In this episode of Coach 'Em Up, Tim Riley sits down with strength coach and mental performance expert Mike Aidala to discuss the intersection of physical and emotional fitness. Mike shares his journey from strength coach to mental performance specialist, including setting a Guinness World Record for the Turkish Get Up at 255 lbs. They explore how emotional intelligence impacts performance, the importance of living authentically, and practical ways to improve mental health.

Mike reveals his unique training background, including a college nutrition regimen of daily rotisserie chicken that helped him gain 35 pounds in only a few months. The conversation dives into what it means to operate in the "gray area" of emotions and how facing difficult feelings head-on builds resilience. Mike also shares insights from his work with professional athletes including Julian Edelman and lessons from his internship with the New York Jets.
