Coach Glass Podcast

The Ying Yang of life says you must suffer to enjoy the absence of suffering. You need to lose to appreciate the joys of winning. You need to be thirsty to truly feel quenched. The further the extreme in one direction will create more space for the opposing experience to take place in the other. Live life to the max inside your personal boundaries. Each person has a different level of comfort and require different stimuli to create discomfort. I have a problem with those of you who don't know what yours is. If you fall into this category it is time to push your comfort zone.

The PGA Tour is back in Canada for the RBC Canadian Open and it quickly becoming the ultimate test of golf skills. I love pressure cooker environments. They bring out the best and worst in people. They also allow you to assess your skills. Not only are the golfers tested but their coaches and support staff are tested as well. Perfect environment for learning. Boy did I learn a lot and have a ton of fun! In this week's episode I share some of the performance hacks I learnt and how you can incorporate them into your game!

This week we lost an amazing woman who had a profound impact on my life. She was the matriarch of our family and the principles that she lived her life by have inspired generations. When people look for podcast episodes to listen to, they look for names they recognize in pop culture or experts on a topic of interest. You won't find Nell Glass on Instagram, Wikipedia, or any Google search engine. But I assure you that this conversation will give you incredible perspective and insight into what it means to be human. It has zero references to studies in journals or claim to be the magic pill that will fix all your problems. It will however provide you with insight that you can only gleam by listening to someone who has seen it all. She has lived through World Wars, the Dust Bowl and saw the first automobile drive past her while she was riding her horse to school. The things she has done in her life, allowed her to put what we are currently experiencing into perspective. Rest in peace Nana, you are forever in my

Jealousy is seeing your unrealized dreams in others. Imposter Syndrome is trying to be someone you don't believe you deserve to be. Both of these make you look outside of yourself and compare what you see to your true self. You will only be jealous of things that you feel are attainable. You aren't going to be jealous of Bill Gates but you may be jealous of Bill in your office who got the promotion over you. Imposter Syndrome rears its ugly head when you put yourself into situations over your expertise or if you feel that you have presented yourself to the world in an inaccurate way. Jealous people are usually not willing to do what it took for the person they are jealous of to accomplish the same thing. Imposter Syndrome occurs most often to high achiever perfectionists that never feel like they have mastered their craft. So which one are you? Listen and learn.

We want growth. We are hardwired to progress and move forward. Some of you are built to DreamBIG while others like to keep it safe and avoid change, but you still crave growth. This episode we go DEEEEP into the concept of adding friction to your life for the sake of growth. You cant grow without effort, stress and a little friction. Friction can create unwanted blisters which turn to calluses which allow you to handle more friction. You have to choose the type of friction that will illicit the right kind of growth. You have to earn those calluses and this podcast will give you the tools to do just that! Enjoy It! Need guidance and mentorship to help you accomplish your DreamBIG?

On the last episode I shared some personal feelings I was experiencing that I can only describe as the "Post" Covid Blues. A lack of drive, joy , and overall motivation to attack life. I knew that it was temporary but at the same time meaningful. Now that I am on the other side of this mental state I can share some perspective on not only what I was dealing with but more importantly how to get out of it. I realized I was falling in to the trap of trying to keep up with everyone's highlight reel on their social media. Somehow I wasn't doing enough in my business, comedy and overall ability to crush life. I felt that whatever I was doing, watching or enjoying was somehow the wrong thing which left me an overwhelming sense of missing out. The key to eliminate this was to disconnect from the source of my FMO. Turn off and tune out the noise. The next step was to reconnect with positive people in my life and enjoy the simple things. I took my kids to San Diego and spent 4 days surfing with my pal Robert Yang and e

This is not a regular Coach Glass Podcast. I wont judge you if you choose to skip this one. Its just the Coach talking about the post Covid blues. Lack of motivation hits me like waves on the California coastline. Some days its 6 foot over head and other days its a ripple in a puddle. When I think back to the grinder I was before the pandemic I realize my lifestyle wasn't sustainable. Working 10 hour days, travelling the globe every second week and squeezing everything I could out of life was who I WAS. The new Jay is getting less done and struggling to find the motivation to achieve that which I once had. I hear this same story from my friends, colleagues and family. Just an overwhelming sense of meh! So this episode is me talking it out and hope it helps you if you are also feeling unmotivated to crush life. Next week....the solution! Enjoy?

When you apply a stress to the body the body adapts. So thats what we do. We create programs that stress the body. The bigger the stress the bigger the adaptation. But what if instead of making exercises harder, we made them easier? What if you could produce the same amount of work with less effort? Wouldn't that make you a better athlete? As a strength coach I add resistance. As a performance coach I make you move that resistance with less effort. More efficiency! Like Tai Chi!

Life is never black or white. We live in the grey. Rules however, need to be black and white. It is your job to decide where on the spectrum your actions will sit. We live in the greys and browns but judge others on the extremes. "Look at that asshole speeding past us like we are standing still!" while you are driving 15 over the limit. "I cant believe that person is not wearing a mask!" While yours is hanging below your nostrils. "Look at her eating a dessert, no wonder she is overweight!" while you sip your 3rd glass of wine. The problem comes when you are living a contradiction. When what you say and what you do conflict. In coaching I love extremes. I teach my athletes to feel the extremes and then execute somewhere between. Want to hit it straight? Lets learn how to hit slices and hooks. Wanna learn how to use your legs in an Olympic Lift? Do a shoulder press without the legs followed by a jump press! Want to be more open minded? Try living the other side of your belief structure for a day. They are righ

Would steroids help you play better golf? Isn't the idea of golf performance training to maximize power and speed? Every sport that requires maximal power and speed output has to watch for athletes cheating. Most common forms of performance enhancing drugs include anabolic steroids and growth hormone. Bigger, faster and stronger in a pill! So why would golf be any different? Anyone who has played competitive golf would know what it feels like to to grind over a 6 foot putt to either win or make the cut. Bad time for roid-rage! But you could technically use steroids for a cycle, get your "gains" and then ween yourself off in time for a Major. But, in today's game with FedEx points on the line each week it is critical that you compete 20 plus tournaments a year. No time for bulking season. One benefit and probably the most valuable benefit of steroids is the recovery benefits. Recover from injury, fatigue from travel or train before and after intense range sessions. But what are the side effects? What about Tes

Is your grip strength important? YES! Should you train for better grip strength? NO! Is GRF (Ground Reaction Force) the future of golf performance? NO! Is it valuable to measure it and is it trainable in the gym? YES! Do I have to listen to this episode to find out why? YES!!!! These are a just a few of the #YOJAY questions that have been blowing up my DM's. I thought that I would address these topics this week and go DEEP into how these concepts could be the difference maker in your programming. Listen and learn!

Acquiring a new skill is one thing but mastery? What skill are you a true master of? Master chef, kung fu master, or a debate master? I know you practice often but to be a true master debater you need to push yourself outside of your comfort zone. I am a master coach, master at public speaking and master of my domain. Each of these skills took 20+ years of hard work and continually pushing myself to the brink of failure. What skill do you want to master? Are you willing to put in the time and dedication needed to be a true master? There are a ton of shortcuts and in this episode I share skills that I took short cuts on and quickly hit my ceiling of potential. Learn from my successes and failures. That is what this podcast is all about. Enjoy! Want to master your speaking skills or need guidance and mentorship to help you accomplish your DreamBIG, we have a group starting up this month.

So you want to be a professional public speaker? This is the podcast for you. Ohh you just want to be able to speak publicly without defecating in your trousers or throwing up on the front row of your audience? This podcast is for you. Im sorry, I miss heard you, you just want to be a better communicator and want to get a word in edgewise in your social circle? This podcast is for you. Being a world class presenter and holding court at a family dinner actually require the same fundamental skills. We have all been in seminars or conferences (remember those?) where the speaker was an industry leader on the topic but failed to deliver it in an entertaining manner. Or you were at a dinner party where a couple shared their story about their trip to New York, "No, no, no you tell this part honey. You tell it better." "Okay as long as you share the story about the subway guy!" "Okay Pumpkin Buns!" Come on people! Put some pizzazz in it. You have to learn the art of story telling. Even if you are presenting on the pr

Anything that is worth achieving requires sacrifice. It can be time, money, effort, security, or your sanity. The key is making the right goal and understanding the consequences and sacrifices it will take to acquire it. If you want to have a world class BBQ you need to marinate the meat first. Dry rub or vinegar based doesn't matter. It just needs the right ingredients for the right amount of time to get the desired outcome. Whiskey and wine aged in a barrel will yield the best results. Age them in your bathtub and you will have hobo hooch! So the environment matters. Once you test the outcome you need to make notes, adjust the recipe, time and setting and tweak the next batch. Life is the same. Anything you are passionate about requires the right ingredients, skill and time to marinate. Relationships, raising children, growing your business, mastering your golf game, sculpting you body or balancing your life, all take marinating to get it right. Problem is, nobody got time for dat! We want it now. "I want a

Hi, my name is Jason Glass and I go by the pronoun COACH! What does it mean to you to be called Coach? Everything. You cant give yourself the name Coach you have to earn it. Like George Costanza trying to give himself the nickname "T-Bone". It just wont s

What motivates you to get up each morning and do what you do? Something is driving you to push yourself out of bed. What is it? Do you even know? Motivation is a tricky subject. What motivates you is very personal and unique to you. Some of you have very clearly defined goals and each day you take focussed steps to acquire your goal. Some of you just do it because you are simply use to doing it and don't know any other way. A few of you have lost your way and no longer feel motivated to do anything. Is it in our DNA to be driven? Are some people just wired that way? I go through times when I am highly motivated and excited to get in the office each day. I also go through times where I feel lost and just going through the motions. Lucky for me I have been able to identify what drives me and how to get out of a rut if I happen to fall into one. For me its about purpose. If I have purpose I have motivation. In my Coach Glass Mentorship we explore through our lessons and assignments, each member's purpose and wha

Everyone wants more speed. I have lectured for over a decade on rotational power as it was the hot topic on the sport performance circuit. Now it is all about speed. These 2 topics are basically talking about the same thing. Where we focus the lens may change but it is still about hitting the ball farther. Kinematic sequencing, ground reaction force, rotational plyometrics, neuromuscular training or all out power. Pick your poison and then jump in the rabbit hole with both feet! In this episode I share my philosophy on speed training and the tools I use to activate the athlete and measure the speed they produce. I also debate the various training protocols that are quickly becoming the doctrine. The authors of these programs may not like what I have to say but if I can't stand on my soap box and put my 2 cents in...why do I have a microphone? All the protocols I share from each organization work. You can try them all and let me know which one works best for you! If you want to get in the speed game I have som

The Ying Yang of life states that with every positive there is a negative. If you want to achieve anything big, it will come with great sacrifice. I always talk about creating your DreamBIG. A dream so big that the thought of it coming true raises the hair on your arms. The question is...what are you willing to sacrifice to get it. There are countless stories of entrepreneurs who have a dream to be rich, famous and successful. Once they achieve this dream they are left lonely and unfulfilled. In their wake is divorce, isolation and broken relationships. Their sole focus was on the prize as they neglected to consider what it would take to get it. I find this phenomenon in the "GRIND" community. 'You have to get up at 4am and workout before the world wakes up. GRIND!!!'. Leaving your partner to wake up to an empty bed. 'You have to work 12 to 15 hour days. GRIND!!!' Leaving your family eating dinner every night without you. 'You have to cut people out of your life that are holding you back from achieving your g

Mental Health is one of the most important issues facing the human race today. Obesity, racism, violent crime, substance abuse and suicide can all be linked to mental health. Somehow all the aforementioned topics are open for conversation but mental health is still this topic we tend to shy away from. If anything, it should be THE topic as it is the source of all the other issues. Many people feel weak or ashamed to ask for help. I have always said that the strongest thing you can do is to acknowledge your weakness and work on them. In Canada we have Bell Lets Talk Day on Jan 26th to bring awareness to mental health. I think everyday is a Let's Talk Day. In this episode I share some thoughts on how to identify and reframe your life so that you can start the process of healing. Its like a workout for your soul!
