Robby Ellis: The Movement Doc - Changing the Game in the Neuro Orthopedic World
Robby Ellis is truly a 'movement specialist' and he does amazing work with people of all ages. I happened to come across his page on Instagram, because I follow a fighter he works with, Alan Belcher!
In this episode you're going to learn SO MUCH about Robby and what he's teaching people. Not only do we get to hear about his athletic background in sports (which includes college football) but we get to pick his brain on a variety of topics.
There's some great conversation regarding weight lifting (traditional) and whether or not it directly translates to the sports in which we're competing in. As well as the overall discussion of the 'linear' training and linear neuro patterns we create from repetitive training this way!
Super insightful interview coming your way today on this one!!
I would HIGHLY encourage you to checkout Robby's page. I personally have implemented some of his mobility training when I am warming up for workouts now, all because I enjoyed what he was sharing and I can tell you right now, it's worked for me! So I want you to take a look into his page and see what he's about!

The Jace Whiting Story: House of Hoopers Chronicles - From Overseas Adventures to Boise State Glory
The time has come, where we get to hear from yet another, member of the "House of Hoopers" also known as the Whitings.
As you may recall, I've had the blessing and honor of speaking with Trent and Amari on episode 238 of the show: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/episode-238-amari-and-trent-whiting-house-of-hoopers/id1195653965?i=1000553709136
And then not too long later, I spoke with Amber Whiting, on episode 254: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/interview-with-amber-whiting-head-coach-byu-womens/id1195653965?i=1000568434066
Now is our chance to hear from Jace, who is currently playing basketball at Boise State University and is in his Sophomore year. This interview is jam packed with insight that will be FANTASTIC for younger athletes!
Jace talks about his days growing up overseas while his dad was playing professionally, and what he took from being around his dad (Trent) all those years. Learning to respect and appreciate 'the grind' of the game. We also discuss the AAU experience for Jace and one of the turning moments for him as a basketball player that occurred.
Another very important topic of conversation, is Jace's mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He served a two year mission preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ, and returned home and went to play college basketball. We'll discuss his mission and how it helped him in his journey. We'll talk about getting back into basketball shape upon returning home, and chat about how that transition went getting back into the regular world.
And of course we'll discuss his time at Boise State thus far and what it has been like. What some of his favorite moments have been. Who his favorite teammates and competitors have been. And much more...
Oh and we'll get his insight on 'who the best Whiting hooper really is in that house haha"
This is such a great interview and I'm super grateful for Jace's willingness to join me amidst his busy schedule. Tap in and enjoy!

John Wheeler: Princeton Offense Guru
John Wheeler has a very high IQ when it comes to installing the Princeton Offense into basketball programs and making it work for their personnel.
I'll admit, for years, I was a major skeptic of the Princeton Offense. It seemed slow and behind the times in regards to the 'basketball of today' which typically is a faster pace, but after speaking with John and getting to know him better, it was VERY educational and insightful to gain his insight.
In today's interview, please get ready to take notes. And if you are like me, and had pre-conceived ideas of this topic, please come to this interview with an open-mind so you can be open to learning something new.
In our discussion John opens up about his time at Ohio State University where he actually was on the practice squad for the Women's Team?!! Yeah you heard that right. That's actually a thing, and this was in the early 2000s and he'll explain how that happened and how he even found himself in that position. But that was a moment in time that shifted John's career in a positive way.
With mentors that have helped guide him, John found a passion for coaching and now, because of his expertise, he is able to help SO MANY coaches and programs with his knowledge. He has taken his knowledge to the internet and provides courses and trainings on the Princeton Offense.
Get to know John today on the show and if you'd like to check out what he has to offer, I'd highly encourage you to checkout his site: https://theprincetonoffense.com/allaccess-optin
You can follow him on Social Media as well:
