In 2023, elite cyclist Jeff Seckendorf came on the show to share his quest to break the national velodrome hour record in the 70-74 age group. His goal was set, his training dialed, his eye was on the prize. But as so often happens in sports, and in life, deep into training he came to a staggering realization that lead to a massive pivot that you have to hear to believe.

If you’re interested in learning more about Jeff’s original goal, listen to his first visit to the show in an episode that was re-released on August 10, 2025.

Jeff completed his ride in support of Parkinson’s Association of San Diego. If you would like to learn more or make a donation in his honor, visit Parkinson's Association of San Diego.

Today's episode originally dropped in December of 2023 and we are releasing it again now for a very exciting reason. When Jeff Seckendorf and Sasha orignally spoke, he was training for an attempt at breaking the national velodrome hour record in the 70-74 age group. At the time, Jeff promised to come back after his attempt to share how it went, and he did! We will release our follow-up episode with Jeff tomorrow, but wanted to give you the chance to revisit the original episode before Jeff's triumphant return to the show tomorrow. Enjoy!

Jeff Seckendorf doesn’t seem to have met a lot of sports where he didn’t excel. His experiences range from land (ice climbing) to sea (scuba diving) to air (aerobatic flying) and have culminated in his current passion, the velodrome, where he rides his fixed gear, brake-less bike really, really fast. Jeff currently holds the hour record at the San Diego Velodrome and is now training for an attempt at breaking the national hour record in the 70-74 age group in 2025. In this episode he explains the appeal of this brutal race, how he stays motivated day in and day out, and how to find the fun in the every day.

In this week’s episode of Sports Will Save Us All, host Sasha Graham sits down with legendary strength coach Clance Laylor — the man behind elite athletes like hockey phenom P.K. Subban and national weightlifting champ Maya Laylor. But this isn’t just about PRs and podiums. It’s about resilience, routine, and raising the bar — in sport and in life.

Coach Clance opens up about his journey from Olympic hopeful to world-class coach after a career-ending injury changed everything. He shares hard-earned wisdom from over 30 years in the trenches: why young athletes are falling behind in basic preparation, how to navigate the noise of online training advice, and the non-negotiable habits that build greatness.

Whether you're an athlete, parent, coach, or just someone trying to understand what real mentorship looks like, this conversation is a masterclass in discipline, purpose, and human potential.
