Coach Glass Podcast

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

Constant digital distraction is turning your brain to mush! We have more time on our hands today than ever before and we seem to fill our hands with our phones! Podcasts, YouTube videos, music, audio books, and social media apps fill every free minute we have. This is not healthy! Humans are meant to have quiet time. Time to be with our thoughts. What would fill your thoughts if you allowed your mind to be free for an extended amount of time? Im not even talking about meditation here. I am talking about just mowing the lawn, cooking or going for a run without your ear buds in or any other digital distractor. This week I challenge you to break up with your phone. Even if its for an hour. Just put it away and be present in your daily chores. I am guilty of this myself. I am currently writing this while listening to music. BUT IM TRYING! All I ask is for you to be aware and take an honest inventory of your habits. So listen to this episode of the Coach Glass Podcast and then start your digital divorce! GO!!! I w

Can you identify your EGO? Are you aware of how it influences your life and the choices you make? Your EGO is how you identify yourself. It is all your things, accomplishments, labels you give yourself and how you think others see you. Your SOUL, on the other hand, is everything that is not your Ego. How could something that big be so hard to identify? Well to start, the soul has no identifiers. It is a feeling. It is who you are when you peel back the onion of your external life. In this episode I go DEEP into this topic and share some very vulnerable and intimate stories about my life journey. You could say I am speaking from my soul! If you want to truly find happiness and fulfillment in life you need to tap into it! This May I will hold a Mentorship for 10 individuals who are looking to challenge their potential. The Mentorship is designed to push you with your professional and personal development. The end goal is for you to leave with a DreamBIG that is truly fulfilling and a strategy to accomplish it.

Think about the word Undeniable. You will not be denied. You will not deny yourself from expressing your greatness on the world. This term is less about others denying you and everything to do with you not denying yourself. If you are undeniable you don’t have to worry about what others do or dont do. It is all about you and the undeniable mindset. You make a deal with yourself to never deny that gut feeling that wants to break through walls to get what you want like the Kool Aid Guy. Ohhhh Yeahhhh, I made a childhood reference in the middle of setting the stage for one of the most important aspects of this book! Because I had to!  If you want to be undeniable you need to not only decide in your mind but you need to convince your body that you cannot be denied. If you want to be mentally strong you need to challenge yourself physically. You want to be physically strong you need to overcome discomfort with mental determination and will power. I push my comfort zones both mentally and physically on a daily basi

You need to listen to your body. It is trying to tell you something. Maybe it is speaking to you through your skin by creating dry itchy patches. Tapping you on the shoulder with some excessive hair falling loss or dandruff. Maybe your gut is yelling at y

"Dechambeau is the future of golf!" "Revolutionizing the game" "The science of MAT will change the way we train the next generation of golfers!" I could go on but I think you get the idea. If you watched the Arnold Palmer Classic or The Players Championship this past weekend you would have listened to about 192 hours of this jibber jabber. Yes, it is very exciting but we need to put the brakes on for a minute and discus what is really happening. People want to create a world of black or white, red or blue , good vs bad. This is not possible in this debate. This topic is DEEP in the grey minoush of the middle. If I get one more email, text or DM asking me about my thoughts on the MAT (Muscle Activation Technique) and the work that Greg Roskopf is doing with Bryson I will seriously duff my tee shot. 2 Years ago the same messages came in asking, "So what do you think about Coach Joey D? Brooks Koepka's heavy lifting is the future." Where were the emails when Justin Thomas won, who by the way comes from the same

In this episode I share some remarkable findings on how we can prevent cancer and fight it through changes in lifestyle. Cancer came into my immediate bubble to finish off 2020 and has been a focus for our family since. Good news is the cancer scare was just that, a scare, but the rabbit hole we all went down was terrifying. Books, journals and countless doctors appointments put me on an educational pipeline I hadn't anticipated. Im glad it did as we will all be healthier because of it. In this episode I share some of the findings that really opened my eyes to this disease and how we can take steps to reduce the risk of it entering our lives in the future. It is not meant to scare or trigger you. I am just sharing what I have learnt and what I feel you are capable of incorporating into your daily routines and eating habits. Eat Clean: Eat the rainbow does not mean eat Skittles. Eat as many diverse fruits and vegetables as possible. Plants decrease your chance of getting cancer with every bite. Manage Inflamma

Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes. This episode is here to challenge you to change. Change what? Change something! Not because what you are doing is wrong but because you need change to grow! Change ignites, motivates and pushes me to evolve and grow as a person, a professional and as a mentor. I just finished my first Mentorship of 2021 and witnessed 10 professionals embarking on their 5 year DreamBIG. If that doesn't get you jazzed on personal and professional level I don't know what will. You don't have to build a business or change the city you live in. It could be as small as changing your hair style, throwing out your dad clothes and shopping  for new duds. It could be changing your training programs to stimulate adaptation. Get bigger, get smaller, get stronger or get more efficient. Switch it up! In this episode we go DEEP into the process of change. If you are offended by my comedy, keep it to yourself, they are just jokes. If you are challenged by my honesty then act on it by making honest changes in your own life.

The lat is a pretty powerful muscle. Not just in force production but also in it's diversity of function and form. It can pull, tilt, rotate, stabilize control side bend and so much more. For all my @mytpi family I have connected the dots between the latissimus dorsi and its affects on the 90/90 Test, Lat Test, T-Spine Rotation and Pelvic Tilt Test. We also go DEEP into stretching, assessing and developing the performance benefits of the lat. What else could you ask for? We are holding our next Coach Glass Mentorship this May.

I know how you feel. I feel it too. Just when you thought you had it figured out you lost your shit. I get it. Now whatcha gunna do about it? What do you do when you get overwhelmed with stress? Punch something, bitch and moan to a friend, drink like a fish, drive fast and take chances? Its funny when you read that list at how absurd and harmful these coping mechanisms are. But we do them! I want you to acknowledge stress for what it is. Stress is either acute or cumulative. Acute stressors are things that come out of nowhere and knock you for a loop like a cancer diagnosis, sudden death of a loved one or an unexpected catastrophe. Cumulative stressors are things that slowly build over time until they ultimately boil over and make you flip your lid. Both result in physiological, emotional and psychological stress. But you are not your thoughts and your thoughts are not you! You can separate yourself from your stressors and deal with them on your terms. In this week's episode of the Coach Glass Podcast we go D

This episode is for all of you who feel the need to constantly red line life 24/7! You are compelled to constantly maximize your potential. I get it, there are times when you want extra horsepower but to have it at your finger tips you need to focus on your recovery. What if I told you that doing less is more? What if you were able to harvest bonus energy both in your training and mentally in your daily life. Store it up for when you need a boost? F1 race cars have developed a system that takes the kinetic energy and heat from the car to charge an electric battery that can add 160 horsepower to their already impressive 800 horses under the hood. I use a similar technique in my programming to help my athlete's reserve a turbo kick for those moments when the sh@t is on the line! I also use techniques in my Mentorship that allow professionals to reserve some special sauce with their brand, business and personal development for their big launch. We go DEEP into all these concepts in today's episode. We are holdin

The great Geddy Lee once said "All the World's indeed a stage and we are merely playas!" later to be plagiarized by William Shakespeare. Our Frontstage is what we project to the world. Through our social media, the fake smile at checkout, the version we share of ourselves on a first date and the way set up our Zoom calls. The Backstage is reality. It is our authentic self. The one that we hide in fear that someone wont like what they see. In this episode we go DEEP into the murky waters of Goffman's Dramaturgy and encourage you to pull back the curtain and bring your backstage to the forefront. We are holding our next Coach Glass Mentorship this January. Talk about kicking 2021off on a good foot!

At first glance you may think you are good at providing yourself with feedback. That voice inside your head that says your are drinking too much, need to lose 5lbs or thinks your new top is the bomb is not self assessment. That is your ego! Self assessment requires a framework that removes emotion and allows you to objectively analyze your performance. You need to create a framework that stands the test of time and not just in the moment to suit your current needs. Once you have your assessment created you need to report your findings without emotional bias. Each week look at your overall self assessment using categories that measure your performance. In golf you may record post round your assessment of various parts of your game. If you putt good all week give yourself a 8/10 not a 2/10 because you are pissed you missed a putt on 18. Keep emotion out of your analysis. Over the weeks we will see trends. Putting got better, body got sore, energy was stable and attitude decreased. Like wearable technology it wo

In this bonus episode we jump deep into the murky waters of selecting a college and how to navigate the highly competitive world of junior golf. What tournaments should my child play? What college is the best choice for my student? What kind of questions should I ask the coach when interviewing a school? What is needed to make the move from junior golf to college golf successfully? These questions and so much more are answered in this special edition of the Coach Glass Podcast with my guest Coach Melissa Luellen. I couldn't ask for a better person to help us navigate this extremely complex and competitive stage of a junior's development. A little about Coach Luellen: Melissa Luellen is in her third season as Auburn's head women's golf coach in 2017-18. She came to Auburn after spending the previous 13 years as the women's golf coach at Arizona State, leading the program to an NCAA title in 2009. Luellen's coaching accomplishments have earned her several personal coaching honors. After the Sun Devils' NCAA Cha

Coaches, parents, pull up a chair! Junior development involves WAYYYYY more than you think. You may coach golf, basketball, hockey or gymnastics but that is the last thing the junior needs. They need leadership, guidance, compassion and an unbiased ear. You think YOU are stressed right now? Think back for a minute about your adolescence. For many of you this was not only the most awkward and stressful stages but also one of the most life defining time of your life! Now add the stress of COVID and the unknown future of the world they are to one day inherit. In this week's Coach Glass Podcast we go DEEP into the mind of the junior and share some tools that you can use to help your junior through these times. YOU owe it to them! They trust you. Open the conversation with them about how they REALLY feel. "How are things going...." is not enough. It is time for you to be a coach!

Enough is enough is enough! How many progressions can you do with a cable press? Standing on a Bosu Ball on one leg while spinning a Kettle Bell on the non pressing hand with your eyes closed? WTF! Some things just dont need progressions. Each day technology is moving forward by adding new features, gadgets and more pixels. That doesn't mean your exercises have to progress at the same rate. We are consumers who always want more to consume. But there are limitations! How far can you go before you run out of holes to fill? In this episode we go DEEP into the pros and cons of exercise progression and why keeping it basic may just give you the best bang for your buck!

Hey! Yeah YOU! How about you stay in YOUR lane?  I am asking you to do this for your own good. I know it seems like going outside your lane and getting involved in other people's lanes would be more productive but....its not. FOCUS!!!! In this episode I share numerous examples where putting your energy into what you are good at, have control over and what you are passionate about will yield greater output than trying to do it all. Fitness coaches trying to be golf instructors, golf coaches prescribing exercises, players focussing on external locus and the general public using valuable brain space for other people's problems. STOP! Im not saying you shouldn't educate yourself in other aspects outside your world. Just don't think for a minute you will be able to compete with a focussed expert in their designated field. Have an awareness of the changing world around you but dont get mentally and emotionally involved with things outside your control. Save that mental emotional power for yourself and what you can

If you know the Coach you will know that I HATE New Year’s resolutions. The thought of starting something new on the first day of the new year is silly. If this thing that you are committing to was so important you would have started it a long time ago! I have a better idea for you for 2021.  I know a lot of you are carrying anger and disappointment with you from 2020. Just seeing the number 2020 gets the blood boiling. On New Year’s Eve you will have people on social media or 6 feet away from you at your new Year’s outdoor gathering yelling “&$%#@ 2020!!!!”  Don’t put so much energy into it! I have a better idea for you for 2021. I want you to do something different this year. I want you to do a little exercise that I use and I share with my athletes and mentorees. Instead of spending the last day of 2020 thinking about what you want to change I want you to do the opposite. I want you to think about all the things you want to continue. I want you to write down all the positive things you did in 2020. I w

More anticipated than the arrival of Old Saint Nick himself, its the Glass & Gill Show! If you are new to the Glass & Gill Show its a series that is normally recorded while these two buddies travel the globe together and enjoy an adult beverage after 2 days of performing on stage! But in these unique times we had to do it virtually and for the first time you get to Zoom in and see the shenanigans. So grab a festive brew and join us two because traditions are traditions. In this episode we share memories of Christmas past, stories of how we are both navigating the Covid crisis and a ton of holiday fun. We also discuss strategies we both used to pivot our business, navigated virtual training and somehow made it through the past 9 months. Who doesn't need a little comedy, laughter and heart felt banter? From Lance @lgp_inc and myself we want o wish each and every one of you a fantastic holiday season and all the best for 2021!
