Rich Take On SportsShow Notes:


Rich Spotlight: John BrenkusVery blessed to be in a position of being recognized as the“Sport Science Guy” when in public after 1,800 segments of Sport Science

Grew up in Vienna, VA and sports became intertwined in his life at an early age because he was drawn in as a fan firstInfluenced by the success of the Washington Redskins, Baltimore Orioles, Washington Bullets

Baseball was his main sport growing up and ran cross-country in high schoolBeing an athlete was not his identity but athletics were a part of his life

Sport Science originated from a show on Discovery Channel called“XMA Extreme Martial Arts” which led to a show,“Fight Science”, on National Geographic

Firmly believes that a person can do anything they CAN not anything they WANTHis wife Lizzie refers to him as Johnny One-Speed because of his ability to either be all-in or all-out

Became focused on being an endurance athlete after a friend ran a marathonContends that his wife Lizzie is even a better endurance athlete than him

Brink of Midnight is the band they formed together after releasing a music video at Christmas in 2014 called“https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_WNQuFgHMo (Christmas is My Favorite Time of Year)“

The band was the inspiration for the Brink of Midnight Podcast as a way to spread positive messages from luminaries from all walks of life about specific moments that changed their livesRay of Hope Foundation is a passion of John’s as it’s mission is dedicated to uplifting those in dire need through sharing personalized videos – “rays of hope” – from the many luminaries and game-changers who support the charity
