Stop & Give Me 20- Episode 049- Jim Kielbaso- Changing the Way Kids Get Trained and Coached

“I love this advice from a TED Talk: When the kids get in a car after the game, just say to them, “I really love watching you play”, instead of concentrating on post game analysis.”  Jim Kielbaso

The Stop and Give Me 20 Podcast features 20 minute interviews with some of the World’s Top Fitness Professionals.  Each show will start with their story of what led them into a fitness lifestyle; the spark that fueled their passion to help change lives through their fitness.

It moves into the “Superhero Section”, where the conversation moves into 1) Who their biggest influences were growing up and who their real life Superhero was,  2) Who their Superhero is now- who in the world they look up to and who they are trying to emulate, and 3) Who they want to be Superheros to with their message.

We might discuss their opinions on what is happening in the fitness industry, good and bad, and where they might think it’s going.  Sometimes we find out some of the books they are reading and seminars they are attending and what their takeaways are.

At some point in the show we always do the “Stop & Give Me 5” segment, and that’s basically 5 rapid fire questions (not always rapid fire answers).  It’s a fun segment that we make personal to them to try to get an inside look about some of the things that they are interested in.

We finish each show with a “Letter to Your Younger Self”, where guests are asked to give their younger self advice.
