Not Messing Around.......

There is no denying that Dustin Ortiz is a force.  

Growing up in rural Tennessee where he turned wrestling into fighting in the UFC then recorded the fastest knockout in history in his weight class. It only took 15 seconds.  

What do you do as an encore? Count your whole life in 8 seconds on top of a bull by joining The Nashville Stampede PBR Series.  Dustin is not settling down anytime soon.  We talk to Dustin about the early days of MMA fighting and how a chance meeting got him on top of one of the meanest animals around.

TOO MUCH! 

Are we experiencing data overload?  

From workout to sleep to sweat volume to HRV, an athlete can measure just about everything.  Tom and Kenny talk about how data can be a great tool but also can lead to detrimental effects. 

Do you think we are in data overload?

100 pounds overweight. 

Jim Macaluso needed to do something so he started running. The weight began to fall and he recognized he had success by making goals for himself. One day he decided to join a group of runners on a quest to see how many days they can run consecutively. Fast forward three years later and Jim has run over 1200 days in a row without fail. 

Tom and I sat down with Jim to talk about his amazing journey, how he maintains his resolve, and what others can do to just get moving (hint: throw away excuses!).

Triathlon faced a tough past couple of years with a pandemic and lower than expected turnout.  We spoke with newly appointed CEO Victoria Brumfield about those challenges, how she came to the sport, and what is needed to ensure that triathlon continues to grow.  Needless to say that USAT is fantastic hands with her drive, enthusiasm, and focus. 

An absolute pleasure to have her on the show!

We are back for another great year and adding some more material to our channel.

In addition to our great guest conversations, Kenny and Tom are adding what we call our "Sprint Shows" - shorter single subject conversations with just the two of us. This episode is the first of these where we tackle the hot topic of Kona and the Ironman World Championship.

We also have a new home for our in-person conversations at The Coffee House at Second & Bridge here in Downtown Franklin!

Let us know what you think!

Just as Emily Cole was preparing for her state high school cross country meet, she fell into a coma instead.  Emily suffered a condition as a result of too little salt which shut down her body.  

Now a Duke All American athlete, Emily joins us to talk about her new book that covers her journey back to wellness and how traditional tropes about nutrition could actually be harmful.

Sleep has traditionally been something that we all wish we had more of but does it affect athletic performance? 

The simple answer is yes!

Dr. Chris Winter has been studying how sleep affects athletic performance, so much so that he wrote a book about it! Dr. Winter sits down with us to talk about the studies he’s done correlating sleep with performance across a variety of sports, including NHL and MLB.  Ben Potenziano returns to our program as well to give us a perspective of how his MLB team is using this valuable information as a another tool to support his players.  This is one episode you won’t want to sleep on! (see what I did there)
