Beyond the Break

Chris Bocklet was at the top of the lacrosse world — a national champion at UVA and a pro player known for his grit and skill. As he got older and became a coach and mentor to many, everything changed after a traumatic brain injury forced him to step away from the game and reevaluate everything.

In this powerful episode, Chris opens up about the accident that nearly ended his career, the mental and emotional battle that followed, and how he found purpose again through X10 Lacrosse — a camp he now leads to help kids grow not only as players but also as individuals.

In this episode, we dive into the often-avoided conversation around men’s health: why strength isn’t just about lifting weights, and mental toughness isn’t the same as silence. Taylor opens up about his own journey prioritizing wellness, not just for himself, but for his family. How you show up at home, as a father, partner, or son, starts with how you take care of yourself. We often talk about success in terms of work, money, or status, but without physical and mental health, none of it holds true.

In this powerful episode, we sit down with a former U.S. Army Ranger who's taken the grit, discipline, and leadership forged in combat and brought it to the world of business. From high-stakes missions to high-pressure boardrooms, he shares how the principles of special operations translate to entrepreneurship, decision-making, and leading teams in fast-paced industries.
