A new energy is taking over Portland. The Vikings are rising, and at the center of it all is Coach Karlie Burris, the dynamic leader redefining what women's basketball looks like at Portland State University.With over 14 years of coaching experience, Coach Burris brings a reputation for discipline, culture, and player development to Viking Nation. But her story isn't just about wins and losses—it's about leadership, perseverance, and purpose.Born and raised in Tucson, Arizona, Karlie Burris was a natural competitor from the start. After a standout career at South Point Catholic High School, she became a four-year starter at the University of Portland, where her defensive intensity and leadership set her apart. She didn't just play basketball—she studied it. And when her playing days ended, she knew her journey with the game was far from over.Her coaching career began under Hall of Fame coach Joan Bonvicini at Seattle University, and from there, the West Coast became her classroom. Stops at Northern Arizona, UNLV, and Seattle helped shape her philosophy—one built on accountability, player growth, and building championship habits. “We're going to be intentional with each and every day,” she says. “It's about preparation, purpose, and progress.”Now at the helm of Portland State, Coach Burris is leading a cultural shift. The Vikings are young, hungry, and ready to make noise in the Big Sky Conference. With nine returners and a group of talented newcomers, Burris is creating an identity rooted in toughness, energy, and community. “We're building brick by brick,” she explains. “This program will be known for its heart and hustle.”Fans can expect a fast-paced, high-energy style of basketball—an up-tempo attack built on movement, teamwork, and relentless defense. But beyond the X's and O's, Burris's approach is personal. “It's not just a four-year deal with me,” she says. “I'm going to care about these players for the rest of their lives.” That genuine care for her athletes is what makes her one of the most respected young head coaches in the game.Off the court, Coach Burris is every bit as dynamic. A black belt in Taekwondo, an avid golfer, and a skilled guitarist, she lives with the same passion she coaches with. She credits her wife and family for their unwavering support, reminding players that balance, gratitude, and authenticity are key to long-term success.With the season opener against Hawaii on the horizon and four early commitments already locked in for next year's recruiting class, the momentum at Portland State is undeniable. Burris's vision is bold: elevate the program, empower her players, and give Viking Nation something to believe in again.“This city loves women's sports,” she says, her eyes lighting up with confidence. “We're going to give Portland something to be proud of.”In this episode of SportsLifeTalk's You Got Next, Head Coach KT and B Jones sit down with Coach Burris to unpack her journey—from Tucson to Portland, from player to program builder—and explore how she's creating a new standard for women's basketball in the Pacific Northwest.Expect passion, purpose, and powerful lessons on leadership, intentionality, and believing in the process.

In this episode, we speak with Katie Lynch, a doctoral candidate in Social and Behavioral Sciences at NYU GPH, whose work uniquely blends anthropology, public health, and community-based research.

She shares insights on her dissertation, which focuses on the intersection of climate change and public health, particularly the long-term impacts of wildfire smoke exposure on different generations in California. Katie also shares how her long-standing passion for Taekwondo has provided her with a unique perspective on resilience and the importance of being present in the moment. This episode is a testament to the power of asking "why" and how curiosity and strong disciplinary training can lead to impactful public health research.

Ever wonder why a world title doesn't hit the same anymore? We dig into how Taekwondo's points era reshaped status, strategy, and what “champion” really means. From Grand Prix saturation to the 12‑point gap, we unpack how incentives changed athlete behavior and why the crown now rewards game mastery more than old-school attrition. It's not easier—it's different—and that shift matters for coaches, athletes, and anyone trying to build a program that lasts.We get personal about roles on and off the mat: are we better as athletes or coaches? You'll hear blunt truths about buy‑in, patience, and what it takes to guide competitors who don't share your hunger. We talk systems, not saviors: why federations fail when they chase outliers, how to design a pipeline that produces consistent contenders, and the core ingredients that actually scale—stance integrity, distance control, layered counters, and honest conditioning that holds up under pressure.Training myths take a beating. We separate flashy mashups from work that transfers, laying out a structure where physical prep feeds technical skill and tactical decisions without gimmicks. And because we still love the sport's soul, we play with cross‑era dream matchups and pay respect to legends whose presence changed rooms—proof that intent, IQ, and fundamentals never go out of style.If you care about high‑performance Taekwondo, sustainable athlete development, and what truly creates champions, this one's for you. Subscribe, share with a coach who needs it, and drop a review telling us which title you value more—and why.

Taekwondo isn't just a sport for Stacey Hymer. Iit's a lifelong pursuit of strength, focus, and belief. The dual Olympian opens up about her journey, her proudest moments, and the unwavering dream of Olympic glory that continues to inspire her.

What happens when you say yes to what brings you joy, even if it starts on the side? For Chicago-based artist and designer Alyssa Low, it began with a quiet sketch. A visual diary during the early days of the pandemic. “I was just trying to express what I was feeling, when words didn't quite work,” she says. That simple practice of showing up for herself turned into something bigger. One mural became two. Then came the collaborations: Wayfair. The Chicago Bulls. Soho House. Public art that now lives across city walls, basketball courts, patios, and even 10,000 hats handed out at a Bulls game. Alyssa is a multidisciplinary artist and muralist whose work is rooted in bold color, community connection, and movement. But she still holds a full-time design job. And she still approaches every project with the same focus and curiosity that shaped her as a kid, watching her mom run a design studio out of their home, playing competitive soccer, and practicing Tae Kwon Do forms that taught her how to focus, adapt, and flow. I n her words: “If it brings me joy, I keep going. That's when the best work shows up.” I n this episode, Alyssa shares: + How to build something meaningful, while still working full-time + The moment murals “clicked” and what made her say yes before she felt ready + What it felt like to see thousands of people wearing her design at a Bulls game vHow sports and martial arts helped her find her rhythm as an artist and entrepreneur vWhy staying connected to identity, culture, and community gives her work purpose Whether you're a creative, a leader, a builder, or simply someone figuring out what's next—this story is a reminder to pay attention to what lights you up. Because sometimes, the most important step is simply starting.

A few jokes about shirts and travel fade fast into a sharp conversation about what really creates champions: coaching lineage, foundations, and the mindset to break another person's will. We talk about why great coaches rarely emerge alone, tracing the tree from mentors to protégés and how culture transmits the skills that outlast any ruleset. Fancy drills come and go; repeatable movement, distance control, and conditioning keep winning. That lens reframes today's game, too—less about flash, more about pressure, and knowing when to keep feeding the one thing your opponent can't solve.We also confront two uncomfortable truths. First, not every win is a win. In must‑win moments, take the W. But scraping past a weak opponent is a red flag, not momentum. Second, rituals help—until they own you. The best athletes build reliable routines and stay flexible when chaos hits. Along the way, we name the two loneliest moments in sport (the walk to the ring, and the walk back after a loss) and why short memories and honest analysis matter more than hype.Then we zoom out. If Taekwondo wants a real leap, it needs incentives: sustainable funding for developing talent, event purses that matter, and a professional league structure fans can follow. Imagine small, capped rosters, cross‑national recruitment, consistent storylines, and prize money that keeps athletes training full‑time. That shift would attract better athletes, extend careers, and turn sporadic brilliance into sustained excellence. Until then, foundations and culture carry the sport; with real money and a league, they could carry it further.If this conversation got you thinking, share it with a coach or teammate, hit follow, and leave a review with the one barrier you think Taekwondo should break next.

This episode is a call to reframe how we show up on the sidelines and in life. Sports can be more than competition—they can be a platform for presence, growth, and connection.

Praise Effort, Not Just Results When we focus on our kids' preparation, persistence, and grit rather than wins or trophies, we help them develop a growth mindset that builds confidence and resilience. 2. Real-Life Stories Create Connection Sharing your own stories of hard work, sacrifice, and struggle makes your guidance more credible and relatable—and shows your kids you've been in their shoes. 3. Play Without a Purpose Connection often happens in the unstructured moments. Whether it's football or taekwondo, playing with your kids for the sake of fun builds trust and memories. 4. Ask Better Questions Instead of asking “How was practice?”, ask “What did you learn this week from sports?” Push them to reflect and communicate their growth and insights. 5. Lead Without Losing What Matters Whether you're a career man or building a business, don't trade connection with your wife or kids for productivity. Build both—intentionally.

What separates momentary success from sustained dominance in athletic programs? In this thought-provoking episode, we dig deep into the architecture of championship development systems with insights from coaches who've produced world-class athletes.Strong leadership emerges as the cornerstone of excellence. "The team takes on the identity of the coach," Coach Moreno explains, highlighting how programs with clear philosophical approaches create consistency that weathers competitive storms. While flashy techniques and scientific measurement tools have their place, mastery of fundamentals remains the bedrock of long-term excellence. Programs that maintain focus on core skills adapt better when competition formats evolve, demonstrating greater longevity.We explore the delicate ecosystem of team composition – why the most successful training environments aren't simply collections of champions but diverse communities where different strengths complement each other. As Coach Moreno puts it, "You don't just build a room with a bunch of champions. You need tough guys, energy guys, developing guys."The conversation tackles the tension between immediate results and developmental patience, warning against the "short-term mentality" that rushes athletes prematurely. Looking at successful sporting nations, we examine how investment in youth development creates sustained excellence through structured pathways for advancement.Whether you're an athlete, coach, or program builder, this episode provides a blueprint for creating not just individual champions but generations of successful competitors who carry forward standards of excellence. Join us for insights that transcend any single sport and reveal the universal principles behind athletic greatness.

Arjun Dingra brought something special to this conversation. Two-time Taekwondo world champion. Twenty-five years in mortgage and real estate. Founder of the LFG Society. This man understands resilience at levels most people never reach. Arjun's story starts with getting bullied as a kid. His mom accidentally put him in Taekwondo instead of karate. That mistake changed everything. But here's what really got me. Arjun survived 2008. That financial collapse wiped out most people in mortgage and real estate. Six hundred thousand professionals exited the industry. Arjun stayed. Not because he was smarter than everyone else. Because he understood something deeper about resilience. Arjun felt that loneliness and vowed never to let anyone else experience it alone. That's where the LFG Society came from. Not from success. From surviving the worst and wanting to make sure others don't suffer alone. The LFG Society isn't just another mastermind. It's a community built on martial arts principles. Good students learn anytime anywhere. Arjun sees opportunity where others see problems. His advice for getting into mortgage or real estate right now. The industry purged six hundred thousand people who treated it like easy money during COVID. Now there's demand for real advisors. People who understand markets. Who can guide clients strategically. Not just process transactions. The conversation about values and boundaries hit deep. Sometimes you have to go scorched earth. Not from emotion. From principle. When your core values are threatened you don't compromise. That's wisdom from both business and martial arts. Know when to de-escalate. Know when to stand firm. Arjun embodies the principle of being in service to others. His whole career. His community. His teaching. All focused on lifting people up. That's why success follows him. You can't be lonely in business when you're genuinely serving others.We Meet: Arjun Dhingra, LFG SocietyConnect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanConnect with Arjun: www.arjundhingra.com Subscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLINAbout Arjun: Arjun is a 23-year mortgage advisor, 2-time TaeKwon-Do world champion, and former Team USA Co-head coach.

He is the founder of the LFG Society, that just launched last year.

What makes a champion in combat sports? Is greatness born or built? This fascinating deep dive into the heart of Taekwondo excellence brings together Olympic-level coaches to dissect the qualities that separate elite fighters from the rest.The conversation opens with a critical distinction – there's a fundamental difference between general athletes and combat athletes. While many sports demand specific physical attributes, Taekwondo presents a unique arena where outliers can thrive despite not fitting conventional molds. We explore how the physical requirements have evolved from explosiveness and power to a greater emphasis on coordination, flexibility, and muscular endurance.Perhaps the most compelling insights emerge when discussing the mental aspects of championship development. One former champion attributes his success not to innate talent but to an extraordinary work ethic: "I'd run streets at 5am when it was 20 below...and this was before I was even good." This dedication to process over results emerges as a defining characteristic of those who reach the pinnacle of the sport.The coaches tackle the thorny question of specialization – when should young athletes focus exclusively on Taekwondo? Their consensus points to age 12-13 as the sweet spot, warning that earlier specialization often leads to burnout and limited physical development. This perspective challenges conventional wisdom about early sport specialization in America.What truly distinguishes these coaches' approach is their balanced philosophy, blending traditional discipline with modern motivational techniques. As one puts it, "old school work ethic with new school motivation." This harmonizing of seemingly opposite approaches creates an environment where athletes can develop both the technical skills and mental fortitude required for international success.Whether you're a Taekwondo practitioner, coach, parent of a young athlete, or simply fascinated by the psychology of elite performance, this episode offers rare insights into the making of champions.

Welcome to a fresh episode of Warehouse 15, where we're diving back into the taekwondo world after our adventures in Peru. The episode kicks off with light-hearted banter about travel experiences before tackling the recent President's Cup results that have sent shockwaves through the Pan American region.Brazil's dominance steals the spotlight as we analyze their unprecedented performance—securing seven out of eight finals positions and claiming six gold medals. This historic achievement prompts us to question the current competitive landscape, especially with the absence of American athletes on the top podium despite their significant presence at the tournament. We explore what this shift might mean for the future of Pan American taekwondo competition and the upcoming World Championships in Wuxi, China.Electronic scoring controversies remain a persistent challenge in modern taekwondo, and we don't hold back in discussing the frustrations of inconsistent referee decisions and scoring system flaws. From the potential removal of video replay cards to the messy dynamics of pushing and grabbing rules, we examine how these technical aspects impact athletes' performances and coaches' strategies. Our conversation reveals how constantly changing rules create a chaotic environment where skill doesn't always translate to victory.The podcast takes a thoughtful turn as we reflect on deeper questions of friendship, loyalty, and principles that extend beyond the sport. Drawing from personal experiences and observations, we consider how these values shape our interactions and relationships in both taekwondo and life. The conversation closes with measured thoughts on maintaining respect and dialogue in an increasingly polarized world.Whether you're a competitive athlete, coach, or taekwondo enthusiast, this episode offers valuable insights into the current state of international competition while challenging you to consider the values that truly matter in sport and beyond. Join us for this thought-provoking discussion that balances technical analysis with philosophical reflection.

I became obsessed with human strength, discipline, and the pursuit of becoming a real-life superhero.Years later, I graduated with a mechanical engineering degree, worked for the Department of Defense, and lived deep inside “the Matrix.”But something was missing...I opened a gym, worked in the fitness industry, and eventually found plant medicine. That discovery became the missing piece — the doorway to my true path.Over the last 8 years, through ceremony, death, and rebirth… my old life ended.

It's not easy going out as the Kevin Cronin Band, I will tell you. You can't overestimate the power of the name REO Speedwagon and that ubiquitous, winged logo. They mean a lot to people. I can sit here and say that the Kevin Cronin band is doing the same thing until I'm blue in the face, but when people see the Kevin Cronin Band, there's a question -- 'I wonder what this is gonna be?' -- whereas if you see REO Speedwagon and the winged logo on the bill, it's 'I know what that is.'"Even though he's called his decision to no longer tour "heartbreaking", Cronin will appear at select shows, like the Rock Legends Cruise in 2026.
