Calvin Baze is an NSCA Certified Personal Trainer currently working at Snap Fitness in Long Beach. He grew up in the tiny town of Ocean Park, Washington. (Calvin and I grew up on the same street, just not at the same time.) Within the first 10 minutes of the interview it becomes obvious that Calvin is a deep-thinker who understands how important it is to consider the effects on his actions on other people and his own life. We start with a psychological analysis to detect any psychopathic tendencies, then move into his training ideologies. He lays out many of his guiding principles and we get to peek under the hood at what makes a guy like this tick. Later in the podcast we move into more personal territory and discuss our childhood memories and how they affect us in adult life. Calvin talks about his failure to express his childhood pain to anyone because he doesn't want to appear as if he is seeking sympathy. He talks about how he has used the hardships of his past to propel him into a brighter future. We also talk about being part of an often-forgotten marginalized group: poor whites. We talk about experiencing classism and prejudice because of socioeconomic status. Other topics include: Calvin's mentors and what they have taught him. Jeff's sloppy joints (hyper mobility) the powers of journaling and self-discovery. Books that can change your life. The "Canoe Method" for mind-clearing meditation. Emotional vs. Physical strength and how to have both. Calvin is an amazing young man and I cannot wait to see where he goes in life. I have no doubt that he will accomplish every one of his goals. Settle-in and get comfortable because Calvin Baze is about to teach you the tricks of building strength throughout your life and these are lessons that you don't want to miss.

We also learn about the importance of recognizing your season of life and embracing it for a more balanced sense of self – no more living in the black and white areas of life! Most importantly, Noelle teaches us that we must not judge ourselves harshly. Everything we experience is an opportunity to learn, grow, and live in joy. I hope you enjoy this inspiring convo!

Most training programs focus on simply building strength. That’s an important part, but it ignores crucial parts of the human condition. We don’t naturally move the way we often train. But what if we trained based on how we move? That would lead to more balanced strength and reduce the likelihood of common injuries.   About Rocky Snyder With nearly thirty years of experience as a trainer, Rocky Snyder has a firm grasp on the connection between strength and mobility. Rocky is a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist, an NSCA-Certified Personal Trainer, Certified in Applied Functional Science, NASM-Corrective Exercise Specialist, a licensed US Soccer Coach, and a USA Weightlifting Coach.   Training For Dynamic Movement In today’s episode, Rocky explains the need to think not just about how we train, but why we train the way we do. There is a danger in taking for granted the way we exercise. Most workouts don’t actually consider the way that you and the population as a whole actually move. Rocky advocates training based on how we move outside of the gym, rather than just on strength for strength’s sake.   The Role of Asymmetrical Movements By taking the history of how we train into consideration, Rocky sees that we’ve been ignoring the elements of natural movement. This has led to an increase in injuries. When we train with asymmetrical natural movements in mind, we become more limber and less likely to get hurt. By utilizing unilateral and contralateral training, the spine and joints are unlocked so that we can freely move in all directions with strength. How can you train to support your movements outside of the gym? Leave a message in the comments on the episode page!   In this episode The need to consider why we train the way we do [2:10] Focusing your training on balance [4:50] Techniques for supporting supple movements in athletes [9:53] Three principles to include when designing a training program [16:55] Important considerations for training under load [27:30] Building muscle as a protective organ to increase longevity [34:50]   Quotes “Training intelligently is actually stepping back and looking at the approach to training that we’re taking right now where an individual, as well as the population, is in regards to their ability to move and designing a program based on that information.” [4:02] “The way in which we’re training our athletes is to be like a very strong tree; to be rooted into the ground and support tremendous weight up above instead of being a subtle tiger.” [9:18] “There’s a place for kettlebells, barbells, and dumbbells. But there’s also a place for owning movement in your body that will regulate a greater amount of strength and performance.” [16:42] “The purpose here is to try to unlock your potential by giving you movements that actually train the whole body to perform and not just one joint. And the effect is immediate!” [45:54]   Key Takeaways Most workout regimes are based on bilateral action. But this is not how we normally move. By focusing on asymmetrical split-stance exercises, you will both improve strength and increase natural balance. This will allow you to move freely and avoid injury. A comprehensive workout needs to be a combination of strength training with dynamic movements. To ignore one part of the picture is to create a potentially harmful imbalance.   Links Find Rocky Snyder online Follow Rocky on Instagram | Facebook | Linkedin Return to Center by Rocky Snyder Anatomy in Motion Gray Institute Check out the full show notes for this episode here   Follow Emily on Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | YouTube Podcast production & marketing support by the team at Counterweight Creative

Rocky Snyder grew up outside of Boston and moved to Santa Cruz in 1991. He met his wife in 1997, and is a proud father to a daughter and son. He is an accomplished and avid surfer and snowboarder, and well known as a regular on KSCO 1080am since 2002, with his Surf and Ski Report every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings at 6:25 am, and every weekday on KPIG 107.5fm at 8:25 am. Rocky is a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist, an NSCA-Certified Personal Trainer, Certified in Applied Functional Science, NASM-Corrective Exercise Specialist, a licensed US Soccer Coach and a USA Weightlifting Coach. He received his bachelor’s degree from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. Rocky has written three books on sports conditioning, has been featured in many publications and his fourth book, Return to Center is now available with all major booksellers Rocky has written three books on sports conditioning and has been featured in many publications, and his fourth book, Return to Center is now available with all major booksellers. In many ways, Rocky embodies the California stereotype. Well known in the community, Rocky is an avid surfer and fitness buff with a studio in the heart of the world renown Pleasure Point surf area. There early risers are greeted by the sweet smells of the ocean while they workout in one of Rocky’s many group training classes and hear the latest conditions when Rocky makes his call into KSCO and KPIG to broadcast the Surf and Ski report. It doesn’t take long for this image of Rocky to come crashing down. The Red Sox, Patriots, Bruins, and Celtic banners and license plates hanging on the walls betray his New England roots and belie his California image. Previous musings about what local high school Rocky graduated from are replaced by questions about how a hardcore New England boy morphed into California fitness-surfer dude. As with many aspects of Rocky, it’s a colorful story. https://rockysfitnesscenter.com/ --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/executiveathletes/support

You know, this is what they need to be doing, this is what they, “should” be doing, and they spend the majority of their lives trying to accomplish this and feeling like a failure when they cannot maintain it. So we are just giving people the freedom to eat again, the freedom to eat in a way that is right for them” (7:28) “Our society is so terrified of gaining weight that we would rather starve and starve and restrict and restrict ourselves and keep running, we’re like running from something we can’t escape. The more and more you try and lose weight, often the harder and harder it gets.” (14:42) “If you pay attention to how you react to things and are really intentional in how you are responding to that, then you are working with your body, right, and you can experiment with different things and take care of symptoms as they come up and all of a sudden you realize that the things you thought you always had to live with you actually maybe don’t. You can maybe play with them a little bit and you can help them. And you also don’t have to live in this like psychological warfare mentality you have against your body because it really can be more like you are just friends in a field of daisies or something.” (34:52) “You are not a bad person and you don't deserve to be punished and your world isn't going to end if you did something that you think puts you in caloric excess. You just have to keep focusing on what your goals are. And for us, goals mean physical and psychological health first and foremost.” (54:51)   Resources Mentioned In This Show Join the Fierce Love Collective For Ongoing Support, Community, and Kick-Ass Content   Well Fed Women Podcast Coconuts and Kettlebells Website Coconuts and Kettlebells The Book Paleo For Women Strong From Home Workout Programme Sexy by Nature Book Follow Noelle on Instagram Follow Stefani on Instagram   Check out the full show notes here!

Alumna 2001 Missy West, a former Duke University Women's Basketball Athlete explains why sports and extracurricular participation is SO important for our youth. She touches on the value of the High School experience and why it's critical we give our children a positive life learning experience. Missy shares her your thoughts on: 1. Her top three life lessons learned through sports 2. How and what to sacrifice to be your best 3. How we can be a better sports parent, coach, role model for our student-athletes Missy West was a three-sport star out of Franklin Academy High School in Malone in the mid-1990s, setting numerous records in basketball, softball and soccer. In basketball, she averaged 29 points per game and was named Miss Basketball in New York as a senior. She scored 2,605 points and helped her team to the New York State Public High School Athletic Association (NYSPHSAA) Section 10 title. In softball, she won 64 games and pitched 15 no-hitters and two perfect games and led her team to the New York state championship. She was selected Softball Player of the Year in New York and was chosen on the All-American team. She was a standout on the soccer field as well, scoring 63 goals and contributing 15 assists during her high school career. Missy played basketball at Duke University and was an integral member of the Blue Devils’ 1999 NCAA Women’s Division I Basketball Championship team. She played professional basketball in Germany for three years winning a German National Championship both as a player and as a youth coach.    She then began a 12-year stint of collegiate coaching at the Division III and II levels earning three conference coach of the year awards as well as the Eastern Region Coach of the year and was one of 8 nominees up for National Coach of the Year in 2013.  She was inducted most recently in July to the National High School Hall of Fame in Providence, RI and presented the acceptance speech on behalf of all 11 inductees.  She has also been inducted into the New York State Hall of Fame, The New York State Softball Hall of Fame, and the Franklin Academy Hall of Fame.   She currently resides in Tampa, Florida and is a trainer for the Positive Coaching Alliance, a motivational speaker and a NSCA personal trainer.   She spends much of her spare time on her personal fitness and has completed 2 full Ironman’s with goals to complete many more. She also enjoys the outdoors, spending time with friends and family and serving others with organizations such as Habitat for Humanity and The Boys and Girls Club. As far as my Motivational Speaking - I speak mainly to athletes, coaches, parents, and communities about the Benefits of Sports Participation.  I share a lot of my personal stories..How sports shaped me into a strong and confident woman, sports taught me how to communicate when I was scared to death to speak in a classroom, sports taught me how to fail and rise again - resilience. It taught me how to deal with a challenging coach/boss etc.   Sports goes far beyond the game itself…..   I also speak to a lot of school administrators about the life lessons we should be teaching our student athletes.  Why it’s crucial to have students involved in sports but also that not ever kid should get a trophy.  Through our sports participation we should be teaching life lessons….and teaching them how to lose is one of them.  Not creating opportunities where it’s easier for the student to “win.”

For Life on Purpose Episode #15, I'm joined by entrepreneur, motivational speaker, and coach Shelli Johnson from yourepiclife.com. Shelli dares her clients to go off-trail and uphill and to choose their way even if it's the hard way. She asks each of us this crucial question: "We all have an Epic Life; are we living it?" About: In short, people and organizations hire me to light a fire that is inside of them but that may be smoldering or not yet lit. I help you pull yourself up by the bootstraps. I help you get back on the horse. Actually I help you get on the horse in the first place, and the more unforgettable the ride, the better, since the ride is your life. Once in a while, you should have to hold onto your hat! Speaking of hats, I wear many. I'm an entrepreneur. The Webby Award-winning YellowstonePark.com was my first. An amazing team & I built it over 15 years before selling it to Active Interest Media, the owner of Backpacker, Yoga Journal, and other great magazines. I am a master at bootstrapping and leveraging limited resources. I love creating things and "route-finding" my way to discovery. In 2009, I started my professional reinvention, and started Epic Life Inc/YourEpicLife.com. I'm also a life & leadership coach (CPCC and ICF), a Certified Emotional Intelligence Consultant (EQ-i 2.0 & EQ 360), a NSCA Certified Personal Trainer, a motivational speaker, social media and personal branding consultant, writer, media producer, NOLS grad, certified Wilderness First Responder, and adventure guide.  Mostly, I'm a "champion-for-hire." Someone who wants to, or has to, climb a tall mountain – i.e. make, or endure, a big change in their life – will often enlist me as a coach to help them make the climb. People hire me when they’re thinking about (metaphorically) climbing the mountain, or when they are at the base of said mountain. Often I get “called in” when they’re already en route up the mountain but they hit a particularly difficult patch and they feel they can’t go it alone. They want to stay the course, but could use some help. Rather than giving up on the climb, they hire me as their coach and they lean in and finish the work. In other words, I’m not a helicopter that gets called in. You don't hire me to bail you out. Rather, you hire me to help you overcome the crux..

What insights does a former Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter, now poet, activist and thought leader, have to teach social entrepreneurs? As it turns out, a lot more than you might imagine. MMA fighters understand what failure is–not the “I failed… now let me put my badge on” rhetoric that has become an essential, but increasingly superficial, part of any budding entrepreneur’s story. MMA fighters understand failure, and the pain that accompanies it. They get knocked down. They get knocked out. And they have to truly examine the lessons of defeat in order to perfect their strategy for success. This warrior mindset forces growth, adaptation and new creative expression. MMA fighters also know the wisdom of when to “tap out” and the necessity of dramatic pivots in some cases to achieve new areas of personal and professional development. Cameron Conaway’s journey offers fascinating lessons that show how unusual story arcs provide insightful truths for social entrepreneurs everywhere. Edward D. (Ned) Breslin is CEO of Water For People, widely considered a force for positive change by challenging status quo approaches to water and sanitation, philanthropy and aid transparency and offering concrete alternatives, and received the Skoll Award for Social Entrepreneurship in 2011. Cameron Conaway, Executive Editor at The Good Men Project, is an NSCA-Certified Personal Trainer, a former MMA fighter and an award-winning poet. His international investigations into poverty, child labor and human trafficking can be found in publications such as The Guardian, The Huffington Post and the Women News Network. Conaway is a recipient of the Wellcome Trust Arts Award and currently teaches the capstone Shakespeare Seminar for Ottawa University. https://ssir.org/podcasts/entry/cameron_conaway_knowing_when_to_tap_out_of_the_fight
