The Lion's Mane Podcast White Lion Performance

Coach Britt Wiebe joins us today to school us about training with a long-term focus. She explains the developmental league system within American baseball, and we compare structures and training approaches between US Baseball and EU Soccer. For anyone who has ever worked, played, or wished work/play in one of those leagues, this episode is well worth your time! We talk all things long-term development, what is important in S&C for young adult athletes, and how the Houston Astros structure their Latin American teams and trainings.

Vanessa Kara is a professional soccer player for Racing Louisville FC in the NWSL. Today she shares her process, and why THAT was the purpose for her, not necessarily the outcome. Through multiple major injuries, playing at two D1 schools, her three shots at the NWSL, playing in Europe, and many other hurdles, Vanessa found her way home: to herself. Whether you are an athletes looking to "make it" or just a human trying to develop in this life, sit back, grab a notebook, and get ready for this authentic, open conversation about the process.

Find Vanessa on Instagram or on the Louisville Homepage! Be sure to follow the next part of Vanessa's journey in the NWSL this season!!

In this episode, Bill Miller coaches us up on the importance of training rotation in and out of the gym. But it is not just about the rotation itself; it's about intensity, velocity, energy running through the kinetic chain, and teaching some body parts to rotate together while others must remain stiff for maximal power... don't know what any of that means? Cool. Listen to Bill break it down simply in this episode!

Let's talk about sexism, homophobia, and racism in sport! Many people like to gesticulate toward America and believe that only they can be so blatantly discriminatory - that would never happen in Germany! Right...?

Wrong! Let's talk about the "women's jobs" in pro sports, what coaches and athletes can do to support more women working in their teams or clubs, experiences of homophobia and outings, and what our responsibility is as white people to amplify BIPOC platforms, voices, and people into positions of influence in a white-washed industry that profits from athlete bodies.

Disclaimer: This episode is unedited. Even though I talk about anti-racism on my platform a lot, I am learning a ton and I want it to be clear that I fumble the language, that not all the work is done. Keep going!!

Ashley Pardo is NOT a dietician; she's a nutritional therapist with a life's worth of experience with food struggles, food's deliciousness, and food's freedom. She gives us the insider look at what is going on behind our societal and personal relationships with food, and how, by giving up our need for control with our substance of choice (food, drugs, alcohol, pain, training, etc.), we actually gain control.
