The Highest Form of Leadership

This week we are joined by Logan Gelbrich and Danny Lesslie of Deuce Gym in sunny Venice, Italy.  I’m sorry that’s actually a typo, that’s actually going to be Venice, California. Chances are if you’ve trained at Deuce you’ve experienced the unique culture that flows through this no frills garage gym.

Danny and Logan take us through their humble beginnings all the way to current day.  Today, their success has afforded them opportunities such as the roll our of their new Coach’s Prep Course. But according to these reluctant A-listers, life isn’t just about bottle service training celebrities.  It’s mostly that, but it’s also mostly about creating a culture that drives purpose in every person who dips a toe in into the pool of  strength and conditioning.

EMPOWER YOUR PERFORMANCE.

You can follow Logan Gelbrich @FunctionalCoach or Danny Lesslie @DannyLesslie.  Do any search of Deuce Gym and you’ll easily find links to inspire and motivate you to suck less everyday.

Parenting Vs Coaching

Maybe you remember being a kid and being cut from team or perhaps your own kid is struggling with the same reality now. This week, our discussion with Olympian shot-putter, Adam Nelson begins with precisely that theme. Did his baseball coach’s candor cause Adam to give up athletics or was it the honesty he needed to fuel a different fire? His response was epic: An Olympic and World gold medal.

Recently there has been a fair amount of discussion on the show about how to navigate kids through the generalization/specialization dilemma. Nelson provides anecdotes from his upbringing which he feels led him to be successful. He also levels with listeners about being quite possibly the most frustrated spectator of children’s soccer of all time.

Not only are we grateful to have Adam Nelson back on the program but we are pumped to announce that he will be speaking at the 2017 Power Athlete Symposium in Austin, Texas. Stay tuned in to hear about his appearance and more symposium goodies.

EMPOWER YOUR PERFORMANCE.

if you haven’t already looked up TheD10.com, do it. I did not even know this competition existed but it looks badass. And the cause is close to our heart because it’s all to benefit research for pediatric cancer. If you want to find out more about Adam Nelson, follow him on IG @AdamNelson5376.

Speaking of great causes. Cancel all your plans for December 8-10 unless those plans were to attend the Power Athlete Symposium. Then rebook those plans and we will see you there. If you don’t know what the symposium is, I’ll try and sum it up in a few words. Empowering, educational, Huey Lewis and the News, hangover, Huey Lewis and the News, and Epic. Head to www.powerathletehq.com/events for a more appropriate description.

How Do I reach These keeeeeds?

We are stoked to have Jim Kielbasa back on the show to talk training kids through his years of experience and his organization, the International Youth Conditioning Association. Jim explains that his motivation for starting the program was to educate coaches on the delicate balance of working with 8-18 year olds. Coaching kids is long journey that starts with the best of intentions and as Jim explains, the coach themself is usually the reason a kid sticks with a sport or quits.

Jim provides real tools, not just lip service, on how to polish your coaching interaction with youth athletes. He also talks about his experience navigating overzealous parents and what to do when you encounter those fucked up coaches who enjoy yelling at kids because they see their own failures in them. Yeah, that’s some serious psychological shit.

EMPOWER YOUR PERFORMANCE.

Be sure and check out the IYCA at IYCA.org. From that site you’ll be able to track down Jim and attend any number of his speaking engagements. Jim can also be found on IG at @JimKilebaso.

Ladies and gentlemen the Power Athlete Academy Methodology course, Level 1 is now available. However, there are a limited number of spots that are filling up quickly. I know this because I get a goddamned email every time someone signs up. Get one of those last spots so we can bring a swift end to this email terrorism.

So you just signed up for the academy, and you’re like “What would you like me to do now, Cali?” well, move that cursor to the events tab get your tickets to the Power Athlete Symposium. December 8-10 will be the most memorable experience of your life. I know, your kid’s birth is number one right? Wrong. Were there professional athletes, former SEALS, barbecue, and beer at the your kid’s birth?
