According to the Aspen Institute, the youth sports industry here in the United States is a forty billion dollar a year business. About sixty million kids are playing youth sports, with the average family spending just over a thousand dollars a year on a child's primary sport, which is a forty six percent increase since twenty-nineteen. Sadly many parents are pushing their kids to achieve in sports as a way of addressing their own unfulfilled dreams, and to live vicariously through their kids. Twenty percent of sports parents believe their child could play a Division One sport, and ten percent hold on to the unrealistic dream that their child could go professional. But the reality is quite different. For example, only one in six hundred and ten high school baseball players will get drafted by a major league team, and one in ten-thousand- three-hundred and ninety-nine high school basketball players will go pro. Parents, have you made sports an idol, prioritizing your child's success over their spiritual growth?

Send us Fan Mail Great podcast with legendary Bruins play by play caller and former host at WEEI for 30 years Dale Arnold. Dale also called games for the Patriots from 1988-1990.

Almost everything the average sports fan believes about doping is wrong. The “dirty cheaters stealing medals from clean athletes” story almost never describes what actually happened. Instead, we’ve had dirty sports, Cold War dynamics, and athletes faced with the “if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em” devil’s bargain. In this show you’ll learn why doping has been cleaned up significantly from past eras, where the problem remains, and why professional cycling is perhaps the most glaring example. You’ll also learn surprising insights about the physiology of doping: Steroids don’t actually magically make you bigger, stronger, or faster. Training does. Doping alters your body chemistry so you can recover faster and train harder. Doping can’t transform an ordinary person into an Olympian, which is why doping up a bunch of retreads and has-beens at the Enhanced Games resulted in pedestrian times in comparison to the world’s elite. We’ll cover EPO, the Goldman Dilemma, the Eastern Bloc origins of Olympic doping, and crazy scandals from Lance Armstrong and BALCO to the heartbreaking case of Shelby Houlihan’s controversial four-year suspension. We close with a discussion about the morality and philosophy of what it means to age gracefully - questions I’ve been asking myself as I strive to be the best 60+ athlete I can be. Is this more honorable than trying to dope myself into a fake 30-year-old? Or should we consider taking advantage of modern pharmaceutical advantages to be the best we can be? If so, do we push the envelope of, “has self-optimization become permission for unbridled narcissism?” Get ready for a heavy show that will leave you never thinking the same way about doping in big time sports again, and also reflecting on the implications of anti-aging and biohacking therapies differently than you may have before! TIMESTAMPS: For decades, doping in Olympic and professional sports has been a huge concern, controversy, headline stories, and it has been hugely misunderstood on many levels by the average sports fan. [02:42] Myth number one is that doping is commonplace in Olympic and professional sports. [04:57] One of the reasons these suspicions persist is marketing hype and propaganda. [11:38] Why do these suspicions about doping persist? [15:38] Back in the 70s and 80s the western athletes were losing to doped up competitors. What did they tend to do? [20:48] From that point there was much testing and continuing use of steroids, then sport got boring until baseball got into players hitting the ball out of the park. [27:28] The BALCO scandal in the early 2000s was when some undetectable steroids that were not on the banned list were invented. [30:06] In the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, there was an incident where two of the favored athletes did not appear for their tests right before the opening ceremonies. [35:21] Today we have more sophisticated testing and are even able to freeze some samples to test later when more advanced testing becomes available. [39:21] A big game changer that came in the 90s was the discovery of EPO, a natural substance secreted by bone marrow and stimulates the production of red blood cells. [41:28] There are several countries involved in state-sponsored programs as well as small impoverished nations that are poorly regulated. [46:14] In baseball and other sports, they have penalties that aren't very severe. [56:12] There is another category of athletes that are perhaps ,toward the end of their careers, who might want to go out with a bang and have little to lose. [01:00:56] There are many young athletes who develop their skills and break records, but are not necessarily suspected of doping. [01:04:55] There are many instances where athletes have been tested for substances that don't necessarily enhance performance, but do cause the athlete a problem. There is metabolite, nandrolone that appears in some tainted meat. [01:11:05] One of the myths that pervades around the performance enhancing drugs is that they are dangerous and bad for your body. Brad describes his drug free endurance career. [01:19:23] The destruction caused by the extreme training was, Brad would argue, much worse than doing the exact same thing with all the doping protocols available to you. [01:23:44] The myth that taking steroids is going to make you a super athlete, is not technically how it works. It's more about talent. [01:24:47] Lance Armstrong was extremely fit and genetically gifted, and trained hard, but as he emerged into this dirty sport, he pretty much had to join them. [01:29:08] Brad talks about the history of the manufacture of these performance enhancing drugs. [01:35:00] We should have the moral obligation to try to do the best we can to live the best healthy and energetic life. [01:39:25] Visceral fat accumulating around the abdomen is a sign of metabolic disease. [01:41:30] The fears and warnings you've heard are not necessarily holding up.

Philip Hover-Smoot is the Founder and CEO of Atlas Cup, a professional sports media company building the world's first orbital racing league. Before launching Atlas Cup in late 2025, he served as the CEO of Scout Space and previously held senior executive roles at Spaceflight and Momentus. A seasoned aerospace and defense executive and California-licensed attorney, Philip has worked across military and commercial space, space law and regulation, satellite technology, and executive leadership. He is also a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society and now focuses on developing a global sports property at the intersection of space, technology, and entertainment.           In this episode… Commercial space is entering a phase where entertainment, media, and competition can become viable applications alongside government and industrial missions. As spacecraft capabilities mature and sports consumption shifts toward social, mobile, and streaming platforms, orbital racing could turn advanced satellite performance into a fan-facing spectacle. How can a professional racing league in low Earth orbit become both compelling entertainment and a catalyst for space innovation? According to Philip Hover-Smoot, who leads Atlas Cup as its founder and CEO, the opportunity comes from combining technologies that already exist with a proven racing format and a media model designed for how audiences consume sports today. Instead of building its own spacecraft, Atlas Cup plans to bring together existing maneuverable satellites, imagery providers, telemetry systems, and race teams while creating short-form storytelling around their performance. Competition can reward speed, maneuver accuracy, efficiency, communication, and other measurable capabilities, creating incentives for technology development while opening opportunities for sponsorships, prediction markets, and fan engagement. In this episode of the Top Business Leaders Show, Chad Franzen welcomes Philip Hover-Smoot, Founder and CEO Atlas Cup, for a conversation about building professional sports in space. Philip explains Atlas Cup's 2028 orbital racing plans, short-form media strategy, regulatory model, technology incentives, and the evolution from uncrewed satellite races toward his long-term vision of humans competing in space.

Episode 235: In this episode of Accelerate Podcast, host Nicola Graham is joined by Susie Reiner, founder of TheoryEx, a research and consulting practice sitting at the intersection of human performance, technology and validation. Susie has spent over a decade moving between the worlds of academic research, elite sport, and commercial health tech, working with companies to translate scientific evidence into commercial decisions. Alongside her industry work she is an assistant professor of exercise science at Seton Hall University, and one of the lead authors behind the Sports Tech Research Network's white paper on the current state of sports tech innovation. That combination — sitting between the lab, the field, and the boardroom — has given her an unusually clear read on a term the industry uses constantly and defines rarely. At the centre of the conversation is what 'evidence-based' actually means. The phrase has become a marketing asset, but the standard behind it shifts dramatically depending on who is making the claim, what was measured, and against what. Susie unpacks the difference between a study that exists and a study that answers the question a practitioner is actually asking. ㅤ From there the discussion turns to why validation is so often bolted on rather than built in — treated as a box to tick once a product is already in market, rather than a process that shapes what gets built in the first place — and what that costs both companies and the practitioners buying from them. ㅤ The episode closes on the harder structural question: what it would take to close the gap between what the science genuinely supports and what the market is willing to pay for, and why that gap persists even when the appetite for rigour is there. ㅤ Topics Discussed: What 'Evidence-Based' Actually Means Why Validation Is Bolted On Rather Than Built In The Gap Between Scientific Rigour and Commercial Appetite The Current State of Sports Tech Innovation - Where you can find Susie: LinkedIn Instagram TheoryEx - Sponsors Gameplan Is a Rehab Management System providing Medical & Performance Departments with a centralised platform to plan, track & manage the return-to-play process inside a data rich environment.

Send us Fan MailRon O'Hare has spent more than 25 years working at the intersection of sport physiotherapy, leadership, and high performance. Today, he serves as Senior Manager of Health Performance at the Canadian Sport Institute Ontario, leading integrated health services supporting Olympic, Paralympic, and high-performance athletes and coaches.But this conversation is about much more than Ron's professional résumé.We go back to his childhood, growing up “on the other side of the tracks,” and explore how sport became a place of structure, safety, identity, and belonging. Ron shares his journey from dreaming of becoming a professional baseball player to finding volleyball, eventually playing five years at Queen's University before discovering his path into physiotherapy.From there, our conversation moves through more than two decades of clinical practice, building and running his own clinic, raising four children, working within Canadian high-performance sport, and eventually stepping into health-performance leadership.Ron speaks openly about compassion, caregiving, persistence, leadership, family, professional sacrifice, and the fatigue that can come from spending a career deeply invested in helping others. We also discuss how difficult experiences, including a tragic event involving an athlete during a training camp in St. Kitts, changed his perspective on leadership, responsibility, and what really matters.At its heart, this is a conversation about the person behind the practitioner. About how our experiences shape the way we care for people, how our priorities change over a lifetime, and why meaningful careers are rarely built according to a perfectly constructed plan.Another thoughtful conversation with an experienced practitioner, leader, father, coach, and genuinely reflective human being.Enjoy.If you liked this EP, please take the time to rate and comment, share with a friend, and connect with us on social channels IG @Kingopain, TW @BuiltbyScott, LI+FB Scott Livingston. You can find all things LYM at www.LYMLab.com, download your free Life Lab Starter Kit today and get busy living https://lymlab.com/free-lym-lab-starter/Please take the time to visit and connect with our sponsors, they are an essential part of our success:www.ReconditioningHQ.comwww.FreePainGuide.com 

Episode 234: In this episode of Sports Science Insights Podcast, host Steve Barrett is joined by Niklas Virtanen, who leads the sport science efforts at FC Midtjylland. With over eight years of experience in elite sport and high-performance consulting, and backed by UEFA fitness coaching and physiotherapy credentials, Niklas has built his work around a data-driven approach to optimising player performance and development. Much of the conversation starts from a premise that is easy to say and harder to sit with: GPS has been mastered. Total distance, high-speed running, sprint counts — the metrics that once felt like the frontier are now table stakes, tracked by almost every club at almost every level. The interesting question is no longer whether you can collect them, but what you do once collecting them stops being a competitive advantage. ㅤ From there the discussion turns to what sits underneath the movement data. Niklas makes the case for IMA and IMU signals as a way of understanding how a player is performing an action, not just what action they performed — the accelerations, decelerations, changes of direction and mechanical signatures that separate two players covering identical distances in completely different ways. It's a shift from describing workload to interpreting quality, and it changes what sport science can offer a coach. ㅤ The episode also explores where that leaves practitioners: the discipline required to stop adding metrics, the value of asking better questions of the data already being captured, and what genuine progress looks like once the obvious layer has been solved. ㅤ Topics Discussed: GPS Is Mastered — So What Should We Be Doing Now? Using IMA/IMU Data to Understand How a Player Is Performing, Not Just What They're Doing Moving from Workload Description to Movement Quality What Progress Looks Like Beyond the Obvious Metrics Where you can find Niklas: LinkedIn Instagram — Sponsors Axon: Performance teams spend the morning after game day stitching together six systems before the coach gets an answer.

Professional sports women still have to juggle several income streams to make ends meet. This is contained in a report by the Commission for Gender Equality on equality in sport, using South Africa's national woman's soccer team, Banyana Banyana, as a case study. The commission presented the report to Parliament's Sports, Arts and Culture committee. Zalene Merrington reports...

Doesn't it feel like the last netballer out can turn out the lights? By my count, 13 of our best are off. Eight to Australia, four to the UK, and it could be 16 by the time it's all over. Like Super Rugby, hockey, and cricket, netball is not, it seems, commercially viable in a national organisation type of way. TV rights are an issue, and they are an issue because the inescapable truth is a lot of us aren't that gripped by the sports anymore. The world is full of entertainment and the more accessible it is the more we drift off to new interests. I read a worthy piece by a bloke called Dr Chris McMillan, who bemoaned private money coming to potentially save these sports. He argued private money is not good because it put owners before players and, most of all, before the wider community. The trouble with academics of course is they don't live in the real world. What does he want? Netball run as a national organisation going broke (they are millions in the hole), or a millionaire with good intentions saving the sport? You should read his piece. He tells you everything that's wrong and tells you these are tricky issues but offers no solutions. The solutions are simple and they are global. Virtually all great, popular, and successful sports are run with private money. My sport, the NFL, is almost entirely, bar one of the 32 teams, owned by rich folks who are normally old white guys. The sport is booming and the players are wealthy beyond most expectations. Sport is actually a simple formula: you need eyeballs, TV rights, and a competition that attracts attention. The NRL is your best local example: a record TV deal, massive fan base, plenty of hype, and an expansion plan. Sport isn't the problem. I increasingly think not even the running of the sport is a problem. In NZ the problem is population. If Super Rugby can't make money, nothing locally can. We are too small and the fan is too international. But if there's a model that can help locally it's the people with a cheque book. Sport is business. Arguing it's community-based goodwill is like arguing AI isn't taking your job. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Episode 230: In this episode of the Inform Performance Podcast, Andy McDonald is joined by Keith D'Amelio, PhD a performance architect with more than two decades inside the highest levels of elite sport and business. Keith has led performance for the Boston Celtics and the Toronto Raptors, guided innovation at Nike's global HQ, and advised startups, athletes, and leadership teams on how to build sustainable systems that enable performance at the highest level. He founded Heretic Performance to challenge conventional thinking and to help teams and companies execute consistently and with purpose. Throughout the episode, Keith explores why sporting organisations so often default to risk aversion, and what it actually takes to build decision-making processes that hold up under pressure. The conversation examines the holistic cost of implementing new systems — the time, staffing, and cultural load that rarely appear on the invoice — and where the line sits between genuine innovation and practicality in an applied environment. The discussion also looks at what sport can learn from other high-stakes industries, why so much low-hanging fruit in performance still goes unpicked, and how practitioners can focus their energy on the things that move the needle rather than the things that look impressive.

Episode 228: Ben Ashworth chats to Gus Morrison, BSc, MSc, ASCC. Gus earned his Bachelor's degree in physiotherapy from the University of Southampton in 2013, followed by a Master's degree in Sports Medicine at University College London. During this period, he sought mentorship from Ben, focusing on refining his expertise in data-driven shoulder assessments and rehabilitation. Together they published his Master's dissertation in the Journal of Physical Therapy in Sport, exploring the Athletic Shoulder Test's application in amateur rugby players. Alongside this, Gus achieved full accreditation as a Strength and Conditioning Coach through the UKSCA. He went on to establish the Shoulder Assessment Unit at the Institute of Sport, Exercise and Health, delivering a data-driven assessment service for athletes recovering from shoulder injuries. Recognised for his expertise, he has spoken at webinars and conferences, and recently co-authored a publication with Ben in the Strength and Conditioning Journal on the synergy between testing and training for shoulder injuries.

Episode 228: In this episode of Inform Performance, host Steve Barrett is joined by Dan Ramsden — Head of Performance for Super League's Hull KR, promoted into the role after eight years as the club's Head Physiotherapist. Dan now leads the club's strength, conditioning, and rehabilitation programmes, bringing together medical and performance functions under one department. Alongside a physiotherapy degree and a PhD focused on concussion, he holds a 5th Dan Black Belt in Aikido, and specialises in injury prevention and building athletic resilience in a collision sport. At the centre of the conversation is Dan's transition from clinician to department lead. He discusses what changes when your remit shifts from treating individual athletes to setting the direction of an entire performance team, the skills that transfer from physiotherapy, and the ones that have to be learned on the job. The discussion also explores the culture required to build and sustain a high-performing staff — how roles are defined, how disciplines are integrated rather than siloed, and how Dan develops the practitioners around him. Dan then unpacks player availability and its relationship with training and match intensity, before moving into his research area: concussion, neck strength, and the role of rate of force development (RFD) as a measure that goes beyond maximal strength testing. — Topics Discussed: Progression from Physio to a Head of Performance role Culture and development of a high performance team Player availability and its link to intensity Concussion and the use of rate of force development (RFD) within neck strength Where you can find Dan: LinkedIn Instagram — Sponsors Axon: Performance teams spend the morning after game day stitching together six systems before the coach gets an answer.

Episode 220: In this episode of Accelerate Podcast, host Nicola Graham is joined by Allan MacDonald — a decision-making specialist who has spent 15 years in elite sport before transitioning into government, and who holds a professional doctorate in judgmental forecasting and decision-making. Allan's career has taken him across high-performance sport, public sector strategy, and academic research — giving him a rare cross-domain perspective on how decisions actually get made under pressure. His doctoral work focuses on the science of forecasting and human judgement, exploring why even experienced professionals fall short when it matters most. ㅤ At the centre of the conversation is a question every high-performance environment faces: how do we make better decisions — not just with better data, but with better thinking? Allan unpacks the gap between having information and knowing how to weigh it, and why expertise alone is no defence against the biases that quietly shape our choices. ㅤ The discussion also explores how the principles of judgmental forecasting and calibrated confidence translate beyond sport — into business, strategy, and any environment where decisions are made in the face of uncertainty. ㅤ Topics Discussed: Decision Making in High-Performance Environments Confidence and Calibration Team Set-Ups and How They Shape Judgement Forecasting and Handling Uncertainty The Crossover to Business and Strategy -  Where you can find Allan: LinkedIn Website X -  Sponsors Gameplan is a rehab Project Management & Data Analytics Platform that improves operational & communication efficiency during rehab.
