Welcome to the exponential athlete podcast. I'm on a quest to compile the most in-depth study on greatness in sports ever created.

I do deep dives case studies into the greatest athletes of all time. I also complement these with interviews from scientists, coaches, trainers, support staff, and athletes.

What are the keys for Jim Furyk's pre-shot routine?

In this interview, we went deep on Jim's cues and his practice approach for getting the most out of low reps.

The pre-shot routine is one of the most overlooked aspects of performance by amateurs.

Sometimes we need to make big changes to get to the next level. @shanebattier had to change his shooting form in college to make an impact in the NBA.

We also have to be receptive to feedback that we get. This can often be the hardest part. What do you know you should change but are putting off?

Surprise! I wrote a book!

I’ve been MIA lately because I have been working on the visualization handbook for elite athletes. It is a comprehensive, science based, guide on how to use visualization to improve your athletic outcomes.

You can find it now on Amazon!

Who is George Mumford? He is the mindfulness coach behind 8 NBA Championships. He was Phil Jackson's right hand guy and worked with both Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan.

Kobe had some of the strangest trash talk of all time. He would talk to opponents and teammates in Spanish and Italian. He would call opponents the night before to psych them out.

He had some extremely unusual ways of getting an edge

Colleges like USC and UCLA moving to the Big 10 will have disastrous consequences for the student athletes.

I spoke to @docjockzzz to learn more about what this frequent travel and time zone changes will do to the student's wellbeing.

When you practice can have almost as big an impact as what you practice.

On my podcast episode with @docjockzzz she describes how athletes are increasingly shifting their practice times to be closer to when they often play games.

This helps to get their circadian rhythms aligned with when they need to peak physically.

Why are athletes in some sports more likely to rely on alcohol or drugs after games?

The reason is actually pretty logical. They are trying to wind down. While these things can help them go to sleep, they actively hurt their rest and recovery.

In the full episode of the exponential athlete with @docjockzzz she comprehensively explains the alternatives.
