Twin Cities Kettlebell Club

The Platform Podcast

136 episodes. Listeners in more than 7 countries. Topics ranging from kettlebell sport technique and programming to energy systems, resilience, sport psychology, and what it actually takes to build a sustainable athletic life. I started this show because I kept having conversations in the gym and on coaching calls that I thought more people needed to hear. That's still why I do it.

What the Show Is About

The Platform Podcast covers the intersection of sport, health, and performance — from the technical side of kettlebell sport to the mental and behavioral side of being an athlete across a lifetime. Some episodes are solo, some are interviews. The through-line is honest conversation about what the work actually looks like, not the highlight reel version.

Kettlebell sport programming and technique
Building sustainable training habits
Competition prep — technical and mental
Nutrition that supports performance
Staying an athlete through your 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond
Interviews with athletes, coaches, and interesting people

If You're Here from the Podcast

A lot of people find me through the show before they know anything about the coaching. If you've been listening and you're curious what it looks like to actually work together, the coaching page is the place to start.
