When God Winks: Finding Your Purpose Through Sports and Fitness
What happens when an athlete's passion for sports transforms into a mission to develop the next generation? In this captivating conversation, Tyler Disney shares his remarkable journey from college football player to Director of Athletic Performance at Home Field KC, where he's now shaping the athletic futures of over 6,000 young athletes.
Tyler's story begins with a moment of clarity while wearing a hazmat suit cleaning trucks—this wasn't the life he was meant for. After playing football at Pittsburg State and earning his exercise science degree, he found his calling in athletic development through a series of pivotal encounters and what he calls "God winks." Today, he leads a comprehensive sports performance organization that serves athletes across baseball, basketball, volleyball, softball, and football.
Beyond the impressive facilities—which include multiple courts, fields, and even a restaurant—what truly sets Home Field KC apart is their holistic approach to athlete development. Tyler shares their innovative "nutrition fast facts" system that teaches young athletes the crucial difference between "fun foods" and "fuel foods" without creating negative relationships with eating. This blend of physical training and life skills development creates transformational experiences that extend far beyond sports.
The conversation reveals fascinating insights into how Tyler builds community through fitness, including their "108" workout group with its notorious "Skippy jar" punishment wheel (imagine eating 21 pancakes at IHOP as a consequence for missing workouts!). These accountability systems create bonds among athletes while keeping training engaging and meaningful.
With ambitious plans to franchise their model to other cities and a commitment to economic development through strategic partnerships, Home Field KC represents the future of athletic development—where physical performance, nutrition education, and character building combine to create not just better athletes, but better people.

Hello and welcome to the Spandex and Wine podcast. I'm your host, robin Hackney, and I'm so happy that you're here.

I hope you learn a little, laugh a lot and, along the way, know you're not alone on this balanced wellness journey. Ready to jump in? Pour something in your glass that makes you happy, because it's time for spandex and wine. Hey, it's Robin. Welcome back to the podcast.
Speaker 1:I feel like I am always saying how much I love meeting new people on the show, but not all of them are new to me. Some have been friends that I grew up with, some are acquaintances or friend of a friend and, yes, some are total strangers that I randomly reach out to and they are gracious enough to say yes, even though they know nothing about me. But today's guest falls into the I've known him since he was a little boy category. So for all of you empty nesters, I am sure most of you experienced at least a little emptiness when your kids left home, if not a lot. I mean, we all knew it was coming right. What I didn't think about was not being able to see my boys as friends. I always loved when they came over. Well, I guess there's probably one or two occasions where it may not have been so lovely, but all in all, good kids and I really do miss seeing them.
Speaker 1:I have had the pleasure of interviewing a couple of them and today I have a conversation with Tyler Disney, director of Athletic Performance for Home Field KC. Tyler was always one of my favorites to see walk through the door, so genuine and personable and as an athlete his entire life. It is no surprise to me that he is now giving back and shaping the next generation. Take a listen and then go check out homefieldkccom for more info. Here is Tyler. Welcome to the podcast, thank you so?
Speaker 1:much for being here.
Speaker 2:I love that you do it. I was looking at it when you invited me. I didn't realize you were doing it until. Welcome to the podcast. Thank you so much for being here. So you have a lot of really good content on there that's healthy, and you see some content online that's not that healthy and sometimes you do deep dives in that. So it's like junk food versus whole foods and you got a very whole food type of Instagram page, which is great.
Speaker 1:Thank you, and what a great analogy. I love that I haven't even heard that before, so that's wonderful.
Speaker 2:How long have you been doing it?
Speaker 1:I have been. I started it October 2023. Yep, my first episode was on my birthday, so and this is an episode number, I don't know I'll have to look, I think maybe 140.
Speaker 2:Consistent, I love it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah. So it's a lot of fun. I get to meet so many amazing people and I say this to a lot of my guests that one thing that it's taught me is just to be in the moment, because you can't or I guess people some people do, but you can't really have a conversation and not truly listen to the person, right? So it's it's nice to just have this one-on-one time where I can learn more about you and what you do and get word out about all of your services.
Speaker 2:Yeah Well, I'm grateful for you extending the invite. I'm happy to be here.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so what happened after Pitt? You left Pitt, you played football there and then did you go straight to home field.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so Pittsburgh State played football until 2014,. Graduated with an exercise science degree, thinking that I actually was going to be a chiropractor. Graduated with an exercise science degree, thinking that I actually was going to be a chiropractor, and actually so. Bruce Swickard was a mentor, is a mentor and was at that point. He was like, hey, I'd love to show you some stuff. Well, I actually did an internship in Pittsburgh, kansas, and you think you know what you want until you're actually doing the day-to-day stuff and the intern, the, the chiropractor in Pittsburgh was awesome, uh, very nice guy.
Speaker 2:But, like for me, I knew, without really knowing what passion was, you know, outside of football, because that's all I really knew. Um, I knew that my heart, my soul, was not on fire for chiropractic. In that setting, at least, I knew I wanted to be involved in helping people in some capacity. Um, but the chiropractic thing was just, I just was trying to get into it and then when I realized the cost, time and financial costs, I'm like man, I don't know if I want to take that type of leap, being halfway in this thing. So I ended up pivoting a buddy of mine, a roommate of mine in college. He and I actually started our own company for about six months and it was like a part-time job that we were trying to make a full-time job for two people. It was like a part-time job for one person. It was just, you know, 21 years old, out of college, just trying to figure it out.
Speaker 2:It was an automotive consulting which was completely out of my realm of interest or expertise, but I knew that I wanted to do something a little different, like I didn't want to be. I have to be busy, I have to be moving, I have to be active, and I didn't want to be stuck like nine to five and doing something that was just like a job. So that was what I thought was my, my solution to it and quickly realized, like this also is not. I was actually in the middle of it was like a December, wintery, cold day. I'm in a hazmat suit, like spraying down a semi truck, cleaning it out. I'm like what in the world am I doing? I had an epiphany. Like this is not where I belong. I was like, for some people, this is it Great. I just know God did not put me on earth to do this. I need to find something different.
Speaker 2:Um, so I actually ran into uh, who was the GM at the time was Dustin Lewis at Prairie life fitness. That would have been 2015, june of 2015. And he's like hey, we're always looking for certified, educated coaches, apply and we'll have an interview process and go from there. So that got me into the fitness side of things, which then, at that point early on, you and I were doing some stuff a little bit, where I come and do some boot camps once or twice a week for at least a couple of months and that just got me in love with it. And then from there I got in love with more of the business side and was an assistant director, then a fitness director, and then that was all the way up through again. So he and I kind of traveled from place to place and he offered me a job at home field.
Speaker 2:And again it was another like God wink where I was walking I'm like I don't know what to do Like I was talking to God and praying and I stepped off the curb and I've never had like an audible like God moment where he's like this is what you should do. It was just a question that popped in my head when I was 40. The question was where do you see yourself at 40? And immediately my foot hit the pavement. I'm like the answer was home field. It wasn't where I was at that point. So that was what made my decision, which was hard because I was with a lot of people that I was um, working with and hired and work, you know, brought, brought to this next place, and it was front door fitness, which they do an awesome job. Um, it just was. It was. Um, I felt like the next stage for me was to go into more of the sports performance side and grow something from nothing. So, um, giving you the dissertation. I know this is a 30-minute podcast, I'll try to be quick it's fine.
Speaker 2:No, you're good so, anyway, the 20 uh 2021, I think, is when that would have been um 2022 maybe is when I ended up getting to home field and uh, taking taking on a director role so director of sports performance at home field where there were zero people, it was a one baseball team, it was a double-A baseball team called the Blaze and we had a 250,000 square foot building and I just didn't, I didn't know anything from anything at that point. I've learned a lot more about like running a 250,000 square foot building and what that means as far as utilization and who needs to be in there and how to make it profitable, and we're definitely still learning. But, uh, we're now at a point where we went from like 200 athletes in baseball to like 6,000 athletes, where we've got five different sports in baseball basketball, softball, football, um, and then volleyball is the fifth sport there.
Speaker 1:So wow, to grow that fast, that's amazing.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's grown very fast and it's been through acquisitions and mergers and grassroots and, um, you know, we're in a really cool spot. I say we um, uh, in the room currently with Nick Jaley, he's a co-director at home field as well Um, so he and I have like built this and we've hired some coaches on staff that are now grown into leadership roles Caleb Rivera, Sam Cunningham, Drew Burden and Jackson Barnes. Like we've got now six full-time coaches on staff and some seasonal coaches and it's becoming a lot more like a strength and conditioning setting that you'd see at a larger university, where you've got our strength and conditioning in the middle. And then we've got these academies that we go and train a few months out of the year and they're all season. So not all figured out, but we've got a lot figured out in the four years that I've been here.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, it sounds like you're making great progress and I'm just so happy for you. It makes perfect sense to me because you have always been such a good leader and everything that you've done growing up, you know, in all the sports that you were in, you were always in a leadership role, and so that you're able to give back to young athletes now. I think that's incredible and I feel like you probably touch their lives in a way where it's not just on the ball field or on the court or whatever it might be. You probably give them some life skills that they're going to take with them for years. So that's awesome.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and that's, I think, the fulfilling part about being here and we talk a lot about that. We've got weekly, daily, weekly and monthly meetings and part of that monthly meeting is we just go over like a testimonial, like what a coach did on staff that was like impactful for that month, or maybe a couple of coaches did, and then we take time to talk about testimonials that we get from parents and players and that's that's honestly like when we hire the person on staff, like that's if that doesn't fire them up, then they're probably not in the right spot. Like this, this is a you know, three o'clock PM to nine o'clock PM job, monday through Thursday, and then there's Fridays and Saturdays that you're working. So you're working nights. It's a little bit different than your typical nine to five, which careful what you ask for Cause then you'll get um and then in my role, like I'm doing stuff in the morning and some administrative stuff too.
Speaker 2:But the coaching, the meat of it's like on the time that you know at the time that the kids aren't in school.
Speaker 2:So if the, if the feedback from parents and players, like that positive feedback, the transformational stuff, isn't something that lights you up and they're probably not the right person for the job, regardless of the resume. So it's it's intentional that we talk about those things. Like we just had a kid that is transitioning into baseball and he reached out to a couple of coaches, say, hey, just want to let you know, you guys have changed my life, maybe push me to limits that I haven't been to before. I appreciate you guys for everything that you've done, and he's getting ready to go to college here in summer. So it's kind of like a farewell. But like those little things that maybe can be overseen If you're not like engaged in that conversation, you just kind of get, you move on and you're just in the right wheel. But it's good to take time and hit pause and say, okay, well, 6,000 kids maybe 20% of them at least that we can impact, like that's more than what we'd have otherwise. So it's definitely a platform that we don't take for granted.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's great. That's great, and you've been an athlete your whole life. So talk to me about the progression that you have seen since you were in, let's just say, high school. Then you were, you played college in football. How that?
Speaker 2:the training has changed and now what you see in athletes. I think, um, being in blue Valley system was beneficial, like I went to. So I went to Pitt State, as we already mentioned, and there were a handful of kids that I played with that were division two pretty high level athletes that never saw a weight room. Blue Valley did a really good job of introducing you to it and the coaches on staff like went to seminars and some of them got certified. It's becoming more and more of a thing. Now I've got more buddies that are coaches and strength and conditioning coaches, but also like a football coach, um, and it's become they're, they're becoming more. It's. The standard is more um, uh of like get a certification If you're going to be a coach, and the teaching and the coaching is more standardized than it used to be, I think, even when we were in high school, which would have been 2010,. Um, every year it seems like there's more and more information that comes out.
Speaker 2:I think, as you know, the fitness world is can be really confusing, um, I know you recently had something on there about kids protein too much. Are you like some? Sometimes there's if that's an example of like people on line demonizing something that feels like a really good thing. It could be a bad thing. Do I eat too much? Do I eat too little? Do I not eat at all? It's like all these things. So, um, same thing with strength and conditioning. There's a lot of nuances in it and if you get caught in the weeds, it feels, it feels stuck. You feel stuck, it feels hard to know, like what to do and where to go.
Speaker 2:So we want to keep it really simple. I mean, we're training as young as four-year-olds all the way up to, you know, honestly, 80-year-olds. Our meat and potatoes is like eight to 18. But you're going to talk to an eight-year-old about nutrition differently than you're going to talk to an 18-year-old, differently than you're going to talk to a 28-year-old. So we have what's called nutrition fast facts At the end of each. We have three movements. At the end of each 20 minute movement, a coach brings the team together, the group together, and we'll talk about whatever that nutrition fastback.
Speaker 2:So yesterday's, for instance, was what to be eating after you get done training, practicing or playing. So we want to have protein and a carbohydrate. So what's an example of a protein that you know? And then, if you get blank stairs, which you typically do for the first time with a bunch of eight-year-old kids. You say and give me some animal meats, those are some proteins, and then they'll start rattling off and they get involved.
Speaker 2:And then carbohydrates what are some carbohydrates? Start with fruits and veggies and then they start throwing that out. So you just it's like Chinese water torture. They'll get that three times in one hour and they start to hopefully absorb some of that. And it's cool to see some of these kids that have been trained with us for a while. You know, after a couple of months you'll ask these we have about 30 fast facts, um, so they'll recycle them a couple of times and they know like immediately what these are. And that's the goal is like not to overwhelm them with all the information, but give them some basic nutrition skills that way they can take it and move on, you know, outside of a home field.
Speaker 1:Yes, that's awesome, Cause I feel like so many athletes feel like they need to just, you know, put on weight and they'll just eat whatever they want or have all the you know sugary drinks and monster drinks and things like that, and oh my gosh, it's just crazy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we get. You know, volleyball players, for whatever reason, they are obsessed with Celsius. So they're always asking can I have Celsius? It's like you can have whatever you want. There's no good food. There's nothing, nothing inherently good or bad about food or drink. But understand, there is fun and there is fuel. Fun Oreos and Celsius would be in that 20% category. Fuel would be your whole foods. That would be in the 80% category. And you know, of course we don't have control outside of these walls as much as we'd like. But you know well, inevitably we'll see a Celsius come through and like the girls are starting to hide us. That don't hide it from us. Like it is, that's a fun food. Have a fun food and then just make sure you're getting your fuel. So it's trying to trying to keep it light around the nutrition. You don't want to create any um, some negative feelings around food or drink.
Speaker 1:But absolutely, absolutely. Yeah, and you mentioned older adults, so do you do personal training or group fitness classes for people that aren't athletes?
Speaker 2:Yeah, so that's part of our coaches on staff are certified. Most of them, or all of them, are certified through what's called a CSCS, which is your collegiate strength and conditioning specialist, and that's going to be predominantly for, like I mentioned, the bulk of what we do, uh, youth and high school, college and pro athletes. But with that, um, human movement is human movement, whether you're training for sport or training for life, coaches are certified for for one-on-one adult clientele. So, outside of our coaching hours, which is three o'clock to eight o'clock or nine o'clock depending on the season, um, we will train in the mornings and afternoons, uh, our adult clientele, and we've got like a small group right now. Um, most of it is like from our own adult employees that are training, but it's Wednesdays and Fridays at noon.
Speaker 2:But open to if you want to spread the word, open to expanding that out more in the mornings I know there's a couple of books that are interested in doing some morning stuff as well. So definitely open to that. It's just hard to advertise that demographic. It's hard to advertise to that demographic even though they're in here, they come in home field and it's got baseball, it's got turf and free weights and a bathroom but no showers, and it's just doesn't have the same type of amenities that you'd see, maybe, at a commercial setting. But the training in and of itself we've got 20,000 square feet and every tool that you can think of and, um, like I said, the most important thing is the coaches, and the coaches are equipped to handle, you know, the adult clientele for sure.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, I've seen pictures and reels and your facility looks amazing. Where are you guys located?
Speaker 2:We've got two locations now. So we've got our Olathe locations. Off of 119th and Strangline. There is a big old Bass Pro shop right off of I-35. It's just next to that, or it's really right next to that furniture mall. And then we just built a brand new facility in KCK right off of 90th and State Avenue, so you can literally see the Speedway about a mile west of where we are, and that facility is really cool too.
Speaker 2:I'm not sure if you've seen pictures, but we've got 10 basketball courts that can be converted to 12 volleyball courts and we'll run tournaments, practices. I mentioned our academy athletes. We've got about 400 volleyball players I think I might be plus or minus some and then we've got um. So mokan basketball has just merged with home field, which mokan is like the top program in the country, not just locally. I know we just got I just got off the phone with matt suther who's the owner of Mo Can Nisa. I think they're projecting 55 youth teams this year. So we need the space to facilitate practices and training and then also we'll run tournaments there and our space is about 8,000 square feet in that facility. We've got a full restaurant inside called the experience, which is really just it's upscale. Bar food is the best way, I think, to put it OK like a yard house would be a very comparable menu.
Speaker 2:So really good food, quality food. And then outside of the facility we have a baseball or lacrosse field that you can do some, some, some stuff on uh, some turf, so that's one piece of it. And then, uh, next to that, about a half mile down the road, we've got eight synthetic baseball fields uh, so turf baseball fields, so we'll run baseball tournaments out there. Um, very cool, we've got building champions. Baseball is a part of home field. Uh, there was a. It was a couple years ago. We acquired them. So that's another 500 kids right there in the BC side. So lots of kids, lots of space. A pretty complicated business, but I think we've got the right people and leadership roles to direct it.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's so cool, and it sounds like you have plenty of room for cornhole.
Speaker 2:You should have some cornhole tournaments. You and Dave are in a league, aren't you?
Speaker 1:Oh, we play all over. Yes, we love it.
Speaker 2:We used to do a cornhole tournament and one of our. We had two facilities in Olathe that we've since condensed into just one, but we used to do I can't remember who. I have to reach out to the person that ran that. So Chris Obermeyer was his director of food and Bev. He would definitely know, but I'm shocked that we didn't see you out there. It was talk about competitive, holy smokes.
Speaker 1:I know it is. People don't realize. Yeah, yeah, it's a lot of fun. Well, I love again like that you're doing this. I don't know if you saw the episode or listen to the episode with Jake Griggs. I've talked to Jake, yeah, yeah, oh, my gosh, and I love what he's doing too different than you, but I love how he's going about his fitness business, um, and I'm hoping that I can get Anthony. I need to reach out to Anthony too.
Speaker 2:So Anthony, he and Kirstie just opened up there. I guess they're opening it up at the end of this month, so it'd be a good time to reach out. Alfred, I think, is the name of their studio, so he'd be great. And then Jake, yeah, it was fun to talk to. I got maybe a year ago is when I was talking to him. He reached out and very much like you, like just wants to learn and wants to provide, you know, good stuff to other people. And he was just asking questions on like what was the route, like what do you? What's the best way to reach these people? And he had an idea already.
Speaker 2:But I think what's great about Jake and you and others in this same field is like you know what you know, but you're also willing to learn what other people have done and take it and take pieces of it and expand on it. Jake's done a really good job. I've seen his videos and it's a lot like your page where he just wants to build community. And I think, as you get older and I've seen this on your page too it's like well, what do you do when you're in your forties? What do you do in your fifties? It's harder to make friends when you get older. It's not impossible, but it is harder. So, finding a group of people and they don't always have to be like-minded, but people that have some shared values um, that I think that's, that's the sweet spot. We've actually found that here We've got a workout group.
Speaker 2:It's called one oh eight. We just uh, it's like a tee time. We train at one oh eight, roughly plus or minus a few minutes, but there's about 10 or 15 of us that show up on a regular basis and, um, there's a lot of accountability there. Like, we work out for an hour, um hour and a half, and we play some spike ball a couple of times per week and that's kind of our cornhole escape, um, or competitive escape.
Speaker 2:And if you miss a workout, you put your name on a sheet and you put your name in the Skippy jar, like literally a peanut butter Skippy jar, and at the end of the training block you pull it out and if your name gets picked, there's a wheel of punishment and you spin it, so like, for instance, our buddy Blake ended up getting picked and he's got um at one point. This is pretty brutal. He got a 24 hours in an IHOP so he had to sit in an IHOP and every pancake he ate was one hour off of his 24 hour limit. He ended up getting out of there in like 22 hours or in three hours. So he ended up eating 22 or 21 pancakes and oh my gosh.
Speaker 2:So that was a little bit more aggressive. But yes, accountability. There is the most recent one. You did like some gator rolls, so he's rolling 30 yards down on his stomach and rolls 30 yards back. So it all changes. But the point is like if you commit to three days per week of training or four days or five days, we are going to hold you accountable and we're all going to keep ourselves accountable too. So I think that's what Jake's doing, coming full circle. I think he's doing a really good job with that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, that's awesome. I love all of it. So how can the listeners find you?
Speaker 2:Um, I am. So. A couple of years ago I started getting more involved in social media. Um, whether you like social media, don't like social media, you have to accept that that is a way to to get ahold of people, and I'm on Instagram mainly so. My handle is Ty, underscore Disney. I will put. I'll put a couple of posts a week, I'll put stuff on stories daily. Nutrition will be on there, training will be on there. So that would be the best way. I do have a Twitter, but I'm not on it very actively, not enough to know exactly even what it is. My Twitter handle is, but mainly Instagram, at tight underscore Disney.
Speaker 1:Okay, okay, and I'm assuming home field has their own social media.
Speaker 2:Yep, so I help manage our own department social media accounts. That's at home field, kansas city, and we'll have a lot, a ton of content. As far as um, what we're doing, you know daily, weekly, monthly, but informational types of things, and also like we have camps this summer for baseball and softball. You can find some camps if your son or daughter was interested in doing some stuff.
Speaker 1:So okay, okay. And just one more question. So are you just in in Kansas city or are you? Have you expanded?
Speaker 2:currently in Kansas city only, but I think the three to five year goal is to franchise it and expand out to other parts of the country. So Chicago I know we've had conversations with Chicago, um, I think, east coast, west coast, eventually, with a lot of these brands being locally recognized, I think it's important we nail it down first here, but there's also, like the Mocan name, for instance, is more of a nationally recognized name. I think as we continue to get bigger and have more brand recognition, it will be more enticing for other cities to then look at expanding, having a home field inside their city, something that's unique and I don't know how, if your listeners even care to hear about how this happens. But Starbonds is really a pivotal piece of this. So Starbonds is basically a tax-incentivized program. The way the Speedway was built, the way that um legends area, so sporting cities building, was built, as the same way home field kck was built.
Speaker 2:So we are involved with the kansas city, kansas, um, you know, and this is the, the city and the state, and basically we have to. Our goal is to present something to that area and guarantee that we're going to have other taxpayer dollars come through. So having I tell you all of this because we need to have more. It's more than strength and conditioning. It's basically it's a whole campus that we are trying to draw people towards. That's where you get the football or the baseball facility and the softball facility. That's where you get the basketball tournaments and volleyball tournaments. We're getting people outside of just that local area and even outside of Kansas and Missouri to come to these tournaments, hopefully spend some money on food and beverage and entertainment and build what's what's really becoming more of a district in that KCK area.
Speaker 2:And I think, outside of just the impact on these kids, like having an impact on the city and the state is a really cool thing. I've, as you know, born and raised in Stilwell, kansas, like this is home to me, so expanding out to other cities seems cool and it is fun. But I think being able to bring something to the state and allow people to see our state and our cities, I think that's a really cool thing. So we're doing that on a pretty large scale and it's continuing to get bigger. Like we just had a combine recently uh, just a couple of weeks ago and I'm calling some people from Florida. Uh, I think I had a phone call from Hawaii. Um, I had another phone call from California, so let me literally all over the country People are coming to to experience a home field.
Speaker 1:Oh, so wonderful to see Tyler and share that time with him. Unfortunately, my internet cut out so we kind of ended abruptly, so I'm sorry for that. I hope, if you have a young athlete, that you will check out home field Casey, trust me when I say he or she will be in good hands with Tyler, and I'm sure all the other coaches and staff as well. You can check them out at homefieldkccom. And a big thank you and a little hug to Tyler for being a guest today. Thank you for listening.
