"Make It Make Sense Podcast – Creating Your Environment for Lasting Change"

Yo yo yo, what’s going on PHamily? Coach Frank is back with another raw and real episode of the Make It Make Sense Podcast. Today we’re diving into something that makes or breaks every fitness journey: your environment.

I take you behind the scenes of my own story—from my mom throwing me into Pop Warner football without notice, to becoming a diehard 49ers fan, to overcoming depression after a life-changing car accident. More importantly, I break down how mental shifts and your circle of influence determine whether you win or fall short in life and fitness.

This episode isn’t just about football or training—it’s about understanding why “losing weight” isn’t a real goal unless it’s tied to a deeper honest motivation. I share how friends, family, and even random cashiers became part of my environment that kept me locked in, focused, and accountable when chasing my pro card.

If you’ve been struggling to stay consistent, this episode will show you exactly how to build an environment that supports your growth instead of holding you back.

💡 Remember: Your body won’t go where your mind doesn’t lead.

In this episode of Make It Make Sense: Understanding Your Fitness Journey, Coach Frank takes you on a wild ride through one of the most breathtaking hikes in America — the Havasupai Falls trail. From 10 miles of sandy switchbacks to jaw-dropping aqua-blue waterfalls, I’m sharing exactly what it’s like, what I wish I knew before going, and the training program we used to crush it.

But this isn’t just about hiking. I’m connecting the trail back to your fitness journey — how your environment doesn’t dictate your success, your mindset and consistency do. Whether you’re at home, at work, or halfway across the country, the key is YOU.

You’ll learn:

• How to prep physically for a challenging hike (weighted vests, progressive training, and more)
• Essential gear tips to save your feet, joints, and sanity
• Why your schedule, not your surroundings, is the real fitness game-changer
• How “time under tension” in the gym applies to life and long-term results

If you’ve ever felt like your goals fall apart when life changes, this one will flip that script.

Remember leaving an amusement park thinking, “Dang, we never made it on the best ride!”
That same “shoulda-coulda” hangover wrecks most fitness journeys. In this raw solo episode, Coach Frank Hamilton dismantles the low-bar theory—the habit of setting laughably small standards and then wondering why results never show.

Frank pulls back the curtain on:

• The Amusement Park Effect: how aimless wandering in the gym mimics ride-line chaos.
• Bad-Trainer Bingo: spotting coaches who hand out gimmicks instead of science.
• Mind • Emotion • Body alignment: why identity (“Big J” vs. future shredded-you) must shift first.
• Real muscle math: time-under-tension, calories, and why you can’t “buy” gains with pre-workout.
• Environment over excuses: turning friends, family—even eight-year-olds with Halloween candy—into accountability checkpoints.

If you’ve ever been told “that’ll never work for your body type,” this episode is the permission slip—and the tough-love blueprint—to prove them wrong. Keep the bar high, keep grinding, or be nothing.
