The Exponential Athlete | Sports Performance

On a quest to compile the most complete study on sports performance ever created. What separates the greatest athletes, coaches, and teams from their competitors? What can we learn from these greats that we can apply to our own lives? This is a podcast made for elite professional athletes or others who want to reach the pinnacle of their field. We explore concepts from sports science, sports psychology, nutrition, neuro-science, exercise science, and much more.

    Understanding the Mental Health Endemic in Elite Athletes (Part 4)

    "Bob, the only coach I’ve ever had. He had trained me, punished me, motivated me, inspired me, and proven to me the connection between hard work and success. Bob has long been one of the very few people in my life to tell me the unadulterated truth, even when I didn’t want to listen. Perhaps most important, especially when I didn’t want to hear it." Outside of athletes, coaches may be the most important figures in all of sport. Often they start as parents or non-professionals eventually evolving into people who coach full time. Michael had one coach his whole career in Bob Bowman. Other athletes like Tiger Woods and Roger Federer have had many through their careers. In this episode we try to answer, what is the role of the coach? What is the breadth of value a coach can offer to an athlete. As part of this discovery, we also look into how coaches and athletes can communicate and build trust. Finally, we examine the role of the athletes themselves. 00:00:00 Intro 00:11:24 Outlining What is Possible 00:17:43 Setting Standards 00:29:48 Creating a Gameplan 00:37:40 Thinking Long Term 00:43:08 Research 00:49:57 Creating Adversity 00:58:34 Protecting the Athlete 01:02:55 Motivation 01:12:24 Goals 01:16:35 Perspective 01:20:11 Transparency 01:43:10 Building Trust 01:46:55 The Role of the Athlete Resources - Books - Beneath the Surface (Autobiography): https://amzn.to/4eJK4fk - No Limits (Autobiography): https://amzn.to/4h7zjVR - The Golden Rules: https://amzn.to/48g2vGb - 10X is Easier than 2X: https://amzn.to/4faohhe Resources - Podcasts: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9yrT2c-yyU&ab_channel=BlueWire - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-WwtG625sI - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISuQHEUpJW8 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aG5pLBH4-9s Resources - YouTube: - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHjtJLu5F24 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MheXi-r-hdU - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjMVZp0X_gw - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25c1ZYVF_f8 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1gqy5KJhww - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsBk_U8mhQA - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCPAl1yPKGk - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LoPcX1U3FU - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDsk9At6aEU - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErcP2VIbgus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8ZZS0qrVNw - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nw4YYKk-60I - Calories Burned in Pool - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nr-wf-EevUc - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xagTJo_vGTk - Characteristics of Champions - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkqjHRN11NM - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ao4fEglWqms - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sl1LJx1JEjU - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OelU90hH0QA - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmIUibhpyPc - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0Kma3WLbTQ Resources - Articles and Movies - https://www.si.com/olympics/2015/11/09/michael-phelps-rehabilitation-rio-2016 - The Weight of Gold

    The Tools Michael Phelps Used to Become the Greatest Olympian of All Time (Part 1)

    Michael Phelps is the most decorated Olympian and Swimmer of all time. He earned 28 medals, 23 of them gold. By the time of his retirement from swimming in 2016, he had won more Olympic medals by himself than 161 countries. Something he may be even more proud of is that he set 39 world records over the course of his career. While MP was very physically gifted, so were many other elite swimmers. He was able to accomplish these incredible feats because he was constantly in pursuit of ways to improve himself and his approach. The skills and techniques he learned he calls Tools. In this episode, we break down all of the tools Michael used to dominate swimming like no other. 00:00:00 Intro 00:02:45 Goal Setting 00:35:27 Dedication 00:56:32 Visualization 01:12:52 Game Time Tools 01:30:41 Dealing with Adversity 01:43:35 Self Motivation 02:23:28 Strategy and Technology 02:38:56 Curiosity Exponential Athlete Socials Twitter: ⁠⁠https://twitter.com/athletexpodcast Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/exponentialathlete/ LinkedIn: ⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-exponential-athlete-podcast Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4XmCCYsVVOVmRavFYT5b1C Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-exponential-athlete/id1726985417 Website: https://exponentialathlete.co/ Affiliates: Track your health data with Whoop.

    Why Even Elite Athletes Struggle to Manage Nutrition and Stress | Interview | Lauren Embree

    The aspects of life on the road often go overlooked by people pursuing their athletic peak. To better understand the extent that these outside factors can impact performance, I brought in Lauren Embree. As a junior, Lauren was ranked Number 1 in every age division in the US. She is a two time NCAA Champion and 5 time All-American at Florida and was recently inducted into the 2023 Florida Hall of Fame, She left college ranked #1 in the country, and as a pro, she was ranked top 250 in the world. She has played all around the world, and has a first person understanding of the challenges on the road. Since retiring from professional tennis, she coached college tennis, and now has transitioned her focus to functional medicine and nutrition. All aimed at helping athletes create better systems for their health. In this episode we touch on what makes an effective coach at all levels, the challenges associated with going up each level of sport, and how diet and stress could be the biggest kryptonite or secret weapon for aspiring athletes.

    The Knee Health Survival Guide for Athletes | Interview | Zak Woodward

    Right now, there is a very concerning trend in sports. Injury rates almost across the board are increasing at unprecedented levels. Knee injuries, in particular, are taking thousands of athletes out of play and jeopardizing their careers. According to the British journal of sports medicine and UCLA Health, knee injuries account for 41 % of all sports injuries. Anterior cruciate ligament injuries, specifically, have been increasing at endemic levels. From 2007 to 2022, the average ACL injury rate grew 25.9%. Tiger, Roger Federer, and Kobe, the three athletes we’ve studied thus far on the podcast have all had knee surgeries at some point in their career. Today, I brought in Zak Woodward to talk all about knee health. Zak is a performance coach who has built a career out of helping athletes recover from knee surgery as quickly as possible. His athletes have seen unprecedentedly low re injury rates. In today’s episode, I talk with Zak about why knee injuries are increasing, how athletes can lower risk of knee injury, and his philosophy on how athletes can come back stronger after surgery.

    The Brain’s Powerful (But Often Ignored) Role in Sports Performance | Interview | Zach Schonbrun

    In sports performance, we spend so much time talking about the tangible aspects size, speed, and strength, that we often overlook the colossal impact that the brain and the motor control system have on skill. Today I had the pleasure of interviewing Zach Schonbrun. Zach wrote the book, the performance cortex, which is a deep study into the often misunderstood ways that the brain impacts sports performance. In this episode we talk about how athlete brains differ from non-athletes, what is the real meaning of genius in athletes, and why promising new technology often doesn’t get adopted by elite athletes.
