Join me on this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast as I sit down with the electric Chaunté Lowe! From Olympic high jumper to motivational speaker, Chaunté's journey is a testament to resilience, integrity, and the power of a positive mindset. Chaunté reflects on her progression in athletics, from earning a retroactive Olympic bronze to becoming a world champion. With deep-rooted values of hard work and preparation, she offers insights that parallel our own themes of hope and positivity. Her ability to relate her Olympic journey to helping people find their own “Olympics” in life is truly inspiring. Her childhood in Riverside, California, underscored by poverty and domestic violence, shaped her resilience and commitment to breaking the cycle through education and mentorship.  This episode is brimming with heartfelt stories, valuable insights, and Chaunté's undeniable spirit!   About Chaunté, Chaunté Lowe is the story of determination perseverance and strength.  Not only is Lowe a mother of 3, a wife and a finance professional; she is also a professional athlete, an American Record Holder, a 4-time Olympian, a 3-Time World Championship medalist, and 12 times US National Champion. When speaking she is true to how she performs. She is animated, entertaining and humorous. She dances and plays to the crowd as she shares her stories of beating impossible odds, time and time again. She possesses the ability to keep the group engaged and hanging on her every word or jump. Those who get a chance to encounter her leave inspired and motivated. Her infectious personality is electrifying.  You can't help but leave an interaction with her with a winning, "I can do ANYTHING" attitude. Lowe was able to realize her childhood dream of going to the Olympics at only 20-years-old, making her the first woman from Georgia Tech's track and field team to become an Olympian.  The following year, Lowe won silver at the 2005 World Championships to become the first American woman to win a world outdoor championships high jump medal since Louise Ritter won bronze at the inaugural event in Helsinki in 1983. Lowe is always a crowd favorite with impossibly defined abs, dramatic dance moves, and even the occasional backflip. Lowe graduated from Georgia Tech with a degree in economics. In 2008 she represented her country again in the high jump at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Days after returning from the 2012 Olympic Games, started teaching trigonometry at Grayson High School in Atlanta. Married triple jumper Mario Lowe on August 21, 2005, and gave birth to daughter Jasmine in July 2007 and Aurora in April 2011 and Mario Josiah in 2013.  Lowe has broken the American Record 3 Times and is the current indoor and outdoor American Record holder with 2.02m (6'-7.5”) and 2.05 (6'8.75”) meters respectively. In addition to her Olympic Games appearances, she has represented the United States on six world championship teams. The story is not over; she most recently represented the US in her fourth Olympic Games in the summer of 2016 and is showing no signs of stopping any time soon.

Elite climber Sasha DiGiulian shares her struggles and breakthroughs in Training, Nutrition, Tactics, and Mental Game - Sasha is one of the most accomplished climbers in the world. She has been Female Overall World Champion twice, the undefeated Pan-American Champion for a 10-year span, and 3-time US National Champion. Sasha was just the third woman in the World to climb the grade 9a (5.14d), and she has more than 30 First Ascents and First Female Ascents to her name. Some of her sport FFAs include 14d/9a Era Vella in Spain, 14c/8c+ Southern Smoke and Pure Imagination at the Red River Gorge, and she has onsighted multiple 5.14a / 8b+ routes. She is the first woman to free the north face of the Eiger by way of Magic Mushroom, a technical 2,000 foot climb; she was the first woman to free Bella Vista, a big wall in the Dolomites with difficulty up to 5.14b / 8c; and Sasha was the first woman and only the second human to free the Trilogy in the Canadian Rockies - three separate climbs that feature 5.14 pitches and total 9000 vertical feet. With all of those groundbreaking wins one might assume things come easy for Sasha but let me assure you that she is no stranger to struggle. Just a couple years ago Sasha underwent double hip surgery where doctors cut through muscle and bone to such an extreme she had to learn how to walk again… and that's just one example of many struggles that we explore in our chat. Sasha is as dedicated as they come, both on and off the wall, and is a tireless voice for climbing access, women's rights, and the environment.  - CHAPTERS: Struggle: 0:16:20 Training: 0:19:23 Nutrition: 0:31:53 Tactics: 0:47:25 Mental Game: 0:56:12 Purpose: 1:07:16 - Follow along on Instagram @sashadigiulian and @thestruggleclimbingshow - BIG THANKS TO THE AMAZING SPONSORS OF THE STRUGGLE: PhysiVantage: the official climbing-nutrition sponsor of The Struggle.

Welcome to another captivating episode on The Coach Podcast! In this episode, we dive into the realm of mastery, flow state, and equanimity with an extraordinary guest. Join us as we sit down with Bob Litwin, a renowned performance coach whose impressive achievements span from being a three-time tennis World Champion to ranking #1 in the world in senior tennis. In this enlightening conversation, we explore Bob's profound insights on coaching, growth catalysts, and the transformative power of rewriting our life stories. Discover how patience, persistence, and presence play pivotal roles in coaching and personal development, and unravel the concept of equanimity as a potent tool for maintaining balance amid life's challenges. Bob's wisdom shines through as he shares the process of changing our narratives, and we delve into his unique approach to coaching that centers on coaching the person first. Tune in to glean from Bob's wealth of experience, and be prepared to embark on a journey towards living your best story. This is an episode you won't want to miss! Here is a summary of the key points; 1.58: Worst coaching moment: Coaches remember that we work for the client, not the other way around. Listen to what they really want and who they want to be. Our job is to draw out of people who they aspire to be. 6.48: Best coaching moment: People come to coaching with an idea for what they want to work on but quite often this is the catalyst for growth. For example; "I want to wake up every morning of my life joyfully." 10.35: When do we need to stay patient and pull back with our clients? We move at the tempo of nature - patient yet very dynamic! Book recommendation: Tuesdays with Morrie: An Old Man, a Young Man, and Life's Greatest Lesson by Mitch Albom 13.06: Sliding Doors: Working at a country club and realizing that there was a lack of respect. He wrote down his old story and then shifted that story to focus on the positives, for example; I'm unhappy here. It's a good job but I'm unhappy. I like to be outside in the summer. I like the fact I'm playing tennis and people are coming to me and saying that this is the best part of my week. I realized that I was teaching life skills. 21.27: What Makes a Great Coach? Patience - We need to be patient and coach patience - we need to have a level of acceptance of where we are at in order to move forward. Persistence - This is one of the qualities that Bob has trained into his 'being' that he is most proud of. "No, you can't do that" is like a call to arms. There is no "no". You have to be persistent. Presence - Being fully present in whatever you are doing. "Loving the journey" (23.51) - People are really good at loving the journey until it's bumpy and it's not working out. It's in the difficult moments, that helps us to grow. 27.05: Equanimity - Evenness of mind especially under stress. Meditation has helped Bob learn the art of equanimity. Equanimity is when you are still experiencing things coming at you (thoughts, feelings) and there are reactions but as they come at you, they just go through you as if your brain is Teflon and not Velcro. To learn more about masters in this field, follow Eckhart Tolle and Joseph Goldstein. They say that hundreds of times throughout our day we are winning and losing - and if we can stay down the middle, in a state of equanimity, the ups and downs don't affect us at all. That is where our best work lies, and it is where mastery lies. The Legend Of Bagger Vance Clip 2 Seeing The Field 36.53: Coach the person first. 37.40: Do you want to make more money? 39.20: "When people try to change me, I just get patient!" 43.36: The process for how to change your story. Step 1) Why are you calling me? (As a coach you take notes and pick up on themes). Step 2) Give the person their OLD STORY back to them about who they have been up until this moment. For example, "I'm overly emotional." About 5 or 6 things. Step 3) Now it's time to have a different story. This is the work that you may want to do. For example; "I'm a master at managing my emotional energy." Note: Before you change WHAT you are doing, you have to change WHO YOU ARE! Step 4) Pay attention to times in your day when your old story shows up. Because all of those times, you get to do a repetition of your new story (the future you). Step 5) Add an action to your new story, for example, going for a walk, or taking a breath, close your eyes, and sit quietly. Slowly your new story will become your end game. Once you change, you don't need that story anymore and you can upgrade to a new one. 49.06: When you write your new story down, you take yourself out of looping thoughts. It's a more linear experience, there is a beginning and an end. It helps to reduce ruminating. Pretend you are helping a friend with their new story. 52.44: What are your thoughts on WINNING? Winning is equally as important as playing free! The Coaching Podcast is sponsored by The Sampson Agency - a talent entertainment and sports management company owned and operated by Tina Samara.

Erin talks with tenacious rock climber Emily Harrington. Emily fell in love with rock climbing when she was a child and has never looked back (or down!). She's a force to be reckoned with on the cliffs and is five-time US National Champion in sport lead climbing. But when rock climbing is your job it can be hard to associate exercising with leisure time. Enter running. Emily loves running as a way of switching her perspective from a competitive one to a more meditative one and is here to teach us how to do the same. Emily regularly uploads her outdoor exploits, including walks with her new son, on Strava, the largest community of active people.

Val continues to expand his talents as a dancer, choreographer, and in addition to co-founding Dance With Me Studios, one of the nation's leading Latin and Ballroom Dance Studios where he also lends his experience as the venue's art director. He has also developed Dance with Me Juniors, a program designed to help keep kids healthy, focused, and active in their communities.    Val gives insight to why he isn't worried about the trophies, the different career paths within the dance industry, how social media is a new platform for dancers to be discovered, how his parents exposed him to the best dancers in the competitive dance world, and keeping optimism with every partner he has. Val also reveals the first time he competed against Mark Ballas, how his first season on DWTS taught him to expand his understanding of the dance world, the impact the pandemic has had on him, how Dancing with the Stars did after going to Disney Plus, and wanting to see his peers succeed. Does he plan to go back to competitive dancing beyond Dancing with the Stars? How did he do his first season of Dancing with the Stars? How many dance studios does he have? Does he talk to his peers about what they make?    Val reveals all that and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!   Please note that this episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

This milestone is reached as the non-profit approaches its 94th anniversary in January.   Kyle Coon and Hugh“How amazing it is to pair Kyle with Hugh, to help guide him on all of the journeys that life takes them on. Just like every team that came before, their partnership was created with careful consideration, and support from countless individuals throughout the community,” said Seeing Eye President & CEO Peggi Howard. “We are so grateful for the graduates who choose our dogs, the puppy raisers and staff who lovingly care for our dogs, and all of the volunteers and donors who came together to play a part in creating 18,000 Seeing Eye partnerships over the last 94 years.”   Listen to our podcast with Kyle getting ready for the Paralympics HERE   Coon, a 31-year-old triathlete, motivational speaker and author, is a member of the U.S. Paratriathlon Resident Team in Colorado Springs.

Now I've been matched with Hugh, my third Seeing Eye Dog, and I can't begin to express how much confidence I have when we're out and about,” said Kyle Coon. “As Team USA athletes we dedicate a certain portion of our lives to being the best in our chosen sport. Hugh is dedicated to making sure we travel smoothly and safely.

Home exercise gyms was #2 for 2022 but has dropped to #13 for 2023. Fitness programs for older adults will make a comeback in 2023, breaking the top 10 at #4.   THE SURVEY Every attempt was made to replicate the survey delivery as in the past 17 years. For the 2023 survey, there were 42 possible trends. Top-rated trends from previous years were included in the survey, as were potentially emerging trends identified by the editors of this Journal. The editors represent practitioners from all four sectors of the health and fitness industry (corporate, clinical, community, commercial), as well as from academia. In the survey, potential trends were identified followed by a brief explanation to offer the respondents a few details without inconveniencing them with too much reading, analysis, or interpretation. The survey was designed to be completed in approximately 15 minutes.   This survey guides health and fitness programming efforts for 2023 and beyond. The first survey (1), conducted in 2006 (for predictions in 2007), introduced a systematic way to forecast trends. These surveys have been conducted annually since that time (2–16) using the same methodology. Because this is a survey of trends (and not fads), respondents were asked to first make an especially important distinction between a “fad” and a “trend.”   Trend: “a general development or change in a situation or in the way that people are behaving” (https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/trend).   Fad: “a style, activity, or interest that is very popular for a short period of time” (https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/fad).   Responses were received from almost every continent, including the countries of Australia, Brazil, Barbados, Canada, China, Columbia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Japan, Jordan, India, Indonesia, Italy, Kenya, Libya, Malawi, Mexico, Nigeria, Norway, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Korea, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Turkey, United Kingdom, Vietnam, and the United States, among many others.   Demographics of the survey respondents included 58% females (41% males) across a wide variability in ages (Figure 1), with 55% of all respondents having more than 10 years of industry experience (Figure 2) and 29% with more than 20 years of experience.   Video of the week: Danny MacAskill and The Drop And Roll Tour Malverns Classic "The UK's Biggest Mountain Bike Party" near Bristol. Duncan Shaw, Ali Clarkson, and Ben Travis.   Malvern's Classic infamous "lake ride" which saw competitors racing to see who could be fastest to cross a sketchy bridge of pontoons over the river with varying levels of success!   The Mersey To The Malverns! - Danny MacAskill and The Drop And Roll Tour   Closing: Thanks again for listening in this week.  Please be sure to follow us @303endurance and of course go to iTunes and give us a rating and a comment.  We'd really appreciate it! Stay tuned, train informed, and enjoy the endurance journey!
