Episode 8 - Behind The Whistle: A Journey From The Front Lines to The OHL 1:01:29

7 дней назад1:01:29

1:01:29

Ever wonder what it really takes to go from the Canadian Armed Forces to becoming an OHL referee? This week, I sit down with my friend Mat to talk about his journey from Military Police officer to calling the shots on the ice in one of Canada’s top hockey leagues. We dig into the nitty-gritty of joining the military, the behind-the-scenes process of getting on as an OHL ref, and all the lessons he’s picked up along the way. Mat’s learned to “get really good at the basics” whenever life feels overwhelming, and he’s big on reframing setbacks by asking, “What can I learn?” instead of “What could go wrong?” It’s a mindset that’s fueled him through those “peaks and valleys” we all face. If you’re looking for inspiration, a new perspective on tackling obstacles, or just a good story about chasing your goals—even when they don’t look like anyone else’s—this episode is for you. Set aside some time for this hour-long conversation and find out how Mat keeps pushing forward, no matter what comes his way. Thanks for tuning in to the podcast!

From Patrol to Podiums: Duty, Discipline, and Distance with Jonathan Bouchard In this episode, I'm hanging out with Jonathan Bouchard, a committed father of four, full-time police officer, and downright relentless endurance athlete who's tackled everything from Spartan OCR events to full marathons. Jonathan opens up about juggling shift work with a pretty intense training schedule that helped him complete 14 Spartan Races in 2024 (grabbing a podium finish 8 times!) and nail a Boston Marathon qualifying time with a second-place finish at the Georgina Spring Fling Marathon. We also dive into the nuts and bolts of his training: why he believes consistency, volume, and specificity make all the difference, and how that mindset keeps him showing up day after day. Key Takeaways: The importance of consistent, specific, and high-volume training. Balancing family life, a demanding career, and athletic ambitions. How enduring the toughest race-day challenges can fuel personal growth. Why podium finishers and everyday athletes share the same pain - it's all about who can push through. Whether you're chasing your own racing goals, balancing a busy family life, or just need a little extra motivation, Jonathan's story will push you to reimagine what's possible on - and off - the racecourse.

Episode 3: Balancing Life, Fitness, and Love with Good Communication In this special episode, I’m joined by my wife and cohost, Marisa, for an honest conversation on what it really takes to cultivate strong, lifelong communication—whether we’re connecting as spouses, training partners, or in a coach-athlete relationship. Drawing on personal anecdotes and lessons learned, we explore the challenges and rewards of wearing multiple hats in our everyday life. We dive into the strategies we’ve developed for staying on the same page: from setting clear boundaries and checking in regularly, to supporting each other through setbacks and celebrating wins. You’ll hear what we had to learn about ourselves, and about each other in order to ensure we were actually communicating the right way. We also talk about the importance of “maintenance”—the conscious, ongoing effort needed to ensure both our relationship and our shared goals continue to thrive over the long haul. No matter your current season of life, this conversation offers some practical tips on how to foster meaningful dialogue, nurture each other’s growth, and keep the spark alive in any partnership + some unsolicited advice from me (Coach Chris). If you’re looking to strengthen your bond—whether in the gym, on the field, or at home—then tune in and discover how focusing on healthy communication can be the catalyst for achieving balance in life, fitness, and love.
