  2. Jason Burton: Head Football Coach - Owyhee High School

    Jason Burton: Head Football Coach - Owyhee High School

    I've aways been drawn to Jason Burton's energy and passion with what he does. As the head coach, he's great at developing culture within a program. You cannot question the fact that his players will go to battle for him!  This interview is an inside look at Coach Burton's career and we learn about leadership, culture building, perseverance, and the life lessons that sports will teach you.  We also talk in depth about Athletes Against Anxiety and Depression. This is an amazing resource for those who battle with their mental health. From the website:  "China McCarney started the foundation Athletes Against Anxiety and Depression because he deals with Anxiety on a daily basis and felt the need and desire to “Be The Change” instead of waiting for a change. China resisted and fought his anxiety disorder for 5 years before he finally decided to attack it head on. He discovered that the second he embraced Anxiety as just being a part of who he was, just like all of his other attributes, it no longer had the severe crippling effect that it had in the past. As he began to study Anxiety and Depression he realized what a stigma the mental health issues had. That stigma is a huge part of the problem. People feel they have to be embarrassed because they are dealing with one or more of these issues and they hide and hold on to it as tightly as they possibly can."  If you'd like to learn more about this foundation, you can find out more by visiting the website: https://aaadfoundation.org/  You can also follow them on social media at: https://www.instagram.com/aaadfoundation/   If you enjoy learning about leadership, athletics, mental health, and perseverance, this isn't one you're going to want to miss!  Jason is a great guest and I'm grateful for the opportunity to learn from him!  #Leadership #Coaching #Culture

  3. Al Fontes: National Wrestling Hall of Fame Writer | TIER 1 Wrestling | Idaho Sports

    Al Fontes: National Wrestling Hall of Fame Writer | TIER 1 Wrestling | Idaho Sports

    Al Fontes is a National Wrestling Hall of Fame Writer, who has years and years of experience with the sport. And although writing wasn't his FIRST passion, he has now become one of the best to do it. His ability to break down the sport and cover the athletes involved, is incredible.  Today we get to hear from him and learn of his background in the sport and where he came from. We'll chat about wrestling in California as compared to here in Idaho and what he's learned while he's been covering the sport here in Idaho (since he moved here just a few short years ago).  We also break down the Girl's Wrestling too and discuss the immense growth that is happening on that side too!  It's an incredible opportunity to become enlightened as Al shares some serious insight with the rest of us.  What I would highly recommend is taking a look at TIER 1 Wrestling on Instagram to see the coverage he provides on social media. You can find his page here:  https://www.instagram.com/tier_one_idaho/  I'd also highly encourage you all to take a look at his content on IdahoSports.com  where he does the majority of his work these days.  - https://www.idahosports.com/blogs/blogger.aspx?bloggerid=12029  Below I'd love to share with you all a list of the work he's done as a writer throughout the last 25+ years (you'll understand just how good this man's work truly is)    ALFRED F.

    Tony Jimenez: Co-Founder of Slim Promotions | Bringing Professional Boxing Back to Boise

    Tony Jimenez is a former boxer himself and understands how deeply rooted the sport of boxing is here in the state of Idaho. He spent many years training as well, so now he's teamed up with his brother and other family members, to start Slim Promotions and help bring professional boxing back to the Treasure Valley!  It's been years since professional boxing has been here in Idaho, but now that it's making a return, you're going to want to tune in and listen to this one!  Listen to the details of this first card early in 2025 and see how you can either attend or how you can be part of this one.  As a former boxer and a major fan of the sport, it's exciting for me to bring on Tony with his knowledge of the sport and his dedication to it.  For the general fan base out there, this one is a great one to understand the difference between the boxing promotions and that of mixed martial arts. There are some details that cause things to be a tad different because of budget and how fighters get paid.  Make sure to follow the podcast and help us get to 1,000 subscribers on YouTube before the end of 2025!  If you’d like to listen to the show, you can catch the podcast on your favorite platforms: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-gametime-guru/id1195653965 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6bBJIiyOxs25BHKhKlCe23  Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/81800b66-fda2-4263-ac16-04c1c1d637a8/the-gametime-guru Tune In: https://tunein.com/podcasts/Sports--Recreation-Podcasts/The-Gametime-Guru-p1021721/ YouTube Music: https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLvbvSCliFvNWYadx9YugquysAbVz8Cb7i  _____________________________ If you are a business owner, and you have heard about ClickFunnels, then you know the power it can have on your business!!  EVERYONE is always looking for a discount to ClickFunnels, and I have it for you right here!  https://www.imallin.com/?aff=5cbea6d0-1f1c-435e-bf6f-489c8a4ac116-1WzEwLDIwNTZdc  If you want to get ClickFunnels at a MAJOR discounted rate, then click the link above and you can literally SAVE HUNDREDS PER YEAR on the subscription!  Get it TODAY!

    There are many people who aspire to be racers, but the problem is, it's an extremely expensive sport!! So how do you break the barriers of entry with the financials? Here's where David Cook and Racing Prodigy come in. David created Racing Prodigy!! From the Racing Prodigy website itself it states: "...Historically, the cost of pursuing a career in motorsports has been so daunting 99% of drivers never realize the opportunity or even dare dream of becoming a professional racer. As a result, most never get to experience the thrill of racing behind the wheel."  What you'll hear in this interview is how David and his team have taken the world of motorsports and eSports and have created an incredible SIM Racing platform that prepares aspiring racers for when it's time to actually get in the car!  You'll definitely enjoy what he has to say so 'buckle up' for this episode!  For more information on Racing Prodigy, head to: www.racingprodigy.com  You can also follow them on their social media channels:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/racingprodigy/  #RacingProdigy #eSports #SIMRacing #Motorsports #Racecardriver
