Coach Glass Podcast

The bench press was created by the Devil. This isn’t my opinion, it is a fact! For some reason there are still fitness coaches and athletes that hold on to this archaic exercise and hold it up as the gold standard for press strength and power. Have we not learnt from the demise of the Bosu Ball, Thigh Master and the Ab Roller? There are better ways to develop push strength. In this episode I go DEEP into the bench press debate and have a little fun while Im at it. For a full serious debate on the plusses and minuses of the bench press please see my new blog post on the subject! https://www.jasonglassperformancelab.com/?p=4714 I want to give a special thanks to all the sponsors for their continued support of the show.

Free your mind and the rest will follow…. To be creative and productive I need to create an environment that is conducive to the task at hand. I struggle with multi tasking so any distraction will take me away from the focused task at hand. I basically have 5 key elements to my business and each one requires my undivided attention each day. Below is a list of things I do in my life to ensure that I am 100% focussed and productive everyday: Clear a path to better sleep! I need a clean, clutter free room, with blackout blinds, crisp clean sheets and the room temperature as cold as possible. To ensure I have a clean bed and clutter free room I know I need to ensure that all my clothes are put away each day and I start the day by making the bed. Starting your day with making your bed is not a new concept but for many of you this could be a catalyst that starts a snowball affect of productivity in your day. Especially if you are single. “Why make my bed if I am just going to get back in it and mess it up again ton

This is another episode from my Coach Glass Podcast Best of Series. Liam Hennessy is one of my mentors that I put on the Mount Rushmore of Performance Coaches. He has helped me in my career through his teachings but even more importantly he has taught me life lessons that are invaluable and I cherish dearly. A true hedge school master! This is one of my favourite episodes to record as we had just completed a LoadXplode Workshop in Ireland at his Setanta College and we recorded the Q&A at the end of the day. The questions that came in from the amazingly talented coaches and the responses that came form Liam are timeless. It is a Master Class in coaching. I listen to this episode at least once a year and get something new out of it every time. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Follow your gut! It never lies…..or does it? We are going on a DEEP dive into your colon and unraveling the secrets of your health. Don’t be a dingle berry, listen to how you can change your gut function today! The techniques we use will probe your current beliefs and may be a little uncomfortable at first but once you relax you will see that its for your own good! Sure we have some fun poking around the topic but its not all shits and giggles. Ohh no…we are dropping science like Gaileo dropped the orange! We discuss the brain gut connection and help you understand how your stinking thinking has people around you thinking you are a shit for brains! Whoah whoah whoah Coach…enough with the potty mouth. Well as a matter of fact our journey starts there..the mouth and ends at the balloon knot. What happens in between is something for you to digest. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I enjoyed…. ohh ohhh hold up…sorry..I got to go…just listen and learn! I want to give a special thanks to all the sponsors for

In this episode I sit down with Anthony Vittese who is one of the most talented therapists on the planet. He works for professional teams, consults for some of the best athletes on the planet and teaches for FMS, SFMA and OnBaseU. We go DEEP into the differences between functional screening, medical screens, performance screens and how to use the data once it’s collected. We share stories of how these systems have changed the way we perform our jobs on a daily basis and some of the mentors we had along the way. I just got back from Philadelphia where Anthony out did himself as a host and we share some stories about life on the road. From Minus 5 Ice Vodka Bars, all you can eat cannoli to cheese steaks wit or wit out. I also do my best to offend 1/2 the world’s population and take a few swings at softball. All in good fun!

So many people hesitate to accomplish their goals because they are putting the cart before the horse. “I want to lose 10lbs before I get a trainer.” “I will quite drinking once Oktoberfest is over.” “Ill hire a front desk assistant once my business can afford it.” “We are going to get married once we buy a house!” “We are a waiting for our kids to leave the house before we get a divorce.” “I dont want my children to to feel the failure I experienced in my life!” Cart before the horse! In this Episode we go DEEP into the murky waters and uncover all the excuses you tell yourself. You know the ones that hold you back from truly accomplishing your dreams. Yeah, those ones!

The best way to find inspiration is to inspire others and reflect their inspiration on to yourself. When you help others you are in an essence helping yourself. The script we give others is a reflection of the self we want to be. I am not saying that this should be your purpose for helping others but if you open yourself up to opportunity to learn from those you coach or interact with you may just become inspired yourself. Have you ever found yourself giving a close friend advice about their marriage and gleamed insight into your own relationship. If you think your advice is so valid for them, why don't you take your own advice in your own affairs. I just completed my 7th Annual Coach Glass Mentorship and my Inspiration Cup runneth over! I had to get my thoughts on wax so this episode is a special one. I hope you get some inspiration form my words and they inspire you to inspire others. I am launching my Fall Tournament Player LoadXplode Training Program Sept 10nd. If you or an athlete you coach wants to get

Coach Glass Podcast Best Of Series features some of my favorite interviews of all time. I am re-releasing them because they get removed from the podcast archives and they are too important to be lost. First episode is one of my all time favorites! My friend, colleague and mentor, Dr. Mike Voight!  Dr. Mike Voight shares his insight on the new era of performance training. Medical and fitness professionals are learning from each other and creating this hybrid meshing of their 2 worlds. We discuss the concept of High Threshold training techniques and when it is appropriate to use them. It was great to finally get Mike in for a unique and in-depth heart to heart. Dr. Voight is a World leader and innovator when it comes to using therapeutic techniques to enhance performance. He is a co-creator of the SFMA and presents his techniques around the World at SFMA and TPI workshops. Mike and I also discuss the road to greatness and what you need to do once you reach the top! Mike is truly one of my mentors and I hope thi

This one is for the athletes out there in the Glistener Nation! What do the greatest performers from sports, music, and the arts do differently than the average Joe? They have created habits that when performed over time create skill. When performed under stress at the point of failure, that skill is transformed into true greatness. IN this episode I share the secrets habits that all the greats posses. I push my athletes to add these habits to their daily routines. So what are you waiting for? You dont have a plan? You dont know how to change the habits you currently have? Well then lets get started! I am launching my Fall Competitive LoadXplode Training Program Sept 2nd. If you or an athlete you coach wants to get in on this follow along 16 week training program go to http://jasonglasslab.com I want to give a special thanks to all the sponsors for their continued support of the show.

This is another edition of The Coach experimenting with new forms of fitness. Let me start by saying I hate BIKES! I don’t own one and don’t want one. I once fell off a stationary bike. That should tell you everything. But for your edumatainment I ventured into the murky waters of Spin Class, Peloton and Downhill Mountain Biking! In the past I tackled CrossFit, Hot Yoga and Pilates. In this episode I share my experience of a week at disco spin classes, test driving the Peloton bike and headed to Crankworx which is the Super Bowl of mountain biking. I discuss my thoughts on doing one style of fitness exclusively and the ramifications that come with this approach. I compare the metabolic load of Spin and compare it running, hiking and lifting. The good, the bad and ugly. My sits bones are still sore so you are welcome...I hope you are entertained. Want to challenge The Coach to try a new activity? Send us a #YOJAY and let us know what you want me to dive into next! I am launching my Fall Competitive LoadXplode

**Warning** If you are not a competitive athlete or a coach who works with determined, hardworking athletes…you need to turn this podcast off! I am not wasting my breathe on casual listeners. This ones for the Glisteners! What are the key elements that separate you from the rest of the pack? When you step on the first tee are you confident that you have done everything in your power to prepare for this moment? Are you confident that you have worked not only harder but smarter than your competitors? Did you do the same old strength program everyone else does or did you commit to a program specifically designed for speed and power? In this episode I get a little fired up!!! Im fired up because I see time and time again, competitive athletes who work their butts off and get no where. Not from being lazy, but from focussing on the wrong things like getting stronger for the sake of getting stronger. Do you want to get stronger or faster? “Look how strong her golf swing is!” or “Look at the incredible speed she cre

What if I told you there is no metabolic window, lactic acid flushing is like spinning your wheels and cryotherapy is straight up cold wrong when it comes to metabolic recovery? Some of our most trusted performance techniques are standing on shaky ground. Thats what happens when you put a topic like recovery in the hands of a genius. My good friend and Perform Better colleague Brandon Marcello Phd comes on the show and shares some of the myths that athletes and coaches alike continue to buy into and why some of them may still be good practice, just not for the reason you think! Brandon shared this presentation at the Perform Better Summits this year to sold out audiences and blew them away. I was in the back of the room taking notes and told him he had to come back on the show and share with my #GlistenerNation his insight so we don’t need to continue to propitiate these myths.

Celebrating 300 weeks of podcasting gold. 300 weeks without missing an episode. That is 5.7 years of podcasting! I started this podcast Oct 30th 2013 and it has transformed my life ever since.

The Ying Yang symbol that you see on any martial arts studio logo, tattoos from the 80’s and on surf board and skateboards made by T&C is a perfect metaphor for life. The eb and flow of the positive and negative, feminine and masculine, order and chaos, the light and the dark. It represents balance. The Yang is the white side of the image and the Ying is the black side. The white Yang side represents positivity, masculinity and light. The black Ying side represents the negative, feminine and darkness. Ladies! Dont get mad at me for putting you in the dark, negative side that represents chaos. I didn’t come up with this. The Ying Yang is an ancient Chinese Taoist symbol from thousands of years ago! When I practice yoga I perform a 1 hour Yang Ying routine. I start with 30 minutes of masculine, strenuous holds for a set number of breathes then transition into 30 minutes of passive feminine stretches. Once you complete the Yang portion you are dying to lay down in the pool of sweat you have created beneath y

To truly grow as a person you need to get uncomfortable. All successful people have some kind of inner motivator that pushes them to succeed. But it is human nature to seek comfort so we push ourselves in ways we are comfortable with. If you are good at sports you challenge yourself physically. Good at math? You may challenge yourself in creating an algorithm for success. The things that are holding us back from true greatness are the things we avoid because they are uncomfortable. This is where you need mentorship in your life. Someone to call bullshit on you when its appropriate and guide you through the process of growth. Business life, personal life and any endeavour worth challenging yourself with can be enhanced by finding a mentor. This episode is all about that! Mentorship.

The most democratic Major in golf, with local and sectional qualifying all over the world. You can literally play your way into a Major without ever playing in a PGATour event! And if you play well enough, you to get to play and compete on the largest stage with the best in the world. There are countless amateurs, and unknown mini-tour pros who made it into the US Open at Pebble Beach this week! Before they qualified no one would have given them a shot of playing in a Major in 2019! But they believed, they paid their entry fee and dreamt big. NOW WHAT? Can they overdeliver on it? Did they do the work needed to be undeniable? Did they get their hands dirty on the road to their #DreamBIG? Did they dig deep enough in the dirt? Many people will go through life, not taking a shot, not dreaming big. They'll be passive viewers, watching other people achieve their dreams, whether that's launching a successful business, getting that dream guy/girl, landing that big name client, whatever it is, they didn't dare to drea
