Leave Your Mark
The Leave Your Mark Podcast is where high performance meets human stories. Each week, we go beyond résumés and highlight reels to explore how extraordinary people, high achievers who are also genuinely good humans, have been shaped by their environments, experiences, and the people around them.
More importantly, we uncover how they are leaving their mark on the world.
Step inside the minds and lives of remarkable individuals from sport, business, arts, and beyond, and walk away inspired to leave your own mark.
Your host, Scott Livingston, has spent over 35 years in the world of human performance. He’s trained, reconditioned, and supported some of the best athletes on the planet, working inside elite performance environments and learning firsthand what it takes to be the best in the world.

Earning Trust, Building Relationships & Finding Your Way in High Performance with Jason Martin

What does it really take to build a career in professional sport?
This week on Leave Your Mark, I sit down with strength and conditioning coach Jason Martin as he prepares to begin a new chapter as Head Strength and Conditioning Coach with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Jason’s path began early, earning his first training certification at just 16 before completing his Physical Education degree at McGill University. His career would eventually take him through CrossFit, professional tennis, Major League Baseball, more than a decade of working with hockey players, and three seasons in player development with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
But this conversation is about much more than Jason’s résumé.
We talk about the influence of mentorship, particularly his relationship with Andy O’Brien, and why experience can’t simply be replaced by collecting certifications. Jason shares his thoughts on asking for feedback, recognizing your limitations, building genuine relationships, and allowing a career to develop without trying to engineer every next step.
We also dig into one of the most important challenges of working in professional sport: earning the trust of athletes who didn’t necessarily choose you to work with them.
Jason’s philosophy is refreshingly simple. Ask questions. Listen. Understand what the athlete needs. Be good to people. Do quality work. And give trust the time it needs to develop.
A great conversation about coaching, mentorship, relationships, experience, and the long game of building a meaningful career in high performance.
