The Lost Art of Mentorship

On this new episode of The Long & Thick, Daniel and Ronnie discuss mentorship and 5 key factors within it. This is an important episode in particular. Mentorship is a lost art within our current western society. Few people have experienced it and most don't recognize how vital it truly is. The things we dive into on this episode are as follows:  . What is mentorship? . Humans will find mentors unintentionally . Some of our mentors . Personal Mentorship . Professional Mentorship   This episode is brought to you by PersonalTrainerU — PTU Biomechanics Course 1.0 from Jason Colley. Look, as trainers we have all been there. Client’s knees cave in every squat. You cue it. You stretch the hip. You strengthen the glute. It keeps happening. Or a client’s shoulder keeps flaring up no matter how you program around it. And you are doing everything right but something upstream is driving that pattern and you cannot see it. That is exactly what PTU Biomechanics Course 1.0 is built to fix. Jason Colley built this course around one central idea. Your client’s structure and breathing mechanics drive everything downstream. Their hip loading. Their foot mechanics. Their compensation patterns under load. All of it. The system is built around 5 pillar principles: Structure, Relative motion, gait, extra cellular matrix and lastly assessment/programming. . Once you learn how they all integrate as one, you stop guessing and start seeing. Nine modules covering structure, breathing, gait, relative motion, ECM, foot mechanics, shoulder, assessment, and a full programming system you can apply the very next session. This is not a lecture course. Every concept connects directly to exercise selection, cueing, and loading decisions on the gym floor. What makes it different from every other biomechanics course out there is that it gives you one unified framework. Not a collection of isolated tools or strategies but a connected system that explains why your client moves the way they do and exactly what to do about it. Three ways to join. Self-paced at $750. Live cohort at $1,250 with direct access to Jason. Or a payment plan of two payments of $700.
