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.

Conversation with Rich Ryerson
In this episode, we’re joined by Rich Ryerson, a former professional soccer player, long-time collegiate coach, and passionate advocate for youth development through sport. Rich reflects on his journey from a standout player at UNLV, where he started all 84 games of his collegiate career, to playing professionally both in the U.S. and abroad.
As the former head coach of UNLV men’s soccer, Rich led the program for over a decade, guiding them to their first NCAA Tournament win in nearly three decades. His leadership extended beyond the field, securing critical funding and shaping a culture of growth and resilience.
Rich is now dedicated to creating global soccer experiences through Ryerson Soccer Tours, helping teams travel internationally for tournaments and cultural immersion. This conversation dives into mental toughness, building lasting impact through leadership, and the transformational power of sport—on and off the field.
