Podcasts about sacramento kings nba

On this week's episode presented by Busey Bank, I'm joined by my wonderful wife and best friend, Melissa Allen. Over the course of a 30+ year career, she has worn many hats—literally and figuratively. She's been a Ringling Bros. circus performer, a touring Broadway chorus girl, a Las Vegas showgirl, a Sacramento Kings NBA cheerleader, a burlesque dancer, an aerial artist, a Pilates instructor, a dance teacher, and, perhaps her most demanding role, a baker's wife and a mother of five. While her career may seem like a dazzling whirlwind of sequins and spotlights, beneath it lies a masterclass in resilience, adaptability, and entrepreneurial spirit. As the seller, producer, and product all rolled into one, she has navigated the complexities of constantly marketing herself, balancing opportunity with opportunity cost, and building a fulfilling career while managing limited resources. In many ways, she embodies the ultimate entrepreneur—creative, resourceful, and always thinking about the next move. In this conversation, we'll dive deep into her fascinating journey, the lessons she's learned about personal branding, the business side of performing arts, and what her story can teach all of us about managing risk, seizing opportunity, and thriving in unpredictable environments. So, whether you're leading a company, growing a side hustle, or just looking for inspiration, this episode has something for you. Let's roll… #wife #vegas #showgirl #dancer #mom #friend #circus #badass

Derick Interviews Kyle Guy of the Sacramento Kings (NBA) to learn more about how he made it to the place he's at now. We all get to see the high points in a person's life, but very few get to see the low points that made reaching the top of the mountain possible.Kyle had to struggle with bouts of depression, anxiety, and making history in all the wrong ways. His story illustrates how that the path to success is rarely a straight line, but the curves of life are where the strength is gained.  From being eliminated from the NCAA tournament as a #1 seed by a #16 seed, to the following year winning a NCAA Championship and being named Most Outstanding Player, Kyle shows us that the treasure lies in the journey.

Injuries can be huge setbacks for competitive athletes. Everyone has a certain window of time in which they can play their best. Time out of competition is time lost that can’t be recovered. For some, they can end a career. The question dovetails well with episode 46’s discussion of workload management, but obviously that’s not the whole story. Dr. Ramsey Nijem gives us insight from his doctoral thesis, as well as his work with professional athletes. There are some great takeaways for coaches, athletes…and even powerlifters. Here are some of our thoughts: What lifestyle factors outside of training might lead to injury? Does drinking or drug use make injuries more likely? How are outcomes and training effects different? Does it help get stronger period, or does it matter how strength is incorporated? How much is controllable? We kick off the conversation by wondering if 25 should just be the legal age for everything? Dr. Nijem earned his Doctorate of Science in Human and Sport Performance as well as Health Promotion and Wellness in 2018. He has published research in top scientific journals in strength and conditioning and is currently investigating injury risk in NBA athletes. He earned his B.S. from UC Santa Barbara and M.S. from Cal State *Fullerton’s Center for Sport Performance (where he studied with Dr. Andy Galpin). After several years as head Performance and Strength Coach for the Sacramento Kings NBA franchise, he recently became the Men’s Basketball Director of Sport Performance for the University of Kansas (KU Jayhawks), one of the top Division 1 college basketball programs.

How do you balance the strength and conditioning work of an athlete with the practice, and actual performance, of their sport? Dr. Ramsey Nijem gives us insight from his doctoral thesis, as well as his work with professional athletes. There are some great takeaways for coaches, athletes…and even powerlifters. Here are some of our thoughts: How is exertion in a game setting quantified? How much is based on personal observation versus some automated system? What role does sleep play? How much do food, and alcohol, choices affect everything? Does travel screw things up as much as you’d think? Are there emotional factors that seriously impact performance? How can a coach help an athlete improve their recovery? Dr. Nijem earned his Doctorate of Science in Human and Sport Performance as well as Health Promotion and Wellness in 2018.

If you’re strength and conditioning coach, you probably want to work with athletes. If you can, you probably want to work with professional athletes. How do those opportunities come about? And will striving to get there make you an all-around better coach? We asked Dr Ramsey Nijem, who a few year ago became probably the youngest every head strength coach in the NBA, to break it down for us. Here are some of our thoughts: What are the degree requirements? Which certifications are really necessary? How do you learn to handle professional athletes? How much is programing and how much is psychology? What do you have to do to prove yourself to management? Is there a clear career path?

Weekly analysis of the Sacramento Kings NBA basketball team.

“We’re all emigrants, and if you embrace that emigrant edge, you can have a ‘rags to riches’ story in whatever area of your life you wish to focus on.” — Brian Buffini According to Forbes Magazine, forty percent of the largest companies in the U.S. were founded by immigrants or their children, including Google, Technichron and even our own Buffini & Company. Brian Buffini has studied the “rags to riches” stories of other emigrants and found there are seven traits among people who have arrived in America with nothing and went on to achieve success. In this episode, Brian outlines each of the seven traits that all successful emigrants share and offers examples of business leaders who embody the characteristic. You’ll learn about the natural advantages and disadvantages of being an emigrant, why they view opportunity differently than others, and how to incorporate the seven traits into your life and business. This is an episode you’ll want to listen to again and again.   Inspirational quotes from today’s interview: “For 150 years, Ireland’s greatest export has been its people.” — Brian Buffini “If you want to change your life, you have to move from one place to another. In order to grow at all, you have to make a decision as if you’re leaving one place to go to another.” — Brian Buffini “As soon as you start to pursue a dream, everything wakes up and everything has meaning.” — Barbara Sher in I Could Do Anything If I Only Knew What It Was: How to Discover What You Really Want and How to Get It “There’s a divine beauty in learning. Others have been here before me and I walk in their footsteps.” — Elie Wiesel “When you’re an emigrant, everything is an opportunity, and you see opportunity everywhere.” — Brian Buffini “Eat the meat and then go after the marrow and the bones.” — Brian Buffini. “A man, as a general rule, owes very little to what he is born with—a man is what he makes of himself.” — Alexander Graham Bell “All growth depends on activity. There is no development physically or intellectually without effort, and effort means work.”— Calvin Coolidge “Gratitude is not only the greatest of virtues, but the parent of all others.” — Cicero “When you start the day with the spirit of gratitude, everything else in your day works.” — Brian Buffini “We pinch ourselves every day that this is what we get to do for a living.” — Jay Wright, Head Coach at Villanova “The brave may not live forever, but the cautious don’t live at all.” — Sir Richard Branson “The ability to discipline yourself and delay gratification in the short term, in order to enjoy greater rewards in the long term, is the indispensable prerequisite for success.” — Brian Tracy “If you do what is easy, your life will be hard; but if you do what is hard, your life will be easy.” — Les Brown “Keep perspective of how far they’ve come. In order to appreciate a mountaintop you have to remember what the valley looks like.” — Brian Buffini “Somebody in your life came before you and fought so you could live your life. Someone in your lineage, that you don’t even know, somebody in your life paid a price to give you a better opportunity—what would they do with your opportunity?” — Brian Buffini “At the end of the day we’re all emigrants, and if you embrace that emigrant edge, you can have a “rags to riches” story in whatever area of your life you wish to focus on.” — Brian Buffini   Emigrant stories, people and other things mentioned in the episode: Vivek Ranadivé, owner of the Sacramento Kings NBA team Madeleine Albright, 64thS. Secretary of State Sergey Brin, founder of Google Peter Petrasek, who along with his wife left all their money to the U.S. Department of Treasury Jay Wright, head coach for Villanova University’s men’s basketball team The painting “An Emigrant Ship, Dublin Bay at Sunset” by the artist Edwin Hayes Lou Holtz Tommy Hopkins Zig Ziglar Lou Tice Stephen Covey Og Mandino Jim Rohn Alexander Graham Bell Calvin Coolidge Cicero Sir Richard Branson Brian Tracy Les Brown   Connect with Brian Buffini http://www.brianbuffini.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brianbuffini Twitter: https://twitter.com/brianbuffini Buffini Show Insiders: http://www.thebrianbuffinishow.com/insiders Love what you heard?
