Things to Read to Help Slay Your Day – Canada Day Edition: 7/1/2018

Happy Canada Day! It’s year 151 for Canada, and I’m fortunate enough to have been around for the last 25 years. Fun fact: The last Canadian hockey team to win the Stanley Cup was 25 years ago, and it was the Montreal Canadiens. Pretty crazy to think it’s been that long since a Canadian team has won the Stanley Cup.

Anyways, onto this week’s Canada Day edition of “Things to Read to Help Slay Your Day,” we will start with the Canadian, Dr. Stuart McGill, who is one of the most highly regarded individual’s in the lower back pain, strength & conditioning and rehab realm. 

The Chief Life Podcast with Dr. Stuart McGill – Anything with Dr. Stuart McGill’s name next to it has just about become a must read/hear for me. In this podcast, I enjoyed listening to Dr. McGill’s thoughts about warm-ups being too extensive and too long in many training programs across the United States. A warm-up needs to address the biomechanical demands, the physiological demands, and the neurological/psychological demands of the individual/athlete. Many individuals/athletes perform “useless” warm-up exercises that may actually rob them of their performance when training or competing. A very important point that I think everyone should hear about in this podcast. 

Athlete CEO Podcast with Eric Cressey – Eric Cressey is an absolute beast. He reminds me a lot of Gary Vaynerchuck, in the sense that they both an have incredible work ethic and have created massively successful businesses. The one thing that I loved hearing about from Eric in this podcast was his desire to dig as deep as possible for the root of the problem (e.g., shoulder pain) and work on developing a solution to the problem (e.g., exercise program). Also, Eric’s part on mentioning looking at MRI reports goes to show how far he will try to go to help his athletes and clients. This man wants to be the best and I’d argue he may already be the best. 

How to Get Started with Online Coaching – Mike Robertson put together a great little article for any coaches or trainers interested in getting involved in the online training space. I’ve personally been doing online coaching for almost 2 years now, but never took it seriously until recently. Over the past 3 months, I’ve focused on developing systems (something I lacked before) for when a client signs-up for my online coaching service all the way to accessing their exercise program, and it’s worked wonders. This article outlines an extensive list of things you will have to think about before starting online coaching.
