If you've ever struggled with mental health, been in a shooting slump or lacked motivation to get to the gym it's possible simply getting outside and seeing some green could help much more than you realizeStudies show that you access to green space is important for mental health and is associated with longevity and decreased risk of mental illness, as well as causing greater feelings of revitalization  and positive engagement. All types of green exercise activities also improved self-esteem and negative mood sub-scales such as tension, anger and depression. Green exercise has also been shown to reduced RPE, which in turn increases workload and motivation levelsThe second part of this episode I talked about the importance of variability and its role in decreasing chance of injuryMake sure to follow me on IG for more content!https://www.instagram.com/tc.performance_/

Matt Dyck is a player development coach in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada. Matt is a phenomenal guy that has the best intentions, he's passionate about what he does which is the development of his players. His mission: provide an experience and support that he didn't get, and help anyone he can get to the level he couldn't. In Canada player development isn't as valued as it is in the states, and because of that Matt had to make a decision: take little to no money and train basketball players because he loved it or do something a little more lucrative. He chose to do what he's passionate about, that decision ended up bringing him to a situation where after a few years, perseverance and hard work players approached him wanting to pay him. That was his sign to start his own brand and program "Atlas Basketball"  where he trains a lot of the basketball players in his area now.Matt is also passionate about the games-based approach and SSG's, he talks a little about it and why he loves them and why they're so present in his training sessions. He and I talk a little about confidence during our playing days and how Matt constructs an environment to breed confidence in his players naturally. We also talk about the importance of mentorship within Matt's career thus far and the importance of having a good group of people around you, Matt uses the phrase "collaborative competitiveness" when speaking about the people he has in his circle and how they constantly motivate him in the best way.Check out Matt's stuff:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/atlas_basketball/Website - https://www.atlasbasketball.com/

Bobby Whyte is commonly known for his "Good Drills" on instagram at this point, some could consider these drills as "clown drills" but when you actually look into the rhyme & reason behind what he's doing and ask a simple question of "why?" you'll come to find that he's extremely detailed and there's intention behind everything he doesIn my opinion Bobby is one of the best player development trainers in the world, he does a phenomenal job blending both performance & skill, building the PEOPLE in front of him (not just the athlete), staying true to himself and getting the most out of every single session he puts onThis episode Bobby and I have a very real conversation about skills training, what exactly drives a "traditional" skills training approach to development, social media and marketing yourself but not losing your integrity at the same time, strength training and so much moreBobby has a personality that may not be for everyone, but he's okay with that. He's true to himself and is the unapologetically himself for a reason, the people that matter stick around both his athletes and regular people in his life. This is truly a great episode and I'm happy Bobby took the time out of his day to chat with me!Check out Bobby of social:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/bobbywhyte/Online program - https://www.hypowersystems.com/hypower-performance-v21655422788388

What can we learn from different opinions? Is it bad to disagree?Are you stubborn or open-minded?Do we benefit from being contrarian?These are some questions I ponder in this weeks episode, it's inevitable that we'll disagree with someone about something in our lives and especially when you're in a field that has differing philosophies like training.There are a lot of ways to do the same thing out there, and I don't think that's a bad thing. I think it's a bad thing when you're completely close-minded to others opinions and perspective  

Josh has been Jeremy's trainer since his days at Harvard, through Linsanity and still with him today. He's been with him as his player development coach as well as an assistant coach with the Beijing Ducks of the CBA.Josh describes himself as a "professional learner" and he is absolutely that, he's extremely intelligent, intuitive and constantly listening with intent. You can tell by the way he speaks and through his thought process that he's amassed quite a bit of knowledge on his journey with Jeremy from multiple strength coaches and skill development coaches at the highest level.It was truly a treat to get Josh on the podcast, you guys will wanna listen to every second of this one. Josh's social media & youtube:IG - https://www.instagram.com/coachjoshfan/YT - https://www.youtube.com/c/AwakenTraining

Mike G is most commonly known as Jrue Holiday's performance coach, aside from that Mike is an incredible person. Having the honor of meeting him two times now and speaking with him both times, he has an energy about him that's truly unmatched. He makes everyone around him better.He's extremely passionate about his craft and his job, this episode is great because we talk a good amount of training but also Mike talks about the intangible things that aren't necessarily talked about enough in my opinion, things like: emotional intelligence, the importance of being adaptable as a coach, doing and not just consuming and so much more.I really hope you guys are locked in for this one because Mike brought a lot of great value!Follow Mike!!https://www.instagram.com/mrdoitmoving/GBG Hoops:IG - https://www.instagram.com/gbg.hoops/App - https://train.gbghoops.com/users/sign_up.html/?checkout=trueSee Mike speak in-person (TripleThreatU) - LA, Dallas or Miami https://linktr.ee/triplethreatu

Ben Teer is the biggest basketball trainer in the state of Maine, and not only Maine but he's also recognized as one of the best in America. It was great to chop it up with Ben especially seeing that I'm also a trainer out of Maine.We talk about the development that Maine has seen since he started (2015) and what's helped get the state where we are now, we talk about how powerful your perspective can be, how important it is to not be someone else and to really step into your own legacy, he gave some insight on what it's been like building his social media as well as running a very thriving business essentially all by himself (hint - it's pretty hard).Ben is really good dude and I'm glad I was able to connect with him, he does a lot for the state Maine and basketball within the state.Ben Teer's IG: https://www.instagram.com/coachbenteer/
