Jake Plummer has a major name here in the treasure valley of Idaho, as he's a Capital High School legend! Growing up in this area, we often heard his name thrown around, which is why this is such an awesome interview for me, years later, on this platform! On today's episode, Jake will chat with us about his upbringing and how important being 'active' was for him in regards to all the sports he competed in. He was ALWAYS outside doing something, which is a lost art in today's world it appears.

We'll learn of his favorite experiences at Capital High School and then what it was like going to Arizona State where Jake became a legend. What were his favorite memories as the Sundevils Quarterback? What about the Nebraska game that really took that team on an upward trajectory and sort of (in a sense) de-railed Nebraska as a whole haha. What was the biggest transition to the college level?

Of course we'll talk in-depth about his professional career! What was it like playing the game as a professional. What was the grind like? Favorite memories? We have a discussion on the playbook as well and how to handle different styles of coaching while being a team player.

One of the best parts of sports for me, is seeing how sports work in business as well. Which is why it's also so great that Jake is here to chat about Umbo, his mushroom company. Don't be worried, he's going to explain the difference between functional mushrooms and psychedelics, but you're going to see WHY he's helping promote this style of living as he's taken a LOT of hits during his day. He'll share with us the science and reasoning behind supplementing with them and how they've helped him out.

This is EPISODE 300 of The Gametime Guru Podcast!! I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for supporting the show throughout the past six years. I am so grateful for everyone who listens to the show and shares my content with others! And with that, I'm beyond blessed and honored to bring on Quintin Mikell to the show!

Quintin was a major part of the growth of Boise State Football in the early 2000's. When Boise State upset Fresno State, to really put the broncos on the map, Quintin was a big part of that specific team! He learned a lot during his college days that he also was able to take to his professional days.

What a lot of people don't know however, is how Quintin made his mark in the NFL! And today we get to hear the stories!

• What happened on Draft Night?
• How did Quintin standout in training camps when he was surrounded by others who were at the highest level?
• What are some of the best memories of the NFL?
• Who were his greatest teammates?
• Which receivers caused the most problems for him and his defensive backs?
• What happened with the Terrell Owens situation in Philly when he was sent home from practice? (Behind the scenes information of how that day started haha)

So much awesome information coming your way to celebrate episode 300 of the podcast!

We will also chat about the new gig as a coach at Rocky Mountain High School (out of Meridian, ID) and what to expect moving forward there!

Brandon Turner was truly a star from a young age, however most people don't realize what the man went through in his life to be able to continue on in a sport that demands so much from you and your body!

Brandon joins the show today to speak about the life he's had as a skater and where it all started (surprisingly it was actually in Japan when he was there at a young age). We'll talk about the differences in Skating in Japan as compared to that of the United States.

We'll have a discussion about his substance abuse battles that he's gone through and what he's doing now to be a positive influence on those around him and be a mentor to the youth who are coming up in the sport.

It's a fantastic conversation here on the show and I hope you enjoy it! If you do, please leave me a review on Apple Podcasts by finding the show here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-gametime-guru/id1195653965

For the first time in history, we are diving into the world of Supercross and learning the ins and outs of the racing world, with one of the best to do it, Christian Craig.

We're going to discuss the adversity that Christian has faced throughout his career, and how he's been able to bounce back from that. Even since this interview was conducted, Christian suffered a pretty extensive injury which required surgery to fix it, so once again, he's battling some adversity in his career with this sport. It's a VERY dangerous sport to compete in!

We'll chat about the intricacies of the sport, the differences in the types of bikes he's racing now compared to before. We'll chat about the preparation it takes to get ready for his races and how he stays dialed in and everything.

This is a phenomenal opportunity to learn more about the sport itself, as well as understand what it's like to be a racer. It's very taxing. You have to find ways to keep yourself locked in while you're traveling with everyone throughout the whole season, and you have to have fun with it at the same time.

Christian and his wife have a vlog they created and you can follow that on YouTube by going to this link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-9Fe0AceEQ (this is just one of the videos explaining the very recent injury that Christian sustained, which may not be suitable for all viewers as it is very graphic)

Please give them a follow on the channel and support them!

I'd also ask that you please follow Christian on his various platforms:

Eugene Campbell III didn't take the 'traditional' route to the professional game, but his route was unique and required a TON of dedication and hard work. In fact, Eugene didn't really truly care about his basketball career until the very end of his high school season, his SENIOR YEAR!!

From going to a JUCO (Junior College), to fighting his way into the roster and getting minutes, to going D3 and having to work his way the last two years to getting as much playing time as he could, to being a graduate assistant and learning the importance of putting work in the gym and film room, to now playing overseas, Eugene knows a lot about the sport.

His story is inspiring and my hope is that the athletes who listen, will be able to learn a thing or two. Just because your route or journey may look different than someone else's, doesn't mean you can't make it happen. So keep going and working on your craft, and you can achieve whatever you want!

If you'd like to learn more about Eugene's non-profit, you can check out: https://www.walkamilenourshoes.org/

From the website:

"Walk A Mile N Our Shoes is a 501c3 non-profit organization officially founded in April 2021 in Jersey City, New Jersey. Our goal is to assist those less fortunate such as homeless populations or low-income families."

If you heard my interview with Bob Wheatley on the podcast, you'll remember him talking about his coach that helped him get back to full strength. That coach he referenced was none other than our guest on today's podcast.

Brent Pourciau, is the founder and CEO of Top Velocity. Brent specializes in helping baseball players recover from injuries, even more specifically, shoulder injuries. They hold camps and train these athletes consistently with their proven methods on how the body works.

Today, we'll get to hear from Brent about his own baseball career and how an injury to his shoulder at the age of 18 impacted his career and how it's impacted what he does now as a trainer!

You're going to love this interview to hear of the ups and downs of an athlete, as well as understand how he has turned his passion into a full on business helping other athletes!

In our interview you're going to hear a lot about the stories he has from the players he's coached and developed through the years. Massive golden nuggets being dropped today in this one!

We'll hear more about his recruiting business he has recently put together as well. One in which all young athletes should be paying attention to.

**Note the sound is terrible on my end as the connection was bad, but we've fixed that for all future episodes moving forward. Mike's sound is fantastic though and should be good to go**

From having everything, to losing it all, to now making it back and sharing his knowledge with the rest of us.

Mike Gibson is a retired NFL lineman, and now the Director of Community Outreach at The Mental Health Center of San Diego and Healthy Life Recovery. (mhcsandiego.com )

In our interview, Mike will be chatting with us regarding his football career. The ups and downs. The Junior College to D1 route he took. What he learned through that process, and what the transitions were like from JUCO to D1, and then we will also learn of the transition to the NFL where Mike played for 6 years.

In Mike's third year in the NFL, he suffered an injury that required a big recovery. This is when Mike's story took a turn as he became addicted to pain killers. This addiction continued to get worse and worse, as his body became chemically dependent on some of these substances and he found himself in a downward spiral that continued not only through the remainder of his NFL career, but after he retired from the game as well.

This is a story of addiction, of perserverance, of recovery, and redemption!

It also goes to show that it can truly happen to anyone at any moment, so it's wise to become familiar with the situation and with Mike's story as it has the potential to help thousands of listeners out there!

Share this episode with any athlete you know, and anyone you feel could benefit! Thank you for tuning in!
