Listen Later

What if fitness was about more than just aesthetics? 

What if we viewed sport not just as a game, but as a transformative power in society, and training as a tool for resilience and durability? 

These are just a few of the themes and questions Kelly Starrett unpacks in this podcast.

In case you’re not familiar with Kelly, he’s a Doctor of Physical Therapy, renowned speaker, and a New York Times bestselling author, whose book Becoming a Supple Leopard made him into the biggest mobility guru in the world.

In our conversation, Kelly and I delve into . . .

- The essential role of training for more than just aesthetics and how personal experiences led him to emphasize resilience and durability

- The transformative power of sport in society and the dangers of early sports specialization in young athletes

- The often undervalued psychoemotional components of coaching and the surprising sleep disruption side-effects of COVID-19

- Debunking the sleep deprivation myth in successful people and advocating for a shift towards whole foods for improved performance and health

- The vital importance of communal eating in fostering unity and its profound influence on team culture

- The practicality and scalability of fitness practices, with a focus on creating daily routines that improve overall well-being

- The alarming decline in outdoor activities among children and the potential health hazards of this trend

- And more . . .

So, if you're ready to elevate your health, durability, and longevity, don't miss this conversation with Kelly Starrett!
