EXTREME OWNERSHIP

This week, former SEAL, author, and speaker, Jocko Willink [@jockowillink] joins The Crew to discuss something he all too familiar with. Getting CEO's and even parents to embody the leadership qualities best suited to accomplish the task is what Willink does.

However, Willink has seen the benefits of empowering clients with leadership skills and self awareness, enabling them to conquer life's hurdles.

His unique military background has provided him with a deep understanding of the implications of poor vs superior leadership. Now, he shares his knowledge through his publications, podcast, and most recently, a children's book. Find out how you can strike the perfect balance within what Willink describes as the "dichotomy of leadership".

Getting the Word Out

These days contact sports, namely football, are on the chopping block for their propensity to cause serious brain injury. Luckily Fred Willis has stepped in as an advocate for players and is dedicated to combating the machine that pumps out TBI's, CTE's, and undiagnosed concussions any given Sunday.

A former NFL veteran, Willis considers himself lucky to have the capacity to fight for those athletes who have suffered from not only their irreversible head trauma but from being ostracized by the very institution that employs them.

No matter your opinion on whether the NFL owes these players anything, one thing is for sure. Hearing Willis speak of the complex politics surrounding the issues reminds us that these men are the gladiators of the modern age deserve treatment.

Training for the truly unknown

This week we welcome back Jay Dawes, PhD [@dawesjay]. Jay keeps plenty busy at the University of Colorado under his current role of Coordinator of Athletic Performance but today we dive into some of the research he is doing as a consultant for the Colorado State Patrol.

He has been working in conjunction with Trooper Charlie Kornhauser who heads the physical training at the academy. The collaboration has led to some interesting findings about the status of police and trooper preparedness as well as what "fitness" really means in a line of work with a vast set of demands.

To say that creating the perfect training program for our brothers and sisters in blue is a difficult task is an understatement. Hear how Dawes and Kornhauser embrace the challenge, one class of cadets at a time.

EMPOWER YOUR PERFORMANCE.

Probably the best way to learn more about Dr. Dawes is to head to www.elitesportsuniversity.com and sort through Jay's amazing coaching and research findings.  Additionally, if you're in the CO area and looking for a career in law enforcement or you're currently working the field and want to see what Charlie has been doing with the sate patrol, head to Colorado.gov and search cadet trooper examination.
