Episode 23: Season 4 Episode 23 2024 Presenter Dr. Charlie Weingroff- “The laws of biology and physics govern everything”

He’s baaaaccckkkkkk! I am so excited to welcome my good friend Charlie Weingroff back to The Podcast and to introduce him as a presenter at The Seminar. Charlie has been, and always will be, one of the greatest sound boards to me in the world of performance. It doesn’t matter if we are speaking training or rehab (see what I did there), whenever I have a question or an idea about a direction we are thinking, he’s always been a person that provided some of the most constructive insight and thought-provoking questions about the directions we are looking to go in, to help us make better decisions. His track record in working in sport speaks for itself, and his willingness to share and help coaches and therapists learn and grow is second to none. All of this makes him, once again, the perfect addition to the docket this summer, and I couldn’t be happier to welcome him back to RVA this July. Throughout the awesome 60-minute chat Charlie and I get into:

1)    Social media as a tool to help educate coaches and grow as a professional  

2)    The line between raining and rehab, and why it may be translucent at best

3)    Work places culture’s impact on the success of rehab programs

4)    How teamwork, roles, and the hierarchy of positions drive culture in the performance and rehabilitation world.

5)    Where he sees the true role of leaderships positions, and how being in business has impacted this

6)    A change of perspective that could have a vastly positive impact on your teams’ culture

7)    The value of understanding what other people in your department do, while understanding where your role and lines you shouldn’t cost.

8)    Safety’s role in professional growth

This conversation, as they always are with Charlie, was sensational. I’m so happy to not just have him back on The Podcast, but cannot wait to have him here and back on the docket for The 2024 Edition of The Seminar. He’s always been a mentor and a great friend for as long as I’ve known him, and can’t wait for us all to be able to see him “in action” breaking down his approach to evaluating and programming in his presentation.

This conversation, just like every conversation I’ve ever had with Charlie has made me take a step back and reevaluate some things we are doing, and I hope it has had the same effect on you. If you found value in the show please help me out with three things: 1st, please share the show with a colleague that would find value in the show; 2nd, if you haven’t subscribed on your favorite podcast platform please do; and 3rd, if you wouldn’t mind leaving us a review on our podcast player of choice I’d truly appreciate it.
