Your last pad cost was amazing!! Thank you so much for the work you put into it. It'll help my life out so well. Thank you 🙏🏼
Trev, Alex. Great to hear you back for second season, would like to have more but understand the work schedule. old sticker here in UK looking shabby. Keep passing your details about the rugby union coaches here in the UK also... maybe a few to hand out in development stuff??
Ep9. Some peeps metabolize stank water (coffee) faster than otherseseses.
love this pod, been recommending it to all my friends. I'm doing my masters in sport psychology right now and this is so helpful and interesting !!
Ep3. PRACTICE? WE TALKING ‘BOUT PRACTICE? Mega dope episode. And so easy to apply to my so-called life.
Hey guys! I've really been enjoying your podcasts. I highly recommend seeing about adding some music in the background. I've been having lo-fi hip hop beats playing on YouTube. and I think it plays off your theme/voices real well and makes it addicting to listen to.
Great job!! Really enjoying this podcast.
Nice move Trev, support from the UK.👍🏻
