The Deep Roots Athletics's Podcast

Coach palo and I discuss a very different approach to all things nutrition.   We both talk about our experiences with the protocol and how its evolved over time.   Most approaches to food are very simplistic and are often built around attaining some sort of aesthetic goals.  

We explain the importance of the protocol on your recovery, your performance, sleep and behaviour.  Most people struggle with food a lot, and i've found the only solution to that is far too simple.   

At a later date me Jen and Trevor will be sitting down to discuss our experience with the nutrition protocol as well as outline and give details to exactly how it works and why.

Palo and I share a lot of the same principles when it comes to training and coaching, both unique and unorthodox in approach and execution.

This episode we discuss some principles around movement and how the system works. 
We also discuss what that looks like around training and coaching tri-athletes.  Adjusting behaviour, motives, performance and movement patterns. 

We take a deep dive into one of my athletes, and the process I went through to help them go from chronic hamstring, hip and shoulder pain, to being able to run 14 km's with no pain and no repercussions the next day.  From fixing chronic imbalances to building up different energy systems and working on some behavioural pieces.

Palo has also some experience with Tri-atheltes and has some interesting and funny stories around that !

A big warm welcome to Trevor.  
As of January, he has decided to join the deep roots team and were excited to have him.
He has an extensive background in kinesiology that we are slowly integrating into the deep roots practice.  

In this episode we talk about his history with kinesiology, and how he, like most of us learning the strongfit principles for the first time, are completely and utterly stunned.  
He gets into his sports history, his journey through school and becoming a kinesiologist. 

We also discuss his multiple shoulder  surgeries, how he got there and how he got out of it.  He also goes into where he thought he'd be after surgery and where he as come after applying the strongfit principles.

Lots of things have changed...Lots of things are changing...

This was an old one from the summer, where Matt and I discuss my approach to fitness, and finally our shared common understanding of how the body functions and what you can do to truly help yourself.  
We never always met eye to eye with this stuff, we always got caught in semantics, however things change the more you talk and experience, for the both of us.

It's a long one, we discuss many topics from interoception, Social media, meditation, and matts personal experience with my style of training.  
The introduction is changing, I might even just get rid of it, never cared for them, just more work for me on the back end haha ! 

Anyways, Enjoy, stay tuned for another podcast coming at the end of the January 2024! 

Jen and I have a little update about our training, her broken foot, the impact it's had on her and her training and whats to come.  

We talk a little about how her most recent injuries have impacted her sense of self but also showing her a new path forward.  From her almost broken wrist to a now broken foot she talks through what happened and how she's using it to learn about her life and her training. 

I also talk about how recent training has taken a weird turn and how I found my life was impacting my gym routine.  Its more personal but lots of nuggets that we share and how were getting out of those tricky spots.

Jen and I did a little impromptu podcast a couple weeks back just talking about our current training and fitness.  

We discuss our individual paths of our current fitness, what we've learned, what we need to work on, and what we are really enjoying.  Of course this podcast comes a few weeks after Jen breaking her 5th metatarsal on her foot. 

It's a short one but always fun.  
-Sorry for the sound quality, we did it outside and the mic didn't pick up our voice as well as we wanted to.

I had a wonderful conversation with Pavol from all the way out in Dubai.  
We met each other through instagram sharing some sort of content related to Strongfit.  From there we've been in touch and we finally got together and had a lengthy chat about his approach to fitness.

I find that most Strongfit coaches share a lot of the same values and principles towards not only fitness but life also.  We discuss some of those values and approaches surrounding fitness, training, anxiety and the current fitness culture.  

Pavol is an extremely knowledgable trainer and a great speaker, we will be doing another one together in the near future, we also may do a few more after that, It was a long one but it was chalked full of great stories an information. 

PS, sorry about some of the audio quality, it was my first time doing an online podcast.

Jen and I travelled down to L.A. for a 2 day seminar and a 4 day coaches week withe Julian Pineau from strongfit and Mike Ramirez from divergent fitness. 

Jarrett asks us a load of question about what we learned, how we felt, and our whole experience down there. 
We also touch on how training actually impact autism, and how the principles I've been learning from Strongfit are crucial for helping this population.

Deep Roots Athletics will be offering more services towards helping people with autism,  I plan on creating a place were underserved communities can access training to help improver their overall life. 

This episode we talk about the novelty search and what that means for training and your life.  
The Study done in France outlines how they used algorithms in conjunction with AI to solve getting out of a maze (fundamentally, solving problems).  

We explain and connect black swan event to your life, and even training, and how they impact the direction and path in which you take, and the impacts of those certain events.

We also talk about the difference between objectives and constraints and how these ideas often get mixed up the in process of going towards goals and what the proper approach to take when creating goals.

All the Love, Deep Roots

Jarrett is back ! 

We discuss the rest of the Q training and how it can help you with your training and your everyday life. 
We will be going back to these at some point and elaborating on them even more. 

We discuss Q+1, Disney December, and burn the questions.  All massively helpful tools that can start to create balance within you as an individual and your training systems. 

Sit back and enjoy.
