  • From Couch Flips To UCLA Bars
    Jan 16 2026

    What if the best season starts when you finally stop forcing it? That’s the turning point Maddie shares as we trace her path from a three-year-old flipping off couches to a UCLA D1 Gymnast and now a senior balancing bars and degree in applied mathematics! WOW! Maddie almost walked away after Level 10, burned out by self-promotion and a chaotic recruiting landscape—then found her rhythm, got into UCLA academically, and seized a rare chance to walk on to one of college gymnastics’ most electric programs led by Head Coach Janelle McDonald.

    We go inside the demands most fans never see. NCAA hour caps don’t soften the intensity: three-hour practices, strength work, and a meet-day “touch” that lasts four minutes for the entire lineup. On bars that can mean one turn, new settings, and a clock winding down while you’re still waiting to jump. Maddie breaks down the mental side of that moment—trusting the thousands of reps, using the touch for feel and cues, and treating a miss as useful information rather than a verdict. We unpack how lineups are chosen, why alternates always prep, and how an unexpected exhibition at Stanford proved the value of staying ready.

    Culture is the power move here. UCLA’s program prizes big personalities and genuine support, and Maddie describes arriving without the usual recruiting runway, being welcomed instantly, and then growing into a leadership role as a young roster took shape. With eight seniors gone, she shifted from quiet example to vocal standard-setter, helping protect a culture the team rebuilt over years. That investment paid off with a nationals run that felt like a culmination—a result that matched the work, the values, and the joy.

    If you’re chasing performance under pressure—whether you’re an athlete, student, or leader—this story lands. It’s about letting go to compete better, choosing teammates to quiet nerves, and solving one hard problem at a time. Listen, share with a friend who needs the nudge, and leave a quick review so more people can find the show.

  • What If The Toughest Rep Is Rest?
    Jan 5 2026

    Welcome to Season 2 - A season opener should feel like a spark—and Olav brings the fire. He’s a NorCal senior, a multi‑sport athlete, and a defensive end who finished his last season with an ACL and meniscus tear. What follows is a candid, unfiltered look at ambition meeting adversity: the moment a late‑game decision spiraled into surgery, and how he rebuilt his plan around smarter recovery, coaching his teammates, and keeping his college dreams alive.

    We dive into the tradeoffs athletes face when they love a collision sport yet understand the science. Olav talks openly about concussions, hydration, and why the first violent minutes of a game can be the riskiest. He doesn’t glorify danger, but he does stand by the character, teamwork, and discipline football and track forged in him. From locker room culture to pre‑game rituals, he champions quiet focus over performative hype, showing how standards and player ownership can turn a program from perennial underachiever into a contender. Leadership isn’t loud; it’s consistent.

    If you’re navigating injury, this conversation doubles as a blueprint. We get into surgery decisions, timelines, and the under‑appreciated power of nutrition, sleep, and patience. We talk pool running, progressive rehab, and the mindset shift where the fastest path back is choosing to go slow today. Olav's core message to younger athletes lands with weight: be yourself, do the work, and let effort outlast ego. Talent fades without discipline. Work ethic compounds.

    Tap play to hear a grounded, real-time comeback get built. If this conversation helps you or someone on your team, share it with a teammate, subscribe for season two, and leave a review with one takeaway you’ll put into practice this week.

  • How to Spot a Snake in Sport - learning that deception is part of the game!
    Nov 18 2025

    Deception is not a flaw in sport; its one of the main features that make elite sport so enjoyable to watch and so difficult to master but it is also the reason why it attracts individuals who exhibit and produce this type of behavior for the sake of producing the necessary results to win. So does that mean that being a "Snake" in sport is wrong? No not exactly but it does mean that for athletes you need to be aware and correctly prepared for the environment that you heading into. In this episode Coach B shares a recent humbling experience and how, by using the historical metaphor of being aware of Snakes, in the deceptive landscape of sport, one has to have clear objectives and seek transparency from those you work with or risk the uncomfortable fate of humiliation and disappointment when expectations are not aligned.
