Joining us this week is Dr. Jeff Potteiger, a Professor in the Department of Movement Studies and the Dean of the Graduate School at Grand Valley State University in Allendale, Michigan. Dr. Potteiger discusses his research, and how some of the world's premier athletes' transition out of their sport is often accompanied by health issues. A really interesting talk!

Join us for an inspirational podcast with Mr. Jon Feinman, the founder and Director of InnerCity Weightlifting in Boston, Mass.  Using exercise and sports to promote positive social values is not new - but the courage and vision to directly take on violence and work to reduce violence through weightlifting is incredibly unusual.  Mr. Feinman takes us on a journey from his life as a soccer player to an inner city activist who is working to reduce gang violence through sports and exercise.

This is the audio-only podcast of the 2012 Huffines Discussion Talks.   This week's 2012 Huffines Discussion Scholar is Dr. Noah Dean.  Dr. has built a sizable following on YouTube disproving many of the current fitness gimmicks (such as PowerBalance bracelets and Shake-Weights). This is a great podcast as Dr. Dean talks about  "Avoiding Gimmicks in Health & Fitness: Refusing to Return to the Dark Ages".

Today we are pleased to have Dr. Noah Dean from Texas Lutheran University join us in the podcast today.  Noah has made a mission of exposing and educating the public about quacks and fraudulent health products that are on the market.  This is a fun conversation and greatly needed in today's consumer society. We also talk about Noah's experience as a stuntman on Friday Night Lights.
