Coach Glass Podcast

My pal Greg Redman @wavephysio and I go DEEP on this week's pod. What do we go DEEP on? Screening Olympic athletes and the tweaks that are made to their programs based on those findings. What is really important to performance for our high performance athletes and what you should be doing in your "middle age" years to optimize your performance. As always with Greg you get some bombastic gems that...

This topic needed 2 parts to break it down fully. Part 1 we went into the "why" and formulated some context for the conversation about testing. We discussed the key elements that I test for and what we are specifically looking at. We discussed tools for measuring and whether or not they need to be accurate globally or accurate to themselves. In today's episode we will dive even deeper into the dif...

The start of the 2022 PGATour, NFL, NHL and NBA are just around the corner. This means it is time to test our professional athletes and get a baseline for the year. Testing lets us know where the athlete stands on a functional movement level, strength and power outputs, neuromuscular function and readiness to compete. There are a ton of wearable technologies that you can use to track the progress...

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...

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 poss...

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...

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 rig...

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.

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...

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-han...

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 h...

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 confide...

This episode goes DEEP into the journey as we discuss the pr...

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...

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...

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 retire...

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 se...

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 s...

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...
