Episode #400! The Past, Present and Future of RTS and IFAST

Can you believe it??? 400 freakin’ episodes of the Physical Prep Podcast. It’s crazy just typing that number, let alone thinking that I’ve actually recorded and produced that many shows! But here’s the thing – the goal was never to do 400 shows. The goal was to do 50-100, and then shut it down. But the longer I do this, the more I enjoy it. The conversations. The people. The learning! So in today’s episode, I’m going to take you on a long and winding tour of IFAST, Robertson Training Systems, and what you can look forward to in the months and years to come here on the podcast. Let’s do this!   We are servants to others…but if I want to have the biggest impact on other people, I have to take care of myself FIRST. – MR   This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast: How this episode is like the “State of the IFAST and RTS Union” How Young Lance’s wedding had me all in my feels Reflections on the amazing run we had at IFAST, and why it’s time to evolve 23 years in, the things that still get me excited about training and coaching What’s most important to Mike Robertson at 45 years of age Why letting go of the internship program is so hard, but absolutely the next step in my growth Waaaayyyyy too many thank-you’s, but especially to Bill Questions I’m asking myself to reframe my life, career and learning going forward The people outside of IFAST and RTS that have driven our growth My content strategy going forward (aka what I’m going to do with the podcast, videos and newsletter going forward) A quick overview of my most downloaded podcasts, and a contrast between where we started and where we are now!
