Today I'm joined by a stellar individual, Martin Rooney. Now, Martin's got a rich, deep reservoir of experience here and like me, he's on a mission to make better coaches and we both know that we're not perfect. Martin is a former US bobsledder, he's a former Division I track athlete and he's the creator of a training system called Training For Warriors. Martin has consulted with a lot of different companies, ranging from Fortune 500 to other companies like Nike and Prudential.

He's a guy that is on this show because like the rest of us, he is a regular Joe that is trying to improve.

That's what we could use your help with and we think you're going to love today's episode. Martin always brings it, he's a fired up guy. His book, Coach To Coach, comes out March 10th. Give us your feedback. We want to hear from you. Enjoy this episode!

Nick was in a different role at the time of this recording and he is now the head of strength and conditioning for the New Castle United football Club.

Two years later, he became one of the first strength and conditioning coaches to work for the English Institute of Sport, leading its West Midlands team across three sites.

Leaving the English Institute of Sport in 2007, Nick established himself as a Performance Enhancement Specialist working with the Chinese National Football team, the RFU, Great Britain’s Men’s and Women’s Basketball teams, Championship and Premiership football teams.

Ryan Michler is a husband, father, Iraqi Combat Veteran, and the Founder of Order of Man. Ryan grew up without a permanent father figure and has seen first-hand how a lack of strong, ambitious, self-sufficient men has impacted society today. He believes many of the world's most complicated problems could be solved if men everywhere learned how to be better husbands, fathers, businessmen, and community leaders.

It has now become his life's mission to help men across the planet step more fully into their roles as protectors, providers, and presiders over themselves, their families, their businesses, and their communities. You can find him blogging and podcasting at Order of Man where he is working to help men become all they were meant to be.

Topics discussed with Ryan today:

The simplicity of our own problems and the challenges of navigating around our daily temptations
Owning who you are and the alternative of not living your life to the best of your ability
The dangers of comparison within your professional & personal life
What happens when people are voluntarily deciding to be led by you
The exceptions of giving yourself some leeway on your expectations and how to avoid burnout
Fatherhood and the context of rendering yourself obsolete as a parent

Today is the day, my online course Valued is now live! We're offering a $100 discount for the next few days. So make sure you take advantage of this.

Now, what is Valued? You've heard me talk about this again and again, this is the first guide for strength and conditioning professionals, personal trainers, you can lump yourself in there too, and physical therapists that guide you through the sticking points in your career, whether that's about finances, whether that's how to get certain jobs, whether how to manage burnout, whether that's running a business. Even those of you that have written in and said, “Hey, you know, I feel like I invested tons of time in the technical knowledge and expertise, but I'm just not valued.”

That's why the name of the course is Valued. We're addressing how you can overcome those things. We're trying to teach you how you can show or explain or demonstrate true value to your employer, either current or eventual, and most importantly, how you can get over the anxiety of asking for what you're worth.
