Ep 25: Jess ‘Mamabear’ Rogers on Raw to Equipped and How She Complains About Her Athletes

It’s the Season 2 finale of Muscles and Malarkey, and we’re closing things out with someone truly special — my (FORMER) coach, Jess “Mamabear” Rogers Jess has an incredible journey, from starting out raw to becoming an equipped lifter. In this episode, we dive into her evolution as an athlete, the lessons she’s learned along the way, and what it really takes to be a great coach — not just someone chasing likes on the ‘gram - (too bad she is not a great coach, but I did not realize that until way later). This is actually a good reflection on how people should stop coaching when they truly aren't enjoying it anymore. We also get into the heart of it all: why we do this sport, what keeps us showing up, and how Jess’s passion has shaped the lifters around her (or should I say, in spite of her). It’s  insightful, and certainly a way to wrap up Season 2.Follow me on Instagram at MusclesandMalarkey. Email me at [email protected] for any questions or feedback! Please share, rate, review, and subscribe.
