83. Dustin Willis: Rethinking Arrival...What the Dream Doesn't Tell You
1w ago00:47:37Tap to summarizeHey friends! On this episode, I welcome back my friend and mentor Dustin Willis. We have a candid conversation about Dustin's time in the NBA and the peaks and valleys that came with it. He shares his own story of how quickly he went from living out his dream to being an outside observer of it. It is the business of sports, unfortunately. This is one aspect of elite sports medicine that doesn't get talked about enough and I'm so proud to share this conversation with you guys.

Mar 700:45:25Tap to summarizeIn this episode, I sit down with Physical Therapist and weightlifting coach Neville Chu, founder of Legacy Performance and Rehab.

77. Zak Gabor & Shelly Belk: Stuck and Burnt Out
Jan 1800:49:45Tap to summarizeHey friends! In this episode, I sit down with Clinical Athlete's very own Zak Gabor and his personal behavior coach Shelly Belk. We go deep into the topic of burnout in high-achieving clinicians and how chronic stress and over-identifying with our professional roles can quietly keep us from taking healthy action. We talk about why so many of us tie our self-worth to productivity, struggle to set boundaries, and wait until we hit a breaking point to ask for help. Zak shares how working with Shelly has improved his mental health and how he shows up in his business and relationships. This conversation is a reminder to separate who you are from what you produce. If you feel stuck this episode is for you! Clinical Athlete FB Community Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/17xZrXzvcq/
