Hey all, this week I will be having on my high school football coach, Mike Lengel. Coach implemented a philosophy to coaching unlike any I have experienced tying in practices of mindfulness and positivity. Together, we worked to rebuild a high school football program that was at its extreme low point when he took the reigns. He taught us that football was not meant to be something that took over your life, but rather supplemented it and supported your pursuits elsewhere. A college football player himself, he comes with a long background of coaching dos and don'ts fueled by his own experiences. He bought into his new age practices, encouraging us all to buy into it with him. I hope that our generation can improve our practices as educators and coaches through his experiences and teachings and create a world where you do not have to give up on one passion in place for another, and where mental health can be supported either implicitly or explicitly along the way. Enjoy!
Per usual, a special thank you to Pixabay.com for the Royalty Free music I use on the show!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
