Customer Reviews
A must listen for any coach and athlete
Dan’s ability to simplify the often over complicated is amazing. His experience flows through his words and the thing I like the most is that Dan provides lessons and insights for life away from the weight room.
I wish Dan John was my uncle
I don’t know how he does it but every time I listen to this podcast, Dan gives me the wisdom I need, right when I need it. Thank you Dan!
