The Gametime Guru

Randy Livingston was one of the nation's best athletes growing up. From the time he picked up a basketball he was always winning. His skillset and athleticism allowed him to compete at the highest level at each stage of his life!  In High School, he became a 2x Player of the Year alongside Jason Kidd in 1992 and Rasheed Wallace in 1993.  What happened after that is where the story truly gets inter...

In Brazil, the dominant sport is Soccer (futebol em Portugues), and I always found it fascinating to meet people who competed in sports OUTSIDE of Soccer. It was like everyone EXPECTED Brazilians to all compete in Soccer. That's why I'm so excited to speak with Lucio Martins today on the show!  Lucio competed at the highest level as a former professional handball player in Brazil and today he join...

The Meridian High basketball team hadn't made the State Playoffs since 2006. The culture of the program was not as strong as it should have been, the teams weren't used to winning. Then, Jeff Sanor came into the mix!  Coach Sanor changed the culture of the program from one that expected to lose, to one that expected to win. This past season, he led the MHS Basketball team to the State Tourney afte...

From competing at a young age, Kekoa Nawahine was an athlete who wanted to take his talents to the next level!

My discussion with the former NBA Vet, Jerry Stackhouse about his amazing career! With the average career span for an NBA Player being less than five years, the fact Stackhouse made it 18 speaks volumes to his work ethic and determination. We get to learn from him about what it truly takes to get to the next level! After having coached at Vanderbilt, Jerry is now an assistant coach for the Golden...

If you are anything like I was in sports, a "late bloomer" (meaning, I didn't have the athleticism and body maturity to compete at that next level until after my high school days), you'll want to listen up!  Today I bring on Taylor Bateman, who is the owner and performance coach at Off the Field . He helps train and develop young athletes, as well professional athletes! We'll get to hear more abou...

There are many advantages to participating in college athletics. Obviously you get to compete against others at a high level, and for some, they move onto the next level in their sport after school is complete.  For others, they have to find what's next in life as they transition out of sports and into the "real world."  Derek Wieting joins the show today to talk about his journey. From the early...

There is so much emphasis in power, and explosion when you hear about the "training" aspect of sports. So many coaches from a young age want to see how much weight you can lift and the focus is so often set in on that piece of training, and we happen to neglect the other important aspects of it.  Recovery, stretching, mobility, etc. These are all super important, yet often overlooked, aspects of t...

On Episode 141 of the show, we spoke with Boone Bartlome. Today we hear from the man who was coaching him that season. A man who has the "magic touch" as a coach. Known for turning programs around wherever he goes. A man who opens up about how Boone's accident impacted him as a Head Coach.  Coach Lee Leslie shares with us his journey as a football coach and what he does to help these kids take thi...

From a young age, Boone was an incredible athlete! Anything he did for sports, came naturally for him. He grew up being elite at whatever sport he played and he thoroughly enjoyed it!  From Youth Baseball to Optimist Football, to Rodeo later on in his teens, he just loved to compete at a high level.  After having given football a break while he focused on other sports, in 2013, Boone made a footba...

UFC 249 taking place without fans is one of the biggest events in sports history!  I'll tell you why!

Sports are just as much mental as they are physical. There's a lot one must do to actually train their mind, especially when some of the concepts may seem foreign to them. Like, "Neutral Thinking" for example. This is what Trevor Moawad specializes in. He teaches the power and skill of "neutral thinking." He teaches athletes and trains them on the power of it all. It may seem "different" to the av...

Today I share the story of where my lack of confidence in myself began.  How many of us know of someone (or ourselves) who has all the skill or potential in the world, but never is able to tap into that potential and/or skillset due to the lack of confidence in themselves?  How do we go about instilling confidence in our athletes at a young age so they can perform in sports, business, life, relati...

For fight fans around the world, you know the excitement that fills the house or arena, when you hear the man's voice.

When he talks, people listen!  In this interview with Bruce, the Voice of the Octagon in the UFC, we hear of his backstory. How he has been an entrepreneur for a very lo...

Have you ever heard about the "Shark Mindset?" See, Mr. Walter Bond always preaches how we must have that Shark Mindset. Because Sharks never stop moving!  From his days at the University of Minnesota where he came off the bench for his entire career, to the time he made the NBA and ended up getting into the starting lineup for the Dallas Mavericks on opening night, Walter Bond has NEVER stopped m...

**Don't Forget to Leave me a review on Apple Podcasts** Coaches come in all different forms. Some coaches make a lasting impact on players for the right reasons, and unfortunately a lot of them make a lasting impact for the wrong reasons.  Those who can truly make an impact on their players are the ones who will be remembered forever for the right reasons!  Carl Wilson, is doing exactly that. Tryi...

What we must realize, is the actual dedication it takes to make sure your body is in the right condition to compete at the highest level.  IF the NBA comes back and they want to finish the season in the summer, just how long will it take for the players to come back fully healthy? How much time do we need? Do we need them to have 4-8 weeks to get their bodies right?  Should we risk potential injur...

So today, I'm bringing on a good friend of mine, Bryon Brotzman, to speak about it from his perspective!  Bryon grew up with two older brothers (Kyle, one of his older brothers joined my show back on Episode 55 ) and they all pl...

From all the way when I was a young child until now, at 31 years old, I have ALWAYS found comfort in sports. I remember, the days (really the whole last month) leading up to my church mission, I was SO NERVOUS I couldn't sleep. I had a fear of the unknown. Nobody before me in my immediate family had serv ed a mission and I didn't know what to expect. I wouldn't sleep in my room, I'd have to sleep...
