Timestamped Show Notes:

05:45– One of the biggest hurdles I had to get over was the sound of my own voice. So I recorded myself giving presentations while driving my truck, in front of a mirror, etc. I did 52 weeks of recording driving to work and I made sure I did it every week, for a year straight. Not for content creation and not for anybody else. Yes, there was good content there and I would make sure I posted on YouTube, even before I went into the office.

12:30 – As a coach, in both the mindset life coaching part of my business and the fitness part of my business, it doesn’t matter what side of the spectrum you’re on, you got to listen to your client first. 

43:30 – I work only with the lifestyle mindset coaching side of things, I don’t coach them in fitness. I coach them on their lives. We work through the victim mentality and impostor syndrome. Soft talking through the past experiences and the story work. These things take up space in us. We don’t realize they’re taking up space in us which means we can’t bring in new positive experiences. Because this something that is still holding on to us from the past, that we haven’t learned to express or let go of or deal with. It’s blocking us from moving forward. This happened to me, the reason I am more successful now than I was four years ago, is because four years ago, I had a block. I knew I had a block. 

50:00 – I am often focused on the mindset coaching and lifestyle coaching which are my passions that I do outside of the gym. You have to be ready for those conversations. I had a local business that hired me and it was a six week program where I brought them through how to structure, how to plan, and they didn’t respond well to the one the week with what I had designed. They all bottled up got really closed off. It was a big time tough room. I felt it and you could feel that in the owner too. So I pivoted and I flipped the script.

01:17:30 – Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

That’s probably why I came out so happy today. It’s one of the things why I shut my mind off for an hour. I focused on whether I was not flat footed or was on my toes or rotating enough. Or like how I was striking or if I was connected to every movement I did. I was listening and learning and taking criticism. It was awesome.

That’s pretty cool and more people need to experience that. That feeling to just be centered and focused that hard on anything could be lifechanging, and it doesn’t have to be a athletic endeavor. It could be art, it could be music, or it could be the freeing experience like podcasting.

00:30: Introduction

10:00: Coach Matt Beckwith, I come off a 20-year career coaching swimming at the collegiate and club level for United States Swimming. I got to work with a lot of really great kids, athletes, and other coaches. I still stay in the community a little bit but more on the strength and conditioning side.

20:00: Coach Rob Eschbach, If we don’t meet those athletes where they are, then it will be difficult for them. You can’t walk into a competitive performance environment with goals of carrying laundry up steps. Now those goals just don’t lie. So we’re trying to align the client’s goal with their programming.

30:00: I say to this day, I’ve never slept so well in my life as I when I slept in Arizona, and it was not a nice hotel. It was just your brain was shot, I was so fried. I think we were in mid-conversation during a basketball game, I woke up the next day, I have no idea what happened. I know I fell asleep and I woke up. I just passed out just because my brain was so fried and full of knowledge from the last three days of coursework.

40:00: I worked officiating and governing body type activities within the Mid-Atlantic Swimming and USA Swimming, as far as the structure of the organization goes. When I heard about the USAFF, USA Functional Fitness, it was something that I thought was cool. Their goals are in place to see Functional Fitness as an Olympic sport in 2028.

50:00: If we’re talking about functional fitness, we’re talking about programming and methodology that is more natural. This is important when looking at what’s next after your competitive career is over. We have talked about having a finite number of competitions left in my game. I know Matt the same thing. But this doesn’t mean you stop, functional fitness is functional. It is health and wellness. That’s the overarching goal of what we do. These kids want to know, they’re gonna bust their butts and compete at the national level or international level for however long the duration of their career is. But this should be something when they’re done competing that they can continue.

01:01:50: Final Words

Our Final Words of the Show:

Coach Matt Beckwith: I love working with people and seeing them grow. So that’s why I’m here.

Coach Rob Eschbach:

I’ve always liked helping people. Not everybody has someone to help them through life, has a mentor, leader, coach, or a trainer to help guide them. So someone needs it. I want to be here for them. It doesn’t matter where they are or where they need it.
