Coach Glass Podcast

We also discuss the journey to owning and operating your own facility through the cultivating cul

At the end of the day we all just want to be heard. Through our voice, work or actions. We want to be heard. But what if the Herd is creating too much noise and your message isn’t getting to your audience? Im not talking about social media (although it still applies) I am talking about being heard by the ones you are trying to inspire, motivate, help or serve. The problem is that even if you were truly heard you have nothing to say! You have a ton to say but maybe you haven’t found your true voice. You haven’t learned how to connect with your community or have neglected to create a community in the first place. In this #DreamBIG episode we go DEEP into finding your voice and getting it out to your community. We are proud to announce the 2020 Mentorship application is now open! https://www.jasonglasslab.com/mentorship Apply NOW!

"Live in the present. The Power of Now.” We all know we need to live in the NOW but many of you or your clients are allowing the past to dictate the actions of the future self. I have worked with countless athletes who under perform due to past failures they carry with them to every event, practice or training session. The past becomes a self doubt barrier that keeps them from having true belief in themselves. "Why should this playoff be any different than the others. I lost last time and I'll probably lose again.” “I cheated on every diet I have ever been on so why even bother trying? Pass the potato salad!” Their lack of knowledge, resources or guidance reduces their ability to turn their hard work into actual progress. Or they are living in the clouds with their hopes a successful future taking up space in their conscious mind that should be reserved for the work that needs to be performed today in the present. Who you want to be in the future is built on the the foundation of the person you are today. Whe

Fat Face Rick, “He Ain’t Weak, Thats The Starting Point!” That line in the Wire changed the way I approached coaching from that day forward. It all made sense when my young student Cliff sat up and looked me right in the eye and said, “It’s this gym Coach! It’s changed my life! I have taken the lessons I learnt with you here into all aspects of my life! At school, if the teacher wants us to read one chapter I do two, do 20 math equations I do 30. When my Mom wants me to do the dishwasher I finish it up, scrub the pots and sweep the floor after. Everything I do, I do more. Its becoming a way of life and Im seeing the results.” I know you are probably thinking this sounds like a Hallmark Sunday Movie but its true. That is why it has had such a big impact on me. I realize that we are all in one way or another at the starting point. Any challenge you take on puts you right back at the start. Knowing the outcome will be what you expect it to be along with some surprises along the way is motivating to say the least

Thank you to all of you who have filled my inbox with “#YOJAY Have you seen @brysondechambeau ? Wow! He put on 40lbs and 20yards on his driver! What do you think?” Yes I have seen him. Yes I have been following and yes I have an opinion. The important thing for you to know is the science behind training for size and speed and whether it is right for you! In this week’s episode we do exactly that. We go DEEP into the science of hypertrophy training vs pure strength training and how it can affect performance both positively and negatively. We also discuss the limitations that you may bump into when training for size and its relationship to your joint ROM and mobility. Will Bryson’s transformation lead him to victory? I can assure you of this… If he wins a major or becomes world number one… it won’t be solely based on the size of his biceps. Mark your calendars! The 2020 Coach Glass Mentorship is starting Sept 11th. This year it is all online and setting up to be the best one yet. More info? We have the 2020 App

The great philosopher Kool Moe D once said,”I go to work like a doctahhh!” In these times of uncertainty and change the one thing that has kept me sane is work. I know that sounds counter intuitive to many people who are out of work, working from home, changing professions or working under new conditions that won’t allow you to work like you use to. I have found that work gives you purpose. Before you role your eyes at me let me define what it means to work. Work means putting time and energy toward a predetermined purpose. (Don’t look that up as a definition because I just made it up to help me make my point) Your work could be finding more work! Your work may be working on your home. I have found incredible sense of purpose and accomplishment over the past months by painting our bedroom, tearing down our fence and planting a hedge, building a retaining wall and renovating a bathroom. I love seeing the finished product! My day job on the other hand involves me training pro athletes who cant compete in their

The World is in chaos, America is burning, businesses are closing. Its time to rebuild. Time to reinvent yourself and the way you go about your business. I am in the midst of a rebirth of my business. My local gym is being reborn. I am excited to inject my creativity into a new project and cant wait to help it grow into something I can be proud of. Its going to take a lot of work but Ive never been afraid of that. Its time we all look in the mirror and ask ourselves, “Am I going to be part of the new norm? Am I capable of change? Am I part of the solution? Am I doing my part to make this a better world?” I encourage all my students, mentorees and Glisteners to leave the world in a better state than you found it. If everyone took that approach the world would be a better place. You have to go through some pain to create change. Whether that change is positive or negative is up to you! Mark your calendars! The 2020 Coach Glass Mentorship is starting Sept 11th. This year it is all online and setting up to be the

I am done with Zoom calls and poorly made Instagram content. Its time for everyone to step it up and get your shit together! I know you aren’t going to take the time to watch a “How To Zoom” video made by someone who is more boring than reading the Zoom manual. So I created this episode on how to Zoom like a BOSS and create online content like Instagram Live that will grow your brand instead of sink your brand. No more, "Can you hear me. I can see you but cant hear you.” We fix the “So we will meet at 9? AM or PM? Are you on Central or Mountain time?” We go DEEP into lighting, audio and video hacks that you can do on a budget. That way you don’t need to use a cheesy generic backdrop. What are you a 5th grader? Get Profesional and take care of the little things that are driving your audience insane. We chat about what its like to work from home with the kids thinking you are a full time chef slash Uber driver. The “new norm” is driving me crazy! Better get use to it! Mark your calendars! The 2020 Coach Glass M

Thank you to everyone who sent in #YOJAYs over the past 2 months. I saw a theme building in everyone's personal stories and questions and felt it was time to put it on wax! I always say that if the same questions keep coming up there are probably 1000’s of others wondering the same thing! In this episode I flush out the topic of how we all need to navigate the “New Norm” and give specific advice to each Glisten’s situation. Topics covered in this #YOJAY: How do you navigate all the free content on social media? How do you decide who to follow and who to remove from your thread? Advice for a young coach entering the fitness industry during this transitional time? How do you compete against the saturated online fitness market? How can I improve my online training platform. What does the Coach do to keep himself sane during social distancing? How do you become a Closer in times like this? How does the Coach plan on being a Closer in 2020? Is there going to be a Mentorship this year? All these questions and so mu

Slings are groups of muscles that work together to create movement, resist movement and assist in controlling the movement created by other slings. It is important as fitness professionals to understand how they work so you can assess their function and correct faulty or compensatory movements created by dysfunctional sling activation. We also need to be able to train the sling systems to maximize their potential to create power.That is what we discuss in this week’s epic episode.

This could be my favourite episodes I have recorded over the past 6 years. I often share with you conversations I record with my mentors. Well it doesn’t get much better than this! I was speaking to my Nana who is 99 years old. The conversation was so impactful I asked her if I could quickly hook up my podcast equipment and record the rest of our conversation. This is a woman who lived through World Wars, the decade long Dust Bowl drought while living on her family farm on the Canadian Prairie, death of her husband, birth of her 3 children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and now great great grandchildren. She saw the first car in her community drive by while on she rode her horse home from school that day. Saw the radio get replaced with the TV and the computer get replaced by the smartphone that she was speaking to me through that day. She has seen it all! To summarize our conversation, she shared the following. The pain people feel today is a pain based on life not meeting their expectations. When you a

Are you a Pro or a Joe? Simple question. One eats sleeps and breathes their passion and the other picks it up whenever they get a chance and then returns back to their regular scheduled programming. Im not judging either way. But I will judge you if you say you are a Pro but you act like a Joe. I much prefer a Joe who acts like a Pro when they get a chance to work on their game. Epictetus once said, “How much longer will you wait to expect the best form yourself?” Can you answer that question? In this episode I get a little fired up! I can’t help it when I see people under delivering on themselves. In their sport, careers and relationships. I share some insider stories on how you can learn from the pros and get big gains in your regular Joe life! Wanna train like a Pro? Want to improve your athletic ability using neuromuscular training?

It is in times like these that you realize that not everyone thinks like you do! To truly help people you need to see the world through their lens. We create circles of people in our niche communities that think like us, train like us, eat like us and be like us. But there are more of them than there are of us! So in this episode I explore some of the different mindsets and ways of life that I have encountered. I share with you all the excuses I hear form people who think being fit and eating healthy is bullshit! "Doing fitness will wear out your joints!" "You only have so many heart beats- you are fast forwarding to the end of the movie by doing cardio" "My wife likes me husky!" "Soft tissue? You are trying to achieve what I already have…soft tissues" "Sweat is salty and my doc wants me to reduce my sodium." "I did a test and it said Im allergic to vegetables.” Please add your favourite excuses for not doing exercise or living a healthy lifestyle below! Coach Glass 2020 Mentorship is going online.

Clinical Psychologist, author, podcaster and good friend, Dr. Bhrett McCabe is my guest this week to help us understand the psychological ramifications of the Covid19 pandemic. Dr. McCabe has always been someone I reach out to when I need to redefine reality. I trust him with my athletes because he doesn’t try to hide from the reality of life but instead encourages you to tackle it head on. You don't need a psychologist to get you in the zone. You do however need a psychologist to prepare you for when the shit hits the fan. Ohh and if you haven’t noticed…the fan needs a cleaning! So lay back on the couch and let The Coach and McCabe give you the skills and the perspective you will need to survive the next few months. Find Dr. McCabe at themindside.com his podcast The Secrets to Winning and all over social media as @DrBhrettMcCabe Coach Glass 2020 Mentorship is going online.

STOP what you are doing! Its time to take ACTION! Things are escalating and its time to put forth a plan of action to save your business or your career. If you are a coach, fitness instructor or therapist you must take action NOW! What you do this week will impact where you will be in 4-6 months from now. I am offering up 3 options for you based on your predicament but regardless of where you are at in your business, personal finances or career you will learn a very valuable lesson if you follow one of the following scenarios. There are 3 types of people in the World. 1. Those who react instantly and make knee jerk reactions to the situation at hand. They receive instant short term relief but quickly realize that their hastiness has created new problems. 2. Those who gather as much information as possible. Weigh the pros and cons and take short term action to elevate the pressure the situation puts them under while they plan their next move. 3. Those who take all the information. Look at the long term implica

If you have been following along with the Coach Glass Podcast you will inevitably found yourself dreaming bigger! A lot of you naturally veer toward the traditional dreams of fortune and fame. There is nothing wrong with that! It is natural to have desires that involve wealth and admiration from your peers. The World is in Covid shutdown! In times like this we quickly realize that fortune and fame give you very little comfort when your loved ones are fearing the threat of illness and potentially death! It doesn’t matter how many zeros you have in your bank account if you can’t spend it on travel or toilet paper. It doesn’t matter how many new followers you have if you lose a loved one. So how important is fortune and fame today? Full blog post on this topic with some tips and deeper insight on my site http:jasonglassperformancelab.com Coach Glass 2020 Mentorship is going online.

STOP! Grab the Oxygen Mask. Place it on yourself and breathe in! This may sound selfish but I can assure you it is not!

"A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they know they will shall never sit!” This week’s podcast is your Oxygen mask! To reset your mind and priorities and prepare yourself for whatever may come your way. Coach Glass 2020 Mentorship is right around the corner. Mark your calendars: June 18-20 in Vancouver Canada.
