    13. Coach Kyle of Relentless Hockey - Hockey Strength & Conditioning Coach

    Relentless Hockey was created with the pursuit of better. https://www.relentlesshockey.com/ Created in 2016, by former elite hockey player turned Performance Coach Kyle Kokotailo, Relentless Hockey was built to bridge the gap between Strength & Conditioning and on-ice performance with the training players truly need to enhance their performance. Started in Burlington, Ontario –  Relentless Hockey garnered the attention of elite players for having training that they actually noticed on the ice. As players returned to their teams across North America or overseas, they wanted to continue training Relentless and started requesting workout programs they could be doing on their own. Seeing the results - many of their teammates started reaching out for their own programs. After sending hundreds of PDFs to players across the world, we set out to create a better training tool that would allow players to have videos of exercises, track their workouts, and have more support from our team - this led to the creation of the Relentless Hockey App. Today, Relentless Hockey works with hockey players playing in over 10 countries along with teams & organizations across North America. They continue to push players to their game to the next level & pursue better.

    9. Dr. David Meyer PT, DPT, CSCS - Author of Injured to Elite, former MLB Rehab Coordinator

    After serving the St. Louis Cardinals as their Medical and Rehabilitation Coordinator, Dr. David Meyer PT, DPT wrote “Injured to Elite: A Guide to Empowering Yourself to Transform Your Life After Injury”, to empower the world with a newfound mental approach to physical rehab. As a Sports Performance-oriented Physical Therapist, he graduated with his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from New York University. After completing an advanced sports residency training program at the world-renowned Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, he served as the Medical and Rehabilitation Coordinator for the St. Louis Cardinals for three years from 2015 through the 2017 season. This was a dream of his that came to fruition after playing baseball throughout his entire life into the collegiate level. During his time working for the Cardinals, he discovered a new appreciation for the psychological implications of sports rehabilitation after seeing the profound impact it had on players and began developing a comprehensive approach to integrating mental skills and strategies into the physical rehabilitation process. While now serving as an advocate for athletes going through adversity and working towards advanced credentials with the Association of Applied Sports Psychology, as a Certified Mental Performance Consultant, his mission has become to “Empower those facing physical challenges to transform their lives through an optimal state of body, mind, and spirit.” Currently, he resides in New York with his soon-to-be wife (the wedding was delayed by COVID). David has now created a community of developing sports professionals and athletes that all identify with being an underdog, in order to change the future of sports performance and healthcare. https://www.amazon.com/Injured-Elite-Empowering-Yourself-Transform/dp/0578712008 https://drdavidmeyer.com/ https://www.instagram.com/davemmeyer/

    8. Colt Blunt - Cancer Survivor, Cancer Advocate, and All Around Badass

    Colt was dealt bad hand after bad hand, and this quote from Chief Tecumseh is one that he has held to heart throughout his journey of getting diagnosed with stomach cancer in his mid 30s, being told he had a slim chance of surviving, going through several rounds of chemo, and getting his stomach surgically removed. Roughly a year later, he's on the podcast with me, cancer free, telling his story and having a glass of scotch...without a stomach. When I edit these episodes, I look for short excerpts to make these little videos for Instagram and it's usually easy to find 2 or 3 awesome snippets. With Colt, there were so many and it was hard to pick which ones to use. So just listen to the whole episode because this guy is next level. Check out Debbie's Dream Foundation (debbiesdream.org), which is an organization that helped Cole out when he was diagnosed, as well as Hope for Stomach Cancer (stocan.org), which is another great organization. Both organizations do a ton to provide resources to patients and caregivers, advocate nationally for increased funding for stomach cancer, and partner internationally with experts in the field to further our understanding of stomach cancer. Cole has also contributed to a book series edited by Travis Langley, who wrote Batman and Psychology: A Dark and Stormy Knight. The books are written by a group of mental health professionals who refer to themselves as the Psych Geeks. They've published books looking at a number of popular franchises through a psychological lens, including The Walking Dead, Star Wars, Star Trek, Game of Thrones, Supernatural, the Joker, and others. You can find them on our Facebook page or at your local bookseller.
