GOLF, complimentary sports, skill-transfer

Jack Sasseville joins us to share first steps to get out golfing. We go over tips , common mistakes, how to hit the ball , how to use driving-ranges and key terms/rules of the sport.

Even if you think golf isn't for you there is lots of discussion of transfer of skill and related concepts for different sports. There is also a chance you will want to go golfing after (this happened to us!)

Learn why yoga, or some form of movement training and mobility practice is something you might want to do. Erin is the author of HIT RESET and this week she shares her view on how to do yoga and why you might want to consider it as part of your moment routine. Both yoga-goers and yoga-avoiders will find utility in this episode

Running, RPE, Mental Tactics, Beet Juice

Several awesome conversations today with Kyle Boorsma. We talk about Hist running experience as an elite, as a coach and as a researcher looking at Beet-Root Juice. Several other discussions about his transitions to cycling from running and really useful and thought provoking back and forth on RPE (perceived exertion) and finding that 'OH SHIT' moment in the middle of a race as a GOOD thing. Hope you like it!
