This week on Leave Your Mark, I sit down with Chris Chapman, a veteran Strength & Conditioning Coach, Sport Scientist, educator, and outdoor adventurer whose career has spanned eight Olympic quadrennials, multiple sports, and the rapidly evolving world of performance technology.

Chris currently serves as the Lead Strength & Conditioning Coach for Canada's Slopestyle and Big Air Freeski Team, while also working as a Sport Scientist with WHOOP. Over the course of our conversation, we explore a career that has taken him from traditional Olympic sport environments to startup culture, innovation, and entrepreneurship.

We discuss:

• Growing up with dreams of becoming a fighter pilot, video game tester, and martial artist
• How martial arts shaped his approach to coaching and life
• The role nature plays in his mental health, creativity, and personal growth
• Lessons learned working across eight Olympic cycles
• Building trust and buy-in with athletes in high-risk sports such as freestyle skiing
• Why context matters more than absolutes in coaching
• The transition from high-performance sport to the technology sector
• Product development, innovation, and the realities of bringing new ideas to market
• Mentorship lessons from legendary Canadian coach Chris Delcin
• The importance of humility, kindness, and choosing your battles wisely
• Why innovation often struggles inside large organizations
• His vision for creating a nature-based training and wellness retreat in Northern Ontario

Chris is thoughtful, reflective, and deeply passionate about helping people perform at their best. Whether you're a coach, therapist, sport scientist, entrepreneur, or simply someone trying to build a meaningful career, there are lessons in this conversation for you.

Enjoy the conversation.

One of the biggest mistakes in ACL rehab is thinking that “return to play” means “return to performance.”

Last week in Ottawa, I spent time with Matt Jordan diving into the use of force deck data, asymmetries, compensations, and how athletes often return to sport while still carrying significant movement adaptations underneath the surface.

That’s the challenge with ACL injuries. The knee is never truly “normal” again. There is a lasting proprioceptive change that athletes need to continue training and reconnecting to long after the rehab process appears complete.

What I’ve seen over decades in sport is that unresolved compensations often become:
• recurrent knee injuries
• opposite side ACL tears
• SI joint irritation
• hip tightness
• low back pain
• movement inefficiency up the entire chain

In this EP, I spend some time just talking about some of the things we need to think about as practitioners if we want to create better outcomes.

Enjoy!

For almost four decades, Rob Panariello has been one of the most respected voices in strength and conditioning, rehabilitation, and sports performance.

In this episode of the Leave Your Mark podcast, Rob and I dive deep into the evolution of sports medicine, the integration of rehabilitation and performance, and the lessons learned from a lifetime spent coaching, teaching, mentoring, and building.

Rob shares his journey from Brooklyn street sports to becoming a dual-certified athletic trainer and physical therapist, working at the renowned Hospital for Special Surgery, helping pioneer progressive ACL rehabilitation strategies, and eventually building Professional Physical Therapy into one of the largest rehabilitation organizations in the United States.

We discuss:
• The evolution of strength and conditioning over the last 40 years
• Why mentorship and relationships shaped his career
• The importance of critical thinking in rehabilitation and performance
• Balancing entrepreneurship, family, and professional sport
• What young practitioners need to understand about working in elite sport
• The value of intensity, quality, and individualized programming
• Why true success is built on consistency, humility, and doing the right thing

Rob’s perspective is grounded in science, sharpened through experience, and delivered with the honesty and wisdom that only comes from decades in the trenches.

This is a masterclass in longevity, leadership, and high-performance thinking.

EP 476 of the Leave Your Mark podcast features entrepreneur, esports founder, and lifelong sports enthusiast, Caleb Cousens.

Caleb Cousens grew up in a passionate soccer family and developed an early fascination with sport, performance, and business. From becoming employee number one alongside the CEO at Fortius and helping build one of Canada’s premier high-performance environments, to moving to Germany in pursuit of love and starting over in a new culture, Caleb’s story is one of growth, adaptability, and entrepreneurship.

Over the last eight years, Caleb has built businesses in the esports space while navigating the intersection of sport, technology, media, and leadership. In this episode, we dive into his upbringing in a homeschooled entrepreneurial family, lessons learned from building companies and teams, and the realities of raising children in a technology-driven world.

We also explore:
 • The evolution of esports and gaming
 • Leadership and relationship building
 • Parenting and screen time in the modern era
 • The value of live experiences and meaningful human connections
 • Confidence, culture, and personal growth through entrepreneurship
 • Building businesses with integrity and purpose

This was a thoughtful conversation about sport, business, technology, fatherhood, and the importance of staying grounded while building in a rapidly changing world.

In this solo episode of Leave Your Mark, I reflect on the deeper meaning of action, possibility, and the danger of waiting too long to live the life we know we are capable of living.

Inspired by Mother’s Day weekend and a walk through old photographs and memories, I explore the reality that most meaningful things in life begin long before we ever feel fully ready. Parenthood, relationships, creative pursuits, career shifts, difficult conversations, and personal reinvention all require us to move before certainty arrives.

This episode is a reminder that life is not simply about outcomes or achievements. It is about participation. Exploration. Experience. The joy, heartbreak, frustration, growth, and meaning that come from fully engaging with the opportunities life presents to us.

Throughout the conversation, I reflect on the importance of presence, the illusion of “better timing,” and why action itself is often the pathway to clarity and purpose.

If you’ve been hesitating on something important in your life, this episode is for you.

Because eventually, time runs out for all of us.

The question is:
What will you do today?

What does it truly mean to build relationships that matter?

In this episode, I sit down with David Homan, founder and CEO of Orchestrated Connecting, Orchestrated Opportunities, and SOAR CONNECT. David has spent over a decade developing a powerful methodology around what he calls Orchestrated Connecting—a system designed to create meaningful, trust-based relationships that extend far beyond traditional networking.

From his early roots in music and composition to becoming a global “connector of connectors,” David shares how his unique path shaped his perspective on community, trust, and contribution. We explore why most people misunderstand connection, how transactional relationships erode trust, and what it really takes to build something enduring in both life and business.

This conversation goes deep into the human side of performance—where generosity, curiosity, and patience become the real drivers of opportunity.

We also touch on:

•  Why trust takes years to build—and how to accelerate it the right way 
•  How to identify one-sided relationships before they cost you 
•  The difference between networking and genuine connection 
•  Why success without contribution ultimately falls short 
•  How small acts of generosity can open unexpected doors 

If you care about building a meaningful career, a strong network, and a life grounded in purpose, this one will resonate.

In this episode, I sit down with Darrin Smith, clinical athletic trainer at Colab Concierge Physicians, to explore what it really means to help people move forward with clarity.

Darrin’s work sits at the intersection of musculoskeletal care, movement programming, and human connection. His approach is simple in principle but powerful in execution: meet people where they are, bring them into the process, and build plans that reflect their goals, their lifestyle, and what truly matters to them.

We unpack his journey from higher education to integrated healthcare, including over two decades as a clinician, professor, and program leader. Along the way, we explore the evolution of his thinking, from traditional models toward a more individualized, needs-based approach to care.

This conversation goes deeper than systems and strategies.

We talk about burnout and the importance of boundaries in a profession that often demands too much. We discuss mentorship and why developing thinkers is more important than producing technicians. And we explore how personal adversity, including Darrin’s experience with chronic illness, reshaped his perspective on health, teaching, and life.

We also delve into the practical side of his current work, including the development of an integrated screening and care model that brings assessment, rehabilitation, and performance together under one roof.

This is a conversation about growth, adaptation, and staying curious enough to evolve.

Because in the end, better outcomes come from better questions.

Over the past few years, something has been shifting.

Not all at once. Not loudly. But steadily enough that it became impossible to ignore.

In this solo episode, I share a more personal reflection on where I’ve been, what I’ve been feeling, and the decision to step into a new chapter of life and work. It’s a conversation about isolation, purpose, and the tension between building something meaningful and feeling connected in the process.

I talk about the evolution of our work in education, the changing landscape of how people learn and connect, and the reality of navigating a world that moves faster than ever. But more importantly, I explore what happens when you start asking yourself better questions. Questions about alignment, about community, and about what you actually want your life to feel like.

This episode is not about having all the answers.

It’s about being willing to move forward without them.

It’s about recognizing when it’s time for a change, and having the courage to take that step.

And it’s about the opportunity to begin again in a way that feels true to who you are now.

If you’ve been reflecting on your direction, your work, or your sense of purpose, this conversation may resonate.

This is the next adventure.

As always, this episode is brought to you by ReconditioningHQ.com, where we help you own the grey area between rehab and performance.

This week’s solocast is a personal one.

A reflection on a stretch of time where everything seemed to converge at once.

A return to places and people that shaped my early career.
A realization that something in my current life needed to change.
A family decision to step into a new chapter.
And a moment that brought it all together in a way I didn’t expect.

Over the course of a single weekend, I found myself reconnecting with old colleagues and mentors, revisiting the environments that helped define who I am today, and being reminded of something easy to lose sight of when you’re deep in the work…

Connection matters.

Being around people who are striving, learning, and growing matters.

And if we’re not careful, even the best intentions can slowly lead us into isolation.

I also share the experience of watching Raye live in concert, and how her message of resilience, honesty, and hope landed at exactly the right moment.

Sometimes the message finds you when you need it most.

This episode is about recognizing when something is off, having the courage to make a change, and trusting that even in uncertain moments, you are being pointed in the right direction.

It is also a reminder of something simple, but powerful:

Never give up.

Everything is going to be alright.

If you’ve been feeling like something needs to shift in your life, this conversation may resonate.

What does it take to carve out a place in professional sport when your profession isn’t yet fully accepted?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Alan Palmer, a chiropractor whose career has spanned nearly four decades and whose work has helped shape the role of chiropractic care in professional sports.

From a back injury that changed his path…
 to working with organizations like the San Francisco Giants and Phoenix Coyotes…
 to founding and leading the Professional Baseball Chiropractic Society and Professional Hockey Chiropractic Society…

Alan’s story is one of persistence, professionalism, and playing the long game.

We talk about:

• How one injury led him into chiropractic and sports medicine
 • The realities of earning trust inside professional sport environments
 • The importance of staying in your lane while contributing at a high level
 • Building organizations that outlast your own career
 • Balancing family, practice, and ambition over decades
 • What it really takes to elevate a profession within elite sport

This is a conversation about more than chiropractic.

It’s about credibility.
 It’s about relationships.
 And it’s about doing the kind of work that quietly moves an entire field forward.

If you’re a practitioner working in the grey area between rehab and performance… this one will resonate.

EP 469 of Leave Your Mark features a conversation with Brian Anderson, a leader who has spent his career building and guiding companies across industries many of us live and work in every day… wellness, fitness, sport, outdoor, and travel.

Brian’s journey has taken him through both founder-led businesses and private equity environments, wearing many hats along the way: CEO, chairman, advisor, and coach. But beyond the titles, what stands out is his ability to bring people together, build strong cultures, and help teams move toward something meaningful.

In this episode, Brian shares the evolution of his career… from early ambitions and corporate beginnings to a life in entrepreneurship and leadership. He speaks candidly about decision-making, the balance between logic and instinct, and the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people. He also reflects on the realities of building businesses in passionate industries, where optimism can be both a strength and a blind spot.

We also explore how fatherhood shaped his perspective, how risk tolerance evolves, and why he ultimately values quality of life over pure career success.

At his core, Brian is a builder… of businesses, teams, and environments where people can do their best work. And just as importantly, he’s a proud father of three daughters, something that grounds everything he does.

This is a thoughtful conversation on leadership, growth, and what really matters over the long haul.

In this episode of Leave Your Mark, I sit down with Coach Johnny Parker, a true pioneer in the world of strength and conditioning whose career has shaped generations of athletes and coaches alike.

From his beginnings as a high school football coach in rural Mississippi to becoming the first strength coach in the Big Ten, and eventually spending two decades in the NFL with organizations like the New York Giants, New England Patriots, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and San Francisco 49ers, Johnny’s journey reflects the evolution of an entire profession.

But what stands out most is not the titles or the championships.

It is the standard.

Johnny shares the defining moments that shaped his philosophy, including an early coaching failure that forced him to confront the responsibility that comes with leading others. From that point forward, he committed himself to mastery, not just of training, but of people.

We explore his model of leadership, built on progression from fear, to respect, to belief, and ultimately to self-driven excellence. He reflects on lessons learned from iconic figures like Bill Parcells and Bob Knight, and offers a grounded perspective on what truly separates good coaches from great ones.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that coaching is not about control; it is about connection, accountability, and helping people become more than they believed possible.

If you work with people in any capacity, this one will stay with you.

On a personal note, this was one of the great honors of my life in human performance. Johnny influenced me when I was a young S&C coach, and he didn't even know it.  I never knew the man; I just knew the legend, and to finally speak with him was a great privilege. Johnny is in the battle of his life, and if this session or his personal impact on you has meant anything, letting him know would surely mean a lot to this incredible man.

Nine years ago this April 3rd, I pressed record on my first podcast episode.

At the time, I had no idea it would become one of the most meaningful experiences of my life.

Sometime this year, I’ll cross the milestone of 500 conversations with people from all walks of life: athletes, coaches, leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers.

What I’ve discovered through those conversations surprised me.

Most people didn’t have a perfect plan.
Most didn’t know exactly where life would take them.

Instead, they responded to opportunities, navigated setbacks, and allowed circumstance, faith, and persistence to shape their path.

And in the end, almost everyone wants the same thing.

To be remembered not for their achievements…
But for how they treated the people they loved.

This week’s podcast is a reflection on what nearly a decade of podcast conversations has taught me about life, growth, and becoming.

I hope you enjoy the reflection.

This week on Leave Your Mark, I’m joined by Andrea Carter, Canada’s go-to Belonging Expert and an Organizational Scientist helping leaders turn culture into a true competitive advantage.

For nearly two decades, Andrea has worked at the intersection of neuroscience, organizational psychology, and leadership. She is the founder of Andrea Carter Consulting and creator of the Belonging First Methodology™, a data-driven framework designed to repair disconnection, reduce toxicity, rebuild trust, and create environments where both people and performance thrive.

In this powerful conversation, we explore:

• Why belonging is not just a feeling but measurable and buildable
 • The three critical indicators of organizational success: comfort, connection, and contribution
 • Why psychological safety is about intelligent risk, not softness
 • The nervous system’s role in performance regulation
 • The rise of “The Great Detachment” and hidden disengagement in today’s workplaces
 • How leaders can create clarity, predictability, and shared accountability
 • Why resilience is not a solo sport

Andrea shares insights from her groundbreaking research, including large-scale industry studies, her work as an Adjunct Professor at Adler University, and the personal experiences that shaped her passion for understanding real belonging, not just fitting in.

If you care about performance, culture, leadership, or building teams that truly thrive, this episode will challenge and elevate your thinking.

This week on Leave Your Mark, I sit down with Sonya Weigle, Founder of Next Stage BioAdvisors and The Catalytic Collective.

Sonya has spent more than 25 years advising biotech CEOs and senior executives through high-stakes leadership moments. From early-stage CEO preparation to organizational scale, she has guided science leaders as they step into bigger roles and greater responsibility.

But her story is more than corporate strategy.

We talk about:

• Transitioning from engineering to political science, then building a consultancy while still at Carnegie Mellon
• Turning down prestigious law school offers to follow a different path
• Being the only woman in the room and learning to speak truth to power
• Balancing high-performance consulting with motherhood
• Helping executive women redefine success in their next chapter

Sonya shares how she overcame childhood shyness to develop a powerful voice, why intuition matters in leadership, and how setting clear non-negotiables can transform both career and family life.

This is a conversation about reinvention, courage, authenticity, and building a life that works on your terms.

If you are navigating leadership, entrepreneurship, or your own next chapter, this episode will resonate deeply.

This week on Leave Your Mark, I sit down with financial strategist and philanthropic visionary Mark Halpern.

Mark is a Certified Financial Planner, Trust & Estate Practitioner, and Master Financial Advisor–Philanthropy with more than 30 years of experience helping successful families and entrepreneurs think differently about wealth.

As CEO of WEALTHinsurance.com, he operates at the intersection of estate planning, tax strategy, and charitable giving—helping clients preserve capital, minimize tax, and multiply impact.

But this conversation goes deeper than money.

Mark was mentored by the late Dr. Paul Goldstein, a Holocaust survivor who earned his PhD at 87. From him, Mark learned a principle that shapes both his life and his work: when you get knocked down, get back up before the count of ten.

Now he’s pursuing a bold “Moonshot” goal: generating $1 billion in new charitable donations annually.

We talk about legacy.
We talk about resilience.
We talk about a new model of philanthropy—one that challenges traditional thinking about wealth and responsibility.

If you’ve ever wondered what wealth is really for, this episode will make you think.

Low back pain is rarely just about the back.

In this solo episode, I walk through what truly matters when you’re trying to solve persistent lumbar issues — whether you’re a practitioner guiding others or someone navigating it yourself.

There are three primary drivers I consistently see:

1️⃣ Manage the Client’s State
If the threat bucket is overflowing, nothing else sticks. Downregulation isn’t optional — it’s foundational.

2️⃣ Build Spinal Capability and Capacity
The lumbar spine cannot carry the entire load. We need equitable distribution of force across the entire spinal system, with progressive exposure to real-world demands.

3️⃣ Restore Movement Intelligence
The brain won’t access what it doesn’t recognize. Using principles from motor learning — self-organization, ecological dynamics, and constraints-based learning — we must re-establish movement quality, quantity, and strategy based on the client’s actual goals.

And we cannot ignore the hips and thoracic spine. They are primary accommodative zones. If they don’t move well, the lumbar spine pays the price.

This episode is about clarity, not complexity.
 About solving, not chasing symptoms.

This week on the Leave Your Mark Podcast, we sit down with Jason Mihalik, one of the most influential voices in concussion research and clinical brain health today.

Jason is a full professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Director of the Matthew Gfeller Center, and CEO of the THRIVE Program. His work lives at the intersection of sport, military service, and clinical care—helping athletes, service members, veterans, and first responders recover, perform, and thrive.

With more than 185 peer-reviewed publications and over $30 million in research funding, Jason has helped shape the world's understanding of concussion, recovery, resilience, and long-term neurological health. But what makes this conversation special is not just the science—it’s the humanity behind it.

We talk about his journey from Montreal and hockey to athletic therapy to becoming a global leader in concussion research. We explore how concussion care has evolved, why balance matters in youth sport conversations, and why research only matters if it changes real lives.

A thoughtful, grounded conversation with someone who truly walks the line between science and service.

Over the past two decades, Scott has delivered more than 300 talks, partnered with over 350 organizations, and inspired thousands to take ownership of their health, leadership, and well-being.

His insights are shaped by lived experience, including personal struggles with mental health, addiction, and the ongoing work of purpose-driven entrepreneurship. The daily practices he teaches are the same ones that keep him grounded, clear, and resilient.

This is a thoughtful, honest conversation about leadership, ownership, and what it actually takes to thrive—personally and professionally—over the long game.

The book was created to offer the guidance they both wished they had earlier in their careers — practical, experience-driven insight for practitioners navigating the complexity of modern sport.

In this episode of the Leave Your Mark podcast, we explore Adam’s journey, his evolution with integrated performance systems, and what it really takes to connect information, people, and purpose in high-performance environments.

🎧 Listen now and dive into a thoughtful conversation on leadership, collaboration, and making sport science matter.

This week on the Leave Your Mark Podcast, we sit down with Michael Ouzas.

Michael’s journey is one many athletes quietly face—but few talk about openly. A former professional hockey goalie, Michael began preparing for life after sports during the COVID-19 pandemic by pursuing his real estate license. 

What started as a contingency plan became a calling when an injury forced him into retirement earlier than expected.

Since then, Michael has rebuilt—professionally and personally. Over the past five years, he has grown a thriving real estate business, found his life partner, Laura, and recently stepped into his newest role: fatherhood.

This is a powerful conversation about identity, transition, resilience, and redefining success when the game ends—but life keeps moving.

In this episode of Leave Your Mark, I’m joined by Erin Sills, co-founder of High Impact Lab, for a thoughtful conversation on leadership, impact, and the human side of organizational change.

With more than two decades of experience working with leaders and organizations across the private sector, healthcare, Crown corporations, and innovative global enterprises, Erin brings a rare depth of perspective to how culture, leadership, and performance truly evolve.

Her background includes senior roles in tech and executive consulting, as well as a pivotal four-year tenure with the Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, where she led initiatives in leadership development, team culture, change management, and employee engagement.

A passionate learner and gifted listener, Erin has a unique ability to create space for meaningful dialogue—helping people think more clearly, communicate more honestly, and lead with greater intention.

This episode is a powerful exploration of what it really means to lead with impact—at work, at home, and in life.

This week, I want to explore a simple idea that sits underneath almost everything we do in movement, rehab, performance, and learning:

The body can’t access what it doesn’t know.

The nervous system won’t use what it doesn’t recognize as available, safe, or trustworthy. And when pain, injury, fear, or perceived threat enters the picture, entire movement strategies can quietly disappear—not because the body is broken, but because the brain no longer sees those options as viable.

In this episode, we’ll talk about self-organization, ecological dynamics, and why movement doesn’t emerge from instruction alone. It emerges from perception. We’ll explore how constraints shape behavior, why safety always comes before efficiency, and why so many well-intentioned rehab and training approaches fail to create lasting change.

If you’ve ever wondered why someone “has the range” but can’t use it, or why strength and mobility don’t always translate to better movement or less pain, this conversation will help connect those dots.

Let’s get into it.

On this episode of Leave Your Mark, I’m pleased to welcome Greg Lothian—a man whose life’s work has been defined by service, responsibility, and an unwavering commitment to helping others.

For nearly three decades, Greg has walked three parallel paths. As an Athletic Therapist and Vitality Coach, he’s helped people overcome physical challenges and reclaim their health since 1996. As a firefighter, with 25 years of volunteer and career service, he’s shown up for people in moments of real crisis—when presence, courage, and calm matter most. And as a mentor, he supports his children, his clients, and fellow practitioners as they navigate the complexities of work, purpose, and life.

Greg is deeply principled. He believes in standing up for what’s right—even when the status quo has lost its moral compass—and he holds a clear, grounded view on value: that being compensated well is not only acceptable, but appropriate when it reflects the impact you bring to people’s lives.

Naturally curious and systems-oriented, Greg has a passion for problem-solving, meaningful conversation, and thoughtful debate. He’s endlessly interested in how people think, move, adapt, and change. At the center of it all, he sees parenting as both life’s greatest challenge and its greatest privilege—an ongoing balance of structure, mentorship, and the freedom to fail.

An unrelenting entrepreneur at heart, Greg is on a mission to elevate standards in the global health industry and help both practitioners and clients achieve outcomes that are not just better—but sustainable.

This is a conversation about service, integrity, leadership, and what it really means to make your work—and your life—matter. I’m honored to share it with you.

This week, I’m joined by Bob Alejo—one of the true pioneers of modern athletic performance.

With more than 40 years in the field, Bob’s career spans NCAA Division I athletics, Major League Baseball, and the Olympic Games. He has worked at institutions such as UCLA, North Carolina State, UC Santa Barbara, and Cal State Northridge, and spent time with the Oakland A’s during the Moneyball era, and later again in the mid-2000s. Along the way, he’s been associated with over 20 NCAA National Championships, MLB postseason success, and a U.S. Olympic gold medal at the Beijing Games, with continued involvement through London in 2012.

In this wide-ranging conversation, we explore the evolution of strength and conditioning, the importance of understanding sport culture—not just sport science—and how trust, adaptability, and mentorship shape long-term success. Bob reflects on lessons learned from elite athletes and coaches, his experiences navigating major shifts in professional sport, and the responsibility coaches carry beyond performance outcomes.

The episode also moves into deeply human territory, as Bob shares powerful reflections on fatherhood, leadership, and a meaningful experience supporting New York firefighters and their families in the aftermath of 9/11.

This is a thoughtful conversation about legacy, service, and what it truly means to leave your mark—both in sport and in life.

This week on Leave Your Mark, I’m joined by Max Lapierre.

Max played 11 full seasons in the NHL, spending time with the Montreal Canadiens, Anaheim Ducks, Vancouver Canucks, St. Louis Blues, and Pittsburgh Penguins, with additional years in the AHL and European professional hockey. Drafted by the Canadiens in 2003, Max carved out a career built not on hype but on work ethic, competitiveness, and an edge he had to earn every single day.

But what makes this conversation powerful isn’t just the resume.

It’s the honesty.

Max shares what it was like growing up in a small town, betting on himself early, navigating trades that shook his identity, and living with labels that didn’t always reflect his true capacity. We talk about pressure, confidence, being misunderstood as a player, and how certain environments can either limit you—or unlock you.

We also dive into his post-playing transition. Just before retirement, Max co-founded the podcast La Poche Bleue with Guillaume Latendresse—what started as something fun between friends exploded into one of the most influential hockey platforms in Quebec and beyond. Alongside that, Max has built a thriving career in broadcasting with TVA Sports, offering sharp, thoughtful insight into the game he lived.

At the center of it all is family—his wife Natasha, their three daughters, and the values Max is now intentional about passing on.

This is a conversation about earning your place, adapting through uncertainty, and learning who you are when the jersey comes off.

Episode 454 with Max Lapierre.

This week, I sit down with Chris Gaurin.  Chris is a San Diego–based performance therapist whose unique journey blends athletic performance, rehabilitation, education, and artistic storytelling. Growing up in a deeply creative family of musicians and writers, Chris sees movement as a universal language—an expression of human potential.

After developing an early passion for training during his high-school football years, Chris spent over a decade navigating the fitness and performance world. His path included mentorship from industry leaders, immersion in corporate wellness environments, and hands-on experience collaborating with speed and performance specialists.

As a Director of Education, Chris has taught and mentored practitioners at multiple levels, and has spoken for organizations including Google, where he makes complex performance principles accessible and actionable.

His evolution from fitness coach to integrative therapist led him into the clinical setting as a San Diego referral for the Postural Restoration Institute. Today, Chris works to blend manual therapy, neuromechanics, and athlete-driven change into a non-siloed model of performance care—grounded in curiosity, informed by neuroscience, and shaped by his creative approach to learning and teaching.

Enjoy!

This week on the Leave Your Mark podcast, I sit down with someone whose influence on our industry is truly profound — Dr. Trevor Cottrell.

Recently retired and now serving as a Professor of Instruction in Physiology at Texas State University, Trevor brings more than three decades of wisdom, research, and applied practice to this conversation.

For 21 years, he helped shape the future of Kinesiology, Athletic Therapy, and Osteopathy as a Professor and Program Coordinator at Sheridan College. His research spans the entire spectrum of human physiology — from cellular biochemistry to applied human performance — with a unique specialization in how warm-up strategies can directly manipulate and elevate power output.

Beyond academia, Trevor spent over 30 years coaching in professional, Olympic, and collegiate environments and was a co-founder of the Canadian Strength and Conditioning Association. He built and ran a successful private performance facility, coached thousands of athletes, and became a sought-after expert in power and speed development, especially in contact sports.

Today, he continues to give back by mentoring coaches at every stage of their careers and leading the Texas State University Olympic Weightlifting Club. He’s also a devoted husband of 30 years and father of two grown children — someone who has lived a life of service, curiosity, and contribution.

This episode is a deep dive into longevity, leadership, high performance, and the evolution of our field.
 If you’re a coach, therapist, educator, or simply someone who cares about human potential, you won’t want to miss this one.

In this episode of Leave Your Mark, I’m honoured to welcome one of the most iconic defenders in NHL history — Zdeno Chara.

Zdeno, born in Slovakia, played 24 seasons in the National Hockey League with the New York Islanders, Ottawa Senators, Boston Bruins, and Washington Capitals. Standing at 6'9", “Big Zee” is the tallest player ever to compete in the league — but his impact stretched far beyond physical stature.

As Captain of the Boston Bruins for 14 seasons, Zdeno led with humility, discipline, and purpose. He won the Norris Trophy in 2009, appeared in three Stanley Cup Finals, and raised the Cup in 2011 — becoming one of only five European-born captains to ever do so. Over 1,600 NHL games, he built a reputation for professionalism, integrity, and a relentless work ethic.

Internationally, he represented Slovakia with pride, earning two silver medals at the World Championships. In 2022, he retired as a Boston Bruin and will have his number, 33, raised to the rafters in January 2026. Most recently, he was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Beyond the accolades, Zdeno is a devoted husband to Tatiana and a father to three young children — and in this conversation, he opens up about leadership, resilience, growth, family, and what it means to evolve beyond the game.

This is a special one. Enjoy.

For Episode 450, I had the privilege of sitting down with an exceptional group of performance practitioners gathered for the ALTIS Masters Residency. ALTIS has built a Master’s program that blends world-class education with real, applied mentorship from some of the best minds in human performance—and this week was no exception.

In the room were Performance Therapy Practitioners Danny Foley and Chris Gaurin, sharing their integrated practice approaches; lead educator Rich Clarke, whose work in change-of-direction research is second to none; Performance Coach Nick Ward; and several other members of the ALTIS team who were onsite to upskill the Master’s cohort.

I was honoured to be invited in as a mentor for this residency, and it’s been a genuine pleasure to contribute to such a high-level learning environment.

In this episode, the five of us dive deep into human performance—training, therapy, movement, coaching, and the philosophies that drive great practitioners. It’s a dynamic conversation with a ton of insight. I think you’ll really enjoy this one.

EP 449 | Yosi Knecht – Resilience, Relationships, and the Human Spirit

This week’s guest is Yosi Knecht — a man defined not just by what he does, but by who he is.

A husband, father, son, and friend, Yosi turned a simple love of working out into a lifelong career in the human performance industry. For more than 20 years, he’s been a leader in performance equipment and sales, known for his integrity, energy, and ability to build authentic relationships that last.

But Yosi’s story goes far beyond business.

In 2010, his 5-year-old daughter was diagnosed with leukemia — an experience that would test every belief he held and reshape his understanding of strength, resilience, and what truly matters.

This is a powerful conversation about family, perspective, and the human capacity to endure and grow.

You’ll come away with a deeper appreciation for what it means to lead, to love, and to live with purpose.

From the gridiron to the brain, this episode dives deep into how former All-American linebacker and two-time national champion Brandon Day turned pain, burnout, and life’s challenges into purpose. He opens up about his journey from a small town in Montana to co-founding Evolved Athlete, where he discovered the power of neurotraining and Flow Science along the way.

We discuss the lessons sports teach us beyond the scoreboard — emotional regulation, teamwork, and resilience — and how these lessons now shape Brandon’s work in helping athletes move beyond pain to unlock performance in life.

You’ll also hear how fatherhood (with triplets!) parallels life on the field, why early sports specialization is holding kids back, and how healthy masculinity and mentorship can transform the way young athletes express strength and emotion. I think you'll enjoy the chat.

From starting his online fitness business in a college dorm room to becoming a husband, father, and respected coach, Jordan’s story reminds us that authenticity is the real flex.

We dive into:

• How to build a purpose-driven coaching business
• Why humility and consistency outperform hype
• The truth about helping people without losing yourself

As a follow-up to my recent episode on threat and how the brain interprets it, I wanted to explore how our state of mind — physiological, neurological, and psychological — shapes the way our brain processes information and manages potential threats.

This short episode takes a closer look at the foundational elements that support optimal brain function: quality sleep, stable blood glucose, proper hydration, and effective oxygenation. These core pillars aren’t just about basic health — they directly influence how resilient, adaptable, and high-performing we can be in the face of stress and challenge.

I hope that this episode leaves you with practical insights and a renewed perspective on how small daily choices can dramatically improve your capacity to thrive. Enjoy!

This week on Leave Your Mark, I sit down with Jovica Savic, a Serbian immigrant whose family fled war and hatred in the 1990s, finding refuge in Canada.

What he shares isn’t just a story of survival — it’s a reminder. A reminder of what this country means to those who arrive with nothing but hope. A reminder of the opportunity and safety we sometimes take for granted.

His perspective will make you stop and think about what “home” really is — and why we should protect and nurture it.

Catch my Substack "The Grey Area Journal" where this week's blog is called Love More, Hate Less, and it's inspired by Jovica's journey.

🎙️ Episode Title: The Bag is Empty

In this episode, I share a story that’s been sitting quietly in the background of my own journey — one about chasing the top of the ladder, only to discover the bag at the top wasn’t as full as I imagined.

For years, my pursuit of “making it” was defined by achievement — the next job, the next title, the next opportunity. I believed that once I arrived, I’d finally feel complete. But like many of us who chase success, I found that the bag we climb toward often holds less than we expect — and that the meaning we’re after isn’t waiting at the top at all.

This conversation is about what happens when you finally “get there,” and realize that fulfillment isn’t something you find — it’s something you build along the way.

If you’ve ever felt the tension between striving and satisfaction, or wondered what really lies on the other side of achievement, this one’s for you.

🎧 Tune in as I unpack the metaphor behind The Bag is Empty and how it reshaped the way I see purpose, success, and the work I do today.

Over the past eight years, I’ve had the privilege of sitting down with Stuart McMillan four different times—twice in one-on-one conversations, and twice in duo sessions. Each time, I’ve walked away with fresh insight into not only his coaching and business practices but also his perspective on life.

Stuart is an eclectic soul—artist by nature (once known as Fingermash in the DJ world), lover of literature and the written word, and a man who carried that artistic spirit into the world of sports science and, most intentionally, the world of speed.

Restless, curious, and fiercely individual, Stu built his own laboratory for human performance. Today, as CEO of ALTIS, he continues to shake the trees of our industry. One of his favourite quotes comes from George Bernard Shaw:
 "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man."

In this episode (#443), I’ve woven together the best of those conversations—an assembly of wisdom, experience, and candid reflection that has shaped me as much as I hope it inspires you.

Stu is more than a world-class performance coach and sharp businessman—he’s also a good friend. I’m excited to share his voice and his wisdom with you once again.

Enjoy the show!

This week on Leave Your Mark, I sit down with Dave Stubbs, a veteran Montreal sports journalist and, since 2016, historian and columnist for NHL.com. As Dave approaches 50 years in sports journalism, he reflects on a remarkable career that began in 1976 and has taken him from local newspapers to the Olympic Games, and eventually, to chronicling the history of the NHL itself.

We discuss his journey through the Montreal Gazette, his time working with national sports organizations, the transition from newsroom management to storytelling, and what it means to spend a lifetime documenting the people and moments that shape sports. Dave brings humor, humility, and perspective to a conversation about writing, history, and the enduring power of sport to connect us all. I really enjoyed this conversation, and I think you will as well.

This week on Leave Your Mark, I sit down with one of the most iconic figures in college hockey history—Coach Jack Parker.

Jack’s coaching career began in 1968, immediately after captaining Boston University’s Terriers. Just a few years later, he stepped behind the bench as head coach, launching a remarkable 40-season journey that would define both his career and the program.

Across four decades, Jack led BU to three NCAA titles, 24 NCAA tournament appearances, and 897 wins—the third-highest career total in NCAA history at the time of his retirement in 2013. His loyalty and leadership cemented him as the winningest coach at a single school in NCAA history.

He was named NCAA Coach of the Year three times, and in November, he will be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame as a builder, recognizing his extraordinary impact on the game.

In this conversation, we explore what it takes to sustain excellence, the lessons Jack learned along the way, and what legacy truly means when you dedicate your life to a craft. Please enjoy.

This week on Leave Your Mark, I sit down with Mike Muir — Athletic Therapist and Strength & Conditioning Coach for the Vegas Golden Knights.

Mike has been in the game for over 35 years. His journey began with Canada’s National Basketball Team, carried through university sport at Mount Allison, and launched his hockey career in Billings, Montana. From there, he climbed through the ranks: from the Manchester Monarchs of the AHL (winning the Calder Cup in 2015) to witnessing the LA Kings lift two Stanley Cups in 2012 and 2014.

Since 2017, Mike has been with the Golden Knights, playing his part in their historic 2023 Stanley Cup victory. Beyond the rink, he’s a husband, father of two, and—like me—born in the same year.

Mike’s story is one of consistency, resilience, and decades of dedication to human performance. Please enjoy!

This week on Leave Your Mark, I sit down with Keenan — CEO, entrepreneur, father, and the author of Gap Selling. But this conversation isn’t about sales tactics. Instead, we dive into his remarkable life story: growing up adopted in a mixed-race family in Boston, chasing dreams of football and modeling, finding his way into sales, and becoming a father of three daughters.

Keenan shares what selling really means (hint: it’s about helping, not convincing), how curiosity shapes his life, and why teaching — not protecting — has been his guiding philosophy as a parent. We also unpack how sales thinking translates into human performance, coaching, and leadership.

This episode is full of lessons about resilience, curiosity, and creating your own path.

Keenan is the CEO of a sales training and consulting company, widely known for his best-selling book Gap Selling. Beyond business, he’s an entrepreneur, speaker, and father of three daughters. Adopted into a mixed-race family in Boston in the late 1960s, Keenan has built a life defined by curiosity, courage, and an uncompromising commitment to living on his own terms.

This is where you can find anything and everything he's into!

This week’s episode features Danielle (Dani) Langford, a lifelong athlete whose journey in sport began on the basketball court. With a coach for a father, Dani grew up immersed in team environments and quickly found her passion for basketball. That passion carried her to represent Canada internationally and compete at the collegiate level, experiences that gave her lifelong skills, memories, and connections.

Today, Dani brings that same love of sport to her role as Manager of Player Rehabilitation with the Golden State Warriors, where she has worked for the past four years. She thrives on helping athletes return to what they love, viewing each case as a unique puzzle to solve. For Dani, the greatest reward lies in the people—learning from colleagues, supporting players, and being part of a team built to set athletes up for success.

Beyond the court, Dani is also a proud mother of two, balancing the challenges of family life with the demands of elite sport. I was thrilled to have her on the show to share her story, her passion, and the lessons she’s learned along the way. Enjoy!

🎙️ NEW PODCAST DROP – EPISODE 433 - Building the Master's Degree We All Wish Existed

What if the future of human performance education wasn’t found in lecture halls or outdated syllabi—but in a coffee shop in the UK?

That’s where this week’s Leave Your Mark episode begins.

Six years ago, Richard Clarke sat down with the CEO of ALTIS World and floated a radical idea: What if we created a Master’s program that actually reflected the real world of human performance?

Fast-forward to today, and that conversation has evolved into one of the most innovative educational offerings in our industry—the ALTIS Master’s in Strength, Conditioning, and Coaching Practice.

In this special episode, I sit down with Richard Clarke and my good friend Stu McMillan to unpack the journey behind the program—what sparked it, what shaped it, and what it could mean for you.

🚀 Inside the episode:

Why traditional education doesn’t cut it anymore

How real-world mentors and hands-on experiences beat textbooks and theory

The role of Phoenix, London, and a global cohort of hungry coaches

And the deeply personal “why” that drives this movement forward

🎓 This isn’t just an academic conversation—it’s a blueprint for the next generation of practitioners who want to lead, not follow.

Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just beginning your coaching journey, this one will challenge the way you think about learning, performance, and purpose.

This week's guest, Simone Fortier, is revolutionizing the way we heal the brain, fascia, and trauma from the inside out. Simone Fortier is a pioneer in brain-based healing and the founder of the Fascia Training Institute, where she’s been training practitioners for over 30 years.

She’s worked with elite athletes from the NFL, NHL, MLB, and Olympic levels — but what makes Simone’s work so unique isn’t just the caliber of her clients, it’s the depth of her methods. Through her Dynamic Brain Healing protocols and six years of clinical trials on brain nutrition, she’s developed a system that helps resolve chronic pain, post-concussion symptoms, and the hidden trauma patterns stored deep in the fascia.

Simone is also a best-selling author, speaker, and medical intuitive — a rare combination of science and soul. Her journey includes recovering from multiple head injuries herself, which inspired her to create solutions for people who’ve been dismissed, misdiagnosed, or told to just 'push through.'

She’s on a mission to change how we think about healing, performance, and what it means to thrive truly, not just physically, but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I hope you enjoy our conversation

🎙️ This Week on Leave Your Mark: The Brain as the Governing System

In this week’s Singularity Session, I’m flying solo to explore the brain’s role as the command center of all human function. I dive into how the brain receives, interprets, and integrates inputs to create outputs—and why its number one priority is always to keep us alive.

I’ll break down how the brain’s predictive lens is shaped by our experiences, influences, and the culture around us—and why it often labels things as threats, even when they aren’t. One of the most significant outputs of this threat response? Pain.

Through the lens of Neuro Reconditioning, I’ll unpack how understanding this process can radically improve the way we assess movement, solve performance problems, and help people move without pain.

Tune in to challenge the way you see the brain’s role in human function—and to walk away with actionable insights you can apply right now.

This week, I sit down with my friend and mental preparation expert, Vincent Malts, to explore a powerful and often misunderstood phenomenon in high-performance sport: how pressure can derail both individuals and teams.

When pressure mounts, it can trigger a threat response in the brain, activating neurological and psychological patterns rooted in fear. The result? Fight, flight, or freeze. For individual athletes, it shows up as choking, the yips, or “squeezing the stick.” For teams, it’s that haunting feeling when they don’t show up.

We dig into the underlying mechanisms behind these moments, and what it takes to build athletes and teams who can face fear, step into it, and perform.

It’s a fascinating conversation with a brilliant mind. I enjoyed it—and I think you will too. Cheers!

This EP is a solo session.  I didn't have an interview recorded, and I decided I would take the time to talk about where we find ourselves today in society at large, and perhaps what has led us to a difficult and unsteady state.

The world at large ebbs and flows, grows, and contracts, and we as human citizens struggle to know what to look toward for solace and a sense of control. It's not easy living on this planet, but a lot of what can make it a better experience is how we understand ourselves.  How what we see, and why we see it drives how we feel, and ultimately what we experience.

I hope you find some value in my ramblings. Cheers

Gary left the Alouettes in 1984 and took a role again for one year as the Head Therapist of Football at Concordia University.  This is where our paths crossed, Gary was my first mentor in Athletic Therapy many moons ago.

GDC grew under the ownership of Dave and Gary and eventually morphed into the Concordia group of clinics in Montreal with numerous facilities in the Montreal region.  During this time, Gary became an Osteopath and focused on private practice.

Gary has been a member of Canadian International Sports Medicine teams including the 1976 Olympics in Montreal, he served as the President of the CATA, and he is a member of the CTSQ Hall of Fame and the Concordia Athletics Department Hall of Fame as a builder.

 Above all of his accomplishments, he and his wife Marylin parented their daughter Jessica.  This is a fantastic conversation with my first mentor and it means a lot to me, I hope you enjoy it.

This EP is a great conversation with two good friends of mine and national treasures of Canadian Sport.  Dom Gauthier competed as a Mogul Skier in the late 90s and was an Olympian in Nagano Japan in 1998.  

He went on to become the coach of the Japanese National Team and then became the private coach of Jenn Heil and Alexandre Bilodeau where he was integral in their mutual success in Torino and Vancouver.  He became a founding member of the B2Ten foundation, supporting many Canadian Olympians and the success of Canadian Olympic sports for almost 20 years.  

Jenn Heil is one of the winningest Mogul Skiers, both male and female, of all time. She has won multiple World Championships and many World Cup gold medal podiums throughout her career. She won Olympic Gold in 2006 at Torino, and Silver at the Vancouver Games. She's gone on to finish a bachelor's degree at McGill University and an MBA at Stanford University and is now building a business focused on women's health care.

Together they are a power couple in Canadian sport, they have two growing boys, and they are dedicated to the improvement of sport and health in Canada. More recently Jenn has been named the Chef de Mission for the 2026 Olympic Games in Cortina, Italy.  I was honored to sit down with them both and catch up on life since retiring from competitive sports.

On April 3rd, 2018, my journey began with podcasting. The first was simply me telling the listener what LYM would be, the second was my first guest Erik Guay.  

I had trained Erik for the last six years of his career, and I thought sitting down with him and understanding his life and career as they were coming close to a conclusion would be a great way to start this show.

I had no idea what was ahead, how many I would do, or who I would have the honor and pleasure of speaking with throughout this journey of six-plus years.  So many great stories, so many incredible guests, and so much insight unpacked.  

How lucky am I to have had this experience?

400!!

Four hundred podcasts and the 400th is being released today on my 61st birthday! Unplanned, LOL! Who's on it you ask?

Two of my favorite people in high-performance sports. The perfect combination of smarts, humility, desire to accomplish, willingness to pull on the rope with others, always willing to share, learn, and mentor, and most of all, always up for a good laugh.  This one is all about stories from our experiences in the world of high-performance sports.

It's been a ride.  

One podcast every week for the last six years and counting, with no plan to stop.  More amazing guests, more amazing stories, and hopefully value found by you, the listener.

Thank you to all the amazing guests for your time, so precious as it is, and thank you to all the listeners who keep coming back and keeping the show alive.

A deep thank you to my sponsors now and early on. Especially Greg Lawlor from Matrix for being with me in the first half of this journey, a stalwart in their support, and more recently the support from Frank McKinnon and VALD.  You help us reach more people and make a bigger difference.

Thanks to Jaime and Gretchen for always supporting me, it makes a big difference.

Thank you everyone!

In this EP I decided to talk alone about an important subject to me, mentorship. Informal and formal mentorship can shape the experiences of your life.  If it's done well, it challenges you to self-reflect and grow.  

A good mentor will not only give you advice but will challenge you to understand why you want to do what you want to do in the first place.  Making decisions is the easy part of life, understanding why you want to go one direction or the other is the hard part. We are not encouraged to look inside ourselves early enough in life.  Instead, we are encouraged to follow the protocols of life, the directions acknowledged and advised by society at large.  This leads inevitably to the mid-life crisis, the burnout, or the sense of disappointment that is often medicated by all the vices of life that become the insulation for the fear and pain of our circumstances. 

It doesn't need to be this way, you can begin to find a quality internal compass much earlier in life that will allow you to follow a path you own and believe in, one that creates real fulfillment and joy.  This is the reason I began the LYM Life Lab, and I begin a new cohort in September should you wish to join at www.LYMLab.com

This is Josh Fletcher's third time on the podcast.  Josh has 15+ years of experience as a human performance coach working with Olympic medal-winning programs, the military Special Forces, F2/F3 racing drivers, and corporate professionals from PwC, Deloitte, and Capita.

He helps senior leaders, people managers, and talented corporate professionals to thrive alongside the extreme demands, pressure, and stress of the job. With expertise in stress management, burnout, switching off from high-pressure situations, and resilience coaching, Josh brings a wealth of experience to provide bespoke well-being solutions for organizations and individuals.

Throughout his career, Josh struggled to meet his high personal expectations, manage the stress of demanding jobs, and find time to prioritize his well-being. The results of years of mismanagement were burnout, stress, job loss, and apathy towards an industry he once loved. Josh’s purpose and why behind Wellness Blueprint is born out of experiencing the highest and lowest lows that the high-performance coaching industry can throw at a person.  His mission is to support individuals and organizations in delivering meaningful well-being interventions and creating work-life harmony.

This EP features Andrew Eaton.  Andrew is a teacher, who integrates traditional strength training, mindset coaching, and brain-based physical training. He found his way to weight training as a response to being bullied in middle school. The lessons learned there laid the foundation for an entire career. 

 After college, he was certain that a radio career was the next step in his journey, but he found himself instead writing and editing a periodical for back-care professionals. Then, ten words on a flyer at the gym changed his trajectory - advertising the first personal training certification course on the East Coast. 

 Shortly after completing that course, a chance encounter while visiting family found him relocating halfway across the US to take a ground-floor position in the facility the Chicago Bulls called home. Once there, like many 'fitness nerds,' he set out to learn as much as possible, wanting to become something of a fitness Swiss Army knife. He also met his wife and her son, and they had two children together. 

 Over the following ten years, he left the club and started Eaton Sports and Fitness, designed to support athletes on their path toward performance. The last decade has included certifications in nutrition, mindset, and most recently, the revelation that he'd been missing a significant piece of his education. 

 Andrew lives in Illinois with his daughter, Kate, and his grand-dog, Fiona.

In this episode, Alex Dziri and I discuss the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to transform various industries, including coaching.  AI is here to stay and we must recognize what it can do for us, and how we can employ it to support our work, not eliminate it.  

We emphasized the need for humans to adapt to the changing landscape and collaborate with AI systems while acknowledging the limitations of AI and the potential for it to impact jobs. 

Alex introduced a metaphor to help people think about AI more productively, viewing it as a sort of autistic cousin who is smarter than us, and recognizing that AI has all the answers we need but we need to ask it the right way. 

We also discussed the potential of AI in content creation, emphasizing its role as a collaboration tool rather than a replacement for human writers or artists.  We hope this episode helps you to embrace the use of AI in your work and life, and that it supplies you with some strategies to get started or continue on your journey with Artificial Intelligence. Enjoy!

He built a thriving clinical physiotherapy business with multiple facilities in Kelowna, BC rehabbing and training elite athletes (NHL, NFL, NBA, NCAA, CIS, national teams, etc.).  He also ran Therapy Services in the Athlete Village for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic games.

Randy sold his clinics and consulted for a while but was loured to Vancouver to help good friends Rick Cellebrini and Dr. Jack Taunton start Fortius Sport and Health.  This cutting-edge facility at its peak had 70 practitioners and 110 staff with an operating budget of $12M.  After 3.5 years of commuting from Kelowna to Vancouver, he closed his involvement there and eventually found himself in PEI for life balance and to be close to his kids and grandkids and his wife Brenda's family.

This week's EP and the first of this year 2024 is all about why we started Reconditioninghq.com.  Neuro-reconditioning is all about helping therapists and performance professionals unlock the ability to seamlessly blend rehabilitation and movement enhancement with confidence. 

We started it 20 years ago now, teaching our first official course in 2004, and then 10 years later we began running courses regularly.  We wanted to elevate the practice of human performance, help therapists and performance professionals gain the confidence to tackle complex issues, and help their clients move better and live better.

This is the story of www.Reconditioninghq.com

This episode is an interview with Dan Wirth and Jonathan Thompson about the use and practical application of Blood Flow Restriction technology, and specifically the value of the B-Strong system.  

Dan is currently the Director of Olympic sports performance at the University of Tennessee. He has been in the world of human performance for 35+ years as both a team and organization strength and conditioning coach, and also as an entrepreneur.

 Dan left the University of Arizona in 2000 where he had served as Lead S+C for ten years to build his performance facility Sierra Fitness Performance Training in Tucson.  He was introduced to Blood Flow Restriction training with early technologies and experimental applications during his career. He then became a big advocate of the modality and uses it regularly in daily training.

 Dan further recommended we bring S+C Coach Jonathan Thompson, a former intern of Dan’s, on the show. Jonathan is using BFR regularly with his basketball players at Lipscomb University where he has been since 2022.

 In this session, we try to bring the wisdom and experience of Dan with the exuberance and application of Jonathan and another colleague together to paint a picture of the value of this training modality.  I hope you enjoy the ride.

This EP features Darren McConaghy.  Darren has an extensive interdisciplinary background in Athletic Therapy, Kinesiology, Osteopathy, and Strength & Conditioning along with a deep passion for blending the worlds of manual therapy, fitness, and performance.

A graduate of York University, Darren honed his practice while working for the Montreal Canadiens AHL affiliate, the Hamilton Bulldogs, as the team's first full-time Strength and Conditioning Coach and Assistant Athletic Therapist from 2006 to 2012.

Darren was instrumental in building the foundation of the athletic development program for the Montreal Canadiens’ prospects while working to rehabilitate and recondition the organization’s players from injuries, many of whom have now gone on to have successful NHL careers. During Darren’s time with the Bulldogs the team advanced to the Western Conference Finals twice and won a Calder Cup in 2007.

Darren later served as Director of Performance Conditioning at Fortius Sport and Health, in Burnaby, BC. In this capacity, Darren led staff and trained and reconditioned high-performance athletes, including various Olympians, the National Women’s Soccer team, and several NHL players. 

Since 2014, Darren has consulted with boutique gyms on integrating health and therapy services into their businesses while helping people from all walks of life overcome pain and movement dysfunction. He is married and a proud father of two kids.  I think you'll find huge value in his insights on professional practice.

This is a great session adapted from our Reconditioning Mastermind program.  We interviewed Osteopath and Performance coach Pat Magee. Pat is currently serving as a manual therapist and performance coach for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Before that, he was serving in a similar role with the Golden State Warriors.

After a master's Degree at McGill University, Pat practiced as an Osteo and Performance coach, first in a performance facility in Montreal, then for the Hamilton Bulldogs of the AHL, and then back into a performance facility practice in Montreal where he worked with hockey players, figure skaters, and numerous other elite athletes and regular Joe's.

Along the way, he got married to his wife Caro, and they had their first little girl Jade. They are expecting number 2 in a few months.  This is a great journey of connection and relationship-building worthy of your time.

This is the third-time return of one of the great thinkers and educators in human performance today, Nick Winkleman.  Nick currently serves as the head of athletic performance & science for the Irish Rugby Football Union.  I recently bumped into him at a Perform Better Summit in Orlando, Florida where he and I were speaking. 

He was presenting a topic seemingly out of context for the environment entitled "Zen and the Art of Coaching." I was intrigued and spent 75 minutes listening to a man talk about a subject I knew little about, but found myself moved to better understand.

Later sitting by the pool, we further got into a deep discussion, and I invited him to come back to the LYM podcast to enlighten our listenership with his insights.  

Nick has been through a great deal of change, some unexpected, and some expected in recent years.  His faith has helped him navigate this change, and he felt moved to share what he has learned through this unique presentation, and now in this wonderful conversation. I think you'll enjoy the ride!

EP 341 is a return engagement with author Brad Stulberg. Brad's work explores the principles of mastery and well-being that transcend all capabilities and domains. His new book, Master of Change is about navigating change and finding a language that allows one to manifest change rather than be a victim.

He’s learned that whether someone is trying to qualify for the Olympics, start a company, craft a creative masterpiece, break ground in mathematical theory, or raise a family, many of the practices underlying fulfillment, sustainable success, and well-being are the same, supported by scientific evidence, and available to everyone. 

He is also the author of The Practice of Groundedness and coauthor of Peak Performance and The Passion Paradox. These books explore the art, science, and practice of motivation, values-driven excellence, and maximizing one’s potential while realizing a more fulfilling and sustainable kind of success.

He has a coaching practice in which he intimately partners with his clients to apply the principles about which he writes. You can find his new book at https://www.harpercollins.com/products/master-of-change-brad-stulberg?variant=41003842404386

This EP features a former professional footballer turned performance coach, Paul Webb.  After injury caused him to retire, Paul traveled the world to qualify as one of the first Strength Coaches in the UK. 

He set up his own facility and spent almost twenty years coaching athletes, of all levels (weekend warriors to Olympic and world champions) from all over the world.

Paul decided a few years ago that running the gym that had been successful for almost two decades no longer served his purpose. 

 He began coaching clients on their own path to spiritual awakening. Drawing on years of experience both in his own life and through working with thousands of clients, Paul traveled worldwide working with Hollywood actors, entrepreneurs, CEOs, Olympians, and royalty, helping all achieve success levels that far exceeded what they expected.
