What if you could build a private practice that fits your family's needs, gives you the flexibility you crave, and allows you to grow a team of passionate clinicians? Today's guest is doing exactly that, and I can't wait for you to hear her journey!I'm thrilled to introduce you to Sarah Landry, a speech-language pathologist with 22 years of experience and the founder and owner of Talk Blossom, a speech therapy practice serving families across the Treasure Valley in Meridian, Idaho.In this episode, Sarah shares how she went from saying “never” and doubting herself to confidently leading a growing practice, driven by a desire to serve the whole family, not just the child in front of her.Sarah's therapeutic approach centers on family-centered therapy and a parent coaching model, built on the belief that lasting progress happens when parents are involved in the therapeutic process. Talk Blossom offers speech, language, and feeding therapy for pediatric clients of all ages, with sessions designed to be both effective and engaging for kids.Today, Sarah leads a team of five speech-language pathologists, fostering a collaborative culture where clinicians work together to support families and each other. Her work has earned her recognition as one of Idaho's Best in Specialty Medicine, and she's also an active advocate for the field, having recently spoken at her state capitol in support of Medicaid coverage for speech services.Outside of patient care, Sarah enjoys spending time with her family and supporting her team.In Today's Episode, We Discuss:How a move out of state gave her the reset she needed to finally take the leapThe power of starting with just one private-pay client and growing from thereWhat it really looks like to transition from solo provider to employerWhy letting go of control and trusting your team is the secret to getting your freedom backSarah is truly living proof that you don't have to have a master plan from day one. Her journey started with a simple desire for more freedom after her son was born, and it grew step-by-step into something far bigger than she ever imagined. That philosophy serving the whole family continues to shape everything about Talk Blossom today.She says it best herself: "You're more capable than you think you are."Whether you're a new clinician dreaming of private practice or an established owner looking to expand, Sarah's story shows that taking that first step even when it's scary is the most important thing you can do.If you're ready to stop waiting and start building a practice that's truly aligned with your goals, Private Practice School is here to help.

Kurt Taylor: Rebuilding Ridgevue Football Through Culture, Leadership, and Hard Work What does it actually take to build a winning football culture? In this episode of The Gametime Guru Podcast, Shane Larson sits down with Kurt Taylor, the head football coach at Ridgevue High School, for a powerful conversation about coaching, leadership, adversity, player development, community buy-in, and what it takes to build a football program the right way. Coach Taylor brings more than 20 years of coaching experience to Ridgevue football, and this episode goes far beyond the scoreboard. We talk about his football journey, growing up in Oregon, dealing with serious injuries as a high school athlete, the mental health challenges that came with losing the opportunity to play college football, and how coaching became the calling that helped shape his life. This conversation is especially valuable for athletes, parents, coaches, and leaders who want to understand what culture really means inside a program. Coach Taylor shares what it has been like stepping into the Ridgevue football program, how he is working to build trust with players, parents, coaches, and the North Nampa community, and why consistency matters when a program has gone through multiple coaching changes. One of the biggest themes in this episode is that culture is not just something you say. It is something you build every single day through standards, expectations, relationships, core values, and the experience players have inside the program. In this episode, we talk about: Kurt Taylor's football journey and how he fell in love with the game Growing up in Oregon and knowing early that he wanted to coach How injuries impacted his football dreams The mental health side of losing opportunities as an athlete Why hard work is the great equalizer How coaching became his calling What brought Coach Taylor from Oregon to Idaho Why Ridgevue football has a unique opportunity right now How to rebuild trust after multiple coaching changes What real football culture looks like Why parents, players, coaches, and community all matter How Ridgevue is building from the youth level up The importance of player leadership and leadership councils Ridgevue players to watch this season Why the weight room is the foundation of a successful football program Why Coach Taylor believes the power clean is one of the best lifts for football players What Ridgevue fans can expect from the program moving forward Coach Taylor also talks about the importance of developing young men beyond football. His goal is not just to build better athletes. It is to help players become better leaders, better teammates, and better people who can take the lessons from football into the rest of their lives. We also dive into the importance of the weight room, strength and conditioning, speed development, and mental toughness. Coach Taylor explains why the weight room is where athletes build more than strength. It is where they learn how to push through discomfort, respond to adversity, and build confidence that carries into the fourth quarter and beyond. Whether you are a Ridgevue football fan, a Treasure Valley sports fan, a high school athlete, a parent, a coach, or someone who loves conversations about leadership and sports, this episode gives a great look at what Coach Taylor and his staff are building at Ridgevue High School.

Your Throne, O God, Is ForeverTo the choirmaster: according to Lilies. A Maskil[a] of the Sons of Korah; a love song.45 My heart overflows with a pleasing theme;    I address my verses to the king;    my tongue is like the pen of a ready scribe.2 You are the most handsome of the sons of men;    grace is poured upon your lips;    therefore God has blessed you forever.3 Gird your sword on your thigh, O mighty one,    in your splendor and majesty!4 In your majesty ride out victoriously    for the cause of truth and meekness and righteousness;    let your right hand teach you awesome deeds!5 Your arrows are sharp    in the heart of the king's enemies;    the peoples fall under you.6 Your throne, O God, is forever and ever.    The scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of uprightness;7     you have loved righteousness and hated wickedness.Therefore God, your God, has anointed you    with the oil of gladness beyond your companions;8     your robes are all fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia.From ivory palaces stringed instruments make you glad;9     daughters of kings are among your ladies of honor;    at your right hand stands the queen in gold of Ophir.10 Hear, O daughter, and consider, and incline your ear:    forget your people and your father's house,11     and the king will desire your beauty.Since he is your lord, bow to him.12     The people[b] of Tyre will seek your favor with gifts,    the richest of the people.[c]13 All glorious is the princess in her chamber, with robes interwoven with gold.14     In many-colored robes she is led to the king,    with her virgin companions following behind her.15 With joy and gladness they are led along    as they enter the palace of the king.16 In place of your fathers shall be your sons;    you will make them princes in all the earth.17 I will cause your name to be remembered in all generations;    therefore nations will praise you forever and ever.+++For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

Come to Our HelpTo the choirmaster. A Maskil[a] of the Sons of Korah.44 O God, we have heard with our ears,    our fathers have told us,what deeds you performed in their days,    in the days of old:2 you with your own hand drove out the nations,    but them you planted;you afflicted the peoples,    but them you set free;3 for not by their own sword did they win the land,    nor did their own arm save them,but your right hand and your arm,    and the light of your face,    for you delighted in them.4 You are my King, O God;    ordain salvation for Jacob!5 Through you we push down our foes;    through your name we tread down those who rise up against us.6 For not in my bow do I trust,    nor can my sword save me.7 But you have saved us from our foes    and have put to shame those who hate us.8 In God we have boasted continually,    and we will give thanks to your name forever. Selah9 But you have rejected us and disgraced us    and have not gone out with our armies.10 You have made us turn back from the foe,    and those who hate us have gotten spoil.11 You have made us like sheep for slaughter    and have scattered us among the nations.12 You have sold your people for a trifle,    demanding no high price for them.13 You have made us the taunt of our neighbors,    the derision and scorn of those around us.14 You have made us a byword among the nations,    a laughingstock[b] among the peoples.15 All day long my disgrace is before me,    and shame has covered my face16 at the sound of the taunter and reviler,    at the sight of the enemy and the avenger.17 All this has come upon us,    though we have not forgotten you,    and we have not been false to your covenant.18 Our heart has not turned back,    nor have our steps departed from your way;19 yet you have broken us in the place of jackals    and covered us with the shadow of death.20 If we had forgotten the name of our God    or spread out our hands to a foreign god,21 would not God discover this?    For he knows the secrets of the heart.22 Yet for your sake we are killed all the day long;    we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.23 Awake! Why are you sleeping, O Lord?    Rouse yourself! Do not reject us forever!24 Why do you hide your face?    Why do you forget our affliction and oppression?25 For our soul is bowed down to the dust;    our belly clings to the ground.26 Rise up; come to our help!    Redeem us for the sake of your steadfast love!+++For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

Book TwoWhy Are You Cast Down, O My Soul?To the choirmaster. A Maskil[a] of the Sons of Korah.42 As a deer pants for flowing streams,    so pants my soul for you, O God.2 My soul thirsts for God,    for the living God.When shall I come and appear before God?[b]3 My tears have been my food    day and night,while they say to me all the day long,    “Where is your God?”4 These things I remember,    as I pour out my soul:how I would go with the throng    and lead them in procession to the house of Godwith glad shouts and songs of praise,    a multitude keeping festival.5 Why are you cast down, O my soul,    and why are you in turmoil within me?Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,    my salvation[c] 6 and my God.My soul is cast down within me;    therefore I remember youfrom the land of Jordan and of Hermon,    from Mount Mizar.7 Deep calls to deep    at the roar of your waterfalls;all your breakers and your waves    have gone over me.8 By day the Lord commands his steadfast love,    and at night his song is with me,    a prayer to the God of my life.9 I say to God, my rock:    “Why have you forgotten me?Why do I go mourning    because of the oppression of the enemy?”10 As with a deadly wound in my bones,    my adversaries taunt me,while they say to me all the day long,    “Where is your God?”11 Why are you cast down, O my soul,    and why are you in turmoil within me?Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,    my salvation and my God.Send Out Your Light and Your Truth43 Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause    against an ungodly people,from the deceitful and unjust man    deliver me!2 For you are the God in whom I take refuge;    why have you rejected me?Why do I go about mourning    because of the oppression of the enemy?3 Send out your light and your truth;    let them lead me;let them bring me to your holy hill    and to your dwelling!4 Then I will go to the altar of God,    to God my exceeding joy,and I will praise you with the lyre,    O God, my God.5 Why are you cast down, O my soul,    and why are you in turmoil within me?Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,    my salvation and my God.+++For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

Taste and See That the Lord Is Good[a] Of David, when he changed his behavior before Abimelech, so that he drove him out, and he went away.34 I will bless the Lord at all times;    his praise shall continually be in my mouth.2 My soul makes its boast in the Lord;    let the humble hear and be glad.3 Oh, magnify the Lord with me,    and let us exalt his name together!4 I sought the Lord, and he answered me    and delivered me from all my fears.5 Those who look to him are radiant,    and their faces shall never be ashamed.6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him    and saved him out of all his troubles.7 The angel of the Lord encamps    around those who fear him, and delivers them.8 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!    Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!9 Oh, fear the Lord, you his saints,    for those who fear him have no lack!10 The young lions suffer want and hunger;    but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.11 Come, O children, listen to me;    I will teach you the fear of the Lord.12 What man is there who desires life    and loves many days, that he may see good?13 Keep your tongue from evil    and your lips from speaking deceit.14 Turn away from evil and do good;    seek peace and pursue it.15 The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous    and his ears toward their cry.16 The face of the Lord is against those who do evil,    to cut off the memory of them from the earth.17 When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears    and delivers them out of all their troubles.18 The Lord is near to the brokenhearted    and saves the crushed in spirit.19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous,    but the Lord delivers him out of them all.20 He keeps all his bones;    not one of them is broken.21 Affliction will slay the wicked,    and those who hate the righteous will be condemned.22 The Lord redeems the life of his servants;    none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned.+++For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

The Steadfast Love of the Lord33 Shout for joy in the Lord, O you righteous!    Praise befits the upright.2 Give thanks to the Lord with the lyre;    make melody to him with the harp of ten strings!3 Sing to him a new song;    play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts.4 For the word of the Lord is upright,    and all his work is done in faithfulness.5 He loves righteousness and justice;    the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord.6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were made,    and by the breath of his mouth all their host.7 He gathers the waters of the sea as a heap;    he puts the deeps in storehouses.8 Let all the earth fear the Lord;    let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him!9 For he spoke, and it came to be;    he commanded, and it stood firm.10 The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nothing;    he frustrates the plans of the peoples.11 The counsel of the Lord stands forever,    the plans of his heart to all generations.12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,    the people whom he has chosen as his heritage!13 The Lord looks down from heaven;    he sees all the children of man;14 from where he sits enthroned he looks out    on all the inhabitants of the earth,15 he who fashions the hearts of them all    and observes all their deeds.16 The king is not saved by his great army;    a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.17 The war horse is a false hope for salvation,    and by its great might it cannot rescue.18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him,    on those who hope in his steadfast love,19 that he may deliver their soul from death    and keep them alive in famine.20 Our soul waits for the Lord;    he is our help and our shield.21 For our heart is glad in him,    because we trust in his holy name.22 Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us,    even as we hope in you.+++For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

Blessed Are the ForgivenA Maskil[a] of David.32 Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven,    whose sin is covered.2 Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity,    and in whose spirit there is no deceit.3 For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away    through my groaning all day long.4 For day and night your hand was heavy upon me;    my strength was dried up[b] as by the heat of summer. Selah5 I acknowledged my sin to you,    and I did not cover my iniquity;I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”    and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah6 Therefore let everyone who is godly    offer prayer to you at a time when you may be found;surely in the rush of great waters,    they shall not reach him.7 You are a hiding place for me;    you preserve me from trouble;    you surround me with shouts of deliverance. Selah8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go;    I will counsel you with my eye upon you.9 Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding,    which must be curbed with bit and bridle,    or it will not stay near you.10 Many are the sorrows of the wicked,    but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the Lord.11 Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous,    and shout for joy, all you upright in heart!+++For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

Are prevention-focused labs and early screening actually catching disease before conventional medicine would, and is anyone doing enough of it? In this episode, Amber Warren, PA-C is joined by Michael Orloff, PA-C, a board-certified physician assistant who spent over a decade in emergency and trauma medicine before transitioning to functional medicine, to explore how cardiometabolic testing, early cancer screening, and lifestyle-first care can help patients stay out of the healthcare system altogether. Mike shares what he's seeing after his first year at FMI, coming from years of treating end-stage disease in the ER, and breaks down why he focuses on ApoB and lipoprotein(a) instead of relying on standard cholesterol panels alone, how zone-based training and lactate threshold testing let him build truly individualized cardiovascular prescriptions, and why insulin sensitivity sits at the center of long-term metabolic health. He also discusses why cancer screening guidelines often lag behind what he sees clinically, why radon exposure is an overlooked cancer risk in the Treasure Valley, and how simple, low-effort movement, like walking after meals, can meaningfully shift blood sugar and body composition. Whether you're trying to make sense of your cholesterol labs, curious about CGMs, thinking about weight loss, or just want a clearer picture of what proactive, data-driven prevention actually looks like, this episode offers practical insight from someone treating these issues every day. In this episode, you'll learn: How ApoB and lipoprotein(a) provide a more complete cardiovascular risk picture than LDL alone How zone two training, lactate threshold, and VO2 max testing personalize exercise prescriptions Why insulin sensitivity is central to cardiometabolic and metabolic health Practical levers for sustainable weight loss: dietary restriction, meal timing, and portion control How a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) reveals real-time, individualized blood sugar patterns Why early cancer screening, including colonoscopies, PSA, and CA-125, may need to start earlier than conventional guidelines suggest How environmental factors like radon exposure raise cancer risk in the Treasure Valley Why time, not motivation, is often the biggest barrier to aging well, and how to work around it Stay tuned for more conversations on functional medicine, cardiometabolic health, cancer prevention, longevity, and optimizing your health from the inside out!

Joy Comes with the MorningA Psalm of David. A song at the dedication of the temple.30 I will extol you, O Lord, for you have drawn me up    and have not let my foes rejoice over me.2 O Lord my God, I cried to you for help,    and you have healed me.3 O Lord, you have brought up my soul from Sheol;    you restored me to life from among those who go down to the pit.[a]4 Sing praises to the Lord, O you his saints,    and give thanks to his holy name.[b]5 For his anger is but for a moment,    and his favor is for a lifetime.[c]Weeping may tarry for the night,    but joy comes with the morning.6 As for me, I said in my prosperity,    “I shall never be moved.”7 By your favor, O Lord,    you made my mountain stand strong;you hid your face;    I was dismayed.8 To you, O Lord, I cry,    and to the Lord I plead for mercy:9 “What profit is there in my death,[d]    if I go down to the pit?[e]Will the dust praise you?    Will it tell of your faithfulness?10 Hear, O Lord, and be merciful to me!    O Lord, be my helper!”11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;    you have loosed my sackcloth    and clothed me with gladness,12 that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent.    O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!+++For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

The Lord Is My Light and My SalvationOf David.27 The Lord is my light and my salvation;    whom shall I fear?The Lord is the stronghold[a] of my life;    of whom shall I be afraid?2 When evildoers assail me    to eat up my flesh,my adversaries and foes,    it is they who stumble and fall.3 Though an army encamp against me,    my heart shall not fear;though war arise against me,    yet[b] I will be confident.4 One thing have I asked of the Lord,    that will I seek after:that I may dwell in the house of the Lord    all the days of my life,to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord    and to inquire[c] in his temple.5 For he will hide me in his shelter    in the day of trouble;he will conceal me under the cover of his tent;    he will lift me high upon a rock.6 And now my head shall be lifted up    above my enemies all around me,and I will offer in his tent    sacrifices with shouts of joy;I will sing and make melody to the Lord.7 Hear, O Lord, when I cry aloud;    be gracious to me and answer me!8 You have said, “Seek[d] my face.”My heart says to you,    “Your face, Lord, do I seek.”[e]9     Hide not your face from me.Turn not your servant away in anger,    O you who have been my help.Cast me not off; forsake me not,    O God of my salvation!10 For my father and my mother have forsaken me,    but the Lord will take me in.11 Teach me your way, O Lord,    and lead me on a level path    because of my enemies.12 Give me not up to the will of my adversaries;    for false witnesses have risen against me,    and they breathe out violence.13 I believe that I shall look[f] upon the goodness of the Lord    in the land of the living!14 Wait for the Lord;    be strong, and let your heart take courage;    wait for the Lord!+++For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

Why Have You Forsaken Me?To the choirmaster: according to The Doe of the Dawn. A Psalm of David.22 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?    Why are you so far from saving me, from the words of my groaning?2 O my God, I cry by day, but you do not answer,    and by night, but I find no rest.3 Yet you are holy,    enthroned on the praises[a] of Israel.4 In you our fathers trusted;    they trusted, and you delivered them.5 To you they cried and were rescued;    in you they trusted and were not put to shame.6 But I am a worm and not a man,    scorned by mankind and despised by the people.7 All who see me mock me;    they make mouths at me; they wag their heads;8 “He trusts in the Lord; let him deliver him;    let him rescue him, for he delights in him!”9 Yet you are he who took me from the womb;    you made me trust you at my mother's breasts.10 On you was I cast from my birth,    and from my mother's womb you have been my God.11 Be not far from me,    for trouble is near,    and there is none to help.12 Many bulls encompass me;    strong bulls of Bashan surround me;13 they open wide their mouths at me,    like a ravening and roaring lion.14 I am poured out like water,    and all my bones are out of joint;my heart is like wax;    it is melted within my breast;15 my strength is dried up like a potsherd,    and my tongue sticks to my jaws;    you lay me in the dust of death.16 For dogs encompass me;    a company of evildoers encircles me;they have pierced my hands and feet[b]—17 I can count all my bones—they stare and gloat over me;18 they divide my garments among them,    and for my clothing they cast lots.19 But you, O Lord, do not be far off!    O you my help, come quickly to my aid!20 Deliver my soul from the sword,    my precious life from the power of the dog!21     Save me from the mouth of the lion!You have rescued[c] me from the horns of the wild oxen!22 I will tell of your name to my brothers;    in the midst of the congregation I will praise you:23 You who fear the Lord, praise him!    All you offspring of Jacob, glorify him,    and stand in awe of him, all you offspring of Israel!24 For he has not despised or abhorred    the affliction of the afflicted,and he has not hidden his face from him,    but has heard, when he cried to him.25 From you comes my praise in the great congregation;    my vows I will perform before those who fear him.26 The afflicted[d] shall eat and be satisfied;    those who seek him shall praise the Lord!    May your hearts live forever!27 All the ends of the earth shall remember    and turn to the Lord,and all the families of the nations    shall worship before you.28 For kingship belongs to the Lord,    and he rules over the nations.29 All the prosperous of the earth eat and worship;    before him shall bow all who go down to the dust,    even the one who could not keep himself alive.30 Posterity shall serve him;    it shall be told of the Lord to the coming generation;31 they shall come and proclaim his righteousness to a people yet unborn,    that he has done it.+++For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

The Law of the Lord Is PerfectTo the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.19 The heavens declare the glory of God,    and the sky above[a] proclaims his handiwork.2 Day to day pours out speech,    and night to night reveals knowledge.3 There is no speech, nor are there words,    whose voice is not heard.4 Their voice[b] goes out through all the earth,    and their words to the end of the world.In them he has set a tent for the sun,5     which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber,    and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy.6 Its rising is from the end of the heavens,    and its circuit to the end of them,    and there is nothing hidden from its heat.7 The law of the Lord is perfect,[c]    reviving the soul;the testimony of the Lord is sure,    making wise the simple;8 the precepts of the Lord are right,    rejoicing the heart;the commandment of the Lord is pure,    enlightening the eyes;9 the fear of the Lord is clean,    enduring forever;the rules[d] of the Lord are true,    and righteous altogether.10 More to be desired are they than gold,    even much fine gold;sweeter also than honey    and drippings of the honeycomb.11 Moreover, by them is your servant warned;    in keeping them there is great reward.12 Who can discern his errors?    Declare me innocent from hidden faults.13 Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins;    let them not have dominion over me!Then I shall be blameless,    and innocent of great transgression.14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart    be acceptable in your sight,    O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.+++For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

You Will Not Abandon My SoulA Miktam[a] of David.16 Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.2 I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord;    I have no good apart from you.”3 As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones,    in whom is all my delight.[b]4 The sorrows of those who run after[c] another god shall multiply;    their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out    or take their names on my lips.5 The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup;    you hold my lot.6 The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;    indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.7 I bless the Lord who gives me counsel;    in the night also my heart instructs me.[d]8 I have set the Lord always before me;    because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being[e] rejoices;    my flesh also dwells secure.10 For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol,    or let your holy one see corruption.[f]11 You make known to me the path of life;    in your presence there is fullness of joy;    at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.+++For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

The Reign of the Lord's Anointed2 Why do the nations rage[a]    and the peoples plot in vain?2 The kings of the earth set themselves,    and the rulers take counsel together,    against the Lord and against his Anointed, saying,3 “Let us burst their bonds apart    and cast away their cords from us.”4 He who sits in the heavens laughs;    the Lord holds them in derision.5 Then he will speak to them in his wrath,    and terrify them in his fury, saying,6 “As for me, I have set my King    on Zion, my holy hill.”7 I will tell of the decree:The Lord said to me, “You are my Son;    today I have begotten you.8 Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage,    and the ends of the earth your possession.9 You shall break[b] them with a rod of iron    and dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.”10 Now therefore, O kings, be wise;    be warned, O rulers of the earth.11 Serve the Lord with fear,    and rejoice with trembling.12 Kiss the Son,    lest he be angry, and you perish in the way,    for his wrath is quickly kindled.Blessed are all who take refuge in him.+++For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

The Way of the Righteous and the Wicked1 Blessed is the man[a]    who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,nor stands in the way of sinners,    nor sits in the seat of scoffers;2 but his delight is in the law[b] of the Lord,    and on his law he meditates day and night.3 He is like a tree    planted by streams of waterthat yields its fruit in its season,    and its leaf does not wither.In all that he does, he prospers.4 The wicked are not so,    but are like chaff that the wind drives away.5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,    nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous;6 for the Lord knows the way of the righteous,    but the way of the wicked will perish.+++For more information about this group, please visit their website at reformationboise.com.

Athletes train their bodies every day, but how often do they train their minds? In this episode of The Gametime Guru Podcast, I sit down with Tyra Rickman, former collegiate basketball player, counselor, coach, and founder of Rickman Health and Wellness, to talk about one of the most important topics in sports today: athlete mental health. Tyra played college basketball at the College of Idaho, coached high school athletes here in the Treasure Valley, and now works directly with athletes on the mental health side of performance. In this conversation, we talk about the pressure young athletes face, the transition from high school to college sports, athletic identity, anxiety, depression, confidence, emotional regulation, and the tools athletes need to handle life both on and off the court. One of the biggest themes in this episode is identity. So many athletes define themselves only by the sport they play. But what happens when they get injured? What happens when they do not play as much as they expected? What happens when the season ends, the jersey comes off, or life hits hard? Tyra explains why athletes need to understand who they are outside of sports and how that foundation can help them build real confidence, resilience, and emotional strength. We also talk about practical mental skills athletes can use, including daily check-ins, learning how to name emotions, understanding where stress shows up in the body, building a mental health plan, and treating the mental game the same way athletes treat physical training. This episode is not just for athletes. It is also for parents, coaches, trainers, counselors, and anyone who works with young competitors. Tyra shares great insight on how coaches can better support their players, why listening matters, how to help athletes compartmentalize emotions, and why coaches also need to take care of their own mental health during the season. In this episode, we discuss: Why athlete mental health matters The pressure young athletes face today How athletic identity affects confidence The transition from high school sports to college athletics Why athletes need to know who they are outside of their sport Anxiety, depression, and emotional regulation in athletes How to build mental skills the same way you build physical skills Why daily check-ins can help athletes manage stress How coaches can better support athletes as humans Why coaches need mental health tools too The importance of creating a plan for mental performance How Rickman Health and Wellness supports athletes and teams Tyra also shares how she works with athletes through Rickman Health and Wellness, including mental health programs, athlete-focused support, team talks, and virtual options for athletes outside of Idaho.
