Ep. 53 | Winning In The Offseason Physically - Interview with Chris Kerr (Assistant Athletic Director of Sports Performance at Liberty University)
In this episode, I interview Chris Kerr from Liberty University on how to maximize our physical training in the offseason. We discuss how to get faster, stronger, put on weight, and increase conditioning level. We also address best practices for pro athletes, college, and youth.
In his first year Chris was on staff to see the first two National Championships captured in the Liberty University Club Sports department's history in both Wrestling and the Women's D1 Hockey team. He has continued to coach teams that have gone deep into their respective National Tournaments, some coming away with more National Titles.
Chris holds several certifications:
United States Weightlifting Level 1: 2019
Reflexive Performance Reset: 2018

Ep. 51 | Mental Toughness - Be Strong
In this episode, we discuss the need to "Be Strong." Our strength increases when we talk to ourselves instead of listen to ourselves, increase our belief, and surrender to Christ.
"Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong. Let all that you do be done in love." (1 Cr. 16:13-14)

Customer Reviews
A true leader.
Gary is a genuinely enthusiastic and incredibly passionate leader. Honestly, I don’t think this gentleman has ever had an “off” day. He pushes himself as hard in the spiritual arena as he did when he played hockey professionally. This podcast is well worth the listen!
A modern day Barnabas!
Gary is a friend, a shepherd, a discipler, and a follower of Jesus. But his hallmark is that of Encourager. Gary is a modern day Barnabas, and you’ll be blessed to get to know him through this podcast channel. His love for Jesus and the Word of God is contagious. Getcha some!
Encouraging and uplifting messages
Gary has such a positive and encouraging way of sharing his heart and God’s word!
