The Average to Athletic Podcast

Trying a new thing here - recording the audio for the blogs. Each week I write 5 blogs. They live on Substack at The Daily Sprint. But some people would rather listen than read. So I've recorded the audio version. Each week I'll read all 5 blogs and add in my expanded thoughts or updated opinions as I see fit. This week we went back to the beginning to start with Blogs #1-5. Here are the s...

On this episode I converse with my friend and fellow coach Greg Pignataro. He's a deep thinker and I enjoy his perspective. We talk about if you can be healthy AND elite at a sport or physical ability. And I think we came to a good conclusion. If you like this, I think we'll do more and make this a weekly or biweekly thing. Regardless, I've got plans to make the podcast more consistent...

I had the lovely opportunity to talk to Richard Aceves to learn about his approach to addressing the emotional and physical pains that ail us. Not only does this guy bear a striking resemblance to Clark Kent, he's also a brilliant mind. - We talked about how the muscles and psychology work together, how your training in the gym mirrors your life outside the gym, and how to make your workouts m...

This is the audio recording of a lovely conversation I had with August Horstmann, owner and first generation rancher of Horstmann Cattle Company. I first was introduced to August through the meat he produces and wanted to learn more after hearing his story. So, I asked all my dumb questions. What I particularly liked was his concept of first having a relationship to the soil. He uses cattle as a m...

Julien is a world renown strength coach who's done it all. From competitive athlete to intellectual savant, he's a paradigm breaker for physical training to say the least. We talked over an Instagram Live on everything from the human-prediction system, nervous system function and regulation, lactate, sense of self, Q-1 training, changing the physiology of individuals with ASD, the predicti...

On this episode of the podcast I had the pleasure of interviewing my friend and long time coach Jack May. He's a wealth of information and a beautiful soul!! If you're ready to level up your life and grow past your current comfort zone, don't hesitate to reach out to him - he'll change your world!

Breathing? That's the thing you've been doing since day 1, right? So if there is anything you're a pro at by now, it's breathing, right? Not so fast... Amazingly, most people breathe poorly and suffer a wide range of health issues because of it. And that's what Coach Jordan Potts (Or Pottsy, as I affectionately call him) is here to set the record straight on. As an avid meditator, Wim Hof practiti...

Got a real treat for you today! Anya from @anyasreviews joined me for an IGLive interview that we stripped the audio from for the podcast. This woman lives and breathes barefoot shoes. I thought I knew some stuff about shoes before this, but after checking out her website, doing the foot size quiz, and talking with her, I realize that she’s the GOAT. We talk about feet, shoes, socks, kids, and liv...

In this episode we talk all things feet and footwear... How your feet were meant to function, what criteria make for a good shoe, and why the modern day running shoe actually makes it harder to have good running form. Not all shoes are created equally! Before you go out and purchase the first pair you come across, it’s important to understand how the shoes you wear impact your foot.  Unfortun...

In this episode I chat with my good friend and fellow coach Patrick Searson, all the way from down under in Australia! He's a long time rugby player turned elite rugby coach that specializes in making strong, dominant players - specifically youth athletes who want to get bigger and better. (And no, he's not Hugh Jackman, even if he does look like it!) We talk on training tactics, mindsets, nutriti...

In this episode we wrap up this long, detailed exploration into nutrition. I break down what you should eat and avoid by giving you tactical lists on the best proteins, fats, carbs, and superfoods, and tell you exactly what to NOT eat! Then I discuss the most commonly asked questions like, "Won't eating meat give me cancer?", "Isn't eating meat bad for the environment?" "Don't you need fiber?" and...

On this episode I break down the three criteria you want to factor in when choosing food for your diet. Then I discuss what's actually happening to your body when you eat bad food and make the bold claim that eating plants isn't always in your best interest. It sounds crazy but fiber isn't always your friend. This is a value packed episode that took dozens of hours of research, prep, and writ...

In this episode I dive deep into cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, and the real risk factors you should be aware of! Super information packed and dense at times (my apologies), but highly worthwhile if you’re interested in understanding the root causes of disease. Dozens of hours of research went into this with 10+ hours of writing and editing to get a value rich script. You won’t be disappoint...

Are carbs making you fat? Should you eat a low carb diet? What causes Type 2 Diabetes? Why is your blood glucose and insulin off?!? The answers are in this episode (and so much more!) I know I said this last episode, but this one is my most value packed episode yet! My most researched and studied podcast to date, also, episode 50!! I truly hope you enjoy and get a ton of value. As always, If you n...

I was fortunate enough to hop on an Instagram Live with Ben Patrick this past weekend! He is an incredible mind and the founder of the Athletic Truth Group as well as pioneering a new (old school) way of training not only to get out of knee pain, but to build knee function like you’ve never had before. You can find him on Instagram @kneesovertoesguy. Go follow him, it’s well worth it.
