The Surrounded by Valor Podcast: Recent Episodes
Mary Eggers
I have been working with an incredible sports Psychologist, Dr. Cypher from the University of Rochester. He recently recommended a book to me called The Confident Mind, by Dr. Nate Zinsser.
I like this book because it has simple, actionable tasks that we can all implement into our daily lives, to help us grow and move towards our goals. Today we will talk about the E-S-P exercise.
Let's commit to this exercise for the next week, and see where it lands us!
Thank you for listening!

We are back! It's been start and stop for us, but we should be back for good! This week a little life update, some things I have been working on, the two things I don't buy as a coach, and a great listener question.
In this episode I mention the new UR Fitness Science Center. Definitely check it out if you are local!
This episode is a conversation between my longtime friend Kara Klassez, and I. Kara is one of the most inspirational women I know. She's an entrepreneur, nail technician, athlete, group fitness instructor, and so much more. What many people don't know, is that she's struggled with alcohol, and has found new meaning in recovery. Listen in to hear an amazing story.
Welcome to season 3! Today, let's talk about what everyone yet no one wants to talk about, grief. In this episode I share some thoughts on what has helped me navigate the world since my Dad died.
I love swimming. I grew up a swimmer. I will always be a swimmer. In this episode I outline a few things you can try to help you improve your own swimming!
Welcome to Season 2 of the Surrounded by Valor Podcast! After a brief hiatus we are back and ready to roll! Today, it's just me with a quick chat about looking forward.

Today I answer listener questions involving: continuous glucose monitors for training, Whoop straps, oura rings, how I got into coaching and the question I am asked almost daily: breast reduction!
Cancer led Laura to a dark place over 20 years ago. Multisport, specifically the community of it, saved her life. In this episode we discuss how multisport truly is the land of misfit toys and how working through trauma has led so many here. We talk about the future of Rochester Multisport, her unfinished business with Ironman, and so much more. We went deep here. If you've ever needed to know you aren't alone in your struggles, we hope that we demonstrate that we are all on the same team.
Each week I publish a quick episode for the 5 incredible women I get to coach. Feel free to listen, if you get something out of this, awesome!
In this conversation I had a conversation with Mike Smith, president of the Rochester Area Triathletes (RATS). We discussed the ROC Tri as the NYS Championships, the current state of the RATS, what RATS offers, and the future of the club.
Note: I recorded this episode the same day I recorded Bert's, and that was the day I became aware of my "Yeah" and "Right" issue! I will work on improving that issue in the next episode!
This conversation is with Bert Gallmon, founder of Wolfpack Multisport. We talked about everything from why would anyone want to be a race director, things he wishes athletes knew about directing, the incredible community we have here in Rochester, and why multisport is growing!
Note: While listening to this, I became aware of how many times I say "Yeah" and "right" which works well in normal conversation, but can be VERY annoying to listen to on a podcast! I will work to improve this in the future!
We are back with another Nurses' Voices episode. Our goal with this series is to give Nurses a place to share their stories. Not to tear one another down. As a healthcare community, we hope to start the dialogue, of how to make things right. But to understand where we need to go, we need to share where we have been.
This is an episode for my Valor Triathlon Project athletes, feel free to listen along!
In this episode I reference a great podcast to listen to this week:
The Huberman Lab Podcast on Nutrition and Supplementation. Click here.
This is an episode for the athletes I coach, feel free to listen. I normally send them a group email on Sundays with some tips and tricks, but thought it might be fun to hear it instead of read it.
In this episode I reference Jason Koop's most recent podcast on mental skills:

If I could speak to the nurse who took care of my Dad the day he died, this is what I would say.
