Built Different | Week 9 Recap, Playoff Push & The Culture of Winning | EP. 21


Listen Later

In Episode 21 of New Wave Certified, John Larkin closes out the Iowa high school football regular season with a full Week 9 recap and a look ahead at which local teams are heading into the playoffs. From standout performances to clutch moments, John breaks down what separates good programs from great ones — and how that same mindset drives success at New Wave Performance.


This week, John takes a deep dive into the culture behind New Wave — where being a winner and a leader doesn’t start under the lights, but in the unseen hours of hard work, recovery, and preparation. He shares how those who embrace the “extra” behind the scenes are the ones who rise above the rest.


To wrap up, John shines a spotlight on his college athletes, some of whom are earning scholarships and significant playing time at the next level. Their success stories prove what happens when you commit to the grind and trust the process.


It’s the end of the regular season — but for true competitors, it’s just the beginning. Tap in for motivation, insight, and that New Wave energy. 🌊💪
