In this episode The Coach offers up a big slab of Humble Pie! This episode could be called "The Art of Navigating Greatness!” in a humble manner. As an athlete, how do you respond to your greatest accomplishment. A look of appreciation for the opportunity or a raspberry to your competitors. As a coach, do you stand on the top of the mountain and tell the world that your player won? You want to celebrate but you also don’t want to come across as a self promoting jerk! Sooooo how do we navigate this in the modern social media driven World? Look...Brooke Henderson just won her 1st LPGA major at 18 years old! This is massive! Is it wrong for me to celebrate that? Did I drop the 90ft putt? NO! Did I hit the shots or close out the playoff with the World watching? NO! Have I worked with Brooke over the last 2 years? NO! Am I proud of the 4 years that I was fortunate to have the opportunity work with such an amazing athlete and work with all the coaches and IST for the Canadian National Team? YESSSSS!!!!!! So how do

If you think that everyone who walks through your front door should be treated the same you are in for a serious shift in your psyche! Equality? Everyone deserves the same approach? I had the pleasure of sitting in on a presentation by Alexa Dvorak on how to grow your membership by catering to the female client. I came in with an open mind and a preconceived idea of what I was in for. I couldn’t have been further off the mark. The knowledge and insight I gained has had me looking at my business and personal interactions through a different lens. I always thought I could open my doors, coach with passion, over deliver on service, build a sense of community and we are good to go! Then I was left with the question, “why are 75% of my clients men?” After listening to Alexa I now understand that I wasn’t understanding or catering to the female market. The solutions are simple and I am embarrassed to admit that I was blind to seeing the problem. I love coaching women and have developed lifelong friendships with man

As promised here is part 2 of the Rotational Power episode! Apparently I went too DEEP on the first part and had to break it into 2. In this episode we dive into Anti-Rotation and High Threshold Training Concepts. I mentioned that I would share with you my Dynamic Warm Up for the Gym video that I referenced in the show. If you want me to send it your way simply send me an email to info@jasonglassperformancelab.com or if you are a member of the #CoachGlassNextLevel you already have access to it! The warm up is an assessment and the assessment is a warm up! @perform_better @mytpi @2UNDR #CoachGlassNextLevel #DreamBig #OverDeliver #BeUndeniable Coach Glass

Developing explosive rotational power requires serious dedication from the athlete in the gym. What you do in the training sessions can be the difference maker between creating true speed and power versus just expending energy. Over the past 25 years I had the opportunity to work with some of the world’s greatest rotational athletes. What I have learnt from this experience may surprise you. Texts have been written, presentations have been presented and studies have been published. Don’t believe the hype! To make someone world class you need to paint outside the lines. The standard protocol for training rotary athletes will make you good but the colour that lands outside the lines is the part that makes you exceptional. In this episode I share with you how venturing outside of the lines has helped me develop the training principles that make you #LoadXplode. They are simple. But you need to adjust your way of thinking to enjoy the benefits. This episode is a 2 parter because we go DEEP! In the 1st episode I la

Dan John shares his secrets to attaining true strength, rotational power, and live a full life! Dan is the real deal and he gets real on this week’s episode. We discuss rotational power and how training anti-rotation enhances your ability to rotate at higher speeds. Two strength coaches who work with rotational athletes debating the process of squeezing the last 1% out of their athlete’s performance, who wouldn’t enjoy that? Dan comes from the track and field arena, focusing on throwers. This All-American discus thrower doesn’t just talk the talk but walks the walk. Dan has competed in Olympic Lifting, Highland Games and can throw a serious Caber! Author of Easy Strength, Never Let Go, and Can You Go? to name just a few of my favourites. If you get a chance to see Dan John this year at the upcoming @perform_better Summits you better get a front row seat and get ready to take notes. This episode is a must for any strength coach, thrower, athlete, or fitness enthusiast. For more information on Dan John you can

This is a must listen to episode with one of my favourite people on earth. Brian brings it! Real talk between a coach and a practitioner about what fitness REALLY is and what it means to be great! How to take a world class athlete and make them better using nothing but their body weight and what looks like a jungle gym for adults. We discuss the Egoscue methodology which Brian has been an integral part of since he met Pete Egoscue in 1991. Since then Brian has been touring the globe teaching the method and inspiring others alongside Tony Robbins! You have to have some pretty big stones to get up on stage with one of the most powerful speakers of our generation. We also discuss how every movement is a test. We can learn from our athlete’s movements what their limitations are without a formal screen. The movement is the screen. How movement can bring together a family and being the role model of movement for your children. Wow what didn’t we chat about? Just listen. Full money back guarantee on this one. What o

What is your mindset? Where is your mind? Are you aware that you have control over your mindset? You can develop a skill set to change your mindset! You need to make a clear and concise decision to compartmentalize your brain to be 100% focussed and present while executing the task at hand. You need to think of your mind as a computer operating system. If you want your computer to run at the highest level you need to close all the programs that are running in the background. So many of you are 1 task away from crashing and many of you have the spinning wheel in your eyes already! This episode will help you compartmentalize your mind and become more effective, efficient and productive in your life, sport, or career. I also share a story about a recent trip I was on and how I got in the head of 500+ people with a 5 second chant and potentially saved a kid from diabetes at the same time. That is the power of the mind folks! @perfrom_better @mytpi #CoachGlassNextLevel #DreamBig #OverDeliver #BeUndeniable Coach Gl

This is a special edition of the Coach Glass Podcast. Motivation. Its not for everyone (that is for sure). It may make some of you uncomfortable. It may dive into the depths of your psyche that you have locked away and paved over with your false affirmations. Or... you will love it! It may be uplifting, inspiring, and help you squeeze out the last ounce of growth you needed to maximize your potential. Either way it is the Coach delivering his unique inspirational post workout talks. My goal has always been ?Inspire Others to Greatness? This is one episode of a series that will hopefully do just that! So here is how it works. Listen to the podcast. Then do your workout and at the end of your training session, lie on your back and put your ear buds in. Relax and listen to the Motivation. Its like a meditation but its motivation. Maybe its a MotiTation. The Motivation can be downloaded on iTunes just like you downloaded this episode. It can be listened to again and again. There are more coming so enjoy it and as

What if you took the end goal for your training and reverse engineered it. My end goal is to?????? Lets say it was to be STRONGER! Now break it down into the elements or components that make you stronger. What kind of time, intensity, tension, sets, reps and frequency is required to accomplish this goal. Focussing on this by itself may get us to our desired destination but may also involve us neglecting some of the other elements. Components that provide us with other desired physical characteristic like cardiovascular health, function and speed. Can we breakdown a bigger physical goal that encompasses all the elements we need to be successful at our sport? Can we put them all into 1 training session and hit them all at once or would it be better to break it up into chunks? Thats what this MUST LISTEN episode is all about. How to train in chunks to maximize your potential. Enjoy it! @perfrom_better @mytpi #CoachGlassNextLevel #DreamBig #OverDeliver #BeUndeniable Coach Glass

This is the big one! The one you have all been waiting for! Okay probably not. In fact the thought of The Coach breaking down sex on this scientific and serious podcast seems absurd. Well it is a part of life, in fact it is the reason you have life, so its a topic that must be covered. We answer all the questions that you are afraid to type into your Google Search in fear of your neighbours finding out about your foot fetish. How many calories do yo burn while having sex? What are the hormonal implications of having sex, abstaining from sex or having to take business into your own hands. Why do you feel sleepy post coital? What is the future of sex for Generation Z? Plus a ton of random thoughts, unfiltered and completely uneducated biased opinions from yours truly. This one is explicit. There I warned you. Cheers! @perfrom_better @mytpi #CoachGlassNextLevel #DreamBig #OverDeliver #BeUndeniable Coach Glass

In this episode we break down the whats, whys, hows, whens and when nots of social media. We also help you decide which social media platform is best for your brand. How to get REAL friends and REAL followers that truly care about your message. Twitter, Instagram, Periscope, FB, Pintrest and SnapChat all have a special algorithm that you need to unlock to maximize your exposure. Social media is like magic. Everyone loves the grand reveal but no one really knows how its done. Why is it that you post a video that took you a day to shoot, 3 days to edit and upload, 2 hours to write the blog post for and finally launch it on your social media platforms to get it out to 400 eyeballs. Then you take a picture of your dog eating ice-cream (which took 30 seconds) and BAM! It gets out to 4000 viewers. This is the kind of stuff that drives entrepreneurs and brand builders crazy. That is why this episode is well over due. Practical tips on how to get your message heard! @perfrom_better @mytpi #CoachGlassNextLevel #DreamB

Strap on your helmets! Charlie is back and melting minds as always. You asked for more of Charlie after his first visit so here he is. I called up Charlie to discuss the use of technology to monitor players readiness to perform and provide data to aid in the recovery process. As expected this conversation went deep! Charlie shares how technology should be used in a team and one on one training environments. Focus on communication and education before sharing the results with your athlete and coaching staff. We also discuss Charlie?s topic for the upcoming @perfrom_better Summit Series. Can?t wait to hear the whole presentation as it sounds like a home run! I could ramble on more about the topics we cover or you can just press play and enjoy! Get out a notepad, a dictionary and be prepared to press pause as this is fast a furious and chalk full of mind melting gems. Just the way Captain Transparent likes it! #CoachGlassNextLevel #DreamBig #OverDeliver #BeUndeniable Coach Glass

In this episode we dissect the concept of Functional Training. Some of you are rolling your eyes right now because you have been hearing about this for years and you are either done with it or don’t understand it and think its for the worthless and the weak. “I use to be a functional trainer but now I’m a Zumba Instructor!” “I use to be a functional trainer but now I am a Crossfit Coach!” What? What the hell does that mean? Can’t you be a Crossfit coach and still care about your client’s function while doling out the WOD of the day? Can’t you be a Zumba instructor and still be functional with a smile on your face? Have you just realized that I wrote "WOD of the day” which is like saying "I would like apple pie ala mode with ice cream please?” We go deep into how every coach can be a functional trainer and still deliver kick ass workouts, train large groups functionally and get results. Just because you aren’t functional doesn’t mean that your training also has to be nonfunctional. Listen and learn! Then comme

Many people say that public speaking is their #1 fear in life. For some, they would rather die than get in front of 100 people waiting for them to speak. I was born with a strong urge to perform in front of a crowd. It led me to lecturing and stand up comedy. I have been speaking on stage for the past 10 years and wanted to share some of the tricks of the trade with you on the art of making it look effortless. Whether you know it or not, we are all public speakers. Telling a story at a dinner party or delivering the marketing plan via Power Point to your colleagues. Public speaking is public speaking. The tips I deliver in this episode may shock you! I am telling you the insider tips that the professional speaking coaches won’t share. You can start by not speaking! What? My #1 tip for public speaking is to stop talking. If you don’t, your audience feels like they are bien spoken to instead of having a conversation with you. Taking a breathe in-between points allows the audience a chance to digest the last sta

Nick Winkelman is one of the World’s most respected strength coaches. He works with athletes from all sports but is best known for developing some of the NFL’s fastest and most explosive athletes. I wanted to have Nick on to discuss the NFL Combine and debate the relevancy of some of the time honoured tests. Is it really necessary to have linemen running 40 years dashes? Can a linebacker’s grit, determination and football sense be summed up in agility drill where he has to slap bags laying on the field. Nick goes DEEP into the subject before we wonder off into other topics including the secrets behind Exos helping the German National Soccer team become World beaters on the grandest stage. We also get personal and discuss how we both use hobbies to help us disengage from our crazy work lives and add a little of welcomed mental relief. Make sure that you check out Nick’s presentations at the 2016 @perfrom_better Summit this year! His topic will definitely make you think about the language you use and cues you u

You are a brand. Whether you like it or not you are a brand. It doesn’t matter whether you own your own business or if you work for a corporation. You are a brand and you need to manage the way the world sees your brand. What will I see if I look at your website, your twitter, instagram and FaceBook page? Will I see the best representation of you? Would I leave with a positive and accurate account of what you are passionate about, what inspires you and most importantly what you are selling? If not then your brand isn’t working for you. In fact it is working against you! This episode is all about how to develop a personal brand that is authentic to you and gets out to your target audience. Listen, learn and take a look in the mirror. Do you see what I see? @perfrom_better @mytpi #CoachGlassNextLevel #DreamBig #OverDeliver #BeUndeniable Coach Glass
