Today marks the return of podcast favorite and friend of the show, Luke Day. Luke is the Head of Strength and Conditioning for the University of South Carolina football program, and creator of Manchild Media.

In this conversation, Ross and Luke discuss; the impact of the transfer portal and high turnover in college football, and how it affects building a sustainable culture, the importance of communication, connection, and valuing players in creating a positive environment. Luke shares his perspective on effective leadership and the need to be good at your job. They also delve into the concept of 'Struggle Well' and how it applies to parenting and personal growth, the importance of exposing kids to different experiences and allowing them to experience discomfort, the role of physical challenges in developing mental toughness, and the concept of turning pain into mastery and the importance of interpreting difficult experiences.
