My Last Helmet Note…EVER! [Ep. 396]
Todd Durkin IMPACT Show
I dreaded the day knowing it was coming…and it’s here. Since my son Luke was in the 7th grade and he started playing Pop Warner football, I always put a “helmet note” in his helmet the night before every game. I did the same thing with my son Brady as well, albeit a different message. I do the same thing with what I call “Cleat Notes” for my daughter McKenna’s lacrosse and soccer games now. But this weekend is my last HELMET NOTE. WOW. I’ve never shared a HELMET NOTE publicly…until today. 10+ years of writing notes before ALL their games. Sometimes it’s a few...

INTERN Q&A: Starting a Business, Wisdom, & What Pain Teaches Us [Ep. 394]
Todd Durkin IMPACT Show
What a fun episode today as I got the opportunity to sit down and chop it up with 3-young college interns from Fitness Quest 10 and their Director (Ryan Rogers). It was awesome to have an open conversation on all things on their mind and how I can help them on their journey in health, fitness, & coaching. They asked some very thought-provoking questions that lead to deep reflections and deep answers. Here are the questions that the 3 interns (Larry Hando, Max Jackson, and Ian Castillo) asked Ryan Rogers and I on today’s IMPACT SHOW podcast: 1. "What was the moment that you knew you...

It’s a BIG week. There is a presidential election going on, we have the Grand Opening for IMPACT-X Performance in Huntington Beach, CA, and it’s Parents Weekend at Davidson College this weekend as my son Luke has only 2 football games left in his college career.

In today’s episode, I talk about the power of change, its inevitability, the growth it can foster, and how our mindset influences our journey.

Celebrating Momma Durkin: Parenting Life Lessons & a $25,000 Trip | Ep. 390
Todd Durkin IMPACT Show
I’m sitting on the banks of Lake Norman, NC, as I record this and I’m feeling especially sentimental and emotional. There are several reasons why, but none more than the fact that my Mom, “Muffy” Durkin, is aging and she turns 92-years old this week. She’s down in Florida resting-up and I want to celebrate her with all of you in my podcast community. As a matter of fact, I want to dedicate this episode to her today. My family has been spending a lot of time down in FL the last several months as she needs round the clock health care. Well, I’ve shared before that Mom...

But this weekend is my last HELMET NOTE.
WOW. I’ve never shared a HELMET NOTE publicly…until today. 10+ years of writing notes before ALL their games. Sometimes it’s a few sentences. Normally it’s a few paragraphs. Every now and then it’s a bit longer. Today, it’s DEEP.
On today’s IMPACT SHOW podcast, you will hear…
- How my father started the tradition of “Helmet Notes” with me as a 6th-Grade
Pop Warner player and the IMPACT it had on me. - The frame-work of every HELMET NOTE or CLEAT NOTE.
- Why do “Helmet Notes” or “Cleat Notes” for your kids?
- My LAST HELMET NOTE.
- “9” Traits of Greatness.
- What can you do for your kids, or grand-kids, or those you coach/mentor?
While this weekend will be Luke’s last college football game and I’m excited to see him play, I’m also excited to drop some gems in this one that are going to serve him the rest of his life. Here we go…
