Athletes the mind body connection is real don't ignore it ! This week we dig into how pre-game scrolling hijacks motivation, dulls focus, and undercuts team connection. Using Neuroscientist TJ Power’s DOSE model as a guide, from his book The Dose Effect, we share practical swaps that protect brain chemistry so your mind matches your body on game day.

• why dopamine drives effort and focus
• how short-form feeds deplete motivation
• denorphin as a warning signal after over-scrolling
• oxytocin, trust, and face-to-face connection
• serotonin, sunlight, and steady confidence
• endorphins through movement and laughter
• a 30–60 minute pre-competition phone fast
• active replacements that rebuild chemistry
• intentional phone use as a tool, not a habit

The final whistle doesn’t have to mean game over. Former D1 soccer player Case Montanile joins us to unpack how injuries pushed him to step away from the game he loved and redirect that same competitive drive into commercial real estate. What emerges isn’t a sob story—it’s a playbook for turning athletic grit into career momentum, without losing your love for sport or yourself.

We walk through the real stuff athletes rarely say out loud: feeling your identity shrink when the schedule stops, the quiet grief of recurring injuries, and the slow realization that the cost of chasing your dreams might not be worth it to your body. Case explains how a lifelong habit of team-first thinking, paying dues, and staying coachable translated directly into the workplace. He shares why confidence is the most portable skill you own, how to rebuild structure when no one is setting practice times, and why new associates and college freshmen have more in common than you think.

You’ll also hear tangible strategies for stability during transition. Case breaks down his morning routine—early runs, a daily Murph, time in nature—and how those rituals act as active meditation that resets the nervous system before a day of prospecting, calls, and client meetings. We connect the performance triangle from sport to work: preparation, execution, and recovery, with simple ways to design a “nurture” outlet so you don’t burn out trying to replace the adrenaline of game day.

If you’re a current athlete, a recent grad, or anyone facing a forced pivot, this conversation offers a grounded, hopeful path forward. Expect clear takeaways on transferable skills, building a second identity before you need it, and using perspective to turn “unfair” into “opportunity.” Subscribe for more honest, practical stories from the world of human performance, and share this with a teammate who needs a nudge.

Ten seconds can hold a season’s worth of pressure. Nick, a senior 100, 200, and 4x100 sprinter, walks us through how he turns that pressure into speed by starting months early, lifting with purpose, and translating gym gains into cleaner mechanics on the track. We dig into the shift from “just showing up” to training with intention, and how simple choices—sleep, warmups, and daily core finishers—unlock relaxed form and faster top-end velocity.

Fuel becomes a competitive edge. Nick explains why he ditched energy drinks and constant sugar, timed his carbs, and treated hydration like equipment. The payoff shows up in recovery, muscle growth, and repeatable speed. He breaks down the art of the start: block patience, no chasing the gun, and a mental reset when false starts rattle the field. Music cues, breath, and focus on the finish line keep him present when it matters most.

Faith is his anchor. With 1 Corinthians 9:24 inked on his spikes, he races with gratitude and clarity, turning nerves into calm energy. We highlight the mentors who shaped him—from pros like Noah Lyles to a D1-bound teammate whose discipline raises the standard—and why track, despite its lanes, is a true team sport. Nick shares how to process the hard moments, from dropped batons to off days, without losing humor or heart, and how identity beyond sport protects performance across a long season.

If you’re a coach, parent, or athlete chasing a better sprint season, you’ll leave with practical tactics for nutrition, recovery, mechanics, and mindset—and a fresh view of leadership and faith on the track.
