Legends of Athletics

In this great episode I have a very insightful discussion on sports with my boy and a fellow podcaster Deion Shaw. We discuss everything from Lebron, over active parenting, to the NBA’s balance of power. If you love sports and bright discussion this pod is for you. Listen listen listen. Comment, rate, and subscribe. BE LEGENDARY.

Quick thoughtful podcast on facing the demons, demands, and questions inside ourselves. Also, taking into perspective how much we mold our lives to gain validation from those in our social circles etc. I hope this podcast gives perspective and raises questions on what we are working for, and are we working to complete ourselves as we get older.

Sports is ever evolving from our practices, to hydrating, to equipment etc. So why do we still have old practices like static stretching before practice, training, & competition? In this episode I lay out some reasons that I don’t statically stretch my athletes before training. Not only does static stretching before training, competition etc decrease your performance but it also sends the wrong signals to the body. Ballistic stretching warms the core and primes the body for movement and competition. So why has this not become a phenomenon? I hope this episode helps athletes, coaches heck everyone to become better. As always remember do what legends do and BE LEGENDARY.

This episode covers the wide world of sports. We venture into discussing are extensive footwork drills helping or hurting the athlete, Kawhi’s free agency, and some tips to help football players before fall camp. Take a listen to this fun episode and leave some feed back. I appreciate you for listening, and as always BE LEGENDARY.

In this episode we discuss the weight losing weight while being broke. Giving advice on healthy food options and choices, how to make health part of your lifestyle, and creating balance. Losing weight isn’t an easy task, and it can be costly at times but it can be done while also being budget friendly. I hope this episode helps your tremendously. Remember, do the things that Legends do and BE LEGENDARY.

Wednesday motivation, are you serious about what you do? Do you honestly want to reach your goals, or is it just an idea you entertain because it sounds good. These are a few questions we must ask ourselves in order to know where we stand. Reaching a goal is no easy task but we must do the things necessary to get better each and every day. We have to progress through the process. Stop wasting time playing (social media, Netflix, etc.) and get busy putting the work in now so you can play later.

This episode is filled with another prolific power punch of reality. We discuss everything from the trauma of penal system and it’s effects, to life at a PWI (predominately white institution). This is a real discussion with real topics. Mental health is as important if not more important than physical health and it must be taken seriously. We heal from the heart by expressing the thoughts of the mind. So tune in to this episode and gain a different perspective, or maybe even learn something new. Remember, always get better each and everyday and BE LEGENDARY.

Over the years, plyometric and HIIT style workouts have taken over while isometric movements have become less popular. Isometrics have great benefits from getting past sticking points, to better muscle recruitment, and even some hypertrophy benefits. I would advise adding yielding isometrics to each one of your lifts, and if you’re looking to get stronger I would advise adding overcoming isometrics to your routine. I hope this episode enlightens you, and helps bring back isometrics into your routine. Remember, get 1% better each and everyday, and BE LEGENDARY.

Legends Wednesday, just a little hump day pep talk.

Passion? They say if you follow your passion, then you’ll never work a day in your life. Well, that’s true but to a certain extent. You see we all have a passion to do something in this life to drive towards a higher mark, something that will fulfill us. But, we have to have a drive to stay there and get to the level we want to get to. It’s not just about waking up, going to work, going home, and sleeping. It’s about really doing something worthwhile, that will bring happiness and impact the world. Life is to short to just live and die. Now I can’t tell you it’s easy to follow your passion because sometimes it’s not but it is worth it. Follow your dreams and see where it goes. Live it, breathe it, and love it, and follow the path that life takes you. BE LEGENDARY.
