    PREP Talks Episode 013 - Drew Mitchell: Sport for Life and Physical Literacy

    In Episode 013, I sit down with a long-time friend, Drew Mitchell, to discuss the importance of physical activity and overall physical literacy amongst our youth. Living through a global pandemic the past year has amplified the concerns around both physical and mental health. Physical activity has declined while mental health issues have increased. We identify some of the key environments for promoting physical literacy and discuss the importance of working with schools for providing resources and programming around fitness, play, sport and general physical activity. Drew also points out that the competitive sports model isn’t for everyone, and may only serve a small minority of kids, while alienating the larger youth population. Resources must be provided a multiple levels, reaching teachers, coaches, parents, recreation centers, sport organizations and kids. COVID-19 has made it difficult to implement a lot of these programs in person, but has also created other opportunities for disseminating useful resources for all groups. Drew Mitchell is the Director of Physical Literacy for the Sport for Life Society and works as a consultant focused on the development of physical literacy at the community level and promoting the Canadian Sport for Life Movement. He is a graduate of Simon Fraser University with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology. Drew has worked extensively in the sport system as an educator and developer of programs for the past 19 years. He managed Sport Technical and Performance Services for viaSport BC and was the Manager of Science & Medicine programs for SportMedBC where he worked with over 50 different sports at the local, provincial and national level. He is also a past member of the Canadian National Canoeing Team and the former Health & Lifestyle Coordinator at the Downtown Vancouver YMCA. Drew has been involved in sport and fitness for over 40 years as an athlete, coach, administrator, volunteer, developer and manager.

    PREP Talks Episode 012 - Fergus Connolly: Lessons in Lifelong Learning

    In Episode 012, I had the pleasure of meeting up once again with Fergus Connolly to discuss his thoughts on education and learning in the field of sport performance and, quite honestly, any field in modern times. We discuss the traits of great leaders and mentors, and the importance of communication and critical thinking. But having good teachers is not enough. A reduction in opportunities for social interaction in educational settings has also been a problem for young people in the last few years, with students having less one-on-one opportunities with teachers and mentors. When teachers have an opportunity to spend quality time with students and apprentices, more than just information will be passed on and consumed. Within organizations, there is also a need to improve social interactions amongst practitioners to enhance their overall synergy as a performance and medical team. Sometimes these organizations need a professional consultant external to their team to come in and facilitate better communication and improved efficiency internally, taking advantage of the expertise already present within an organization. And, finally, organizing your own teaching materials into a presentation or a course forces you to really rethink your approach and examine your philosophy in a critical manner. In a way, it is an internal knowledge audit that all of us should do on a regular basis. Dr. Fergus Connolly is one of the world's leading experts in team sport and human performance. His highly acclaimed book Game Changer is the first blueprint for coaches to present a holistic philosophy for winning in all team sports. Fergus is the only coach to have worked full time in every major league around the world. He helps teams win at the highest level with the integrated application of best practices in all areas of performance. Fergus has served as Director of Elite Performance for the San Francisco 49ers, Sports Science Director with the Welsh Rugby Union, and Performance Director for University of Michigan Football. He has guided coaches, support staff and players in the NBA, Australian Rules Football and international cricket. Fergus has also trained world boxing champions and advises elite military units and companies across the globe.

But we find out that Gerard has also been slowly developing his skills on the communication side to enhance what he brings from a performance and medical side to helping individuals with their general health and wellness.

    PREP Talks Episode 009 - Michelle Boland: Being 'All In' With Your Career

    In Episode 009, we speak with Dr. Michelle Boland about her journey from young athlete to dedicated scholar and then to passionate practitioner. Michelle is someone who pursued an education in performance after having a successful athletic career, combing her passions with her career goals. Once she began to work with athletes in a university setting, she was hooked on the coaching profession and wanted to apply her knowledge in a way that empowered athletes and individuals to accomplish their goals in a timely manner, using the best methods. We discover that there were people and decisions along the way that helped nudge Michelle into directions that ultimately made her the professional she is today. It may have been a key person that encouraged her or pushed her to do something that initially Michelle Boland grew up in central Massachusetts where her interest for athletics and playing sports began. She played soccer, basketball, and ran track at the collegiate level while studying Nutrition. After reflecting on her life passion for athletics and sports performance training, she decided to pursue a higher education degree in strength and conditioning (M.S.) and exercise physiology (PhD) at Springfield College (MA).

    PREP Talks Episode 007 - Tommy Christian: Boosting Performance with Passion and Precision

    In Episode 007, we sit down with Tommy Christian, coach and owner at TC Boost based in the Greater Chicago, Illinois area. Tommy tells us about his career as a Division 1 football player at Northwestern University at the linebacker position, and how his training allowed him to play at a very high level. However, a significant injury halted his football career and he was forced to fall back on his academic accomplishments as a mechanical engineer. After almost 5 years working successfully in the engineering field, Tommy made the decision to get back into sports and take an unpaid internship at Northwestern University. To some, it would seem to be a crazy decision to leave a good paying career and change lanes into what one may consider a less stable and less lucrative career. But Tommy jumped in with both feet and instantly knew it was the right decision. After working several years as a university speed coach, Tommy made the transition to opening his own business and creating a path with TC Boost and hasn’t looked back. He has found ways to grow the business and endure hard times with the recent COVID pandemic. Tommy’s story provides a great message about following your passions and executing them with precision. Tommy Christian, Director of Training, is one of the top sports performance coaches in the country. He is the former Assistant Director of Strength and Conditioning for Northwestern University (2000–2002). For the past ten years he has lead the Northwestern University football team’s speed development program, achieving a resume of experience and results that are unmatched in the Chicago-land area. Tommy was also the former starting inside linebacker for the Wildcats under Coach Gary Barnett (1992). During his playing career at Northwestern he was the top Iron Cat point winner for his combination of speed, strength, explosiveness, and stamina. Because of his background, Tommy has an extraordinary ability to assimilate data, analyze it logically, and combine it with the knowledge he’s acquired from his own experience in sports to create results-driven training programs. In addition, he also consults with the strength and conditioning staff to assist in speed development of all the university’s athletic programs. A Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) with the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), Tommy also holds the Etcheberry Certification for Tennis.

    PREP Talks Episode 006 - Doug Kechijian: Tactical and Practical Education

    In Episode 006, we are joined by Doug Kechijian to talk about the lessons learned through his education in both the military and the more conventional academic path for physical therapy school. We discuss the roles of both a practical based, hands-on education and one involving a conventional classroom setting and more theoretical approaches. With the last year of lockdowns and limiting social gathering, education has taken a more distanced approach with less hands-on learning involved. We ask Doug if we can integrate the best of both worlds to make sure that students receive a complete education under these circumstances and in the near future. We also wonder if this can be accomplished using ‘virtual’ techniques and technology, with brick and mortar educational setups being a thing of the past. This interview is a must listen for anyone involved in education and professional development for agile professionals. Doug Kechijian is a physical therapist and CEO and co-founder of Resilient Performance Systems. Resilient seeks to systematically explore the continuum between acute rehabilitation and athletic performance. Resilient’s clientele includes athletes and operators from Major League Baseball (MLB), National Basketball Association (NBA), professional mixed martial arts, X Games, Winter and Summer Olympics, Major League Lacrosse (MLL), National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), federal law enforcement tactical teams, military special operations forces, and those with a history of persistent pain and extensive surgical backgrounds. Resilient also advises organizations about medical and performance staffing, program development, and injury risk mitigation strategies. Before beginning his sports medicine practice, Doug was a Pararescueman in the U.S. Air force where he deployed throughout the world to help provide technical rescue capability and emergency medical care to U.S and allied forces. He is a nationally certified paramedic with advanced training in emergency, trauma, and wilderness medicine. In 2015, he was selected as one of the U.S. Air Force’s Outstanding Airmen of the Year. Doug received his AB in Biology from Brown University and MA in Exercise Physiology/Doctor of Physical Therapy from Columbia University.
