The Gametime Guru

At 6'11 and athletic, it's no surprise that basketball was the sport of choice for Greg Kite. The suprising part of his story is how he was able to sustain such a long professional career by staying healthy at that size as he competed with some of the best players in history. 

Today, we get to hear the story of Greg Kite and his journey through the NBA and beyond! 

A McDonald's All-American in High School, a stud at BYU throughout his 4-year career there and the 21st overall pick in the 1983 draft to the Boston Celtics, Greg had a chance to compete alongside some of the sport's greatest stars at various levels. 

Find out today what it was like competing with the likes of Danny Ainge, Larry Bird, Shaquille O'Neal and many more! We also get to hear stories of what it's like playing for the Celtics organization and how they treat their former players even today. What was it like in Orlando when that was a new organization? How did the community treat the team and players? 

What are some of his favorite memories throughout his entire career.  Who were some of the best players he was around? What did he learn from them? How do sports help him in life now? 

What an incredible opportunity to learn from an amazing individual. I can't wait to share this episode with you all today!

For years, athletes and others have attempted to find ways to tap into their brains and train themselves to be stronger mentally so they can enhance their overall performance. 

Now, we have tools and technology to do that exact thing. We are going to learn about Alphabeats today on the show as the Chief Commercial Officer of Alphabeats, Jorrit DeVries, joins the podcast and shares his insight on what this technology is all about! 

We are learning about Alpha Training which is a neurofeedback training of the brain waves, and how this can impact you as an athlete. We'll hear real life examples of how this has helped the mental toughness for certain athletes who have used this in their training and how it impacts performance, sleep, training, etc. 

What a great opportunity for us all to actually have something TANGIBLE that can help us with the mental side of the game. As you'll see on the website, the Alphabeats technology comes with a headband to provide feedback from the trainings (sessions) you do, and that is one of the best parts as it will allow you to measure your own training (which just like when you're training your muscles, if you don't record your trainings, how do you know if you are making progress?)

Please make sure to take a listen today and consider following the Alphabeats social media channels as well as looking into their website to find out more about the product.

For the last few years I've had the honor of watching Avery Howell as she took the girls basketball scene by storm as a leader for her Boise High School squad! The growth she had over the past few years was insane and to see how she handled the pressure when the spotlight was on her, was incredible. 

Her work ethic and her passion are large reasons why she found herself with the honors of being a McDonald's All-American in 2024 after her senior year at Boise, and why she will be playing basketball at USC next season! 

Avery is just one of two girls basketball players from Idaho to be named a McDonald's All-American, so you may consider taking notes on this one because she knows what it requires to get to that next level. 

From waking up early for YEARS and putting in the work. To the sacrifices required to be able to improve her game as a young high school student athlete. She has quite the story to share with us today! 

We'll hear about her preparation for the Canadian National Team as well where she competed this summer and then we'll learn more about her preparations for heading to California and why she chose USC in the first place. 

Also shoutout to Meta Hoops, where Avery played Club Basketball and was able to take her skills to the next level!

Jackie Beene McBride is a BYU Women’s Basketball Hall of Famer and with that comes so many amazing stories and insights! If you are interested in learning from someone who has competed in their sport at one of the highest levels of their era, and who has helped be part of the evolution of their sport, then tap into this one! 

We’ll discuss many points today, such as: 

• Jackie’s introduction into basketball and the state of women’s basketball when she was in middle school (we talk about jerseys and how it was treated back then)

• We talk about school and how playing college basketball is just as much part of the academic side as it is the athletic side. She gives advice on how to do your best in the classroom so you can remain eligible to play. 

• What about the actual sport itself? What is it like for conditioning and training? What is it like in practice and conditioning for the game. How much did they actually have to run? How do you actually prepare for the grind that it’s going to require? 

• Real life skillsets to take from the court to your actual life! 

Take a listen to this one and learn from one of the best to do it! If you'd like to see the accolades for Jackie, read this from the website: https://byu-cougars-prd.byu-dept-athletics-prd.amazon.byu.edu/athlete/w-basketball/13319/jackie-mcbride 

Such a blessing to learn from one of the best to play the game!

From the diamond to the business world, Brandon Buck knows a thing or two about what it takes to be a leader and a motivator in life. From his bio on his website it reads: 

"For 22 years, Brandon Buck has been helping people and companies maximize their potential. He has led numerous athletes to the professional ranks and colleges, facilitated transitions of small startups to major corporate players, increased the efficiency and productivity of large corporations, and helped individuals discover their purpose."

Brandon played college baseball at Purdue University and has some awesome stories to share regarding his time there. He knows what it takes to compete at a high level and he knows the ups and downs that athletes as well as business owners go through in their journeys. 

Today he's going to share with us his insights and we'll learn about the parallels between sports and business and what he sees in high level leaders across multiple platforms. How do they handle pressure? How do they find JOY in what they're doing? 

I'm grateful for Brandon's time with us on the show and for the knowledge he is willing to share with the rest of us. I'd encourage all of you to listen in and if you or someone you know could benefit from Coach Brandon Buck's services, contact him through his various channels or take a look at his website (Infinite Strengths)

Also need to give a much deserved shoutout to one of my best friends, Brent Chapman! Brent is the reason I was able to connect with Brandon and I'm grateful for that connection!

I first learned of Dan Hawkins when  he was the head coach for my Alma Mater, Boise State University. From 2001-2005, Coach Hawkins was leading the Broncos on their journey during their 'growth phase' from a national perspective. While that era was not the first time Boise State had tasted massive success (Coach Hawkins will be the first to tell you that Boise State  has ALWAYS been a winning program), it was a time where the media deal allowed for the Broncos to be seen on a national level. 

Ever since that time, I've followed Dan Hawkins and his journey through the coaching and broadcasting ventures he's been on. It seems that everywhere he goes, he leaves a mark! And today is a great opportunity to hear from him on his experiences. 

What was it like leaving Boise State for Colorado, where his son, Cody (who is now the head coach at Idaho State University) and having to go through the ups and downs of that time in the (formerly known as) Big 12. 

We talk about his CFL coaching experience and what it was like at the professional level with the hurdles you have to jump with the Canadian rules and strategies. 

We also chat about his experience at UC Davis, where most recently Coach Hawkins coached from 2017-2023. 

What are some of the lessons he's taken from his coaching journey? What are some of his favorite memories? What are the next steps in Coach Hawkins' life? What is it like watching his kids and their successes (and what was it like coaching against his son this past season?) 

So many awesome stories coming your way on this one, so if you're a football fan, coaching fan, Boise State fan, or just someone who is looking to learn about the sports world and leadership, this is a perfect episode for you! Make sure to tap in and take some notes!

The world of college athletics is ALWAYS changing. It's hard to keep up as a fan with what the new rules are in regards to transfer portals, NIL, recruiting, etc. Now imagine you're an Athletic Director and you have to find unique ways to overcome these challenges? 

Today, I'm bringing on Jeramiah Dickey, the Athletic Director at Boise State University, to share the inside scoop of what it's like to be an AD at a University in today's ever changing world of college athletics. 

We'll discuss topics such as navigating the transfer portal. How can a school like Boise State keep up with those demands. We talk NIL and how to make sure we still are able to recruit (AND KEEP) the big named athletes who will help turn the program around. How do they stay competitive in regards to the salaries they pay their coaches? How do they increase budget and improve OTHER sports and how can we as fans help witht that? 

Since Jeramiah has taken over at Boise State, there have been some massive changes, yet he always seems to find a way to overcome those and beat the odds. You'll hear today how he credits his amazing staff with a lot of this success! You don't want to miss it! 

I met Jeramiah at the Athletic Leadership Conference held at Boise State University last year and I thought he was an incredible speaker. This is why I tried so hard to get in contact with him, and so 'honored' is an understatement when it comes to the fact he's now on my show.

Pete Steinberg is an amazing human being and I'm stoked to bring this interview to you this week! 

As a former U.S., international, and Olympic sports coach and commentator for major outlets such as CBS, ESPN, and Fox Sports, Pete has a track record of bringing teams to victory. He led the USA Women’s Rugby Team to two World Cups and the Rio Olympics and has coached the Penn State Women, MARFU Men, and Temple Women rugby teams to 11 National Championships. Pete brings his experience in elite sport to his work as President of Innovative Thought, where he supports clients in the areas of innovation, leadership, strategic planning, marketing, recruiting, and organizational development.

We will be speaking of his new book: Leadership Shock: Using Authenticity to Navigate the Hidden Dangers of Career Success which you can find here: https://www.amazon.com/Leadership-Shock-Authenticity-Navigate-Dangers/dp/B0CR5VLKM2  

What an awesome opportunity to hear about the comparisons between the sports world and the business world. We have an awesome conversation about my current job changes and what I'm currently moving into in my own personal life as well in regards to leadership which is why this interview was so timely. 

I will personally put my stamp of approval on this book as well. I had a chance to read Leadership Shock prior to interviewing Pete and I knew, even just four chapters into it (at the time I interviewed him) that it was an incredible book. If you are looking to gain some insight into the leadership world in business, please consider checking out this book and showing your support!
