Michael Breed is one of the best people in the Golf Instruction world, well in my opinion he is. He's one of many people who have inspired me to be a better instructor, coach, and professional. In this episode I share a couple of thoughts on what I have learned from him since he first came on the scene in 2009.

He is an awesome professional and I can't thank him enough for everything he has done for the golf business.

Did you miss me? After a long delay and many different thoughts about doing this I'm back in your ear buds. No I'm not bringing back the Coach Brad Podcast. Instead I have a totally new show.

Fore Right Radio is going will have less of me talking more cool kick #@% guests who have really cool stories to share, and more opinions and rants about well what ever is going on.

Enjoy the intro I rant a little bit about the aftermath about Patrick Reed winning at the end of this episode. Spoiler alert, I'm a fan of his!

Cam Cox is going places. You heard it here first. He is currently one of the Assistant Professionals at Ovinbyrd Golf Club in Muskoka Ontario. He is a leader and a trend setter for the next generation on PGA of Canada Professionals and a really great kid as well.

If Gary Vee was a Canadian guy from Windsor Ryan Robillard would be him. He is one of the hardest working golf professionals in Ontario, and he loves social media almost as much as I do.

I'll be honest. When it comes to golf pro's Casey Ward might be on of my favourite people. On this episode Casey and I get into biomechanics, here story of how she got into the business, and also what her goals for her career are. Plus of course we have a few laughs along the way.

A golf pro, a patriot, a long drive competitor, a lunatic. You can call Michael Michaelides many different things but one thing you can't deny the man is passionate!

Michael is a the Men's Head Coach at Long Island University in New York. He's also competed on the big break, and worked at some amazing courses. In these two episodes Michael and I discuss the golf industry and he shares parts about how he has gotten to where he is today.

Mental Health effects 1 in 5 Canadians. That's right 1 in 5! Or roughly 20% of us in. That does not included that are hurt by those suffering from it. That why it is so important to talk about this subject. Bell Let's Talk day is an initiative that was started a few years back to help end the stigma surrounding this.

I am not an mental health expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I am one of the people that has seen how it effects those close to myself. Because of that I am present to you a special 3 part special edition of The Coach Brad Podcast talking about this very subject.

In part 3 I share some of my own story about mental health and some down times I've dealt with in the past year. I also ramble on about of ton of other stuff. Honestly like most episodes I ramble about all kinds of stuff. I also am happy to say that this three part series has been fun, and The Coach Brad podcast will be back again at some point in time this year.

In this episode I talk about my 3 favourite things I like to do to help when I am feeling down. This is not for everyone and I know feeling down is different then seriously being depressed or suffering in silence. But they help me and hopefully someone who listens to this might help them and it makes their day a little better.

Here are my top 3 things:

1) Exercise - Yah you've heard it before I'm sure go to the gym, go for a walk do something it helps release endorphins that helps change your mood. I can tell you from experience that it really does help lift your mood. For myself personally the key word in that sentence is LIFT. Lift some heavy weights to me nothing makes me feel better than when it's rack pull, or squat time because it makes me feel good.

2) Music - Once again you have probably heard this before but nothing can change your mood quicker than a song. Sometimes you just need to relax and listen to something to try to get out of your own head. One song Jason Glass introduced me to on his podcast was Shake it baby by David Wilcox. Give it a listen and try not to smile after you hear it.

3) TALK - It's called Bell Let's Talk day for a reason. Don't be afraid to hide it, don't be afraid to open up to someone. I am lucky that I have some people in my life that I can message and talk to them about what's going on in my life at anytime. They don't judge me I don't judge them and it's great to have someone like that. We all need that. If you don't have someone then message myself I'll always listen.

That's it for my top 3. Next week I am going to talk a little bit more about Teenagers and what it's like for them in this world with the amount of stress school brings them, plus pressure from peers and home.

Until next time thank you for the listens and always shoot for the moon, if you miss your still a star!
