This is my interview with Coach Marty Wolner youth sports coach, referee, and Brain Strength/Peak Performance specialist. Coach Marty and I take a brief look at how sports can help improve the brain health of athletes who have experienced mental trauma. Everyone knows the importance of the mental aspect of playing sports at the youth level, but the benefits can go beyond, developing discipline, mental toughness, confidence, etc. The subject of mental health in athletics is not normally discussed in a way where sports are used to improve the mental health of athletes, but as you listen to this discussion and my own anecdotal evidence from my years as player and coach sports can be essential in helping youth athletes heal the brain after trauma.

In the bonus episode, I talk about Time and the way we view the time we have. We all tend to take time for granted with no regard for how to manage our time. Everyone (including myself) needs to develop the discipline to invest the time we have available rather than just "spending" it recklessly. 

This is my interview with Charlie Rolnec one of my student-athletes that I have trained over the last 4 and a half years here at Atlas Pro Training here in Orlando Florida. We talk about his experiences during the recurring process where Charlie was recruit by Cornell, Brown, Columbia, Navy, and Army. Charlie talks about the recruiting process and the work that is required to make his dreams of playing college football a reality, and how he chose Army over Navy to continue his career playing D1 football! Charlie also talks about placing third in the state of Florida (and only missing the top spot by a few feet) and breaking the school record throwing the Shotput for Bishop Moore High School this past Spring after over a year off due to track season being canceled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 quarantine. Charlie's story is one of hard work and determination to succeed at a high level. I hope you enjoy listening as much I enjoyed doing this interview!

This is my interview with one of the up-and-coming health and performance influencers former First Team All-SEC linebacker from the University of Alabama Marvin Constant.

HEY! I am back! It's been a few weeks, the last few months have been a time of transition and I had the chance to do some soul searching after the loss of my mother. In today's episode, I am talking about how Your Motivation is BullShit, or more clearly F@#K you motivation. 

This episode was inspired by a conversation earlier this week and a blog that a published on the Atlas Website (click the link to check it out) Call YOU CANT BE SOFT YOUR WHOLE LIFE. 

BE CONSISTENT NOT MOTIVATED!

In this GAMEREADY episode, we talk to Anthony Fieldings of Next Level Football training in Apopka Florida. Anthony is a great friend of mine and one of my teammates from the World League. Anthony has over 3 decades of experience at every level of football, he was on Super Bowl teams for the Buffalo Bills and the Dallas Cowboys in the 1990s. 

Anthony has deep roots in the community here in Central Florida and has a great number of student-athletes including his son Anthony (who is attending Georgia Southern University) he has trained to play D1 football at this time, and countless other student-athletes to follow. Anthony and I are going to look at how the College recruiting landscape has changed, and Anthony is going to give you valuable tips on how to navigate the process.

If your student-athlete has aspirations of playing college sports, or if you and your student-athlete that is already involved in the recruiting process, there are some key points that you need to know about in order for you and your student-athlete to navigate the recruiting process successfully and play at the college level. This is the first of several series discussing this subject, so grab a pin and notebook and listen up.
