The Virtus Podcast

Welcome back to the Virtus Performance podcast!! Season 4, huge, we’re stoked to be back! 

Mitch was lucky to sit down with long-time uni friend Nick Jankovskis who is a sport scientist, AFL umpire and sport tragic. Nick currently applies his trade out of METS Performance Consulting in Mulgrave which specialises in coaching and consulting for people with an invested interest in endurance sport. 

Mitch and Nick spoke about what it’s like to be an AFL umpire, athlete and some powerful tools for those looking to take their endurance performance nutrition to another level.

The Obstacle Is The Way apparently, and for Bailey Schmidt this year, there were more than a few obstacles. Multiple broken bones, mental health battles, missing the Grand Final (and a bizarre concussion at Strawberry Fields) resulted in a year that didn't go according to script. But, despite the troubles we face in life, the world doesn't stop spinning, and Bailey took everything on the chin and came out the other side. In this episode, Bailey shares his insight into his 2022, the resources and learnings that got him through and why he's moving to the Sunshine Coast! Disclaimer: This podcast was filmed on a Sunday morning - Tyler and Bailey were both very much battling. Please persist through the first 20 minutes as our brains slowly switch on

As we approach a wonderful but often chaotic time of year, Tyler and Clare sit down to chat all things stress modulation Stress comes in many forms (almost everything is a stressor to the organism in some way or another), but it is the dose that determines the poison. This chat dives into what stress is and how the body responds to it, tools to manage stress in real-time and counter the effects of chronic stress, how to make friends with stress and use it as your friend, as well as some nutritional interventions to help nourish the body with an abundance of nutrients in order to feel and perform better. If you're struggling to unwind and are feeling constantly "wired", there will be many gems in this episode that will help you to step back and fill your cup up. How many times do you think we can say the word "stress" in an hour?

This week's guest can't quite wrap his head around the fact that our listeners would tune in to listen to him talk for an hour. But, we immensely appreciated the Managing Director of the Betty's Burgers franchise; Troy McDonagh popping in to chat with Tyler. Troy has many fingers in many pies; with a passion for people development and team cohesiveness, Troy keeps himself busy by helping bring the staff together in the many businesses he is involved in, including our close friends at Commonfolk Coffee! The importance of filling your own cup up, training, values, and a brief stint in the AFL which was ravaged by knee injury are all discussed in this brief podcast.
