What he discovered sounds really exciting.   Although Hillsdale has limited places each year on their clay target team, they do have spots available. Better yet, Jordan believes that there is a school match across the US for just about any student who wants to pursue the sport of clays shooting while studying for their degree.   Listen to the podcast for Bob’s entire discussion with Jordan Hintz on his recommendations for what students can do to incorporate their sport into their planning for their college years.

    NCAA/U SPORTS Scholarships | The recruiting edge

    "Just like a company looks to create an edge and find something that differentiates its product or service, an athlete is going to look for that opportunity to separate themselves from the pack as well." Zach Weissbach In this ZoneTalk episode, we speak with Zach Weissbach, President of Visionary Sports and Development, and former Vice President of Hudson Athletic Recruiting in Canada. When Zach played junior-level hockey, he saw a real need for athletic advice and assistance, particularly with respect to college scholarship opportunities, which would have been highly valuable for him when he was a young athlete looking at his future. Now in his current role, he has the opportunity to influence the future of up and coming athletes. With sound, practical advice and comprehensive services for scholarship seekers, parents and coaches, his company aims to maximize the opportunities for pursuing athletic scholarships and financial aid packages to post-secondary institutions in both the US and Canada. This is especially critical at this time of the COVID-19 crisis when many sports have stalled.

    Goals to Gumballs | One athlete's resiliency

    What do you do when you want to solve a problem? You simplify it with a powerful metaphor.In this week's ZoneTalk podcast episode, I sat down with Matthew Cartisser, a resilient and successful young athlete who is currently prepping for college, with aspirations of being a surgeon. Matthew is no ordinary athlete. First, he chose to take up trap shooting, a sport that none of his friends participated in. And second, he started his life behind the eight ball, so to speak, with a benign cancerous facial growth at 12 months of age. He fought back with incredible strength during multiple surgeries only to get Lockjaw after facial reconstruction. At that moment, his simple dream was that someday he would be able to chew a gumball – and he successfully climbed that mountain.  From that day on, Matthew has represented every new goal and challenge in his life as just another "gumball" ...win competitions...make the national All-American all-star team...graduate from college...become a surgeon. Matthew talks to us about his journey, his challenges and the gumball machine he received from his surgical team. Regardless of your sport, there are some great take-aways in this podcast that are applicable to athletes and their coaches on aspiring to great success in your sport, school and life.

    Coaching the Olympian Way | An Olympian's approach to coaching an athlete

    “I look for the fire that someone has inside them. When someone has the fire, they're the ones who love to work. They love to go train. Most skills are teachable, but if they lack the fire, they lack that desire of what motivates them to want to succeed. That's the one thing you can't teach.”  Two-time Olympian, Don Kwasnycia, talks with Bob Palmer about how his experience as an Olympic competitor shaped him for his current role as the head skeet coach for the Canadian Shooting Federation (SFC-FTC), a member of the ISSF. As a coach for the next generation of Canadian Olympians, Don gets his best results when he builds trust with his athletes, where they create a bond to stay in the Zone, both in practice and in competition. As their coach, he encourages and supports them by being their rock, fanning the flames of the “fire within”, and by taking a “team approach” to supporting all aspects of their game (technical, fitness, nutrition, mental training) in order to help them achieve what they want in their lives. Now that’s coaching!
