    #277- Dr. David Tenney, Part 1- R2RR

    In this episode, we sit down with Dr. David Tenney, one of the pioneers of sports science and high performance leadership in North America. Tenney shares how his career evolved from practitioner to leader and why he became interested in studying the leadership competencies required to manage modern high performance teams. We discuss the changing landscape of professional sports, the growing complexity of performance departments, and the challenges that come with coordinating specialists across performance, medical, analytics, and coaching roles. We also explore the realities of managing external stakeholders, including agents, physicians, and families, and why communication and relationship building have become essential leadership skills. David offers practical insights on hiring the right people, developing collaborative environments, and creating multidisciplinary teams that move beyond simply working alongside one another to truly integrating their expertise in ways that improve athlete outcomes. A huge thanks to podcast sponsors, Sorinex and EliteForm, for making these episodes possible.

    #266 Coach Katie Guillory Episode 2-BSAR

    In the second half of this conversation, Katie Guillory shares a side of performance that has nothing to do with programming and everything to do with perspective. She opens up about a period where she had to step away from coaching completely after hitting a low point mentally, and how that decision ultimately changed the trajectory of her life. What followed was a series of events she couldn't have planned, including an experience at Winter Strong that would later play a role in helping save her life during a traumatic accident. This part of the conversation shifts from coaching to survival, and what it takes to stay composed and make decisions when everything is on the line. We also get into how she's rebuilt her life and identity after losing part of her leg, and what daily performance looks like now. Every decision, every movement, every part of her routine is intentional and calculated. She shares the mindset that carried her through the accident and continues to guide her today, focusing on truth over feelings and staying locked into what's in front of her. This isn't about motivation. It's about clarity, ownership, and choosing how to respond when life forces you into a situation you never saw coming.

    #265 Coach Katie Guillory Episode 1-BSAR

    In this episode, I sit down with Coach Katie Guillory from LSU, and right away you understand this isn't just a conversation about performance. Katie shares her journey from being a relentless competitor at LSU to now coaching at the highest level, and the path in between wasn't clean or easy. Multiple knee injuries, constant setbacks, and the reality of fighting to find her role shaped how she approaches performance today. She didn't always get the outcomes she wanted as an athlete, but she learned how to control what she could, show up for her team, and bring energy every single day. That mindset shows up in everything she does now as a coach. What makes this conversation hit differently is the perspective she brings after losing part of her leg in a jet ski accident and continuing to coach in one of the most physically demanding environments in sports. We talk about what it really means to lead, how energy sets the tone before you ever say a word, and why standards matter if you want to compete at an elite level. This isn't theory. It's lived experience. If you care about building real performance, it starts with how you show up, how you communicate, and the environment you create every single day.

    #264 Iron Neck, Mike Jolly, & Adam Davis, Part 2- R2RR

    In part two of this Research to Reps Roundtable conversation, we got practical and broke down what neck training actually looks like. Mike Jolly walked us through the fundamental Iron Neck exercises and explained why multi-planar movement, full ranges of motion, and neuromuscular control matter so much more than just loading the neck in one straight line. What stood out to me was the bigger principle underneath all of it: the neck is not fragile, and training it well is about preparing it to handle the demands of sport, life, and unexpected force from every angle. We also talked about common myths around neck training, why control matters just as much as strength, and how this work applies well beyond football to golf, baseball, motorsports, and any environment where posture, vision, reaction, and head stability all influence performance. We also spent time on the rehab and recovery side, which is where this conversation got even more interesting. Mike shared how athletic trainers, physical therapists, and sports medicine professionals are using Iron Neck not only after neck injuries, but also as part of concussion rehab and return-to-play progressions. That led us back to the deeper reason behind his work: protecting brains, especially in younger athletes whose brains are even more vulnerable to long-term damage. As I listened, I kept coming back to the responsibility we have as coaches, practitioners, and leaders to look deeper, question the easy answers, and train the body in ways that truly prepare people for what sport and life demand. This part of the conversation was a strong reminder that neck training is not a niche add-on. It is an important piece of resilience, recovery, and long-term athlete health.

    #263 Iron Neck, Mike Jolly, & Adam Davis, Part 1- R2RR

    In this Research to Reps Roundtable conversation, I sat down with Dr. Ernie Reimer, Coach Adam Davis, and Mike Jolly, founder of Iron Neck, to dig into a topic that deserves a lot more attention in performance training: neck strength. We unpacked Mike's personal motivation for creating Iron Neck after watching former teammates suffer from the long-term effects of brain injury, and we explored the research-based connection between neck strength, multi-planar control, and reducing the forces that contribute to concussions. What stood out in this discussion is that neck training is not just about collision sports or football players. It matters for soccer athletes, tactical populations, drivers, pilots, and really anyone whose performance depends on posture, head control, and the ability to manage force effectively. We also went beyond concussion prevention and got into the broader performance and quality-of-life applications of neck training. Coach Davis shared insights from decades of coaching athletes across levels, including how posture, range of motion, and control all influence resilience and function. Mike explained why so many people now turn to Iron Neck not only for performance but also for chronic neck pain tied to poor posture and "tech neck." I also shared my own experience from a serious motorcycle crash and why I believe neck strength and motor control played a real role in protecting me when it mattered most. This episode is a reminder that strength is not just about lifting more weight. It is about building the kind of durability, awareness, and neuromuscular control that shows up when life or sport puts you in a high-stakes moment.

    #262 Patrick Sapp, Ep. 2- BSAR

    n the second half, I talk with Pat about how his career evolved into building and leading outside of sports, and why he was able to impact so many different rooms without changing who he was. We dig into what development work really is and why raising major gifts is a competitive space that demands emotional control, resilience, and a deep understanding of people. Pat explains how learning the donor mindset, handling rejection, and finding someone's "why" became a training ground that translated into everything he did next. From there we shift into the work he is doing now in mental health, which is where the conversation gets real. Pat shares how COVID changed his perspective and pushed him to stop waiting and fully commit to his purpose as a therapist. We talk about stigma, the positives and negatives of how mental health is trending, and why men and boys seeking help is a major step forward. We also connect mental wellness directly to sports performance and longevity, and we reflect on the warning signs we missed with people we cared about. Pat closes by sharing where he wants to go next, including work in prevention, recovery, and supporting college athletes through high pressure decisions, along with a glimpse into the music and mindset that keeps him grounded.

    #261 Patrick Sapp Ep. 1- BSAR

    Patrick Sapp and I go way back to our rookie days with the San Diego Chargers, and this conversation starts right where it should: with relationships, loyalty, and what it means to take care of people when nobody is watching. We talk about how those early years in the league shaped us, what it really feels like to fight for a roster spot no matter where you were drafted, and the kind of leadership and mentorship that shows up in small moments but changes your whole path. Those Chargers teams had strong examples, and we both carried those lessons forward. We also discuss one of the most unique football journeys you will hear, as Pat walks through his decision to switch from quarterback at Clemson to linebacker. He breaks down the frustration, the competitive edge, the willingness to bet on himself, and how daily execution matters more than the size of the challenge. From there we talk transition, identity, and how he never allowed football to be the only thing he was. That mindset led him back to finish his degree, learn business through the right people, and step into high level development work where performance is measured in trust, relationships, and consistency.

    #260 Dr. Paul Comfort, Part 2- R2RR

    In part two of my conversation with Dr. Paul Comfort, we shift from exercises and metrics to the bigger picture of performance itself. We unpack what performance really means and why it can never be reduced to a single number or test. Performance is technical, tactical, physical, psychological, emotional, and relational. It is how the mind and body work together in real time and how individuals come together inside a team. Paul reinforces that we do not control performance, we influence it. That influence is shaped by belief, trust, communication, and cohesion across the entire performance team. This conversation challenges young professionals in particular to trade the illusion of control for the responsibility of leadership and adaptability. We then move into practical application around testing, assessment, and return to performance. Paul lays out how to structure testing batteries so fatigue does not distort results, why standardization matters, and how athlete behavior changes when you put numbers on a leaderboard. We explore how these same principles extend beyond sport into the military, where similar force and jump diagnostics are used to guide rehab and return to duty. His current work highlights a major gap in rehabilitation, where athletes regain strength but remain deficient in rapid force production. That missing piece may be what drives reinjury. This episode reminds us that data only matters if it changes what we do, and that true performance development lives at the intersection of science, psychology, and leadership.
