    045 - Matt Wallden: Why You’re Not Broken, You’re Overloaded

    Matt Wallden: Why You’re Not Broken, You’re Overloaded In this episode of The Three Phase Podcast, Joe LaLeune sits down with Matt Wallden, one of the most respected educators and practitioners in osteopathy, rehabilitation, performance, and holistic health. Matt has spent more than 25 years helping athletes, coaches, therapists, and everyday people understand the deeper causes of pain, injury, and performance limitations. As a long-time CHEK Faculty member, clinician, educator, and consultant, his work challenges many of the assumptions commonly made in rehabilitation and performance training. Together, Joe and Matt explore why many injuries are not actually caused by the tissue that hurts, why recurring hamstring injuries continue to plague athletes despite modern rehabilitation approaches, how physiological load impacts performance and recovery, and why assessment remains the foundation of effective coaching and treatment. Whether you’re a coach, therapist, athlete, or simply someone interested in understanding the body at a deeper level, this conversation will challenge the way you think about health, performance, pain, and recovery. In This Episode Why “If you’re not assessing, you’re guessing” is more relevant than everThe Totem Pole Model and identifying the true driver of dysfunctionWhy hamstring injuries are often misunderstoodThe relationship between pain, injury, and tissue damageWhy imaging findings don’t always correlate with symptomsPhysiological load and the hidden stressors affecting recoveryLifestyle factors that influence injury risk and healingLessons from elite sport and decades of clinical practiceHow to think more holistically about health and performanceConnect With Matt Wallden Website:  https://mattwallden.com Email:  enquiries@mattwallden.com FC2O Podcast:  Search “FC2O Podcast” on your favourite podcast platform.

    044 - AJ Zeglen - Performance Based Psychotherapy

    This episode with AJ Zeglen went way deeper than strength and conditioning. AJ is the founder of Invictus Performance and has spent years working with hockey players and high-performing athletes. He’s now also working as a psychotherapist, and this conversation explored the overlap between physical performance, mental resilience, confidence, communication, and identity. We talked about why elite athletes struggle with confidence more than people think, why so many coaches misunderstand “mental toughness,” and how unresolved stress eventually shows up somewhere — physically, mentally, or emotionally. One of the biggest themes throughout the episode was the importance of relationships. AJ explained how research in psychotherapy shows that the strongest predictor of positive outcomes isn’t the technique or strategy being used — it’s the quality of the relationship itself. That led into a really interesting discussion about coaching, leadership, communication, and why body language and trust matter so much in high-performance environments. We also got into: Why Norway’s athlete development model is getting attentionThe danger of outcome-based identityHow athletes get stuck in negative feedback loopsPractical mental reset tools used by high performersWhy resilience is built through progressive exposure to challengeHow coaches can better support athletes beyond performanceWhat stood out to me most was how many of these ideas apply outside of sport too. Leadership, pressure, confidence, emotional regulation, communication — this stuff shows up everywhere.

    043 - Angie Chek - Soul Loss, Healing, and What We’re Missing About Health

    What does it actually mean to be a shaman in the modern world? In this episode of the Three Phase Podcast, I sit down with Angie Chek — certified nutritionist, biologist, and CHEK Institute faculty member — to explore a side of health and healing that most people feel… but don’t fully understand. We get into shamanism, soul loss, soul retrieval, past lives, and how unresolved experiences — whether from this life or beyond — can continue to influence your physical, mental, and emotional state. Angie breaks down how healing isn’t just about what you can measure. It’s about what’s happening underneath — in your energy, your environment, and your relationship with yourself. We also dive into: What soul loss actually looks like in real lifeHow trauma, stress, and identity shape your healthThe role of environment and biogeometry in healingWhy some people never fully recover — even when they’re doing everything “right”How your perception of death changes when you experience this work directly This is a deeper conversation — but an important one. Even if you don’t agree with everything, it will challenge how you think about health, performance, and what it means to actually heal.

    042 - Charlotte Sobolewski - The Human Edge in a Data-Driven World

    We’re surrounded by more data than ever, but that doesn’t mean we’re making better decisions. In this episode, I sit down with Charlotte Sobolewski — a former high-level endurance athlete and now working in AI, governance, and strategy — to break down what actually drives performance when pressure, fatigue, and uncertainty are all in play. This conversation isn’t about tools. It’s about judgment. We get into what data can tell you, what it can’t, and why the ability to make decisions under pressure is still a human skill that can’t be outsourced. Charlotte shares how she approached preparation at an elite level, how that translates into her work in AI, and where people are starting to rely too heavily on systems instead of thinking for themselves. If you’re trying to perform at a high level — in sport, business, or life — this episode will challenge how you think about data, pressure, and responsibility.

    041 - The Fuel Problem: Why Hard-Training Athletes Still Struggle to Improve

    Most athletes believe that if they train harder, the results will come. But training is only the signal for the body to improve. The real progress happens during recovery, and that process depends heavily on whether the body has the fuel it needs to rebuild. In this episode, Joe LaLeune breaks down one of the most common performance problems he sees with athletes at every level: under-fueling their training. Drawing from sports nutrition research, lessons from legendary strength coach Charles Poliquin, and real coaching experience, Joe explains how energy availability, glycogen restoration, and protein intake influence recovery, strength gains, and long-term performance. If you’ve ever felt like you’re training hard but not seeing the results you expect, this episode will help you understand what might actually be missing.

    040 - Dennis Joyce - The Truth About College Recruiting

    College recruiting has become loud, expensive, and emotional. In this episode of the Three Phase Podcast, Joe LaLeune sits down with Dennis Joyce — better known as Laxdad — to break down what families consistently get wrong about college lacrosse recruiting… and what actually matters. This isn’t a hype conversation. It’s a real discussion about fit over logos, development over panic, and making decisions that still make sense four years from now. Whether you’re navigating lacrosse, hockey, football, soccer — or simply making high-pressure life decisions — the principles in this episode apply. Inside this conversation: The biggest mistakes families make with early commitmentsWhy most showcase money is wastedHow to interpret real recruiting interest versus noiseWhy system fit matters more than prestigeThe role of coach honestyAnd why patience may be the most underrated advantage in recruiting If you value clarity over chaos, this episode will give you a smarter framework.

    039 - Anastasia Berezowsky - Train your mind like a muscle

    We train our bodies with reps, progressive stress, and structure — but expect our minds to handle pressure without the same preparation. In this episode of the Three Phase Podcast, Joe sits down with Annie Berezowsky of Birch Grove Wellness to explore what it actually means to train the mind like a muscle. They discuss emotional reps, distress tolerance, nervous system capacity, and mental flexibility — and how these skills determine whether you stay steady or crack under pressure. This is a grounded, practical conversation for high performers, athletes, professionals, and anyone who wants resilience that actually holds up in real life.

    038 - The Hidden Cost of Olympic Years

    Every Olympic year, injuries seem to show up at the worst possible time. Athletes who have trained intelligently for years, supported by world-class coaches and medical teams, suddenly break down right when performance is supposed to peak. This episode explores why that pattern exists — not from a place of blame or criticism, but from an honest look at how training cycles behave under pressure. In this solo episode, Joe unpacks why Olympic years place unique demands on the body, how accumulated stress and recovery debt quietly build over long timelines, and why injuries often appear late in the cycle rather than during the heaviest training phases. The conversation separates unavoidable, catastrophic injuries from breakdown-style injuries that emerge through load density, disrupted recovery, and compressed timelines. Using real Olympic-year scenarios without naming or blaming, Joe connects what happens at the highest level of sport to lessons that apply to coaches, athletes, and anyone navigating high-pressure seasons in training, work, or life. This episode covers: Why injury risk changes during Olympic yearsHow pressure, travel, and recovery debt interact with training loadThe difference between accumulated injuries and unavoidable sport-related injuriesWhat Olympic cycles reveal about peaking and long-term planningHow the same principles show up during work deadlines, busy seasons, and compressed timelinesWhat to watch for as the Winter Olympic events unfoldThis isn’t an episode about doing less. It’s about understanding how stress accumulates, why margin matters, and how to protect recovery when performance actually counts.
