Nick DiMarco - Why Not to Olympic Lift, Aerobic Reserves and If Your Life Sucks You Suck In this episode we welcome our guest, Nick DiMarco, on to the podcast. We had the opportunity to talk about skill development for athletes, how to lead other and get everyone on the same page, and finally the mindset of "If your life sucks, then you suck". This episode is filled with amazing nuggets that you will really enjoy. 

Nugget Of The Day: "The next time you want to withhold your help from another, for any reason ask yourself a simple question "Does the reason for withholding this help reflect more on them or you and what do you want defining your life?" This quote leads us into our guest, Tim Kelly, who is a sports performance coach at Virginia High Performance. Tim was recommended to us by past guest Danny Foley and he didn't let us down! Today Tim dove into the importance of training overhead athletes holistically and ways to implement that into your programming. He also goes into working with and communicating with clients that have suffered spinal cord injuries. Finally Tim discusses the importance of living your life to serve! I hope you guys get alot out of this podcast! Keep Chopping Wood

Nugget Of the Day: “Confident but not cocky; courageous but not foolheartedly; competitive but a gracious loser; attentive to details but not obsessed by them… This quote leads us into our guest Carter Schmitz today! Carter was a teammate of mine at the University of St.Thomas. He has written blogs for the Jochum Strength website and is one of the smartest and most underrated strength coaches out there. Currently an accountant Carter has an interesting perspective on the Sports performance world and is know for his experiments and constant questioning!  Today we discussed the Gray area and how we can take two opposing ideas and mold them together. The mindset of a kicker and how that has helped Carter grow and Carters why behind Empowering Growth and how that has allowed him to take the world of accounting and apply it to the world of Sports Performance. I hope you guys get alot of nuggets out of this one!  Keep Chopping Wood

Nugget Of the Day: “The limiting factor is not resources, for they are plentiful, but knowledge, which is scarce” This quote leads us into our guest Jordan Nieuwsma! Jordan is currently a sports performance coach at Elon University and has spent time at the University of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Concordia St.Paul as well as other spots. I found Jordan through a power point that was sent to me on a NSCA conference talk he gave on “Sports Movement through the eyes of an athlete” which does an amazing job of breaking down the sport and questioning if what a lot of traditional weight room programs is doing are correct.  Today we tried to dive deep into the world of the constraints led approach, small sided games and how to bridge the gap between the weight room and what is actually going on, on the field. Jordan talked alot about some of his small sided games and he has a ton of examples on his Youtube which can be found here  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYfwPuzm4RkKiz0TD-TGLwA Let me know if you h

Nugget Of The Day: "Life is one big test, don't fail" On this episode of the podcast we have Sean Neubauer, a Chiropractor and owner of Health Source of Chanhassen. I met Sean through previous podcast guest Logan Scholla, who has been worked on for awhile by Sean and was a key clog in Logans National Power Lifting Prep. This podcast we had an awesome conversation about mindset and movement and how these two things, if used correctly, can have a huge impact on your life! I Hope you enjoy!

Nugget Of the Day: “By wisdom a house is built; and through understanding it is established” This quote leads into our guest perfectly. Danny Foley is Co-Founder of Rude-Rock Strength and Head Strength Coach at Virgina High Performance where he specializes in working with  U.S. Special Operations Command personnel and tactical athletes. I first found Danny when I read one of his articles on Off-Set training and instantly knew we had very similar thoughts on how to train an athlete to be an athlete. I’m really excited for this conversation and I hope you guys get something out of it. You can find Danny's Website and Hip Manual here! https://www.ruderockstrength.com/

Nugget Of the Day: “Men become builders by building houses, musicians by playing music and professors by being life long students” This quote leads us into our guest today, Dr. Adam Korak, a biomechanics professor at the University of St. Thomas, Certified Strength and Conditioning Coach head of the St.Thomas strength and conditioning club and die hard Alabama fan, he is always looking for ways to learn and teach in life. I have the pleasure of working with Dr.Korak at UST and one of my favorite things about talking with him is the different lenses he sees things through as an academic and how we are able to bump thoughts back and forth from what actually goes on in the weight room and what is happening in the research. Today we talked about the mindset behind keeping doors open, how biomechanics can help with athletic development and what your role as a leader is.  I’m really excited for you guys to listen!

Nugget Of the Day: It’s not about what you do, its about who you do it for and who you do it with that matters. That’s how success will come Leads into our guest perfectly. Hunter Warner is a Professional Hockey player for the Iowa Wild, he was a 2013 USA Hockey All-American and Host of the Truth and Love Podcast where his goal is to share the journeys of inspirational and influential people and the battles they go through every day. I have followed Hunter for awhile now and we have a very similar mindset on life and what you can do with it and I’m super pumped to have him in studio today!

Nugget Of the Day: The manager accepts the status quo, the leader challenges it. - Warren G Bennis This quote leads us into our guest perfectly today, Adarian Barr, who does not believe in accepting the status quo of speed training. Adarian is a USATF Level II coach and a speed consultant for many teams and athletes, a speed product inventor and owner of Barrunning. He believes in the very same mindset that Jurgen Grobler’s (Gold Metal Winning Rowing Coach) has of “Will it make the boat go faster?”. Keep the goal the goal and get there anyway possible. Today we dive into torque and what it means for athletics, levers and their importance in sport, Adarians philosophy on run simple to run fast and many more things. I had to go back and take a bunch of notes on the knowledge bombs coach was dropping so Id have your paper and pencil ready.

"The purpose of life is finding the largest burden that you can bear and bearing it" - Jordan Peterson This quote leads perfectly into our guest Logan Scholla, president and founder of the UST  Strength and conditioning club, national level power lifter, engineering  student  and  a  Jochum strength athlete, Logan is taking the burden and bearing it.   Logan discuses his journey into power lifting and how he benched 405, how he put on 90 lbs in 4 years, the relentless pursuit big goals need and his love for poptarts. This was a really awesome conversation that I enjoyed and I hope you are able to take something away from it. If you have any questions or feedback just let me know! Keep Chopping Wood
