🎙️ New Podcast Episode Alert!

This week, I sit down with Wil Fleming of 1Kilo Weightlifting to dive deep into the mental side of the sport. 🏋️‍♂️💭 We explore how sports psychology, identity, and resilience shape performance, and why coaching isn’t just about physical technique—it’s about the mind too.

Wil shares his journey from athlete to coach, the power of pre-performance routines, self-talk, and the importance of a well-rounded coaching toolbox. We also tackle the challenges coaches face, the mistakes that teach us the most, and why flexibility and athlete empowerment are key.

His upcoming book, Strong Mind, is packed with resources for athletes and coaches ready to level up both physically and mentally.

Key takeaways:
💡 Mental skills are as crucial as physical training.
💡 Identity and mindset drive performance.
💡 Resilience and self-talk can make or break a competition.
💡 Flexibility and learning from mistakes are essential for coaches. by @theweightofcoaching

🎙️ Max Aita dropped a gem in our latest episode: before you chase the shiny stuff—marketing strategies, tech tools, or fancy systems—make sure you’re doing your best work with what you’re capable of right now.

Too many coaches and athletes look for the shortcut, but the foundation is always execution and consistency. If the core work isn’t solid, the rest won’t matter.

💡 Nail your craft first. Build the habits. Then add the extras.

Sometimes athletes don’t need solutions, they just need support. 💡 Kyle Fields reminds us that coaching isn’t always about big adjustments—it’s about being present and letting athletes figure things out with confidence.

Think Modern Family when Phil says he doesn’t need Claire to fix it, he just needs her to listen. Coaching can be the same—less about “fixing,” more about creating space for growth.

💡 Tech is getting cheaper — having objective data is priceless.
In this clip, Rob Ronan talks about coaches can’t afford to be stuck in the “this is how we’ve always done it” mindset. With the cost of tools like velocity trackers and force plates coming down, the barrier to entry isn’t money — it’s openness to new ways of coaching.

Adapt, evolve, and use every tool available to make your athletes better. 📈
