Sara Hendershot played many sports growing up and tried rowing at Simsbury High School, where she was immediately hooked. She was recruited to row at Princeton University where her collegiate career peaked during her senior season when she was named Captain of the team, rowed an undefeated dual season, a 3rd place finish at NCAAs, and was named First Team All-America. Upon graduation, Sara turned down an offer on Wall Street to continue rowing at the elite level. Fourth place finish in the 2012 Olympic Games in the Women's Pair. Following London, Sara committed to training for another Olympic Cycle, but unfortunately was plagued with injury for almost two years. After recovering from injury, Sara shifted focus to staying competitive while helping others succeed at rowing, and she currently runs an elite rowing coaching program with her husband called Rowfficient in Boston. She is also a Senior Account Manager at SMACK! Media.

KeyWords: Productivity, Getting Things Done, David Allen, Self-Improvement, GTD So stoked on this episode! Organization is a huge passion for Molly, and she has been completely obsessed since she waswas a little kid with streamlining every aspect of life. It is hard to fit training in. We know that from talking to athletes at our talks, from Peter's coaching clients and from trying to do it all ourselves! Here on the Consummate Athlete we want to get good at multiple sports but it is hard to balance training for one sport let alone a bunch, especially with all of the other responsibilities and of tasks that need to be done. But health, fitness, fun and adventure can and should be a priority, and today we're talking about how to bring that concept to life in a real, tangible way. Molly did an article with today's guest about sneaking in a morning workout recently and knew she would be perfect for the podcast. Today she speaks to us about fitness and becoming the consummate athlete as a busy person. So, generally, I'm hoping you'd be up for doing an episode with us on how busy people can prioritize fitness, and develop good habits around exercise (as per the GTD method!).

KeyWords: Car Racing, Automotive, Cars, Driving, Driver, G-Force, Motor Sport, MTB Nascar Driver Erik Jones joins us today to tell us how you (or your kids) get into Nascar, how to watch Nascar, the training that goes into nascar (which transfers to many other sports) and what it takes to win. If you have interest in going fast, be prepared for a challenge/course you can't ride indefinately or just want to have a passing understanding of key terms in Nascar and car racing generally, you will love this episode.

KEYWORDS Movement, Non-Exercise Movement, Walking, Minimalism, stacking, Nutritious Movement

Today we are very fortunate to have Katy Bowman on the podcast. Katy is a biomechanist, with emphasis on the BIO because rather than looking only at isolated join angles Katy has specialized in looking at how our movement, or lack thereof, influences all parts of our lives as well as our families, communities and the environment Katy's work suggests we can, and should, be careful allowing technology the chance to remove all labor from our days. She has written numerous articles, 5 books and recorded multiple podcasts on her concept, nutritious movement. Katy's latest book Movement Matters is available on Amazon now and it is a fantastic read that nudges you to get moving and provides many examples of why your movement throughout the day matters whether you are an athlete, a parent or struggling to find health.

Mindfulness, Krav Maga, Self-Defense, Martial Arts, Combat Sports, MMA

Today we are excited to step into a new area of sport and movement with Krav Maga. Essentially Krav Maga is a self-defence method that is different from 'martial arts' in that there are no rules or competitions. It is focused on self-defence and, interestingly, on being aware and present in the moment to avoid risky situations. Peter was apprehensive with violence but came away really excited about the ideas Dan shared today. We hope you enjoy this episode!

Power Lifting, Strength Training, Cross Training, Weight Lifting

Multi-time Power-Lifting champion of the USA and the World Robert Herbst joins us today to share his knowledge of the sport. Robert has been coaching athletes ranging from beginner thru elites for years and has seen how the practice of power lifting can help athletes become capable in many disciplines.

Today we take another look at Golf. With the mental and very precise nature of golf we felt that talking to another Golf-Pro was worth while. We were very happy with the additional concepts Shana brought to the show today.

We talked about drills to help with hitting the ball, mindset in golf, picking a good starting course, setting your practice duration and several other topics that will be usable in many (if not all) sports/skills.
