Are you trying to push through the second half of the year on fumes? When was the last time you properly stepped away from the noise of your business? And could pressing pause actually be the thing that helps you move faster when you return? In this episode, I'm sharing a lesson from a recent week away in Menorca with Beth, where we did very little on purpose. No laptop, no emails, no social media, and no heroic "just checking in" nonsense. Just rest, reading, swimming, talking, and a proper reset after a very busy first half of the year. I explain why downtime is not a luxury, but essential business maintenance, and how the best coaches, athletes, and business owners understand the power of planned recovery. From Phil Jackson and the Chicago Bulls to Andy Reid, Steve Kerr, and Carlo Ancelotti, there's a reason elite performers build pauses, resets, and review points into their working rhythm. I also share why we meet every 90 days inside the Dog Daycare Success Academy, and how quarterly immersion events help owners step out of the chaos, clear the noise, and build a sharper plan for the next phase of growth. In this episode, you'll discover: Why Rest Is Strategy – How planned downtime gives you the energy and clarity to make better decisions. The Power of the Halftime Reset – What elite sports teams can teach business owners about stopping, reviewing, and adjusting. Why 90 Day Sprints Work – How quarterly planning creates urgency, focus, and momentum without burning you out How to Protect Your Reset Time – Why stepping away from your business should be treated like an essential appointment The DDSA Rhythm – How weekly execution and quarterly immersion events keep owners focused, supported, and moving forward.

Marcus Thompson, a prominent sports journalist from The Athletic, joined the show to discuss the latest rumors surrounding Lebron James' potential move to the Golden State Warriors. As the NBA world holds its breath, Marcus shared his insights on the possibility of Lebron joining the team, citing the Warriors' competitive advantage and the influence of his past experiences with coach Steve Kerr and teammate Steph Curry. Marcus delved into the history of Lebron and Steph's relationship, which began with a jersey on Steph's wall in high school and evolved into a deep friendship. He also discussed how Lebron's past experiences with the Olympics and his desire to play with a coach like Steve Kerr, who understands the importance of accommodating players' needs, could sway his decision. The conversation also touched on the Warriors' backup plan if they don't land Lebron, with Marcus mentioning Collin Sexton as a potential target. However, the news broke that Sexton has signed with the Los Angeles Lakers, changing the landscape of the situation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
I'm delighted to welcome Dr Jerry Lynch and John O'Sullivan back to the show to discuss their brand new book "Captain: The Athlete's Guide to Being an Exceptional Team Leader". Jerry is a performance, leadership and coaching expert helping people of all ages and abilities in all arenas of performance to develop the qualities of courage, integrity, fearlessness, tenacity, patience, persistence in order to overcome mental and emotional blocks.

He has worked with athletes and teams at universities such as The University of North Carolina, Duke, Maryland, Oregon State, Stanford, Harvard, and more.

John's work has been featured by CNN, Outside Magazine, ESPN, NBC Sports and numerous other media entities. John's background as an athlete and coach led him to start the Changing the Game project with the mission to put the 'play' back into 'play ball' by providing parents and coaches with the information and resources they need to make sport a healthy, positive, and rewarding experience for their children. In their new book, 'Captain', Jerry and John share wisdom accrued from decades of consultation with well over 100 championship teams, dozens of Hall of Fame coaches, and hundreds of interviews with Olympic, world champion, and professional athletes and team leaders. The lessons in this book will help readers start leading in a positive and constructive way, stop certain behaviours before they destroy team culture, and face the many challenges of being a team captain. Through numerous stories of well-known leaders such as Tim Duncan, Steve Kerr, Carla Overbeck, Abby Wambach, Carles Puyol, Richie McCaw, and Simone Biles, as well as lessons from Eastern philosophy and Western psychology, this book will help readers become a respected leader and a trusted bridge between coaches and teammates.

The Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks finally delivered New York's first NBA championship in 53 years, but Ric Bucher believes the rush to rank Brunson among the all-time greats misses the real story.In this episode of On The Ball, Ric explains why Brunson's greatness has less to do with historical comparisons and more to do with maximizing every ounce of ability, leadership, resilience and basketball IQ. He also examines how new head coach Mike Brown transformed the Knicks after replacing Tom Thibodeau, why championship rankings are a pointless exercise, and why dismissing New York's title because of today's NBA parity completely misses the point.Ric breaks down the Knicks' championship journey, the evolution of Karl-Anthony Towns and OG Anunoby, the impact of modern salary-cap restrictions on dynasties, and why every championship deserves respect regardless of the path taken.TIMESTAMPS00:00 – Introduction and where to find Ric Bucher 01:32 – Knicks win first title in 53 years and immediate Brunson legacy debates 02:23 – Why Game 5 changed the perception of Jalen Brunson 03:00 – The problem with ranking active players historically 04:12 – Bias, objectivity and evaluating NBA greatness 05:14 – What makes Brunson special despite limited physical advantages 06:20 – The mental traits that separate Brunson from his peers 07:08 – Why championship heartbreak can fuel future success 07:56 – Knicks compared to the 2008 Celtics championship core 08:38 – Why continuity alone rarely wins championships 09:35 – Examples from Celtics, Warriors and Cavaliers title runs 09:57 – Mike Brown's impact on transforming the Knicks 10:55 – Why Jordan Clarkson and Jose Alvarado mattered 11:40 – Steve Kerr's philosophy versus Tom Thibodeau's approach 12:00 – Jonathan Kuminga's development and role-player expectations 13:10 – How Brown changed the Knicks' culture and rotation 14:05 – Why championship rankings are meaningless 14:50 – Comparing the Knicks' run to the 1995 Rockets 15:40 – Breaking down New York's Eastern Conference path 16:55 – Why the Knicks were built to challenge San Antonio 17:45 – The "every title deserves an asterisk" argument 18:10 – Why calling the Knicks championship a participation trophy is absurd 19:10 – NBA parity and the value of championships 20:00 – How salary-cap rules have made dynasties harder than ever 20:55 – Why winning multiple titles today is increasingly difficult 21:20 – The internal evolution that made the Knicks champions 22:00 – Karl-Anthony Towns, OG Anunoby and sacrifice for the greater good 22:45 – The power of "we over me" in building a champion 23:20 – Final thoughts: Every championship deserves respect 24:00 – OutroHASHTAGS#NBA #NewYorkKnicks #JalenBrunson #NBAFinals #Knicks #MikeBrown #OGAnunoby #KarlAnthonyTowns #NBAPlayoffs #Basketball #OnTheBall #RicBucherSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/bucher-and-friends.

Making athletes work harder is one thing. Making athletes better is something else entirely — and Rustin Dodd draws that line clearly in this episode.In part two of JP Nerbun's conversation with Rustin Dodd and Elise Devlin of The Athletic's Peak section, the discussion moves from habits and rituals into the heart of transformational coaching. Elise covers Dan Quinn's player PowerPoint presentations, Lisa Bluder's deep-dive into understanding Caitlin Clark, and what Tara Vanderveer's lasting player relationships reveal about the longevity of great coaching. Rustin breaks down the energy cost of being a coach and why the coaches who last build support systems around themselves. The episode closes with John Harbaugh's accountability frame and why "shoot the ball" might be the most important thing a coach can say.For coaches who want to understand what separates the ones athletes call ten years later from the ones they just remember.Chapters(00:00) Intro: Studying Great Coaches(01:30) The Best Part of the Job(03:09) The Common Trait of Great Leaders(06:54) Getting to Know Your Players(10:10) Tough Conversations and Real Relationships(12:00) Who Would You Want to Be Coached By(13:57) Tom Izzo and the Power of Intensity(15:07) Who Would You Want as a Teammate(18:40) Jared McCain and the Inner Game of Tennis(19:47) The Origin of Executive Coaching(21:15) Sports and Business Culture Feed Each Other(22:25) What Coaches Do to Be at Their Best(24:09) Ownership as a Leadership Skill(24:56) Who Would You Invite to Dinner(29:36) Final Advice: Curiosity and Optimism(31:23) Shoot the Ball: Trust as a Coaching MetaphorTOC 3-2-13 Quotes | 2 Questions | 1 ResourceYour fast-track to the episode's most actionable ideas."Being a coach that can get your players to work harder is easier than being a coach that can make them better.

Are you building a champion — or just chasing a trophy? In this episode of Winners Find A Way, Coach Trent M. Clark sits down with John O'Sullivan, author, speaker, and founder of Changing the Game Project — one of the most influential voices in youth sports development today. John is a former Division I soccer player at Fordham University, a master's-level researcher, and the author of five books on youth sports, coaching, and athlete leadership. His work has been recognized by the US Olympic Committee and major sport governing bodies around the world. He co-hosts the Way of Champions podcast with Jerry Lynch — nearly 500 episodes with guests like Phil Jackson and Steve Kerr — and his latest book, Captain: The Athlete's Guide to Being an Exceptional Team Leader, is now available everywhere. This conversation covers the full landscape of what it actually takes to develop athletes — and what so many coaches and parents get wrong. John and Trent dig into the difference between information and knowledge, why curiosity is the number one trait of elite coaches, and how the "me culture" of college sports is trickling down to youth programs. They talk about parents, pressure, social media, NIL, and the moment a coach stops talking to an athlete — and what that silence really means. This episode is a reminder that winners are not people who never face setbacks. Winners are the ones who learn, adjust, lead, and find a way. In This Episode, We Discuss: Why the best coaches in the world share one common trait — curiosity What John's new book Captain teaches athletes about leading from any position How the "me culture" in college sports trickles down and why kids struggle to transition to team-first environments What scouts actually ask about when they watch your kid play The real role of parents in youth sports — and how to be the fan your child needs Why coachability is a decision, not a personality trait The inner voice: how to train the coach inside your head Individual sports vs. team sports — and why every athlete should experience both Key Takeaways ✨ Curiosity is the common denominator of elite coaches John has interviewed Hall of Famers, Olympians, and championship coaches for nine years. Every single one is still curious. The ones who plateau decided they already know everything. ✨ Great teammates are always in demand Scouts don't just watch the stats. They ask: How does this kid treat the worst player on the team? Character traits like humility, coachability, and selflessness are skills — and they carry into every team you'll ever be part of. ✨ When a coach stops talking to you, the end is near Coaches invest their energy where it counts. Three "yeah buts" and they redirect to athletes who are coachable and worth the oxygen. ✨ Train the voice in your head The late Jim Lehr said it best: the most influential coach in your life is the voice inside your head. If that voice was a person, would you be friends with them? ✨ Begin with the end in mind Before signing your kid up for a travel team, ask: What do I actually want sports to give them? Then find a coach and program that builds those things.

Czabe is happy the Wizards pulled off the "perfect tank" job, but his running mate today ANDY POLLIN is so "over it" that he wouldn't have cared if the NBA ended up fucking them anyway. Odd. A nearly 50-year gap between Conference(!) final appearances, this woeful team finally might get good. We'll see. RIP Bobby Cox, how long will it take for St. Peter to send him to the showers at the pearly gates for arguing? That time I tried to be "too funny" on ESPN Radio. Lebron's last ride? Or just more leverage? Steve Kerr turns down a bag of TV money, that'll be there waiting for him anyway in 2 years. Barkley doesn't punch down. Suicide by Airbus A320.

Most basketball fans first took note of Steve Kerr when he played for the Chicago Bulls in the nineteen-nineties, but it's through coaching that Kerr really came to the fore in the N.B.A. For more than twelve years, he's led the Golden State Warriors to four titles, and a record seventy-three-win season, in 2016. He also took home an Olympic gold medal as the coach of the U.S. men's team in 2024. Kerr has used his platform, at times, to wade into politics. He's spoken at the Democratic National Convention, and his name comes up in conversations about candidates for higher office. He's also been vocal about President Donald Trump, which is not without some risk. “Calling the President a buffoon? I kind of regret that, even though I felt it in my heart, even though a lot of people agreed with me,” Kerr tells the staff writer Charles Bethea. Further reading: “Has Steve Kerr Had Enough?,” by Charles Bethea “U.S.A. Basketball Is Still an Awkward Fit at the Olympics,” by Louisa Thomas New episodes of The New Yorker Radio Hour drop every Tuesday and Friday. Join host David Remnick as he discusses the latest in politics, news, and current events in conversation with political leaders, newsmakers, innovators, New Yorker staff writers, authors, actors, and musicians.

Jason criticizes the sports world's lack of response to yet another assassination attempt against President Donald Trump. Athletes express “their truths” on a plethora of topics, but when it comes to POTUS, most clam up. A New Yorker magazine feature story on Steve Kerr leads Frank Luntz to suggest he might be preparing for the political arena. Shemeka Michelle and Virgil Walker address another attempt against President Trump. Steve Kim and Jay Skapinac turn the page to sports, discussing Mike Tomlin announcing he's joining NBC's football coverage; whether Aaron Rodgers will quarterback the Pittsburgh Steelers; yet another smoking gun in the Dianna Russini saga; whether Kevin Durant is truly an all-time top 10 NBA forward; and the San Francisco 49ers' brain trust responding to accusations that the team is “reaching” in the NFL draft. ➢ Subscribe to Jason's other channel https://www.youtube.com/JasonWhitlock?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.youtube.com/@JasonWhitlockHarmony?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.youtube.com/@JasonWhitlockBYOG?sub_confirmation=1 https://www.youtube.com/@JasonWhitlockClips?sub_confirmation=1 ➢ Connect with Jason on Social Media: https://x.com/JasonWhitlock https://www.instagram.com/realjasonwhitlock/ https://www.facebook.com/jasonwhitlock ➢ Send Jason an Email FearlessBlazeShow@gmail.com ➢ Support The Blaze Visit https://TheBlaze.com.
