I’ve been an avid follower of this podcast for almost a year now and it’s been like legal PED’s for an exercise professionals brain lol. The stories, insight, guests, and dialogue by TD and Phil is one of the best in the space of podcasting and education. As much as this is for Ball-is-Life advocates, any trainer, coach, and student can learn so much valuable perspective that can instantly translate to results in with your clients, team, and career.

Tim does a great job interviewing guests from all levels of the game. I pick up a coaching nugget of wisdom every episode. The conversations always dive deep into the nuances of the game and of life! A must listen for all basketball coaches and fans!

As a personal trainer I want to serve my clients the best I can. This podcast offers pearls of wisdom and information every episode. Thank you!!!

I love this show and I love how Timmy D. is focused on the lessons of sport and not just the sport itself. What we learn from sports always goes beyond the sport and Timmy clearly learned that from an early age! You only have to listen to a few episodes of Basketball Strong to know that this podcast is about way more than Basketball. Keep up the phenomenal work!

Being a basketball coach I’m a true believe that there’s more to the game of basketball than just shots and reps. This podcast deep dives into everything basketball. I can’t wait to hear more episodes!

Great stuff ! For sure makes me want to listening to more stories about behind the scenes in the NBA stories , plus starting it off with a Kobe story was absolutely great. Thank you for that Tim ! Look forward to listen to more stories.

Love hearing these stories and being able to learn something from y’all at the same time. Really liked the part in the newest episode (54) when Keith was talking about the coach yelling at him for the player being too strong one weak and then too weak the next 🤣.

I really enjoyed listening to this episode and how it highlighted many different aspects of recovery for athletes. I liked the part about sleep and how each athlete has their own approach to how they are going to get quality sleep. Studies can be done on them in order to offer each athlete with helpful sleep advice but it really is about them finding their approach for quality long term sleep with the help of that advice.

The podcast is great at mixing storytelling with relevant information on sports science and experiences that Tim and his guest speakers have gone through. You can learn a thing or two from listening to each episode of the podcast. Great listen!

I would recommend this to anyone who loves basketball as much as I do. There’s so much more to being a basketball player than just being on the court. Also very educational for those interested in taking care of their body. Tim leaves no stone unturned

Love the knowledge and deeper level of questions asked

I am a certified athletic trainer in the power 5 and this podcast is a great resource tool for professionals of all levels to improve their craft. Look forward for the future of these episodes ! Tim is very knowledgeable and breaks down the information into a format that is easy to understand and put into practice. Great job!

Awesome podcast and that coming from a podcast addict. Tim does an incredible job fininding guests for the show that he know shis audience want to hear from. There is an endless amount of information and things ot take from the episodes. 10/10 would recommened, this podcast helped me tremendously.

Great podcast that breaks down some complex topics in a easy to understand fashion. But what separates this podcast is its ability to weave storytelling in to the episodes, teaching some great life lessons in the process. Give it a listen and see for yourself!

This is a really special podcast that has something for EVERYONE! Learn how basketball greats overcame adversity to be at the top of their game…and how the same can apply to your life’s challenges. A must listen!!

This is a great podcast to listen to with your teenage basketball fans! My 15-year old and I spend a lot of time in the car together. This podcast has been a great way to mix it up from our usual music or news stations!

I didn’t grow up a basketball fan but this podcast is helping me make up for lost time. Inspiring and a fun listen. Thank you Tim and Phil!

TD brings his vast knowledge on sports medicine and a quirky sense of humor that keeps you engaged in the podcast; as opposed to some of the other experts in the field that are soooo dry Also, I find the case by case interactions that Tim has had with numerous pro athletes to be super interesting and obviously verifies his prominence in the field…if you had any doubts. Thx TD.

I find a lot of podcasts disappoint, failing to live up to what I’d been led to expect. Not Basketball Strong. It delivers. Tim and Phil conduct superb interviews with fascinating guests, and I learn a lot from every episode—and I don’t even play basketball! Great insights and amazing, often moving stories. Can’t ask for more than that!

This man helped me through my overseas playing career and now I get to listen to his first hand behind the scenes stories. Awesome show man!

Not only is Tim an expert on all matters relating to strength and conditioning, but his articulate and thoughtful way of delivering information to help assist others on their road to recovery from injuries is unmatched. As a 53 year-old surfer and soccer coach who is doing his best to keep up with people 20 years younger, Tim has provided invaluable help for me over the years that has kept me moving and fit. Enjoy!

Big time fan of this podcast and the guest! Keep up the awesome work!

The Basketball Strong has quickly become one of my favorite podcasts to listen to. Tim has great topics, in the trenches experience, and fantastic guests on each episode. Very educational and easy to listen to!

great work folks … keep digging for the stories behind the stories … the real reasons people are driven to achieve whatever they are visualizing … the best part has been hearing of the consistency of thought of achievers from when they were younger to now the results the grind can produce with some discipline and desire. thank you for the effort to produce such content that touches the heart!

One of my new favorite pods! Awesome content, interviews & story telling. Strongly recommend for anyone interested in high performance!

Love the episodes talking shop about the injuries and management techniques. Great listen for those starting out in the S&C, AT, and PT world within all of athletics.

As a high school basketball coach in CT, this pod really checks all the boxes for me with regards to hoops. Great stories, great insight, great information. I highly recommend you subscribe! Great job Timmy D.

I’m not the biggest basketball fan, but this podcast has taught me SO much in terms of fitness and rehab. The stories are inspiring and the advice is top notch.

I have only listened to the first episode so far but looking forward to hearing more stories that not only inspire and motivate basketball lovers but anyone who appreciates human interest stories🏀❤️

I really enjoy Tim’s insights into basket ball, life and overcoming adversity. I feel like listening to this podcast is time well spent!

Even if you aren’t a huge basketball fan, the stories told are inspiring and uplifting.

The variety of guests and topics makes The Basketball Strong Podcast a valuable listen for athletes, parents, or those looking to get better in any facet of life.

The combination of direct personal experience with professional athletes in the NBA and a gift for plain language explanation of how body and mind can be scientifically and compassionately coached to peak performance really works for me. The episode on the process of returning to sport from injury should be required listening for anyone who aspires to fulfill their potential now and into their golden years.

I can’t say I am surprised in how much I enjoy listening to this podcast. I have been lucky enough to have been coached by and worked with Tim in the strength and conditioning world. I really appreciate how this podcast marinates a multitude of topics that can be implemented and utilized in all areas of life. I was particularly intrigued with episode 12. To listen how one of the greatest athletes of all time used his mind to separate him from all the rest was special. Looking forward to what’s to come.

I found the podcasts insightful and useful - even though basketball isn’t my sport

The Dan Grunfeld podcast was excellent. Great questions by Tim and Phil. A real insight into the need for a positive attitude, grit, determination and a strong support network to help you through the great times and the tough times. An amazing story with learning to help us in sports and in life. Thank you Tim.

Tim’s knowledge of training the RIGHT way is unmatched. The podcast provided a glimpse into some of his methods, delivered through stories rather than lectures. Gotta check this out if you’re into training, taking care of your body, and athletics.

Just finished listening to the mamba mentality podcast. Really good stuff, Kobe’s mentality was just different. No one like him. Also, really happy I got in touch with Tim. Have already seen improvements in my body and look forward to continuing to workout with him.

Tim helped me to get my start in the fitness and performance enhancement industry, and for that I’m eternally grateful. He has a lot of knowledge and experience, but even more than that he’s an incredible person with a huge heart. You’re in the right place by listening to him, as this man puts out knowledge bombs after knowledge bombs! Help get this man to the moon because he deserves it for what he does for the people he works with.

I really liked episode 14 talking about different workload ratios to see how to properly increase intensity over time in a safe manner. Recently had an issue and this podcast was pretty relevant for me so I’m looking forward to continue watching more episodes! :)

Been following Tim since he was working w the Lakers.. he knows what he’s talking about. It’s awesome to see him expand to a podcast and I’m here for all of it! Let’s go!

Thankful for ur knowledge

Loved listening in to this podcast and learning more on how to improve on and off the court.

Been following TD since my knee surgeries, he’s a true Insider with really helpful info. Awesome work

What differentiates this podcast from others is its willingness to ask guests to confront vulnerable topics. That makes for interesting conversations on the surface, but, more importantly, it provides insights and introduces questions that open the listener to think about their own life. Getting to these raw foundations of the human experience is where the strength in basketball strong comes through. Part of the skill that makes this work is the hosts’ open minded, non-threatening approach to staying with a difficult topic despite what might normally feel uncomfortable. That courage pays off by making the conversations authentic and full of take-aways you can use. You’ll gain a lot from listening.

Tim and Phil do a great job getting the most from their guests. The conversations are smooth, informative, and most of all, enjoyable! I listen to a lot of podcasts and this one will definitely keep me coming back. Thanks Tim and Phil for making it happen.

Always appreciate Tim sharing his knowledge of fitness, exercise, nutrition and recovery. Great stories, guests, and research within. Will continue to listen for the hidden gems from others experiences. The Lakers didn’t know they had another great one in Tim.

Truly amazing job here. This podcast gives insights to aspects of hoops (and sport in general) that needs to be talked about. Tim and his crew dive deep into hardships and success both in and off the court. Anyone looking to be basketball strong should check it out

Fantastic show from a master trainer. Tim is both incredibly knowledgeable and has a holistic approach to fitness and athletes.

Tim is so knowledgeable and has all the experience you could imagine. These stories are honest, informative and binge-worthy.
