The Best Strength Coach in the NFL w/ Coach Joe Kenn - The Barbell Life

Known simply as "House" to players, Joe Kenn's goal as the Panthers' strength and conditioning coach is to protect and produce: protect the athletes' body armor and produce athletic based results. He is entering his ninth season with Carolina. He employs a holistic and integrated philosophy in his comprehensive training plan that utilizes strength training, explosive development, high intensity interval training and performance-based nutrition. It is a structured approach that enhances players' physical attributes.   An accomplished strength and conditioning coach, Kenn's program was instrumental in Carolina's recent run of success with four playoffs appearances since 2013, tied for the second-most playoff berths in the NFC over that six-year period. In that span, the Panthers recorded 58 wins, tied for the most in any six-year period in franchise history, and fifth-most in the NFL. He was instrumental in Carolina’s 15-1 season in 2015 and trip to Super Bowl 50. For his efforts, Kenn was named the 2015 NFL Strength Coach of the Year in a vote by his peers.

Active Life Radio 12: SPECIAL EPISODE - Is the USA becoming too unhealthy to stay a military power? With Air Force Special Forces Lt. Colonel Heath Kern

Show Overview:  The United States makes up 5% of the world’s population and consumes 80% of the world’s pharmaceutical drugs. That’s a huge problem for the military, and for the country. Many drugs that are taken in the US are taken by children and adolescents. A percentage of those drugs are disqualifying for military service. Some of the drugs cause side effects that cause weight gain and lethargy which are also, ultimately, disqualifying for military selection. If we don’t get ourselves healthy as a Country from the youth on up, we face some serious problems. If the adults don’t lead from the front, the children will fall from behind.  Obesity, drug use, mental health disorders, and so many more issues plague our youth, and yet, in many ways, our military special forces represent an equal, opposite. The reverence that our Special Operators in the military are held in can make these extraordinary men and women seem virtually unattainably virtuous.  In this interview with Dr. Sean, Lt. Colonel Heath Kern breaks down what it takes to go from every day American to American Hero, and you might be surprised what he says.  US Air Force Special Ops Minute Breakdown: 0-10 - What’s at stake? 11-20 - The joy of living a life to your calling. 21-30 - Do different branches of the military get along? 31-40 - How do you reconcile wanting to serve and not wanting to need war to do it? 41-49 - What are we going to do about health issues facing the country?

Intense Q&A - Interviewed By My Intern — Real Chalk #94

For the first time ever, I am being interviewed on my own podcast. I get thousands of people who apply every year to shadow me or intern at my gym "CHALK" here in Orange County. I always say no. However, I finally had someone walk in and introduce themselves that I happen to like and I said yes for once. To give him the best experience possible and in efforts to answer any questions he may have, I had him interview me and ask whatever he wants. I said "nothing is off limits" and he absolutely killed it. Lots of great business stuff, personal stuff, and a bunch of hilarious banter. This show needed to happen for a while.
