Game-Changing Leadership That Outlives the Scoreboard

In this special compilation episode of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman sits down with three powerhouse leaders who have taken lessons from the field and turned them into lasting impact—proving that true leadership extends far beyond the game.First, we hear from Kaleb Thornhill, a trailblazer in the NFL’s player engagement and development space. With over 15 years of front office experience, Kaleb created the groundbreaking “Business Combine,” a transformational off-field experience for current and former NFL players. As Co-Founder of the Pro Athlete Community (PAC), he’s dedicated to investing in athletes’ futures, accelerating growth, and building community that lasts long after the final whistle.Next, we revisit my conversation with Ted Rath, who at the time was Head Strength Coach for the LA Rams and Sean McVay’s famous “get back coach.” Now the VP of Player Performance for the Philadelphia Eagles, Ted shares his inspiring journey into the NFL, the mindset required to build championship culture, and the lessons learned from guiding elite athletes at the highest level.Finally, we close with Tyler Owens, former Alabama player turned championship-caliber strength and conditioning coach. From working alongside legendary coaches at Alabama to leading programs at the University of Arizona and now Washington University, Tyler breaks down what it really takes to coach, develop, and prepare teams to perform when it matters most. His story is a masterclass in grit, leadership, and the relentless pursuit of excellence.This episode is a deep dive into leadership, preparation, and building a legacy that outlasts the scoreboard.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/K2svZG_MlUk🎧 Listen here: https://www.theburnpodcast.com************************************Learn about upcoming events and coaching: https://www.workwithbnc.com🔥 BIG AS TEXAS Bootcamp 2025: https://bennewman.net/texas-boot-camp/Get Ben’s latest book The STANDARD:  https://amzn.to/3DE1clY1stWork directly with Ben: https://www.bennewmancoaching.comConnect with Ben Newman:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/continuedfightFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Continuedfight/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ContinuedFightLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-newman-b0b693https://www.bennewmancoaching.com************************************Learn about our Upcoming events and programs:https://www.workwithbnc.comLet’s work TOGETHER https://www.bennewmancoaching.comLet's work together to write YOUR next book- BNC PublishingSend us a messageOrder my latest book The STANDARD: Winning at YOUR Highest Level: https://amzn.to/3DE1clY1st Phorm | The Foundation of High Performance Nutrition1stPhorm.com/bnewmanConnect with me everywhere else:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/continuedfightFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/Continuedfight/Twitter: https://twitter.com/ContinuedFightLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ben-newman-b0b693
