The Gap

In this episode of The Gap, Brett sits down with Trey Wooster for a real, unfiltered conversation on what it actually takes to build a high-level physique, business, and mindset in today’s world.
They dive deep into the balance between training, content creation, and life outside of both—breaking down how to avoid burnout, stay productive, and make decisions that actually move your life forward. Brett shares how shifting away from using training as an “escape” allowed him to level up in business, while Trey explains his approach to limiting distractions and staying locked in mentally.
The conversation transitions into training philosophy, where they unpack the importance of high vs. low intensity work, why “middle ground” training kills progress, and what it really means to train like an athlete—not just look like one. They also explore the concept of living like an athlete, emphasizing sleep, nutrition, and intellectual growth as the true high-ROI habits.
Trey shares his journey through the fitness industry, including his experience with social media, interning in performance facilities, and navigating imposter syndrome while building his brand. Together, they discuss how AI is impacting the industry—and why it will never replace real coaching, but instead amplify the importance of human connection.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, burnt out, or unsure of your next move… this one will hit.

In this episode, I sit down with Mike Delaney—a physical therapy student, Poland lacrosse player, and someone who’s battled back from not one, but two ACL surgeries.
We get into what it really takes to come back from major injuries and not just return—but perform at a high level again. Mike shares his perspective from both sides: as an athlete going through the rehab process and as a future physical therapist who understands the science behind it.
We talk about:
The mental and physical challenges of recovering from multiple ACL injuries
What most athletes get wrong during rehab
How to actually rebuild strength, confidence, and athleticism
The difference between “cleared to play” and truly being ready to perform
What separates athletes who come back stronger from those who don’t
If you’re an athlete dealing with injury—or someone trying to get back to your peak—this episode will give you a real, honest look at what that process actually demands.

We break down what defines each type, the strengths they bring, and the limitations that hold them back. The Zen athlete stays calm and controlled but can lack intensity. The Fragile athlete struggles with consistency, often dealing with setbacks or overthinking. The Meathead brings unmatched intensity and effort but can miss the technical and recovery side of training.

Most importantly, we talk about how to evolve. The goal isn’t to label yourself—it’s to recognize your tendencies and build a more complete approach to training. When you combine intensity, resilience, and control, that’s where real progress happens.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in your training, constantly injured, or unsure why you’re not improving despite working hard, this episode will give you clarity on what needs to change.

Join my free skool: https://www.skool.com/hitman-performance/aboutIn this solo episode, I break down five ideas that have had the biggest impact on how I approach life, coaching, and performance. These aren’t motivational clichés or recycled self-help quotes. They are principles that directly influence how you think, how you act, and how you execute.A lot of people spend their lives thinking about what they want to do. Very few actually do the work required to make it happen. In this discussion, I cover the beliefs and mental frameworks that separate people who stay stuck in their heads from those who actually move forward in the real world.The topics discussed include the role belief plays in success, why action will always beat words, how focusing on the process leads to better outcomes, why procrastination silently kills ambition, and the powerful realization that if something is humanly possible, it means the capability exists within all of us.These ideas apply whether you’re an athlete, coach, entrepreneur, or simply someone trying to improve your life and career. Execution, mindset, and daily habits matter far more than most people realize.Topics covered in this episode:• The obstacle is often your own beliefs• Why actions matter more than words• Process vs outcome thinking• How procrastination quietly destroys ambition• Why human potential is far greater than most people believeIf you enjoy conversations around performance, mindset, exercise science, and athlete development, make sure to subscribe for more episodes.

In this Q&A episode of The Gap, we dive into some of the most important conversations in modern training and performance.

We break down the real differences between online and in-person coaching, including who each model is best for and what actually determines results. Great coaching is less about proximity and more about communication, accountability, and system design.

We also discuss how isometric training can be used for knee pain. From tendon loading to pain modulation, we explain when isometrics make sense, how to program them properly, and where athletes often go wrong when trying to rehab themselves.

Next, we tackle HIIT vs long distance cardio for body composition. Which is better for fat loss? Which supports performance? And how should you choose based on your goals, recovery capacity, and training phase? We break down the physiology and the practical application.

Finally, we talk about the future of strength and conditioning. Where is the industry heading over the next decade? How will technology, data tracking, and individualized programming shape coaching? And what needs to improve if we want better long-term athlete development?

If you’re serious about training, performance, and thinking critically about your approach, this episode will give you clarity and direction.
