In this episode, we talk with Bobby Aldridge about his chapter Seagulls & Waves. We dive into how coaching embodies the depth and vastness of the ocean. Like the ocean, coaching is about constant change, you must adapt and keep your mind open.
We also drive the conversation home by discussing his golf program, which helps you align and mobilize all the joints properly. Bobby helps you with exercises that correct your form so that you are not compensating. Sometimes you have to slow down and work on the smaller pieces to get the bigger gains.

In episode 8, we explore the writing process, specifically how to approach a chapter versus a book, and how to ensure a collaborative book flows smoothly. Matthew describes the process as similar to jumping off a cliff. You jump and hope things fall into place. Find your direction, have your parachute ready, and then jump! It’s okay if you don’t have it all figured out when you start. Sometimes you just have to go!
We also delve into the realm of mindset vs athletic coach. Both are invaluable in an athletic journey. It’s an exciting time in the sports world as they are studying how much your mindset matters in sports. Matthew is a mindset coach who helps you break the cycles of negative thoughts and transform them into visualizations of yourself doing well.

In this episode, Joy McCulloch shares about her chapter titled "Hammer–Nail–Hammer: Realizing Greatness Through Failure". We discuss how sometimes, as hard as you try, there will be times when fate is not in your favor. How you dust yourself off and get back in it will set you up for success.
The coaching story that Joy shares highlights the highs and lows of any athlete. The duality of being a champion, and in the next breath, a ‘loser’. It’s so important to have a coach who can speak truth to you in all moments.
