Coach Harvey is an exceptional college Basketball coach. I have had the honor of watching him build a tremendous program at Laser College (Now University) to his days of building a very strong and consistent program at Salem State University. Coach talks about everything from recruiting and  philosophy to mental health the interview process. Tremendous listen from a tremendous coach.

Here we talk to Coach Civetti Head Football Coach at Tufts University. Coach has lead his team to 4 successful winning seasons for the first time in since 1988. Coach has built a program of consistency over the past 5 years and he has really found a recipe to have his players balance both in the classroom and on the field. It was a blast talking to coach about his time at BC and NC State under legendary Coach Tom O'Brien.

Matt Ibrahim is one of the best not only strength coaches in the area,but is a top notch public speaker who travels all over the country to educate and inform people about strength training and the science that goes into training the body. Matt has been a mentor to a lot of people and is truly one of the hardest working people around. Matt explores everything from his start into strength and conditioning.

Coach Mark Champagne is one of the most well rounded Basketball coaches in the State of Massachusetts. Coach coached at the college level as an assistant coach and eventually a head Coach At Bridgewater State University. Then coach took over programs such as Ashland, King Philip, and now at Holliston. He has evolved as a coach and has changed with the game. He is someone I would want my kids to play for and I look forward to following his current rebuild in Holliston High School.

Coach Bob Almeida is one of the top high school football coaches in the state of Massachusetts. He has taken programs that have had years of tough seasons and came in and made an immediate impact wherever he has gone! I appreciate the time that coach took out of his schedule and appreciate the work he has put in for the past 35 years of his life. Appreciate the time coach!

We are honored to have had Ryan Cadres assistant football coach currently at Scituate High School and has Cerebral Palsy. Ryan talks here about how everyone is different, but it is what you do that defines who you are, not what you have been dealt. "I want my kids and people to realize everyone's different. People with disabilities want to be included. And that's how it started, I wasn't able to play a game but I found a way to stay involved and be included." Ryan is a true motivation to us all and it was a real honor to have him on this show to speak his story and spread awareness for Cerebral Palsy.

I want to thank Jamey Conley, The Director of the Performance Training at the Sugar Bowl Ski Academy for taking the time out of his busy schedule to join the Podcast. Jamey is in charge of training, assessing and evaluating some of the best young skiers in the country to hopefully one day be able to represent the United States in the Olympics. On top of it all, I had the privilege of coaching Jamey as a high school football player and I am not surprised at all the success Jamey has had in life. Tremendous listen!

We want to thank Coach Forbes for taking time out of her busy schedule to come on the Podcast and really tell her story and the influence that she not only has on her players, but also the influence that she has had in the game of Women's hockey especially being a trailblazer for today's professional Women Hockey Players. We are honored to have had such a tremendous guest!
