Today's "Too Sense" segment is about Dennis Schroder and the mistake he made by not taking 4 years and $84 Million from the Lakers before hitting Free Agency:- Sometimes you get bad advice or have a lack of self awareness to know your worth... Dennis Schroder, former point guard for the Lakers, turned down a huge extension during the season last year. He wanted to bet on himself and hit the market this offseason. Well, it turned out that no one was lining up for him to sign the $120 million contract that he thought he was worth... Dennis recently signed for a measly 1 year deal, worth $5.9 Million. These things happen I guess. I discuss this and also the deserving Max Extensions for Luka Doncic and Trae Young.- Lots of new video content @tootallsportspodcast on Instagram. New videos every day!Today's Interview: Seth EthertonSeth and I have a lot in common. We both went to the same high school in Orange County. We are both pitchers and both played professionally. But that's where the comparisons stop haha! Seth went on to become the, then, Pac-10 Pitcher of the Year in 1998 at USC, help them win the College World Series, and become a 1st Round Draft Pick all in the same summer!Seth played for the Angels in the big leagues right before the won the World Series in 2002. We discuss the business of baseball as he was traded in 2001 to the Cincinnati Reds. He battled through injuries and bounced around after that before becoming the pitcher coach at the University of San Francisco for a few years.He is now the pitching coach in Triple-A for the Louisville Bats, the affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds. We discuss it all, including how he and his pitching staff handles the crack down of "sticky stuff" from Major League Baseball...That and much more on the Too Tall Sports Podcast today.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a sponsor!!!Want the best sports betting picks texted directly to your phone every day?I have the answer and it's Vegas Sports Advantage.A proud sponsor of the Too Tall Sports PodcastLink Here:https://www.vegassportsadvantage.com?ref=tootall25% OFF Your favorite Sports Picks Package by using the link above or using thePROMO CODE: TOOTALL--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Follow Me and SUBSCRIBE, LIKE and COMMENT on  the Too Tall Sports Podcast:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOT1dawh_079qckq7OmFHAQInstagram: @tootallsportspodcastTwitter: @TooTallSportsFacebook Group: TooTallSportsPodcastApple Podcasts: Too Tall Sports PodcastSpotify: Too Tall Sports Podcasthttps://www.diamantenetwork.com/network/brettlorinPandora: https://www.pandora.com/podcast/too-tall-sports-podcast/PC:52128https://www.vegassportsadvantage.com?ref=tootallEmail: tootallsportspodcast@gmail.comhttps://linktr.ee/TooTallSportsPodcast25% OFF with Promo Code: TOOTALL This podcast is brought to you by Vegas Sports Advantage.

In today's episode, we're joined by Taylor Rapp, BPN athlete and free safety for the Los Angeles Rams. In this episode, we'll hear about his journey from high school to college where he played for Washington, then getting drafted to play for the NFL. We'll hear his views and ideas on nutrition, his on and off-season training and the mindset and hard work which has led to his success.  Taylor discovered his love of sports while playing baseball as an adolescent, but the slowness of the games led to his burnout of the sport. He then pivoted to football, and ever since has dedicated everything to achieve his goal of playing professionally. He had scholarship offers from many huge universities, but ultimately decided to stay in his home state and accepted the offer to play at the University of Washington. Taylor believes he wasn't born gifted or ultra talented, but that his work ethic and determination is what ultimately propelled him in life. In high school, he gave up a social life and anything else that may deter him from reaching his goals. This mindset of always working towards the next big step followed him into college and remains with him today. Taylor described his frustration over not being selected on the first day of the draft. However, he believes this adversity only made him stronger in the end and he is grateful for the way things played out. After being drafted, players are thrown into their new team right away and the dynamic between newcomers and veterans can be touchy. Because of the corporate and cutthroat nature, Taylor wouldn't say playing for the NFL was what he expected in his early aspirational days. The love and enjoyment of the game often gets stripped away from players. As a professional athlete, nutrition plays a huge role in Taylor's life. After entering college, he became more nutrition-conscious as a way to separate himself from other players and propel him closer to his goals. Now, he is even more knowledgeable and conscious of the relationship between nutrition and performance. He recalls the reflection he had with himself which led him to take himself to a whole new level. Since, he has increased his carb intake to a more efficient amount, which has enabled him to endure his workouts better and think more clearly. He also speaks of the importance of sodium and electrolytes in retaining hydration. Next, Taylor gives a look into his different recovery methods. Everyone is different in what kind of recovery works best for them, and he shares his favorite methods. He also shares his favorite sources of carbohydrates as well as his favorite fruits and vegetables with emphasis on plant diversity.  As the episode draws to a close, we get a look into how training differs on vs. off-season, with off season being the most intense. About 2 weeks out from training camp is when they usually hit their maximum volume, then decrease leading up to the camp. The method is down to a precise science to preserve the athlete's health and endurance levels.

An upbringing that bred aggression led Shawn to football after basketball wound up being too tame. (Foul out much?) “My coaches asked me, “Hey, what position do you want to play?” I said, “Coach, it doesn't matter. I just want to hit somebody.” And they smiled from ear to ear.” “I believe that talent stuff can get you to the top, but the hard work is what keeps you there.” -Shawne “Lights Out” Merriman HawkeTalk co-host Erik Huberman chats with Shawne about… What gets a kid from Prince George's County to the NFL as a first-round draft pick Rookie of the year, a couple of pro bowls, and a stellar NFL career How he earned the nickname “Lights Out” For more interviews like this one, subscribe to HawkeTalk on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts!
