What if fitness was about more than just aesthetics?
What if we viewed sport not just as a game, but as a transformative power in society, and training as a tool for resilience and durability?
These are just a few of the themes and questions Kelly Starrett unpacks in this podcast.
In case you’re not familiar with Kelly, he’s a Doctor of Physical Therapy, renowned speaker, and a New York Times bestselling author, whose book Becoming a Supple Leopard made him into the biggest mobility guru in the world.
In our conversation, Kelly and I delve into . . .
-The essential role of training for more than just aesthetics and how personal experiences led him to emphasize resilience and durability
-The transformative power of sport in society and the dangers of early sports specialization in young athletes
-The often undervalued psychoemotional components of coaching and the surprising sleep disruption side-effects of COVID-19
-Debunking the sleep deprivation myth in successful people and advocating for a shift towards whole foods for improved performance and health
-The vital importance of communal eating in fostering unity and its profound influence on team culture
-The practicality and scalability of fitness practices, with a focus on creating daily routines that improve overall well-being
-The alarming decline in outdoor activities among children and the potential health hazards of this trend
