32. #32: Alex Brooker

On Episode 32 we got the privilege to sit down and speak with Alex Brooker, a trainer based in Switzerland. His areas of training expertise are, but not limited to, NHL Athletes, Olympic Level Athletes, and Performance Psychology & Hypnotherapy. He is also widely known for his seat as a co-host on the Mike and Brooker Show podcast, specializing in all things mind, body and spirit. This was both, Anthony and Tori’s first time getting to chat and live through some of the life changing experiences Alex has embarked on, and continues to do so. We hope you sit back and revel in it as much as we did.

Start: 12:18

1:00 - Brooker’s early introduction to fitness and health started with an interest in rugby. He quickly felt the pain of not being “blessed genetically” and knew that his improvements would have to stem by putting the work in through strength training.

6:00 - Mike Guadango, a trainer of a plethora of professional athletes, gave him the opportunity of interning at the very popular fitness hub, DeFranco’s. He credits that early opportunity as something that gave him a starting focus with his career.

8:00 - Eventually he found himself getting into the massage world and that brought him onto national teams, specifically Switzerland.

17:00 - A heavy topic for many piloting their own modern businesses, Brooker saw that there was no innovation within the Swiss team, and took that as an opportunity for change and to help reach improvement.

33:00 - While he won’t speak for everyone, partaking in a lot of traveling, by himself and with others played a pivotal role in experienced based learning for him.

35:00 - Your environment can catastrophically change your life. Being as young as 24, coaching ice hockey, Brooker developed that all or nothing mentality early on.

40:00 - Listen to your intuition. There is nothing more disheartening than repressing yourself. That anxiety that we are all so familiar with is based off of physiology.

48:00 - The people around you, better support you.
