Episode 059 of the D&D Fitness Radio Podcast welcomes Drew Mitchell from Penticton, BC, Canada to talk about his ongoing efforts to improve physical literacy in younger generations and the general population as a whole. We discuss the reduction in physical education requirements for our children in schools, as well as the lack of emphasis on teaching the teachers about proper physical education instruction and curriculum development. Drew also discusses the social benefits of being involved in sports, athletic pursuits, team building and competition, as kids are forced to deal with each other face-to-face and in the moment. These types of interactions also teach kids how to deal with failure and losing in a constructive manner, operating with rules, personal responsibility, accountability and consequences. This discussion is important for everyone to hear because of the far-reaching implications for health, productivity and general enjoyment of life. Drew also explains how much work and time is needed to build physical literacy at the local community level. The task is daunting, but incredibly necessary.Drew Mitchell works as a consultant focused on the development of physical literacy at the community level and promoting the Canadian Sport for Life Movement. He is a graduate of Simon Fraser University with a Bachelor ofScience in Kinesiology. Drew has worked extensively in the physical activity & sport system as an educator and developer of programs for the past 19 years. He managed Sport Technical and Performance Services for viaSport BC and was the Manager of Science & Medicine programs for SportMedBC where he worked with over 50 different sports at the local, provincial and national level. He is also a past member of the Canadian National Canoeing Team and the former Health & Lifestyle Coordinator at the Downtown Vancouver YMCA.

In Episode 058 of the D&D Fitness Radio Podcast, you will undoubtedly be inspired by the sheer courage and determination of retired Navy Seal and Best Selling Author, Jason Redman. Jason provides us with a detailed walk through his career in the Navy Seals and identifies the physical tests and ‘weeding-out’ process used by the organization to find the best individuals for the job. While everyone talks about training like a “Seal”, it is not until you hear about the actual tests and training that you quickly figure out that this lifestyle is not for everyone. We also get to hear about the grueling rehabilitation process Jason went through following significant injuries incurred in a firefight in Iraq. The numerous surgeries and physical therapy required to essentially put Jason back together revealed his true grit and resiliency. Jason discusses these experiences and the leadership required to battle adversity as a motivational speaker and author. His upcoming book, “Overcome” teaches individuals how to overcome adversity with proven habits and mindsets learned by Jason over his extensive military career, his rehabilitation and his successful career in business. The book will be released December 10, 2019.Former Lieutenant Jason Redman spent eleven years as an enlisted Navy SEAL and ten years as a SEAL Officer. On September 13, 2007, outside of Fallujah, Iraq, LT Redman’s Assault Team came under heavy machine gun and small arms fire, and he was severely wounded in the ensuing firefight. While recovering at Bethesda Naval Medical Center, LT Redman wrote and hung a bright orange sign on his door, which became a statement and symbol for wounded warriors everywhere. He was awarded the Bronze Star Medal with Valor, the Purple Heart, the Defense Meritorious Service Medal, two Combat Action Ribbons and the US Army Ranger tab along with numerous other personal and unit awards. LT Redman is the author of “The Trident: The Forging and Reforging of a Navy SEAL Leader,” which details lessons learned in leadership and overcoming adversity throughout his Navy SEAL career, his service in Afghanistan and Iraq and his personal journey with his wife Erica and their three children.Redman retired from the Navy in 2013, and founded Wounded Wear, a Non-Profit organization which supports combat wounded warriors and families of the fallen. In 2014, Redman founded SOF Spoken, a speaking company which focuses on leadership, teamwork, and overcoming adversity for businesses, first responders, sports teams, and government organizations.For more information on Jason Redman, you can follow him via the links below:Website: https://www.jasonredman.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jasonredmanww/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jasonredmanww/Twitter: https://twitter.com/JasonRedmanWWThe D&D Fitness Radio podcast is available at the following locations for downloadable audio, including: iTunes – https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/d-d-fitness-radio-podcast/id1331724217https://www.iheart.com/podcast/dd-fitness-radio-28797988/Spreaker.com – https://www.spreaker.com/show/d-and-d-fitness-radios-showYou can reach both Don and Derek at the following locations: Don Saladino: http://www.DonSaladino.com Twitter and...

In Episode 055, we speak with Jordan Shallow on many issues related to training and injuries. Specifically, we get into discussions around exercise selection and optimal loading strategies for different scenarios. Jordan shares his thoughts on the reasons behind various injuries, but also touches on the importance of the psychological mind set around training, competition and rehabilitation. Whether it’s training in a gym, preparing for a boxing match or leading from the front in a foot race, the attitude you bring will greatly determine the quality of the outcome.Dr Jordan Shallow is a graduate of the 135th class of Palmer College of Chiropractic West, but his passion for human movement go far beyond the classroom. With a critical mind and a decade of training/strength and conditioning under his belt he brings an experience level far beyond his years. With his experience he also brings a level of empathy to his patients, after 15 years of competitive sports and an active lifestyle there is rarely an injury that is on his table that he, himself has not experienced.For more information on Jordan Shallow, you can follow her via the links below:Website: https://themuscledoc.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_muscle_doc/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jordan.shallowYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzXqjJB345oP7LqrTUB52XQThe D&D Fitness Radio podcast is available at the following locations for downloadable audio, including: iTunes – https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/d-d-fitness-radio-podcast/id1331724217https://www.iheart.com/podcast/dd-fitness-radio-28797988/Spreaker.com – https://www.spreaker.com/show/d-and-d-fitness-radios-showYou can reach both Don and Derek at the following locations: Don Saladino: http://www.DonSaladino.com Twitter and Instagram - @DonSaladino YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/donsaladino Derek M.
