Coach Glass Podcast

What you do after your training session may be more important than the training session itself! If you want to maximize the training effect from all the hard work you put into your session you need to adopt these recovery techniques! Now before you dive in I need to warn you that this episode is EXPLICIT. We may have gone off the rails a little but I am passionate about this subject. You may need to go into recovery if you make it to the end of this broadcast! Now for the details. We dive into the myth about chocolate milk being the #1 recovery meal, ice baths and cold showers, hydration strategies, BCAAs, mental recovery and its effect on your sympathetic nervous system, and how you start your session impacts your recovery after your session is completed. All this and so much more in this magical romp through the tulips. Enjoy it! @performbetter @mytpi #CoachGlassNextLevel #DreamBig #OverDeliver #BeUndeniable Coach Glass

If you asked me to list the greatest minds in Strength and Conditioning this man would be in my top 3! He is a dear dear friend of mine who I affectionately call my Yoda!  I guess that makes me a handsome Luke Skywalker. I sit down with Coach Liam for a “civilized cup of tea” and turned the mics on for your listening pleasure. He has coached some of the greatest athletes on earth and shares with us the secrets of his trade. Cryotherapy, sleep & travel techniques and how to put your knowledge into practice to enhance human performance. Dr. Hennessy founded Setanta College which is a industry leader in online education for human performance specialists. This man is a University of knowledge in himself and we were lucky enough to have him on the show! So put the kettle on and sit back and enjoy this cup of goodness! @performbetter @mytpi #CoachGlassNextLevel #DreamBig #OverDeliver #BeUndeniable Coach Glass

Lets Go Blue Jays!!!!! This is a chant that Donovan Santas has been waiting to hear at the World Series for the past 15 years! Donovan @bluejaystrength has been with the Blue Jays since the 92’-93’ season when the Blue jays last won the World Series! I remember it like it was yesterday as I was living in Toronto at the time and the entire Nation was chanting that familiar chant! Since then Donovan has been an integral part of the organization and helped build the strength base from the ground up! We talk how to develop a culture in your organization, find balance in life and set priorities over the all mighty dollar. He is my new old friend and I am so happy he cam e on tho the #CoachGlassPodcast. First class coach and an even better father and husband. Who wouldn’t love that! @performbetter @mytpi #CoachGlassNextLevel #DreamBig #OverDeliver #BeUndeniable Coach Glass

Is coffee your friend or foe? This is what @robertyanginc and I discuss in this Episode of the #CoachGlassPodcast! #GrassFedBuddaInDeCoffee Is it a fad or are there real health benefits to adding MCT Oil and Grass Fed Butter to your coffee? Is there a difference between espresso, drip, french press or instant coffee when it comes to caffeine and antioxidants? These are all questions I have been meaning to ask Robert for years so we sat down and recorded our conversation just for you! Its all about the grind!! Pour yourself a few shots of espresso, an americano or a latte and enjoy this episode.

Warning! This episode is an instant CLASSIC! Rachel Balkovec @DamselInDaDugout is the first female Strength Coach in MLB Baseball. But thats not why I have her as my guest on the #CoachGlassPodcast. She is my guest and in the position she is currently in because of who she is as a person. This coach has more inspiration, motivation and intelligence in her little toe than most of us have in our entire bodies! This is an episode that everyone should share with friends who have a daughter, is a daughter or knows someone who was born at some point in their life. Rachel shares her advise for young women coming up in this ever changing world. It made the hair raise on my arms (that look like 6 packs of hotdogs taped together) and pumped me up to go and take my game to the next level! You can imagine what it will do for you! Amazing. She also shares the pillars that her coaching and training philosophy stands upon to help her athletes perform at the highest level. @performbetter @mytpi #CoachGlassNextLevel #DreamBig

I read an article written by our good friend Dana Santas and instantly had to call her up and record this podcast! You need to read this article on CNN as it is one of the most important topics facing young women today and the fitness industry……. might just be the problem! Read the article and then listen and learn!  http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/08/health/women-strength-fitness-body-image/index.html Dana Santas is the team yoga mobility trainer for numerous teams in MLB, NHL, NFL and the NBA, including the Philadelphia Phillies, Atlanta Braves, Tampa Bay Rays, Orlando Magic and Tampa Bay Lightning. @performbetter @mytpi #CoachGlassNextLevel #DreamBig #OverDeliver #BeUndeniable Coach Glass

Coaching is an art. Like all forms of art there are people who dabble, have some success and then there are the GREATS! What makes a coach great? There are commonalities between all great coaches and this episode is all about those qualities! Every great coach has a set of rules, philosophies, tenants, or pillars that their coaching techniques are based on. This foundation cannot be moved, cracked or broken. Games are won, games are lost, players come and go but these fundamental coaching pillars remain intact!  The greats also attack the sport with passion, motivation and clear intent. There are a lot of coaches who know their stuff but the greats have a way of delivering the message at the right time, with the right intensity for the right person in a clear, concise message and easily digestible cues. Some were great athletes in their youth and learnt how to impart their greatness in others by sharing the path that they travelled to accomplish their own success. Others can’t so they teach! There are great c

Sugar, salt, sugar, salt, sugar! These 2 elements are dichotomies that force the body’s taste buds and cravings to bounce back and forth like a game of ping pong! Everyone knows these 2 nutrients cause obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart attacks and cancer. Yet our bodies crave these tasty treats! Can salt be good for you? What if I was to argue in its favour for you to savour!  I just returned from a trip to Scotland where I experienced these 2 evil stepbrothers in full force. Just like America, Britain has fallen victim to the fast food, sugar and salt dense diet that is destroying our society. Their diet is very different to ours but follow very similar traits which I will go into detail on in this episode. There is also a huge movement in Britain toward no GMO, organic veggies, grass fed meats, and a huge increase in fitness participation. I visited some gyms, spoke with leaders in the industry and got a good feel for the direction the fitness industry is going in the UK and it is good! All this

When you think Yoga and Golf Performance you think Katherine Roberts. Katherine has been a pioneer in the golf fitness world by bringing the techniques of yoga to the fairway. You may have seen Katherine on the Golf Channel or maybe you have one of her top selling DVDs in your collection. Katherine has been creating and delivering 1st class content for over a decade. In this episode we talk about how Yoga techniques are not just about mobility and stretching. They actually enhance stability, mobility, mental game, cardiovascular, balance and coordination. All the attributes we want for our golfers. We also talk about Katherine’s Yoga for Golfers and Kinetic Yoga for Sport programs and the concept of being a great performance coach. Check Katherine out on social media @robertsyoga @yogaforgolfers along with our sponsors @performbetter @mytpi #CoachGlassNextLevel #DreamBig #OverDeliver #BeUndeniable Coach Glass 

You never know how the day is going to end up but we can all agree that most days start off the same way. Your morning routine is probably one of the most regimented and repeatable part of your life. It is also one of the most over looked parts of your life! What if you could construct a perfect morning….every morning? What would it look like? Over the past 3 years i have done just that. Customized my morning routine to fit my physical mental and nutritional needs. In this Episode I share with you my morning ritual from my morning training session, daily meditation to my breakfast ritual with #BuddaInDaCofofeeOvaDare. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy it. Some of my elements may fit into your world and some will need your personal touch. The important thing here is to not take your morning for granted. If you want a copy of my PreWorkout Dynamic Warm Up just send me an email and I would gladly sent it your way. info@jasonglassperformancelab.com Feel free to share your morning ritual below in the comments

Money Money Money…… Some people got to have it! Its time to talk about the Bu$ine$$! The art of selling is dead. To make it in this world you need to be able to sell your product, sell your service or sell yourself! To effectively sell you need to know what kind of business person you are! In this episode I break down the 3 types of business people or workers and relate them to the 3 types of muscle fibres in human muscle. Then we are going to give you the skills you need to flex that business muscle!  3 types of business people are like the 3 types of muscle fibres: Type 1 Slow Twitch- Worker bees (#DragonBoater) Type 2a Fast Oxidative Fibres quickly create and use ATP to create powerful contractions- Difference makers! People who push the limits and get shit done. Entrepreneurs and members of teams/organizations that are moving forward at a rapid rate. (#Scott) Type 2b Fast Glycolytic Fibres produce ATP at a slower rate but can break it down quickly! Through intensive training these fibres can act like Typ

The most successful people in the world have 1 thing in common. They all meditate!  It worked for Ghandi, works for the long hitting Dalai Lama, Anthony Robbins uses it to get the whole enchilada, and Tim Ferris uses it to make his 4 Hour Work Week more manageable.  Why should I be any different. Maybe there is something to this ancient art of meditation. I have been meditating off and on since college but recently dedicated myself to daily meditation. In this episode I willshare with you the techniques I use to #OverDeliver in my daily business and still have something left for my friends, family and an ounce for myself. A big part of meditation is visualization which is something I have used my entire career to create a world where I can maximize my potential. Coach Glass also attempts to lead you through a meditation! Listen and learn!!! @perform_better @mytpi #CoachGlassNextLevel #DreamBig #OverDeliver #BeUndeniable Coach Glass

We have all heard of the Stability Mobility Model initially created by @Perform_Better legends and @myTPI Advisory Board members Mike Boyle and Gray Cook. If you are unfamiliar with it just type “Ive been living under a rock” in the google search and it should come up for you. In this episode we are taking this concept to the Next Level. We will discuss how to determine whether the limitation is a stability or a mobility issue and how you can actually bring a stability correction to a mobility restriction and get results! "What? I thought you never bring a stability correction to a mobility limitation?” We also have a not so special guest, Sir Royston Reamsbottom who says that he invented the model a long time before it was made popular here in North America. Listen and learn! #CoachGlassNextLevel #DreamBig #OverDeliver #BeUndeniable Coach Glass

Technology is moving faster and and its helping our athletes move faster! The problem is that some coaches are losing the ability to coach because they are relying solely on the tech and not their gut! The Skyman and the Glassman have been using 3D motion capture, force plates, and launch monitor systems to analyze athletic performance for the past 10 years. It has helped us analyze some of the greatest athletes of the past decade but…….. it is only a tool. The one thing technology will never replace is the coach! In this episode of the #CoachGlassPodcast Lance and I discuss in detail how we use technology (Focus on 3D Motion Capture) to help us COACH! There is a time to share technology with your athlete and a time to use the technical analysis to just validate your gut feeling. A great coach knows when to share and when to shut up! Listen, learn and as always with a Glass & Gill Show, sit back relax and pour yourself a stiff one. We are going on a ride! @performbetter @mytpi #CoachGlassNextLevel #DreamB

Okay so we all know how to strength train and train for power. With @FunctionalMvmt , @SFMA_rehab and @mytpi we know how to screen for function and correct dysfunction using corrective exercises. Sport specific training is all about completing a sport needs assessment and matching your athlete’s physical abilities to the sports requirements. We get it!!! This is nothing new. But what I am sharing with you is new, it is different and it is going to change the way you train your athletes. Next Level Training amplifies your athlete’s performance using minimal equipment, minimal stress on the body and minimal time. In this episode I share the basic concepts of my training program and share some of the elements that I taught at the Chicago @PerformBetter Summit. If you missed my Next Level Training lecture or hands on session you don’t have to cry yourself to sleep on you gigantic pillow anymore ;) This episode introduces the concepts and helps you understand this massive missing gap in performance training.

This could be one of the most important topics in strength and conditioning today. How to train the female athlete. So many fitness professionals provide women with the same exercise programs as they do for their male clients. Others that are switched on enough to design programs specifically for women end up creating programs that don’t take into account the fluctuating hormone levels that occur throughout a women’s cycle. If you truly understand the science behind hormones and the menstrual cycle you can optimize the training effects all month round! Janet Alexander is arguably the World’s top expert when it comes to maximizing strength gains and performance change in the female athlete. Janet and I chat about this “taboo” subject and a whole host of other juicy topics. Come along for the ride! Hope you enjoy it! @performbetter @mytpi http://www.pacificfitnesshealth.com/home #CoachGlassNextLevel #DreamBig #OverDeliver #BeUndeniable Coach Glass

Should you burn your benches? #BURNYOURBENCHES! Is the bench press archaic or one of the most important exercises for expressing push strength? I thought who better to ask than #PowerLifting fanatic and strength coach Bret Contreras. Bret is a very outspoken fitness blogger who isn’t afraid to mix it up with the big boys! We debate the finer things in strength training, rotational power and why he is known around the World as #TheGluteGuy. We also talk about how coaches like Mike Boyle and experts like Dr. Stuart McGill influenced the way we think about rotation and why some of these tenants don’t hold true. (BTW…. Boyle is right!) What does hypertrophy have to do with strength? Is there a linear relationship? Its conversations like this that get me fired up and excited about diving deeper into the world of strength and conditioning. Can’t wait for the @perfrombetter Chicago Summit where I will have a chance to speak with my colleagues and debate these topics in more depth! Listen, learn and enjoy! @performbe
