Rooted in Substance

Rooted in Substance

“Rooted in substance.” This is a snippet I took from Coach Dan Lanning’s pregame speech before Oregon faced off against Colorado earlier this football season. In today’s society we easy get lost in the likes, follower counts, and pageantry causing us to miss the substance of what we are doing and why. Often we misstep or lose ourselves in the commotion of social media. Men lie women lie but numbers don’t lie, take a look at what you’re doing and if it is working. Stick to your plan and tweak it as need be. Follow and Rate this episode. As always Be Legendary ⚡️

What is Your Formula for Success

What is Your Formula for Success

“Success leaves clues.” There is no such statement that is more real than that. Success (as does failure) leaves clues, the real question is can we see those clues? Do we know what clues are being left? If not we are bound to repeat mistakes & not reach our full potential. This episode we discuss the mindset of success and reading the winning formula. We use examples to identify successful individuals and those who steered away from what worked. I hope this episode helps you identify what has lead to your success or failure. Be Legendary ⚡️

To Be or Not To Be That is The Question

To Be or Not To Be That is The Question

This episode we discuss a winning mindset and consistency. We mow over the cause and effect. So much of life as we see it today is hinged on perfection, ultra discipline, and money. Those things are great but we can only achieve those things by stacking many small detail’s together. To stack skills and details we must be consistent and tenacious. I hope this podcast helps you in your journey to success, as always Be Legendary ⚡️

“Pressure is a privilege”

“Pressure is a privilege”

This episode we dissect the quote “pressure is a privilege.” I initially read this quote from Tim Grover in one of his books, it shifted my thought process to a higher “vibration.” I think we take for granted the pressure we are presented by being in certain positions whether that be in our life, career, or sports. This episode is to challenge you to rethink the term pressure and welcome the opportunities that it brings. Like, share, follow, & Be Legendary.

Camps v. Training.

Camps v. Training.

Camps versus training which one should I do? In athletics this is often a confusing question, with marketing, talking heads, and benefits springing up everywhere it can become very confusing. This episode I highlight 3 questions to ask in order to best answer which direction you should go? Financially what can you afford? How can you get more exposure? What is your ultimate goal/outcome?

Why You Don’t Improve from Season to Season (Part 1)

Why You Don’t Improve from Season to Season (Part 1)

This episode we focus in on athletic improvement from offseason to offseason. In todays athletic climate countless athletes don’t necessarily have a “offseason” so the window to improve is smaller than it has ever been. Athletes use the offseason to heal from injury, address weaknesses etc. but if you consistently approach it incorrectly you are doing yourself more harm than good. In this episode we discuss the things that hurt progress in the off-season. Follow the podcast for part 2 when we discuss how to approach the offseason to become a better athlete.

Stop Seeking Support!

Stop Seeking Support!

This is episode 94! Let’s talk about support. Many people discuss and share post about lack of support and why they are not where they want to be due to lack of support. The reason we search for that support is purely laced to validation. Being a entrepreneur is scary, doing anything bigger than ourself is scary. I have been there and I want this episode to help someone who is in that position that I was in. When we search for others to jump on our wagon before we take off we limit our reach to the world. You will be surprised at who loves what you do when you freely put your best work out into the world with no expectation. I hope that this episode helps at least one person. Be Legendary.

IT’S Dolph 🐬: is there a cost to success in black culture?

In reflecting on recent tragic events of Father, Husband, Son & rapper Young Dolph me and Dr. Davis take a glimpse into the events that took place. How do these events shape us as black males in our community, is there a cost to extreme success as a black man, is there justified reasoning in fearing for your life after reaching heights within your success and helping your community?

No sponsors no interruptions just pure substance. Many events took place this week causing me to take time and dive into a topic I’ve thought about for some time. Success.

Work Through Your Limiting Mobility Not Around It

Work Through Your Limiting Mobility Not Around It

Many fitness podcasters and gurus suggest that partial range of motion (ROM) is better than full range for muscle development, the question I would pose is why would you want a muscle to be partially strong and not strong throughout an entire movement. This episode I attempt to lay out (at surface level) this question and offer a few answers as well as solutions. I believe in total body health and full ROM. Remember we are playing for the long game here and not short results that lead to injury. Be Legendary.

Do You Have A Little “Want To?”

Do You Have A Little “Want To?”

In life we get out what we put in. For some of us the difference in being greatly successful and below average is our willingness to strive for more. In the process of more we must learn to fight, battle, & and claw our way to whatever said goal we have for ourself. In the south amongst some of the elders there’s a saying/question when the rubber meets the road, it’s not about if you can or cannot but do you have the “want to” to get it done. Be Legendary
