  046 - Nsuani Baffoe - Are We Ruining Youth Sports?

  Jul 22, 20261h 51mS5

  Episode Description This week, Canada announced nearly $1 billion in new investment into sport. But before we spend more money, we need to ask a bigger question: Are we actually developing athletes the right way? In this episode, I sit down with Nsuani Baffoe , coach and owner of Ferris 360, to challenge some of the biggest assumptions surrounding youth sport and athletic development. We discuss why some of the world’s most successful sporting nations encourage kids to play multiple sports, the risks of early specialization, what long-term athletic development really looks like, and how parents and coaches can better support young athletes—not just in becoming better competitors, but healthier, more resilient people. Whether you’re a parent, coach, athlete, or simply passionate about sport, this conversation will challenge the way you think about developing human performance. In This Episode Canada’s new investment in sport and what it means The case against early specialization Why multi-sport athletes often outperform specialists Lessons from Norway’s youth sport model Long-term athlete development The role parents play in creating lifelong athletes Building resilient, adaptable performers Podcast Sponsors WHOOP WHOOP has become one of my most valuable tools for understanding recovery, sleep, strain, and readiness.

  045 - Matt Wallden: Why You’re Not Broken, You’re Overloaded

  Jun 19, 20262h 2mS5

  Matt Wallden: Why You’re Not Broken, You’re Overloaded In this episode of The Three Phase Podcast, Joe LaLeune sits down with Matt Wallden, one of the most respected educators and practitioners in osteopathy, rehabilitation, performance, and holistic health. Matt has spent more than 25 years helping athletes, coaches, therapists, and everyday people understand the deeper causes of pain, injury, and performance limitations. As a long-time CHEK Faculty member, clinician, educator, and consultant, his work challenges many of the assumptions commonly made in rehabilitation and performance training. Together, Joe and Matt explore why many injuries are not actually caused by the tissue that hurts, why recurring hamstring injuries continue to plague athletes despite modern rehabilitation approaches, how physiological load impacts performance and recovery, and why assessment remains the foundation of effective coaching and treatment. Whether you’re a coach, therapist, athlete, or simply someone interested in understanding the body at a deeper level, this conversation will challenge the way you think about health, performance, pain, and recovery. In This Episode Why “If you’re not assessing, you’re guessing” is more relevant than ever The Totem Pole Model and identifying the true driver of dysfunction Why hamstring injuries are often misunderstood The relationship between pain, injury, and tissue damage Why imaging findings don’t always correlate with symptoms Physiological load and the hidden stressors affecting recovery Lifestyle factors that influence injury risk and healing Lessons from elite sport and decades of clinical practice How to think more holistically about health and performance Connect With Matt Wallden Website: https://mattwallden.com Email: enquiries@mattwallden.com FC2O Podcast: Search “FC2O Podcast” on your favourite podcast platform.

  044 - AJ Zeglen - Performance Based Psychotherapy

  May 14, 20262h 21mS5

  This episode with AJ Zeglen went way deeper than strength and conditioning. AJ is the founder of Invictus Performance and has spent years working with hockey players and high-performing athletes. He’s now also working as a psychotherapist, and this conversation explored the overlap between physical performance, mental resilience, confidence, communication, and identity. We talked about why elite athletes struggle with confidence more than people think, why so many coaches misunderstand “mental toughness,” and how unresolved stress eventually shows up somewhere — physically, mentally, or emotionally. One of the biggest themes throughout the episode was the importance of relationships. AJ explained how research in psychotherapy shows that the strongest predictor of positive outcomes isn’t the technique or strategy being used — it’s the quality of the relationship itself. That led into a really interesting discussion about coaching, leadership, communication, and why body language and trust matter so much in high-performance environments. We also got into: Why Norway’s athlete development model is getting attention The danger of outcome-based identity How athletes get stuck in negative feedback loops Practical mental reset tools used by high performers Why resilience is built through progressive exposure to challenge How coaches can better support athletes beyond performance What stood out to me most was how many of these ideas apply outside of sport too. Leadership, pressure, confidence, emotional regulation, communication — this stuff shows up everywhere.

  043 - Angie Chek - Soul Loss, Healing, and What We’re Missing About Health

  Apr 1, 20261h 58mS5

  What does it actually mean to be a shaman in the modern world? In this episode of the Three Phase Podcast, I sit down with Angie Chek — certified nutritionist, biologist, and CHEK Institute faculty member — to explore a side of health and healing that most people feel… but don’t fully understand. We get into shamanism, soul loss, soul retrieval, past lives, and how unresolved experiences — whether from this life or beyond — can continue to influence your physical, mental, and emotional state. Angie breaks down how healing isn’t just about what you can measure. It’s about what’s happening underneath — in your energy, your environment, and your relationship with yourself. We also dive into: What soul loss actually looks like in real life How trauma, stress, and identity shape your health The role of environment and biogeometry in healing Why some people never fully recover — even when they’re doing everything “right” How your perception of death changes when you experience this work directly This is a deeper conversation — but an important one. Even if you don’t agree with everything, it will challenge how you think about health, performance, and what it means to actually heal.

  042 - Charlotte Sobolewski - The Human Edge in a Data-Driven World

  Mar 17, 20261h 57mS5

  We’re surrounded by more data than ever, but that doesn’t mean we’re making better decisions. In this episode, I sit down with Charlotte Sobolewski — a former high-level endurance athlete and now working in AI, governance, and strategy — to break down what actually drives performance when pressure, fatigue, and uncertainty are all in play. This conversation isn’t about tools. It’s about judgment. We get into what data can tell you, what it can’t, and why the ability to make decisions under pressure is still a human skill that can’t be outsourced. Charlotte shares how she approached preparation at an elite level, how that translates into her work in AI, and where people are starting to rely too heavily on systems instead of thinking for themselves. If you’re trying to perform at a high level — in sport, business, or life — this episode will challenge how you think about data, pressure, and responsibility.
