Coach Glass Podcast

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 m...

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. I...

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...

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...

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 education...

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 do...

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 d...

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...

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?

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...

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 th...

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...

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 stres...

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...

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 greate...

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...

More anticipated than the arrival of Old Saint Nick himself, its the Glass & Gill Show!

Success is a funny thing. If I ask people what they want out of life they often stay they want to be a success. When I dive deeper and ask what success means to them they often reel off a list of things that society deems important. "I will be happy and a success once I get my…" Many spend their lives chasing money, fame, credentials, approval from their peers and loved ones and creating a life of...

There are few more debated exercises in the world of strength and conditioning than the squat. Not whether we should squat or not squat but how? Knees out? Front or back? Ass to grass or avoid the butt wink at all costs? Single leg, split or bilateral? Strength coaches debate these concepts to exhaustion and when they run out of people to debate with they pick fights with other training philosophi...

Having a DreamBIG is like having a craving for your favourite dish from your favourite restaurant. Once you get it in your head you cant stop thinking about it. You want it so bad you can almost taste it. It takes over your entire thought process and no matter what you eat in it's place your appetite is never satisfied. Your DreamBIG is the same. You can accomplish other things, get an opportunity...

Coach Don Fleming is the man that inspired me to be the coach I am today. I was extremely lucky to have Coach Fleming at a time in my life when I was figuring out the world and how I could fit in it. He was my Richmond Hill High School PhysEd instructor and coached me in basketball, lacrosse and life! It is truly a bucket list item checked off to be able to share with my mentor what an impact he h...

In this episode we go DEEP into the Hip Hinge and how rotational athletes can use the deadlift to maintain their posture and rotate with power in their sport. What else could you ask...
