Genetically Engineered Atheletes, Performance Rituals
007-Less Than A Minute To Go ( Catching, Visualization )
I have subscribed to this podcast for a long time and love it! The world needs more shows and messages like the ones Dr. Bill discusses here.
It reflects a quote I once heard:
'At the end of your life if the best comment that someone can make about it relates to being a great athlete instead of a great person… you wasted a precious gift.'
Keep going Dr. Bill!!
This is a great podcast. Dr. Bill does an amazing job. I know for me this podcast has given me a new outlook on the game and the way it should be played.
Phenomenal, well organized podcast with interesting and diverse segments. The interviews are great and the interviewer is not afraid to ask personal questions of faith, family and the place of sports within the bigger context of life. The training tips segments offer great insite into sports psychology and offers simple yet effect ways to take your players (or yourself) to the next level.
I downloaded every single segment and am listening to them in order. I feel like I am being mentored b... more
This is a great Podcast and Dr Bill is doing a wonderful job in a needed area of sports performance. I really liked the music, q and a and interview format. I've liked the current guest speakers too. I hope Dr Bill keeps it going. It's too important a mission not to be a success.
For those of you that are looking for a podcast that combines the physical, mental and spiritual aspect of sport this is the one. Each week there is a song, an interview and drills to practice. The interviews are short and to the point, yet cover a lot of material. I'm a runner and I would not go out on a long run without "Playing with Fire".
This podcast was launched on EWTN's "Life on the Rock" program last week. This first episode is outstanding and should only get better over time. It moves quickly and has good flow. The interview with Kyle Brady (TE Jacksonville Jaguars), music with Justin Shaw, practical tips on actually improving physical and mental performance, as well as how virtue is tied to everything, was great. In the future, I would like to hear some on-site segments at games and practices.
I've really enjoyed this podcast, and I thought the second episode was even better than the first one. The show flows well; it's divided between interviews, music, stories, etc., which makes it easy to listen to. Dr. Bill gives some great advice on performance that can apply to any sport. I've found myself following some of the advice, and I actually have noticed improvement in my game. The sports stories Dr. Bill tells are entertaining and inspiring.

Dr. Bill is both knowledgable and entertaining. This subject matter is so relevant given the poor state of athletics today. The show was lively and interesting with a really good mix of info and entertainment. I am certain this show will grow and build a strong fan base. Thanks for the great work and effort. I can't wait to hear the next one!
I didn't know what to expect form the show. It bills itself as a sports and virtue show and that's exactly what it was. Dr. Bill is a good host and the show's content was surprisingly good. There were good stories, music, an interview and some solid tips and tricks all directed at the elite athlete. I look forward to hearing more.
