The SSS crew is back! Rob, Blake, and Jake welcome back coach Nate to finish up some unfinished business. First, the crew begins by wishing Blake a short-term farewell to teach those Brits some real American football! Then they dig into more coaching tactics in working with young athletes to try and get the most out of them, and help them understand the process of long-term athletic development. How do you create a “legacy” program where winning isn’t just talked about, but becomes expected by everyone in the program? How do we get there, what is the process, what is the mindset, how is it achieved? What can we do as coaches to create a mindset where the young athlete is always looking for the next challenge, how does it come from within? Listen in as the coaches tackle these questions and more in this episode. Enjoy!

Rob, Blake, and Jake are back to talk shop, everything fitness. Today begins with talk of a crazy challenge Jake thought up. Rob's first thought was that it was just dumb, because let’s face it, there are some dumb workouts out there. Anyway, this workout kicked Jake’s butt, in fact, he quit not even a quarter of the way through. So they talk about how to beat dumb workouts. Then the chat evolves into Blake’s new adventure. It consists of basically bringing American football to Europe on a developmental level and is something very new: A hungry group of young European athletes who want to play American football, brought to them by the guys who have played and can give these young men an opportunity to progress to the American college market. We will keep you posted on this awesome startup. The guys wrap this one up with a little Q & A, a little fitness, and nutrition to close it down. Take a listen! We hope you enjoy!

Or will he run a booze cruise in Nevada? (Northern Nevada that is.) And what’s up with all of the man-hating in songs? Are we really that bad? We try to answer all of these questions plus many many more! Let’s roll!
