Empty Coaching.  Words and phrases that lack teeth. “Good job! You're getting there! I like that.” “We've got to get better. C'mon, step it up. That's not what I'm looking for.” We've all been guilty of letting these clichés fly out of our mouths at one point or another. But do they actually help inspire change or simply fill the silence? In today's episode, we cut through these hollow lines and explore how we, as leaders and coaches, can move beyond surface-level feedback to foster both immediate performance improvements and long-term growth..  Brett and our guest, Tex McQuilkin, get to the heart of what makes feedback impactful—what to say, when to say it, and how to become the kind of leader the world truly needs. Tex, a national-level presenter, coach, and content creator, brings his expertise as a certified strength and conditioning specialist and holds a Master's in health behavior change. He's led seminars in 16 countries, working with everyone from professional athletes to Navy SEALs. Today's show is a very fun and honest conversation between two friends and colleagues on a range of topics including: Augmented feedback: the different types and how to make each one impactful The #1 tactic any coach or leader can use to improve IMMEDIATELY Shame as a motivator and our ability to harness negative emotions How treating our thoughts as “tourists” can help us defeat our negativity bias And *BONUS*: What Michael Myers can teach us about coaching We want to thank Tex for joining us! Follow him on Instagram @mcquilkin, check out his new podcast, Captains & Coaches, and catch him across the Art Of Coaching universe—whether at our live events, in our mastermind group The Coalition, or online in our digital community. The Apprenticeship - Become more socially agile with our live Leadership Training Workshop. When we say “leadership training,” we are not referring to cheesy corny trust-falls, motivational speak, or anything of the sorts.  We are talking about the things that people say they wish they would have known earlier in their career and life - how to navigate difficult people and conversations, power dynamics, negotiations, and implement change. If you deal with people-problems at all, if you're in a leadership position or want to be in a leadership role, if you want LESS DRAMA - you need to get to this event!

Tex from Power Athlete joins us live in person to chat about the art of warming up. We cover what you're doing wrong and how it effects the outcome of your training. Here is everything you need to execute the perfect warm up.

Known for his Power Athlete HQ fame - Tex travels the globe teaching S & C seminars and we were lucky enough to snag him on the WWO Podcast during his recent trip down under. My Specific Essay Question for Tex was:  I don't know any High School Quarterbacks, but I know plenty who are the equivalent in Australia whether that be AFL, Rugby League or an assortment of other sports, proper teenage studs, and all of them bar one went on to achieve nothing in their sport. What is Potential? How important is it? ... and if I am someone with it; What do I need to know so that I can take what I have and achieve my ultimate desire.

On Episode 180 of the Doc and Jock Podcast we are joined by Tex McQuilkin & Luke Summers to talk about why your warm-up SUCKS and why it needs to be better to perform better. The warm-up: how many of you skip this phase of your training? Or even worse just hit a couple rounds of Cindy or a casual assault bike ride and then get your barbell loaded and go? The sad truth is that most people & gyms put this amount of effort into their warm-ups and it is completely ruining workouts for athletes. Luckily for you we have Luke and Tex from Power Athlete HQ here to fix the problem. The boys just got done with their warm-up series for the CrossFit open workouts and now are working on gathering some seriously impressive data on how much better people perform with a legit warm-up. Now they are here to share the knowledge. Here are some topics we cover today: -Why the warm-up is the most important time for a coach -Heart rate > Iso-stability > Dynamics > Energy Systems for the Day > Limiting Factors & Attacking It: this is the warm-up process. What you need to know to program it. -Understanding the difference between warming up different modalities (olympic lifting v. a long metcon). We end this conversation with a left turn talking about athlete foot position for sport. If you aren't familiar with Tex here is his bio: Tex is a former collegiate lacrosse defensive midfielder, 4-year letter winner and 3-year team captain. Coached strength and conditioning collegiately with Georgetown University football, Men's and Women's lacrosse and Women's Crew, as well with the University of Texas at Austin's football program.

Head coached CrossFit Dupont's program for two years in Washington D.C. Received a Master's in Health Promotion Management from Marymount University in 2010, and has been a coach for Power Athlete since October, 2012. If you aren't familiar with Luke here is his bio: Luke has been training athletes in CrossFit, Weightlifting, and Olympic Lifting since 2007. He spent 6 years pushing pencils in “Corporate America,” spending 3 of those years moonlighting as a Strength & Conditioning Coach before and after work. Luke was an athlete his whole life and played multiple sports, but his primary focus was football. He played up through college until a neck injury forced him to hang it up. He travels with the CrossFit Football staff and has coaches a variety of athletes from amateur to professional levels in football, baseball, and track. Here is where to check out Luke & Tex #1.

What PA has coming up in terms of events and contact info What is Power Athlete? Power Athlete is a training system and community for building strong, efficient, fast, powerful athletes. With performance at the forefront, we see the emergence of Power Athlete HQ, a site continuing where CrossFit Football leaves off; as an online resource dedicated to providing coaches and athletes of various backgrounds comprehensive insight into meeting their training goals. From day one, CrossFit Football has had a singular focus to develop strength, speed, and athleticism in its power athletes.  While fitness is just one component of athleticism, efficient movement and stability are paramount in sport.  We strive for perfection of movement, strength of body and mind, and put an emphasis in training as we fight. Power Athlete HQ worked with thousands of athletes ranging from amateur to professionals and have decades of experience coaching and playing at professional levels. One thing is clear: in competition, very few rise to the occasion, the majority tend to fall to the level of their training. To account for this, we believe in the persistent pursuit of perfection with our athletes. The Power Athlete team is dedicated to providing relevant content to our followers with one goal in mind: creating strong, efficient, fast and most importantly, powerful athletes.
