Home Court Health with Tom Foolery

Most athletes overlook a crucial secret: true power and response start from the center — specifically, the spine and mind. In this dynamic conversation, my good man Matthew Michael Koman circles back to share from his well of experience. From the jump, we explored how reconnecting with your core — physically, mentally, and energetically — can transform your reaction time, resilience, and overall p...

This topic has been hugely helpful in seeing through many of the wizard games being played out on the world stage lately ... When you ask questions like: "What if the entire game is projected to disempower you, shielded by words, legal tricks, and social engineering?" You can approach current events with a skepticism that reveals ways in which we can choose an opposite response to the proposed out...

Liev Dalton has long populated my instagram feed with his brilliant and emphatic presentation of the Terrain Paradigm of Health. Strolling in the snow-covered woods of Canada, he often reflects on just how uneccesarily complex the health space has become, and how to choose simplicity as its antidote.  In this episode, we explore the profound principles of natural law, the power of simplicity in he...

Most of what we’re told as “current events” are stories that have already been shaped, curated, and spun long before they hit our screens. In this episode, I reflect on the behind-the-scenes manipulation of media, news, and social engineering, revealing how storytelling often outweighs truth—and how that impacts your understanding of reality. When you realize much of what is presented as “the worl...

In this episode, I'm exploring the themes of masculinity and male initiation through the lens of classic films...  It dawned on me recently that we are suffering from a lack of quality movies that portray stories we can all relate to from a meaning-standpoint, not necessarily plot. Men in particular are given nothing but egomaniacal or weak or violent displays of "masculinity" that reflect to them...

From hip-hop hypnosis to surfing waves, follow us on a journey of transformation and truth... My introduction to Al Dawg and his colorful commentary came from the inimitable work of astrologist-extraordinaire, Robert Phoenix. Their series (Sirius Sports) became my lifeline for awhile to the socio-spiritual impact of American sports. There is no doubt that sport and music have come to be the major...

It was a thrilling and fulfilling time spent talking with Dani Katz ... I all ways enjoy her unique brand of communication, and her energy even virtually is deeply felt. Dani continues to make great personal and professional strides in making an impact through the medium of language, wielding it skillfully and compassionately to unify our human spirit in this age when it is tested so often... My i...

My first encounter with Dawn's work was via What Really Makes You Ill? My latest encounter with hearing her present at Confluence on the powerful union of conscious mind with conscious language, a revolutionary yet simple practice. From these two connections, Dawn nudged me along the road to self-empowerment, particular through her inimitable style of blending ideas about the nature of realm with...

Do you observe holy days? Or do you ride the wave of holidays? I think we've all done both over the course of our lives: being mystified and excited by holidays, and then caught up in the sheer repetitive, mundane expectations of holiday commitments. Much of this has been manipulated by the monster of Commercialism, which has turned the nobler elements of certain celebrations into yet another occa...

"Are you watching closely?" This chilling phrase from the fantastic film The Prestige reminded me that even if our attention is fixated on the performance, we are liable to miss out on so much more... While our attention and awareness can seem limited, it is our discernment that is needed now in spades to win the games being played without our conscious consent. One such game is the Us vs. Them ga...

'Tom's Truth' episodes are short(er) reflections on current events, trends, ideas, imaginings, techniques and more... The brevity aspect is a good standard for information that is useful and timely, so I hope you enjoy this shallow dive into the Pool of Podcasts. In this edition, I share some anecdotes about the power of Smell: how we dull our energetic senses whenever we suppress the environment...

There's a shortlist of people these days with whom I can stoke the fire of a hot-topic conversation like Major tennis ... Emily is on that list. If you find yourself in a casual fling with tennis, or in a full-on love affair, there will be ample pieces for you to chew on throughout this conversation. Emily's dynamic ability to turn perspectives all the way around keeps the stale world of tennis me...

I must admit: this installment of HCH is a bit of a rap, rant and riff ... such is my experience lately.   This Summer has been the quintessential height of activity: sweating, striving and seeking more ways to connect with people and playing all the while. Still, there is no shortage of "happenings" in the World, and I often encounter the consternation on the faces around me that makes me think,...

So much has yet to be said - and still to be written - about the EPIC showdown between the stunning superstar Carlos Alcaraz and his friendly foil, Jannik Sinner...   As someone who has been both a fan and a student of the artistry of tennis, this match belongs among the annals of truly great battles. This episode had been brewing for some time since I took a night and morning to watch the Final.....

When I saw that Mark Gober was slated to be a keynote presenter at Confluence this year, my excitement was stirred even more, because I knew he would be packing a punch...   In his seamless style, Mark does more than simplify the biggest issues of our age: he re-models them, so you can hold in your hand an idea like the Cosmos, turn it around and see it from many different sides. That practice is...

It is my distinct pleasure to introduce my World to the legend of Lauren Riddei...   Lauren and I met over a popsicle freezer at Confluence, and from the jump, she had this lean-in persona that was contagious (in a good way). Just a few weeks on, we've had several dynamic conversations that supported our desire to share our mutually convergent stories...   This truly is a story-telling show, and L...

Coach Tony Holler had me from the jump with his outstanding mantra and branding of FEED THE CATS Now, how does one feed the cats, you wonder? Tony's philosophy after decades in basketball and track coaching in Illinois formed under the conditions of an epiphany, when he realized that cats require the conditions to support their natural speed and spring, something we as upright cats also possess......

From the Hill Country of Bandera, Texas, I found my people! They came from all across the Earth to convene for many purposes, not least of all being the purpose of Conscious Community Building. It was such a tremendous gift to dive right into the deep end in each and every conversation with fellow Truth-Seekers, Healers, Creators, Leaders, Nurturers, Teachers and Students alike ... We were blessed...

Coming to you live & direct with the Saturday musings of the Fool...   Plenty of happenings have made me smile with a sense of humility and hilarity at the circumstances of my life. There is no shortage of revelations that come from an inquisitive nature, and as someone better than me recently said, "My open mind is closed for repairs."   Sometimes, it pays to sit in silence with the questions tha...

Amidst the excitement of making the shift to HOME COURT HEALTH, I was plagued by feelings of despair...   At the risk of sounding melodramatic, this was a very real sensation of inaction and doubt that made me feel as though things really were not meant to go my way.   A temporary stop on the path to greatness? Perhaps. Still: a very authentic encounter with the Dragon of Doubt recalled my memory...

A coach's sphere of influence makes a massive impact on so many other circles, rippling out into the world from all ages ...  As head coach of Baylor University's men's tennis team, Matt Knoll was tasked with using his coaching acumen - from study and experience - to sustain a winning presence. Based on this conversation, it would seem he did just that, and much more... It was especially gratifyin...

The tennis world is all the richer for having Dave Anderson developing the talents of the future in Texas, and beyond... By now, you will all know that I have a keen desire to explore the characteristics of impactful coaches, men and women who make a significant difference to plant seeds of wonderful growth in their fields. From the first interview I heard with Dave, I said to myself: "HERE is a g...

What great fun it was to have Emily Moyer BACK for a discussion about our shared love of TENNIS! With the Australian Open in the books, it was perfect timing to take the temperature of the tennis environment and evaluate the conditions - mental, cultural, physical, etc - of the game. This being our first tennis-tilted-talk, we cover a broad swath of topics, setting the tone for future conversation...

If you are as yet unacquainted with the fascinating field of Fascia, I would like to welcome you to that journey of self-mastery... Thanks to Brooke, my own awareness of fascia - coupled with a MIGHTY breath - has been rapidly expanding, with practices and principles that are leading an evolution of potential for our bodies to express their highest gifts. Despite some audio impairments, Brooke and...

This new era of shifting paradigms would not be complete if we lacked a deep toolbox with which to build...

As a seasoned homeopathic practitioner, Lisa is equipped to doll out significantly healthful advice to those brave enough to listen - and I believe that includes YOU! See...
