Becoming My Stronger Me
"Becoming My Stronger Me” is a podcast designed to help you become stronger in mind, body, and heart.
Season 1 - Like 47 million other Americans, I voluntarily left my successful full-time career to pursue, well, whatever was next. We’ll call this “my great resignation.” As you get to know me, you’ll see that I’m a type A planner. So to make a life choice without some grand detailed master plan on the other side was unheard of. But now, 2 years later, it was the best decision of my life. Join me as I share my story, questions I asked myself (or wish I had), missteps I made (and how to avoid them), the effect this had on me and everyone around me, and other musings that helped me to become my stronger me.
Season 2 - The Mental Performance Series is dedicated to exploring the intricate relationship between mental performance, sports excellence, leadership, and personal growth. We’ll dive deep into the psychology behind peak performance in athletics, leadership roles, and everyday life. Whether you're an athlete looking to optimize your mental game on the field, a leader seeking to inspire and motivate your team, or an individual striving for personal growth and success, this series provides practical tips, actionable strategies, and inspiring stories to help you unlock your full potential and become your stronger you.

Derek Phillips was born in Trinidad and Tobago but most of his upbringing was in Columbia, Maryland. His soccer career started in Howard County where he played for Atholton High School and represented the Maryland State Team. His outstanding play as a collegiate player at UMBC landed him a position with several Professional teams including Dallas Sidekicks, Cocoa Expos, Shamrock Rovers, Derry City, and others. The highlight of his career was when he represented his native country, Trinidad and Tobago against Republic of Korea.
He attributes his soccer career to the guidance received from many exceptional coaches including his father, Lincoln Phillips, world renowned goalkeeper and FIFA Coach. Upon retiring as a soccer player, he was excited to start a new chapter in his life and began the journey as a Strength and Conditioning Coach. His technical ability as a soccer player, fascination with the intricacies of movements of the body, he founded Inside Out Performance, LLC.
He has had the opportunity to coach the U-13 and U-16 Boys Super Y-League, Women's Soccer Team at Loyola University, Men's Soccer Team at Howard University, and proudly with local youth soccer clubs for the past 3 decades.
