ATHLETE'S PURSUIT

In this episode, I sit down with yoga coach and exercise physiologist Shelby Hicks to explore the power of stillness, breath, and reconnection. We talk about what it really means to slow down, how the body stores stress, and why true strength isn’t just about movement—it’s about presence. Whether you’re an athlete, a coach, or just feeling burnt out, this one’s a reminder to come back to yourself.

In this powerful conversation, Joe sits down with performance coach and former D1 athlete Kristina Centenari to challenge the way we talk about mental health. Together, they unpack the pressures of high achievement, the identity crises that follow burnout, and how real strength begins when we stop performing and start listening. This episode redefines mental health as a process of inner training — a path of stillness, self-awareness, and emotional regulation that parallels physical mastery. Whether you're an athlete, a high performer, or simply trying to hold it all together, this is your invitation to come back to center.

In this episode, I open up about my personal journey with nutrition — from struggling with control to finding real balance. I share how I’ve learned to eat with intention when pursuing results, and how to pull back when it’s time to enjoy life and focus on health. This isn’t about strict macros or rigid rules — it’s about developing an empowering relationship with food that supports your goals and your well-being.

In this episode, Joe Rodonis sits down with Austin Current — elite coach, author, and educator — to break down what true mastery in training and life really demands. From the mindset it takes to pursue real, lasting growth, to the evolution of strength training beyond the surface level, Joe and Austin dive deep into the work that separates those who chase quick wins from those building something that lasts. This is a conversation about discipline, self-awareness, and the relentless pursuit of excellence — on the gym floor and far beyond it. If you’re serious about your training, coaching, or personal development, this one is non-negotiable.
