In this episode, I sit down with the legendary Coach Mike Boyle—one of the most respected voices in strength & conditioning—to talk about the transition from sport to lifelong fitness.

Whether you're a former athlete trying to find your rhythm again, or a coach guiding others through that shift, this conversation is packed with timeless wisdom and hopeful perspective.

We dive deep into:
✅ Why training still matters when sport ends
✅ The identity crisis many former athletes face
✅ Common pitfalls ex-athletes fall into
✅ How to train smarter, not just harder, in your 30s, 40s, and beyond
✅ The biggest changes Mike has seen in the fitness industry
✅ What he's hopeful for in the future of coaching and training
✅ Simple, sustainable practices to stay athletic for life

Coach Boyle also shares powerful stories from his 40+ years coaching athletes at every level—and what he's learned about movement, mindset, and meaning long after the final whistle.
