Keyon Dooling is a Florida boy whose community supported him through adolescence and into adulthood when he ventured to the Midwest for college. Ultimately his successful 13-year NBA career came to an end as he began confronting his struggles with PTSD. Today he’s a mental health advocate raising awareness in society, but also on a deeper level advocating for the mental health of collegiate athletes.
A veteran of the profession, Duane Carlisle is a long-time coach, expert, and mentor to many. From the private sector to the public (and back again), middle schoolers to professionals, Coach Duane Carlisle has seen and trained it all. In this episode, he offers his perspectives on coaching the person, how a high-performance model should work, and the business savvy side of coaching.
As my Yoda of all things mental, Dr. and Coach Rick McGuire joins us for this week’s episode. Long time track & field coach and a pioneer in the sport psychology field, he brings a perspective unlike any other. With the understanding that kids meet sport through the coach, Coach McGuire fully supports the comprehensive, integrated performance model which thrives on communication between professionals for the benefit of the athlete.
Professor of kinesiology and sports science, Dr. Bryan Mann teaches us about his specialty, Velocity Based Training (VBT). From being a “poor white boy from backwoods Oklahoma” to how he became an expert, Bryan takes us through his journey of becoming a strength coach and an academic. We also “geeked out” a bit on his VBT talking numbers and training methods.
Chase describes how growing up in a Christian household with many opportunities for success helped develop his leadership, both vocally and by example. He learned at an early age leadership is earned, not given and is blessed to have been put in so many opportunities to exercise and improve his leadership skills.
Going undrafted in the 2009 NFL draft was his first encounter with adversity, causing him to reevaluate his goals. Chase began taking one day at a time and learned to capitalize on each opportunity to get better, including learning what real hard work meant from none other than Drew Brees. He finds renewed energy when demonstrating his ability to handle adversity.
We got insights from the vet on NFL prospect Kyler Murray, as well as current NFL phenom, Patrick Mahomes II. In addition, Chase weighed in on how the requirements for QBs have changed over time, specifically the height requirement myth has been debunked.
Among the things that have made Chase most successful are his relationships with coaches, which he values immensely, and his life outside of football. He feels more balanced than ever with a clear sense or purpose, both on and off the field.
