Episode 44: Aaron Rhodes {What Do You Love Showing Up And Doing Every Day?}

This week I have the pleasure of bringing Aaron Rhodes onto the podcast.  Aaron is the Strength & Conditioning Coach for the MLB's St Louis Cardinals.

The title of this episode comes out almost immediately in the interview. The reason I chose it is because this is some great advice Aaron gives for anyone out there to take away.  If you are focusing on pursuing a career in sport of any kind and are told something along the lines of "It's not realistic" or "go find a real job"... Aaron's advice is to focus on doing what you love.  If you love playing your sport and are willing to put the work and the time into pursuing it for as long as possible, don't focus on anything else.

We also talk about where young athletes can start separating themselves from their competition.  Aaron's advice is simple, yet extremely effective.  Open up your notebook and start writing down what you think you can do to be better. What can you do outside of your sport to better prepare yourself?

One big takeaway is Aaron's take on in-season training.  It does not need to be hard.  It is just about working through the next issue.  Where are you struggling in your game? Your training should be built around where you need to improve in the game.  There are so many missed opportunities with kids quitting training in season.
