Coach Glass Podcast

Most people know what they want and what they stand for. But how many of you are crystal clear on what you WONT stand for? I write out my weekly checklist every Monday morning and at the top of each page I write what I stand for and even more importantly what I WONT stand for. Each item on my TO DO Checklist that week needs to fit inside these parameters. An example may be "I will not let other's needs take priority over my needs on this TO DO list!" You decide what is important to you each week and stick to it. In this episode I also share my tips on how to maximize your productivity by mastering the checklist. I know you all have used checklists in the past and many of you are avid box checkers. In this post I want to share some tips that will help you achieve more from your list. Its not what is on the list that matters, its how you write it!  Break your list into categories. Each section represents a specific aspect or responsibility that you have in your daily work life. For me, I start with Players, Aca

This week on the Coach Glass Podcast we have a legend. Martin Rooney @themartinrooney is a coach, author, father, husband, athlete and all around badass. His Training for Warriors brand is one of the most respected and sought after gym franchises in the industry. On the @perform_better circuit he sells out shows and blows the doors off their hinges. His newest book High Ten is a 10/10! www.amazon.com/High-Ten-Inspiring-Building-Culture/dp/111980616X I love this book and recommend it to any coach, entrepreneur, or leader. The jewels he drops have you jotting notes on every page. In this episode we go DEEP into the lessons I learnt from High Ten and what it means to be a leader. We also discuss how to survive in the fitness industry after the post apocalyptic pandemic and what you need to do today to ensure you have a brighter tomorrow. I know this episode will be an instant classic just like our guest! I want to give a special thanks to all the sponsors for their continued support of the show. Perform Better @

My mentor Dave Phillips @mytpidave shared with me the concept of SPACE. Dave said every golfer, and every athlete for that matter, needs SPACE to be successful. SPACE is an acronym for Speed-Power-Accuracy-Consistency-Effeciency. Each of these elements are critical for success in the game of golf. Problem is, most golfers focus on 1 or 2 of these elements and usually the ones they are already posses.  I get it, we all want more speed and power. How many of you work on your efficiency and consistency. Funnily enough, this is what I focus on more than anything when building a performance plan for my athletes. In today's episode we go DEEEP into all the elements of SPACE and I share how to work on the last 3 letters that most of you are neglecting!

I just got off the @perfrom Better Meeting of the Minds Panel Webinar on the topic of Speed & Agility. It was an amazing debate with superstar co-presenters Ian Jeffreys, Bill Parisi and John Graham. We went DEEEP into the topic and I was fired up! I had too much pent up energy and in a silly mood so I jumped off the webinar and turned on the mic to put my thoughts on wax! In this episode we talk straight line speed, adapting speed training to your sport, deceleration training and how not being hugged as a child resulted in me becoming a collegiate running back. Enjoy.

Ian is one of the World's top speed and agility specialists. The first time I saw Ian speak at @perform_better Summit I knew instantly that we would be pals! Humble confidence mixed with kindness and passion. His book, Game Speed is a game changer. In this episode we talk about how agility is not what you think it is. When you redefine agility, it changes the way you train it. Speed? Who cares right? Ummm we go DEEP into his Speed training and how to warm up the body for optimal performance. On August 12 we will be slashing this topic up with @bill_parisi and John Graham on the Perform Better Meeting of The Minds which is a free webinar and Q&A https://www.performbetter.com/meeting-of-the-minds-webinar-series I know you will enjoy my conversation with Ian as much as I did. Anyone who @setantacollege hires is guaranteed gold!They are the best in the biz and Ian makes a nice addition to their legendary staff. What else can I possibly say? Just listen!

There are times in your life when you just need to SEND IT! If you do the proper preparation and master the fundamentals you can accomplish things that defy belief. I experienced one of these feats this past week. I am still blown away from what I saw and I share it with you in this week's episode. Many of you just dip your toe in, fearful of failure and pretend to give it your all. That aint living! Either give it a "full send" or nothing at all! A "half send" guarantees you some bumps and bruises and a feeling of what if. Your worst fears will come true when you only half commit to the task at hand. I get it... you aren't ready to launch yourself off into the unknown with reckless abandonment. That is the last thing I want you to do. In this episode we go DEEP into the process of preparation and mastery of the fundamentals so you can confidently giver a FULL SEND. Could you crash? Absolutely! But life is about taking calculated chances and pushing your abilities to the limit. Take your hands off the brake a

Spencer Tatum @WINTHEDAY10 is one of the top performance coaches on the planet and dear and close friend of the Coach. Years of hard work paid off this season with his long time student Jon Rahm @jonrahm winning the US Open Championship. Jon has had a ton of success on the @pgatour with help from Spencer and his teammates @mytpidave @warriorrestore @thegolfingdoc In this episode we talk about the challenges he faced in training a natural talent like Rahm and insight into developing athletes of all skillsets. We also went DEEP into his business practices and how he turned his DreamBIG into a reality. Spencer and his team at @thp.fit are looking for coaches to help them grow their business so connect with him for more details. http://www.thp.fit I want to give a special thanks to all the sponsors for their continued support of the show. Perform Better @perform_better  http://performbetter.com use code “GLASS15” at checkout to buy your Mace, Kettlebells and bands. MyTPI http://www.mytpi.com/certification/seminar

How communication is not a subject in elementary and high school is beyond me. It could be the most important skill you posses! Got a great ideas? Makes no difference if you can't communicate it. Want to inspire others to join the fight? You better know how to communicate in a manner that makes people take action. These examples are the easy ones. How you communicate with yourself on the other-hand....thats an entirely different beast! In this episode we go DEEP into the art of communicating your thoughts, feelings, coaching philosophies and everything in-between. We then go even DEEPER into the self talk and inner dialogue you have that could be holding you back from true happiness and a life without self inflicted suffering.

July 31st 2019 I promised my Glisteners another 100 epic episodes of the Coach Glass Podcast. Sounded easy enough at the time. 100 is such a nice round number that rolls of the tongue. Look deeper and you realize you are committing yourself to 2 years of delivering podcast magic each and every Wednesday. In this week's episode we look back at the lessons leant over the past 100 episodes. So much has changed over the last 2 years. We introduced YouTube video podcasts to allow the viewer to enjoy my special guests at a deeper level. Added an Instagram Live series called the Oxygen Mask to help our Glisteners navigate the global pandemic. Dealt with the war on distance debate in golf. (Is bigger actually better?) Dropped science on your earbuds with my neuromuscular training philosophy and performance hacks. We started a series featuring my mentors which included leaders that I rely upon in the industry, Mentorship graduates who became my mentors and my high school gym teacher, who is responsible for me being th

Confidence can not be faked. At some point the truth will come out. Your slick fake it till you make it inner dialogue cannot outsmart your gut! Failure breeds insecurity and decreases your confidence in your abilities. Lack of confidence decreases your ability to execute your best work which in turn results in less confidence. It is a vicious cycle. But, you can break it! How do you build confidence? Lower your expectations and get some wins under your belt! In this episode we go DEEP into the process of building confidence and self-worth. Standing in front of a mirror in a power pose ain't going to cut folks. You need the Coach! We talk putting yips, how to walk in a room, comedy and Monty's pudding addiction. Enjoy!

If I could snap my fingers and you are a finished product....would you sign up? Everything you are working toward instantly is complete. Skills you are grinding hard to acquire are yours! You would be miserable! Life is all about the journey not the destination. If you were able to fast forward to the final destination you miss the ride! This episode goes DEEP into the journey as we discuss the process that leads to business, interpersonal and career successes. John Rahm's win at the 2021 US Open pales in comparison from the joy he had on the journey toward his greatest victory. We often get caught up in what we don't have, where we are going instead of where we are at, and wondering why others seem to always be 3 steps ahead. Stop looking around and look inside the person living the journey.

This or that, this or that. You can get with this or you can get with that! The choice is yours. I love Mondays! Turning over the page in my daily checklist notepad. Seeing all the checked boxes and crossed off list items from last week. When you look at the week you just finished you may feel like a prisoner to the duties and responsibilities you have in your business. Before you get all dramatic, let's not forget, you chose to put those items on your checklist! That week is done. Some items from last week were not completed may need to be moved to this week's list while others somehow just don't seem important anymore. The new page waits with anticipation Monday morning for me to start my week. When you look at a blank page you realize you actually have control over what you write on it. You decide whether you are making your player's programming a priority or tackling the month end. You decide if you are filling a 40 hour work week with 63 hours or taking Friday off. You are in control. This week's podcast

We have discussed balance numerous times on this podcast but not like this! I thought it was time to bring someone on the show who is so passionate about balance that he has dedicated his life to the subject! Dr James Spencer @DrJamesSpencer is creating a MOVEment movement. His brand The Bearded Kettlebell inspires, educates and challenges his community to improve their life through balance training and movement. In this episode Dr Spencer and I go DEEP into balance training, nuero-muscular training and the science of keeping your COM over your COG! We also chat about his experience in coaching equestrian and golf athletes and our common love for extreme sports and everything that makes you feel RAD!

Isn't it funny how we will lament over the small decisions in life and flippantly make huge choices without blinking an eye. You spend more time planning your wedding day than investigating whether the  person you are about to marry is worthy of sharing your special day. You read books and take pregnancy classes to prepare you for the day you give birth and wing it when it comes to parenting. The world would be a better place if you read an Idiots Guide to Parenting and decided whether you would be at the head with a towel or the tail with a catchers mitt on the delivery day! Same can be said about starting your DreamBIG or opening your new brand or business. You are so focussed on the launch and put little thought into what happens after the doors are open. What do you want it to look like 1,3 or 5 years after you open. Why did you start it and what do you want to get out of it? Where do you want it to go and how will it end? These are important questions that should come before deciding you want to have you

Life is full of transitions. Changing jobs, careers, partners or where you live can be stressful. But what if you had to transition from being a professional athlete to juggling being a mom and a coach? What if you gave up something that you trained for your entire life and had to recreate yourself in your early 30's. That is exactly what happened to Corine Latreille @corine.moments. Corine retired from Circque du Soleil @cirquedusoleil and found herself in a struggle to find her inner self. Who is the person under the face paint when the lights are turned out on the greatest show on earth? That is exactly what this podcast is all about. Corine and the Coach share stories and strategies on how you can divert your high achieving mindset to another path. How to recalibrate your self image and find new ways to impart impact on the world around you. If you love this episode you can enjoy more of Corine and her journey on her acclaimed podcast Corine Moments on iTunes. I want to give a special thanks to all the sp

Hey what SUP Glisteners? I'll tell you what SUP. Balance. In today's episode I share my experience with Stand Up Paddle Boarding and what it taught me about balance. Balance and proprioception is one of the primary pillars of performance. It is something we often just assume that everyone has. Until of course they don't. I am blown away how many top athletes struggle with balance and pleased to see the performance gains we get from focussing on it. I have a Mentorship graduate @drjamesspencer who has made it his life's mission to enhance lives through balance and hope to have him on the show in the coming weeks. But till then you get the Coach in the raw and my take on balance. We go DEEP into neurology and how the body responds to stimulus in its environment. If you want to come along for the ride, grab a paddle and lets go!

In today's episode you learn to cook like the Coach. Many people don't know that the Coach is not just a passionate lover but also dabbles in the dark art of cooking. Ohh yeah! You want to saute a little passion in your paella? Broil up some heat in your rutabaga? We go DEEP into cooking like a pro from a pro who coaches pros and also cooks. Its all about mastering the basic techniques then adding your own personal spice to make it your own. I share some of my favourite bases and teach you how to transform them into meals your loved ones will rave about. How do you teach people how to cook over an audio podcast? Listen and learn!

This episode I share how the @mytpi Team Approach helped The Champ Mike Weir @mweirsy win his first Champions Tour event. The main focus with Mike from day one has been to create a body that compliments what Coach Blackburn @blackburngolf is doing with his swing. Mike has an incredible work ethic and has always put fitness and health as a priority. My job was to make sure that the work he is doing pays off. Being fit isn't enough. We had to create a body with incredible vertical thrust paired with rotational speed. Mike wants to compete each year at Augusta and for that you need to be able to bomb it. Mike has "feels" or movement patterns that aren't optimal for his swing. We do a ton of nueromuscualr high triplexity work to challenge his nervous system and have it trust the new patterning that compliments the technical aspects Mark is developing in his swing. He struggled with some mobility issues so we brought in mobility guru Janet Alexander @janetalexander1 . Janet had a past with Mike so it was easy to i

Jazz is a true expression of individualism, creativity and freedom. When played well by talented musicians it can be amazing. At times it may sound like there is no structure. In relativity there is incredible structure in jazz. The structure is created in the mastery of the instrument through practice. Scales, drills and fundamentals are practiced at nauseam. Your business and your sport can be seen the same way. Playing golf can be a technical and mechanical math problem that involves biomechanics and physics or it can be a free flowing art form. Just a golfer expressing their greatness on an 18 hole canvas. Your business can be a daily checklist with a static spreadsheet or a dynamic, creative expression of your passions. No matter how you approach your sport, business or music you need fundamentals. If you do the hard work on the fundamentals you will free yourself to play YOUR notes YOUR way!

If you are making the right correction you should see results instantly! I am going to ruffle a few feathers here but I believe good coaches should get instant results. If you change someone's technique and it takes 4-6 weeks to see positive change...you are barking up the wrong tree! There are some things that take time to practice for mastery but you should instantly feel progress. Other things take time for them to develop physiologically like putting on muscle, losing weight or changing tissue but that is NOT what I am talking about here. Im talking about making technique changes in your session, lesson or treatment. You should get results right away if it is the right approach! Be it a golf swing technique change or lifting technique. It should feel better, get better results or create a different outcome from what you are currently doing. Good therapists have a ton of different techniques at their disposal. Applying the right one, at the right time and at the right intensity is what makes them great! If
