The Soul Gym
Every other peak performance podcast gives you the tools and leaves out the power source. We don't.
The Soul Gym equips Christian athletes in college and pro sports with the mindset science, physical performance strategies, and unshakeable identity in Jesus Christ to become complete — lacking nothing — on the field, in ministry, and in life.
We build the foundation on Jesus first. Then we stack the strategies of mind and body on top. That's not a religious show. That's a complete show.
Hosted by Lance Thonvold — Seattle Mariners MLB draft pick, D1 athlete at the University of Minnesota, Teammate of the Year, and a speaker who has stood in locker rooms across the SEC, Big 12, and Big 10 — and Steve Watson, former NFL player with the Washington Redskins and Baltimore Ravens, team chaplain for ASU Football, mentor to athletes at every level, and founder of BE BOLD.
Two guys who've lived it. One show that doesn't leave anything out.
Train everything. Lack nothing.
