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.

The Soul Gym
Self-Sabotage (the podcast you don't even know you need)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
You're your own worst opponent. And most athletes never talk about it.
In this episode, Lance and Steve get raw. No highlights, no polished stories — just two guys who've lived it, naming the habits, patterns, and cycles that kept them bound longer than they want to admit. Because self-sabotage doesn't look like failure. Sometimes it looks like almost making it, over and over again.
We break down what self-sabotage actually is, where it comes from, and why willpower alone will never be enough to break it. Then we go somewhere most performance podcasts won't — confession. The kind that doesn't just acknowledge the problem, but actually sets you free from it.
This episode might be the one you didn't know you needed.
Train everything. Lack nothing.
