. Lahiri completed his residency training at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle, one of the country's highly regarded podiatric surgical training programs. His residency provided extensive experience in reconstructive foot and ankle surgery and helped shape his approach to complex surgical care.A major area of Dr. Lahiri's professional interest is minimally invasive bunion surgery, an evolving approach designed to correct bunion deformities through smaller incisions. His interest and experience in minimally invasive techniques have led to invitations to lecture at multiple state and national conferences.Originally from Seattle, Dr. Lahiri now serves patients throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. Beyond medicine, he enjoys spending time with his fiancée and family, traveling, trying foods from around the world, and following football and soccer. A devoted supporter of the U.S. Men's National Team, he had the opportunity to see the team compete live during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

The Athletic’s Tamerra Griffin joins Sarah for the fourth installment of our series, “Built By Women: The Story of Soccer in the U.S.” Tamerra discusses what fans can expect in the lead-up to the 2027 Women’s World Cup, breaks down the qualification process and possibilities, provides her biggest locks and question marks on the current U.S. Women's National Team roster, and predicts which other nations are likely to be contenders. Finally, she assigns a little homework (Slicework, if you will) to help us all be better, more informed soccer fans. “Built By Women: The Story of Soccer in the U.S.” was inspired by the FIFA Men’s World Cup — ‘cause you know Big Citrus was watching and thinking about the *women’s* national team (the one with FOUR stars on their jersey!). Unlike pretty much any other country in the world, the United States fell in love with footie primarily through women – through the success of the ‘96 Olympic gold medalists, the ‘99ers, and all of our truly global superstar women players. So with next summer’s FIFA Women’s World Cup in Brazil and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics in two years, we thought it was a good time to trace the roots of the beautiful game here in the United States.

Today we highlight the USA Women's National Team and Elite Team competing in the International Cup in Oklahoma City, noting Japan's strength, Patty Gasso's difficult roster choices, and the positive impact of the pro league on U.S. players. The City of the Week is Racine, Wisconsin, with a connection to "A League of Their Own". They address a listener's concern about 8U rec softball prioritizing winning over teaching and equal participation. In the leadoff segment they discuss recurring scandals of bending or breaking rules in youth sports and the lessons it teaches kids. In the cleanup segment they react to a court injunction granting an extra year of college eligibility to a group of athletes, creating roster and scholarship uncertainty. The coaching tip argues player development primarily comes from practice reps, with games serving as tests rather than the main development tool.Support the show

Cooling off a bit today & tomorrow with high temps in the mid-to-upper 70's. Gonna get some more pavers laid for the firepit! On the show today, we talked about the things we hate when we go grocery shopping, and Grant Bilse of the Wisco Sports Show joined us just after 8am to talk Packer training camp and the Brewers moves at the MLB trade deadline. In the news this morning, the bodies of two missing kayakers from Chicago are found, the Mayor of Madison demands that the encampment comes down, a Wisconsin man took his helicopter to the sporting goods store to avoid traffic, Christina Applegate gets out of the hospital, Aaron Rodgers goes after Anthony Fauci, and there have now been a couple of deaths from the diarrhea lettuce.

We let you know what's on TV & streaming today/tonight and what's new on New Release Tuesday. "Spider Man: Brand New Day" officially broke the opening weekend box office record, but one theater had to be evacuated after somebody let out a hellacious fart.

A doctor in Brazil is helping kids that are going in for surgery so it's not so intimidating…and a dog from Pennsylvania is found in Wisconsin! Elsewhere in sports, the head coach for the US men's National Team is sticking around for awhile, UFC fighter Allan Nascimento has passed away, the injuries at 49er's training camp continue to pile up, and the Triple Crown might not be a "thing" anymore.

This week, Jason is joined by professional soccer player, FC Dallas defender, US Men's National Team player, Gold Cup champion, World Cup participant, and founder of the Shaq Moore Foundation, Shaq Moore, for a conversation about the business of professional soccer, the financial realities of playing overseas, World Cup pressure, MLS salaries, and building a lasting career in a sport that continues to grow in the United States. Shaq reflects on realizing at a young age that soccer could become his career, and how attending the 2010 World Cup helped fully shift his focus back to the sport. With a father who also played professionally, Shaq grew up around the game, but his path was far from traditional. As a teenager, he left the United States to pursue his dream in Spain, where he spent years grinding through lower divisions, learning the language, and fighting for every opportunity. Jason and Shaq dive into the financial side of that journey, including what it was like earning roughly 800 to 900 euros per month early in his career, dealing with teams that went months without paying players, and learning how to live on a budget while chasing a professional dream. Shaq opens up about the uncertainty of playing overseas, the role agents play in protecting young athletes, and why those difficult early years shaped him both personally and professionally. Shaq also breaks down how soccer contracts work, including transfer fees, buyout clauses, bonuses, incentives, and what it means when a player is sent on loan. He explains the business behind his move back to MLS, his reported transfer to Nashville SC, and how returning to the United States helped position him for a potential World Cup opportunity. The conversation also explores Shaq's experience with the US Men's National Team, from winning the Gold Cup and scoring the fastest goal in USMNT history to getting called into a World Cup qualifying window while vacationing on an island. Shaq shares what it was like being thrown into one of the most important games of qualifying, eventually making the 2022 World Cup roster, and playing against England and Iran on the world stage. With the 2026 FIFA World Cup approaching, Jason and Shaq discuss the state of the US team, the pressure of playing on home soil, World Cup ticket prices, player bonuses, endorsements, and how making a World Cup roster can change an athlete's brand and financial future. Shaq also gives his thoughts on the US group, possible contenders, and what it is really like playing against Lionel Messi. Beyond the field, Shaq opens up about financial planning as a professional athlete, budgeting for a career with an uncertain shelf life, working with a financial advisor, investing for the future, and learning from the stories of athletes who made millions but struggled after their playing careers ended. Shaq also shares the work he is doing through the Shaq Moore Foundation, including youth soccer clinics, food drives, community initiatives, and opportunities for kids in Fort Lauderdale and Trinidad and Tobago. He reflects on fatherhood, life in Dallas, future coaching goals, and the importance of staying grounded through every stage of the journey. From grinding in Spain for less than $1,000 a month to representing the United States on the World Cup stage, Shaq reveals what it really takes to stay the course, survive setbacks, and build a career in professional soccer. Shaq reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss! Subscribe to the Trading Secrets podcast!
