One of the pages caught my attention because I noticed there was some coverage of the local basketball scene here in Idaho. I was mind blown that this page, (EBC Basketball) on Instagram, was covering SIC (Southern Idaho Conference) Basketball at a deeper level than any news outlet locally. And it was being ran by Coach AJ Niebergall. Today, we get to know Coach AJ. We'll discuss his sports background, where he played college ball at, what his style of play is, the origin of EBC Basketball, predictions for this season in the SIC for basketball, and much more! It's such an awesome conversation and it's one you do NOT want to miss! Share this with your friends and family so you can get to know more about AJ and SIC Basketball.

Our college years are filled with stress enough as it is. You have homework, deadlines, exams, etc. If you are an athlete, you have even more stress to go along with it as you have to add your training hours and GPA requirements to the mix. Now, imagine you were living with a "secret" that you hadn't told anyone. A secret about who you "truly were." Emma Gee, a former BYU Runner, became the first openly LGBTQ athlete at Brigham Young University when she came out just a few years ago. Today she shares her story of sports and courage. We hear what it was like in her position and what it was like before and after coming out. BYU is indeed a private university, owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and like many private schools, has an honor code they uphold. This is another topic of discussion for Emma and myself as I ask her about why she continued to go to school at BYU, knowing it was a private university with those guidelines set in place that didn't necessarily go in line with her lifestyle. It's always great to hear new perspectives in the sports world, and I hope you enjoy our interview! We look forward to reading Emma's book when it is completed! ___________________________________ As the host of the show, I truly appreciate all of your support!

He started Lacrosse a little later in his athletic career. From Soccer, to Basketball, and now Lacrosse, Dami Ashaye has been winning wherever he has gone! It's no secret that the winning culture has been part of his DNA. And now he is part of a very successful Lacrosse Program here in Idaho, with The College of Idaho. Lacrosse at C of I may sound familiar, because we had Coach Marcel Reed on the show just two years ago to discuss the program. Today we hear about what this program is all about, but from Dami's perspective! We will hear about the culture at the school. How the fans began to grow around the team. How the team continued to learn, year after year, ready to prove they belonged in the discussion amongst the top teams in the sport. We also learn of what it was like from a player's perspective to have their season cut short due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

In the Jewish religion, the Sabbath is observed from sundown Friday until Saturday evening. It's something that has been observed for thousands of years. For Tamir Goodman, this has been part of his life and he wasn't going to allow anything to change his faith and the way in which he practiced his faith. Even if it meant adjusting his basketball schedule around. During his high school days, he climbed up the rankings to being a top-25 player in the country, and he had a decision to make. He originally committed to Maryland, and ultimately made a big-time decision highly influenced by his faith and Sabbath Day observance, to change his commitment and play at Towson. His journey is super unique and inspiring. It's a story of a young man, who knew what he believed in and stood for what he believed in, in a world where this is very difficult to do. Listen to our conversation today and learn from the man known as the Jewish Jordan, Tamir Goodman. He still was able to play the game he loved and although the journey may have been "different" than what people thought it would be, it's the exact journey that God had destined for him.

You don't have to be the loudest person in the room to be a leader. TJ Edwards knows this first hand. He leads by example by bringing a winning mentality everywhere he goes! As the Great Lakes Valley Conference All-Time Leader in Yards & TDs, TJ has been doing his thing and competing at this level for quite some time. He's been able to overcome adversity throughout his journey through football and he's shown that no matter your journey, you are always in control of taking advantage of the opportunities given to you. In our interview today, you'll get to hear about his journey (which started at the age of 3 on the gridiron), what it was like playing high school football in Texas, what it was like going from Texas HS Football to a Division II School and then coming back to that same conference to finish up his final year of athletics. You'll also hear what he's up to now as he prepares to make a professional roster spot! He's showing all of us that while many things are outside of our control, you can still take advantage of the opportunities that are still here. TJ will be a major asset to any organization that picks him up. He's a proven passer with an absolute cannon for an arm, with a major pocket presence, who has the ability to move and make things happen on his feet!

The Gametime Guru Podcast is presented by 208 Printing! ____________________________________________ Back in 2010, I got introduction into the sports media world, when I was given the opportunity to do some Play-by-Play broadcasting with a company here in Idaho, for a local high school of ours. That company was IdahoSports.com and I'm forever grateful for the chance to learn the craft with them during that football season. Today, I get to speak to the man who gave me that chance originally! The man who runs IdahoSports.com, Paul Kingsbury. For YEARS he's been providing sports content to Idaho sports fans (mainly high school sports) by giving them a platform to have written content as well as game broadcasts. He travels week in and week out to make sure he is covering the games for the schools who want them there! And today, we get to hear a lot about his journey! We also get to hear about some fun memories he's had (like where he was broadcasting games from, since it's not always in the comfort of a press-box believe it or not), and where his favorite school is for fans and such! He's truly built this thing and he's had to adapt along the way, which makes Idahosports.com such a great source of information for sports fans in Idaho. Listen in and enjoy the discussion!! ____________________________________________ For all entrepreneurs who want to take their businesses to the next level, you MUST check this 30-Day Challenge that is literally ONLY $100!!

It's called the One Funnel Away Challenge and it's important to check this out NOW!! ____________________________________________ David Mckinzie, who is known as D-Mac, came to Boise State as a preferred walk-on as a Wide Receiver. Coming from Texas and after having a solid high school career, he was excited to come to a winning program like the Broncos. What's awesome about his story is, although his college career may not have been exactly what he had envisioned when originally coming to play football, he took advantage of a lot of opportunities that were presented to him, and he took those skillsets he acquired to his "post-college" phase of his life! D-Mac was fighting for a spot to play alongside some of the very best wide receivers to go through Boise State. He learned from some of the best at the position throughout his four and a half years, and today we get to hear what it was like being in his position. It's a perfect interview for athletes who are fighting for playing time and for those looking to see what they can learn from these types of experiences. D-Mac is the true example of being a team player, putting his best work in everyday without any guarantees, but then also leveraging his network for his post-college career! There's a reason he's crushing it as an entrepreneur these days and is doing big things to help in a lot of areas. He gets to give back at Boise State by helping with the overall in-game experience for fans at the football games (something I've experienced personally). It's important to listen and learn from someone like D-Mac, as he's been there and knows the steps it takes to get there. So pay attention! ____________________________________________ **Don't forget to leave me a 5-Star Review on iTunes** Follow me on Social Media: Instagram Twitter Facebook

Colby Blaine has ascended through the coaching ladder quite quickly, and for good reason! As head coach at the College of Idaho, the teams he has led, have compiled a record of 62-9. He had his team ranked #1 in the NAIA Division II rankings before heading to the tournament last season, which like the rest of college athletics, ended abruptly due to the coronavirus pandemic. Today we'll learn about Colby's journey that started way back in his playing days, when he began acting as a coach on the court. He has been led by many amazing mentors in his life, and has had a lot of great experience including a Junior College National Championship at the College of Southern Idaho in 2011 as an Assistant Coach on that staff. His interview today on The Gametime Guru is insightful. We learn more about the school, more about recruiting, more about culture and the atmosphere at this "smaller" NAIA School in Caldwell, Idaho.

My Sports Broadcasting Portfolio Not everyone follows the same journey to the pros. For some, they go to a D1 University, dominate, and get drafted in the 1st Round of the NFL Draft and move on with their careers. For others, like Donovan Isom, they take a different route, which is what makes them unique! Today we get to hear about the journey that Donovan, the former Texas Wesleyan Quarterback, took (and is currently on) on his way to the pros! From leaving one school to returning back home. To getting an additional opportunity at Texas Wesleyan to get more experience, to now, practicing throwing passes to Dez Bryant. It's been one hell of a ride!

In Brazil, the dominant sport is Soccer (futebol em Portugues), and I always found it fascinating to meet people who competed in sports OUTSIDE of Soccer. It was like everyone EXPECTED Brazilians to all compete in Soccer. That's why I'm so excited to speak with Lucio Martins today on the show! Lucio competed at the highest level as a former professional handball player in Brazil and today he joins the show to share his experience with us! We will learn of the differences between Handball in Brazil compared to that which we may be used to here in the United States along with many other things! So don't miss it!

There are many advantages to participating in college athletics. Obviously you get to compete against others at a high level, and for some, they move onto the next level in their sport after school is complete. For others, they have to find what's next in life as they transition out of sports and into the "real world." Derek Wieting joins the show today to talk about his journey. From the early days playing sports, to becoming the Defensive Player of the Year in High School and getting an offer to play football at the University of Idaho. While at U of I, Derek utilized football to not only help him on the field, but outside as well. He built his network in college and utilized the education that football had presented him with. For athletes going on to play college sports, listen to Derek and learn from him as he teaches many important principles about what you should be doing while you are playing sports. You can definitely utilize the educational side of the scholarship just as much as you can utilize the "sports" side of it. If you enjoy this interview, all I ask is that you leave me a review on Apple Podcasts and give me 5-Stars! Thank you so much!

There is so much emphasis in power, and explosion when you hear about the "training" aspect of sports. So many coaches from a young age want to see how much weight you can lift and the focus is so often set in on that piece of training, and we happen to neglect the other important aspects of it. Recovery, stretching, mobility, etc. These are all super important, yet often overlooked, aspects of training. This is how you truly take your body to the next level in your training. For this reason, we are bringing on a Facial Stretch Therapy Specialist (FST Specialist), Kody Olinger, to share his knowledge with the rest of us. Kody has a history of competing as an athlete and has a passion for helping others! He's worked with many athletes (including Drew Brees) and he's here to help you all understand the importance of what he does. What I love about Kody's approach is his focus on what some would call the "non-traditional" things. (Breathing being one of them). But what I encourage you all to do is to put aside what you have been taught and listen to this with an open mind. I guarantee you'll come out of it better when you implement what Kody teaches. I also want you do to me a favor and follow Kody on all of his platforms.

On Episode 141 of the show, we spoke with Boone Bartlome. Today we hear from the man who was coaching him that season. A man who has the "magic touch" as a coach. Known for turning programs around wherever he goes. A man who opens up about how Boone's accident impacted him as a Head Coach. Coach Lee Leslie shares with us his journey as a football coach and what he does to help these kids take things to the next level. He also gives some very sound advice for coaches and parents everywhere. It's an encouraging interview and a great opportunity for all of us to open our eyes, and make some adjustments where necessary. Please give this episode a listen as we get to know about Coach Leslie, and get to hear his perspective of Boone Bartlome's experience in the process! __________________________________________________________ **If you enjoy this interview, please leave me a review on Apple Podcasts** Don't forget to get your FREE 30-Day trial to Audible so you can listen to your favorite audiobooks: Audibletrial.com/thegametimeguru

From a young age, Boone was an incredible athlete! Anything he did for sports, came naturally for him. He grew up being elite at whatever sport he played and he thoroughly enjoyed it! From Youth Baseball to Optimist Football, to Rodeo later on in his teens, he just loved to compete at a high level. After having given football a break while he focused on other sports, in 2013, Boone made a football comeback while he was attending Kuna High School. After a promising season, the team reached the State Playoffs. In their State Playoff Game, while blocking as a wide receiver, Boone took a fall and collided with a teammate's knee, breaking his neck and leaving him paralyzed. A devastating injury on what some would call a "freak accident." Today, Boone talks about the experience and he talks about how he continues to overcome the obstacles that have come his way since then. It's a true story of inspiration, and motivation. This interview will give you perspective on life. Through Boone's words, you'll find yourself becoming more and more motivated to give it everything you've got because you truly never know when you may not have that chance again. Listen in and enjoy learning from a man who has overcome many obstacles in life and who truly shows us what it is like to take advantage of EVERY opportunity that presents itself!

UFC 249 taking place without fans is one of the biggest events in sports history! I'll tell you why!

Sports are just as much mental as they are physical. There's a lot one must do to actually train their mind, especially when some of the concepts may seem foreign to them. Like, "Neutral Thinking" for example. This is what Trevor Moawad specializes in. He teaches the power and skill of "neutral thinking." He teaches athletes and trains them on the power of it all. It may seem "different" to the average person, but it's not all that crazy. In fact, you may find yourself doing exactly what I did after reading his book (It Takes What It Takes), taking notes and implementing what I was being taught. In our interview today, we discuss Trevor's book in more detail and he provides us with some of his awesome knowledge based on the experience that he had in his life while working for some of the best, most well known and most successful programs in College Football. Don't miss out on what he has to share. Make sure to follow Trevor on his platforms: Instagram: @trevormoawad and @thinkbig_gofar You can find more about Trevor here: https://moawadconsultinggroup.com/ Please follow Trevor as he continues his work! And if you enjoy this interview, please leave me a 5-Star Review! I'd truly appreciate it!

Today I share the story of where my lack of confidence in myself began. How many of us know of someone (or ourselves) who has all the skill or potential in the world, but never is able to tap into that potential and/or skillset due to the lack of confidence in themselves? How do we go about instilling confidence in our athletes at a young age so they can perform in sports, business, life, relationships, etc? I'm genuinely curious what people think!!

We learn of lessons from his father, of the relationship with his brother, Michael Buffer (known for the "Let's Get Ready to Rumble" phrase in his announcing), his businesses Bruce has run, what it's like being the voice of the octagon and working in the sport of Mixed Martial Arts, and what he's doing right now to better himself and continue to grow!

Have you ever heard about the "Shark Mindset?" See, Mr. Walter Bond always preaches how we must have that Shark Mindset. Because Sharks never stop moving! From his days at the University of Minnesota where he came off the bench for his entire career, to the time he made the NBA and ended up getting into the starting lineup for the Dallas Mavericks on opening night, Walter Bond has NEVER stopped moving. He uses his experiences in basketball to help him in his business career now. He's a thought leader, business coach, and motivational speaker. Listen to him speak of his days with the Utah Jazz, where he played alongside John Stockton, Karl Malone, and under the amazing coach, Jerry Sloan. Hear him speak of what he learned during that process.

What we must realize, is the actual dedication it takes to make sure your body is in the right condition to compete at the highest level. IF the NBA comes back and they want to finish the season in the summer, just how long will it take for the players to come back fully healthy? How much time do we need? Do we need them to have 4-8 weeks to get their bodies right? Should we risk potential injuries for these players? ___________________________________________________________ ______________________________________ Get your Audible Free Trial: audibletrial.com/thegametimeguru bit.ly/GametimeGuruPodcast Ever wanted to know about the One Funnel Away Challenge and getting your business online?!

The great debate. Should you play more than one sport? How does it benefit you and what may it be doing to hinder your development? There's MANY sides to this discussion. So today, I'm bringing on a good friend of mine, Bryon Brotzman, to speak about it from his perspective! Bryon grew up with two older brothers (Kyle, one of his older brothers joined my show back on Episode 55) and they all played multiple sports. Soccer, Baseball, Basketball (and then even Football). We talk injuries. Does it take a toll on your body? Age, weight room, etc. All the little things that go into playing multiple sports and when it might be a good idea to focus in on one sport. Also, does the evolution of Club Sports make an impact on whether an athlete can actually compete in multiple sports? We touch base on that too! You don't want to miss this episode of the show!

From all the way when I was a young child until now, at 31 years old, I have ALWAYS found comfort in sports. I remember, the days (really the whole last month) leading up to my church mission, I was SO NERVOUS I couldn't sleep. I had a fear of the unknown. Nobody before me in my immediate family had served a mission and I didn't know what to expect. I wouldn't sleep in my room, I'd have to sleep on the couch. You know why? Because it allowed me to turn on ESPN and have Sports Center playing in the background so I could sleep through the night. I found comfort in hearing the same replays OVER and OVER again throughout the evening. Sports brought me comfort. It was "more than a game" to me. Sports were, and continue to be, a medication of sorts for me. Like a good friend once said, "they matter because they don't matter." I know the sports world is in chaos right now, but I'm going to tell you something, the fact that the NBA used its platform to take a major step (albeit an unpopular one in the eyes of some), showed me once again, that Sports are "more than a game." Going back to what I said, I was called to serve. And my passion is sports. That is EXACTLY why I began my sports podcast three years ago. I wanted to share that passion with the world. Which is EXACTLY why I've made the decision to continue to produce content while I can. With the hope that even if it's just once a week, someone can tune into MY show and get away from the worries of the world. They can tune into MY show and hear from motivational individuals as they share their stories with the rest of us! That is why I will continue to produce content and keep my podcast running! I believe it can help the world believe it or not, and even if it's a small impact, at least I'm doing something. I want to provide that same comfort to others through sports discussions and interviews, that ESPN brought to me throughout my whole life.

In baseball, it's important you train mentally as much as you train physically. Especially when it comes to the skill of "hitting." A player who trains themselves mentally, to be prepared for various situations before they even happen, typically will have more success on the field.

He's even put together "The Hitter's Blackbook" which you can find by going here: https://www.thehittersblackbook.com/ Today he shares his journey and what he went through as a player as well as a coach and how that's helped him in his business.

I grew up DESPISING Kobe and the Lakers organization. For years I would constantly say terrible things and just find ways to hate on the man, simply because he was better than my team! The Jazz couldn't seem to get past him and the Lakers and I think it had a lot to do with my frustrations! As I grew older, I gained a HUGE respect for the man as I began to have real life situations that helped me see things through a different lens. My hope is this message today will help someone, to appreciate greatness and not take these people like Kobe for granted. And to help us see the greatness, and try and implement their teachings!
