Frank holds black belt rankings in karate and aikido and has traveled to Africa on several occasions to study human origins and the ancestral environment.  The Enemy is Never Wrong: Martial Art, Activism, and the Fight for a Functional Future A sense of martial artistry is essential to our survival. Gripped by confusion, fear and outrage, we feel the need to act, but we don't even know the fundamentals: what to fight, who to fight, when to fight, how to fight, or why to fight. Awkward and impulsive, we're ineffective and a threat to ourselves and others. This is a book about radical realism and adaptability. It's about understanding the world, thinking clearly, navigating complexity, and exercising skill in the face of escalating stress and ambiguity. Website | Amazon | Twitter | Facebook

If you are reading this, it's likely because you share a common thread with many athletes, which is the desire to improve your athletic and personal potential. Dedicating yourself to learning and applying best practices and methods for achieving enduring health and high performance seems straightforward enough. Unfortunately, the challenge many people face is being able to filter through the blizzard of information and advice from performance experts and coaches. With health gurus, high-performance nutritionists, endurance coaches, life coaches, and an ever-growing list of specialists in related fields, all with seemingly sound theories and approaches, how do you know who to listen to? How do you differentiate a gimmick from good advice? It can be confusing and frustrating to cut through all the contradictions and rival theories, but with a solid guiding principle in your approach to education, you can use the wealth of knowledge to your benefit and determine which advice should be taken to heart and which should be taken with a grain of salt. Today Matt will highlight: The challenge of taking well-intentioned advice from performance experts and coaches. (31:02) “You can be learning and be inspired from a host of experts in fields, but at the same time, from those very same experts, you can fall into traps of quick fixes, instant gratifications, and ultimately culdesacs of performance failure.” The key voices and their differences, and how to build your personal filter for this type of education. (19:58) “I think one of the first steps to this is understanding who you are listening to, and what challenge they are trying to solve. And then the key component is take that information, filter it and apply it to your own goals, your own situation, and ultimately yourself.” Creating a framework for approaching advice across health and performance and how to plot the best path for your performance journey. (31:35) “I would encourage you to think in terms of long term, not interventions. That's just a globally smart way to approach performance.” (32:49) “Nothing of long-term value is going to come from some radical short-term intervention.” The goal of today's conversation is to provide you with clarity on how to approach advice and education and how to apply it within the context of your body, your journey, and your situation.

As a result, there's not a lot that Joe hasn't seen or done. He's here to talk about the changes he's seen in strength and conditioning coaching over the past 3 decades, and where he thinks things are going. This includes how Joe started his college career as an Olympic sports strength coach before moving into football and subsequently the NFL. He explains what's changed since then, as well a few things that have always remained the same. This includes the rise of specialised nutrition and mental health coaches, and advances in technology and sports science. There's some insight too into how the 'hustle' has changed for new coaches getting into the industry. Joe also talks about his own programming style, and what he considers to be the basics of strength and conditioning coaching. He gives his opinion on the boom in speed training, and whether it's come to detract from a more traditional coaching style. There's also discussion into where loaded jumps fit into Joe's programme, and how he prioritises certain exercises for individuals. For these insights and much more from someone who has personally coached in 10 sports throughout his career - and developed a programming model used in over 20 - hit the play button now. This week's topics: How Joe started out as a coach and what's changed since then The rise of coach wellbeing Changes in technology and sports science How the ‘hustle' has changed for coaches just starting out What ‘the basics' are to Joe and how to do them well Joe's opinion on whether speed training is detracting from traditional coaching Where loaded jumps fit into Joe's programme Prioritising certain exercises for individuals The importance of programming in variation

Today on the podcast get ready for an in depth interview with not just one, but three high-level fitness industry professionals from EXOS, a leader in the field of human performance employing more than 3,500 people in over 400 locations worldwide. We're exploring how new technologies are force multiplying the reach and efficacy of fitness professionals to deliver an intimate and powerful experience for both clients and athletes across the world.  This interview is going to inspire you and be quite thought-provoking as we challenge the conventional wisdom in the fitness industry for one of the most powerful conversations we trust this industry must go with the use of technology to finally scale a trainer and a team's services to a level of sustainability through what team EXOS calls "force multiplied fitness training." As you know if you been listening to the show for a while or if you spent years in our space, the hour-for-hour trainer model is undergoing the largest disruption in over 50 years. In our opinion, it's right on time because there are too many of our fitness professionals leaving the space with an incredible amount of service and passion left inside them. The technology we're discussing today has the power to shift the service models upside down and radically transform how our industry will grow. You'll learn what force multiplication means to fitness, how technology can multiply a fitness professional's and club's service to clients, how to harness mobile technology and cloud-based services, and why the future of sustainable excellence in our industry lies within the data sets that we're talking about in depth today on the show Just how much time do we have until the "dream dashboard" comes to fruition, including all the biomarkers, steps, activity, machine learning and artificial-intelligence-coaching combined with the irreplaceable human connection from a professional breaks ground in our space?  The answer to that question and much more takeaways for club owners, operators, and fitness pros in this episode with Marty Weems, Stefan Underwood, and Tristan Pierce on this episode of the fitness + technology podcast. About Marty Weems  Marty joined the EXOS team (formerly Athletes’ Performance) in 2006 as its first Vice President of Sales.

Medical Fitness Centers: How will technology and trainers close the gap between gyms and hospitals? Top 3 Takeaways From The Show Team EXOS reminds us that embracing technology is just the beginning to mass adoption and transformation. For a success, a tech-minded fitness professional must execute on "simple things done savagely well" and not allow themselves to get lost in all the noise and programs out there. Marty Weems reminds us that no matter what tech you use, you must do the things that get the job done each day by executing forward. The danger of technology disconnecting us on a personal level is real, but only if we choose to not be mindful and have high integrity behind the usage of fitness technology tools. Team EXOS believes that when there's an opportunity for human interaction in the club, it needs to happen as part of a great relationship with old-school tools like enthusiasm and customer service combined with some of the most powerful technology we've ever seen. To truly force multiply fitness training it takes an open mind and a clear vision about what is possible when we combine humanity and technology. With the work of team EXOS in an industry with a high value on transforming people's lives through fitness and health, there is no doubt that we are on the path to the most incredible digital transformation of our lives. Power Quotes From Team EXOS  "With fitness technology, I still firmly believe in people and the connections between them. One of the elements within our human performance philosophy that we've authored is really about member segmentation. As we start looking at different generations, the first actionable step is to have a very honest appraisal of who your primary demographic is that you're trying to market to by understanding your member segmentations including active aging, youth athletes, and others to identify where they fall is the first part in deciding anything else."  - Stefan Underwood on the Fitness + Technology Podcast "We all know to drive sustainable and impactful change for folks you have to address upstream behaviors. If you do that, then downstream things will start to shift in the right direction. So how can you leverage technology to better understand who a person is across a lot of different critical behaviors that are important to human performance? For fitness professionals, if you can deliver a digital assessment to really understand who someone is and what their habits are, this will empower you as a coach like never before to be able to deliver high value." - Tristan Pierce on the Fitness + Technology Podcast= "In terms of what to do, first, embrace technology and find the tool or few tools that can work for you and then execute on those. So often it comes down to simple things done savagely well and not getting lost in 500 different evaluation and programming tools. With fitness technology, pick your angle, approach, and methodology and do the things that get the job done each day by executing forward."  -  Marty Weems on the Fitness + Technology Podcast Resources Mentioned In This Podcast  IHRSA Fitness Technology Predictions EXOS on the web EXOS on Facebook EXOS on Twitter Bryan O'Rourke - IHRSA Technology Team EXOS HQ - Phoenix, Arizona EXOS Technology Human Performance Technology EXOS Clinical Performance EXOS Team Segments JOURNEY Platform Gretchen Rubin: Social Contagion  Wearable Tech Market To Be Worth $34 Billion By 2020 Bobby Cappuccio: Fitness + Technology Podcast Episode 027 Thanks To Our Outstanding Sponsors Bryan O’Rourke and his family of companies including Vedere Ventures, Integerus Advisors, and many more.
