Frequently Asked Questions:


1. What is the main focus of "Enhance or Destroy Your Athletic Career"?

This book delves into the unique challenges faced by athletes in managing relationships while striving for sporting excellence. It emphasizes that athletes are not "normal" due to their demanding lifestyles and explores how various relationships, including those with family, friends, and romantic partners, can either bolster or hinder their careers.

2. Why are personal relationships often difficult for athletes?

The demanding nature of an athlete's life requires immense dedication, discipline, and time commitment, leaving limited space for cultivating and maintaining personal relationships. The constant pressure to perform, strict training regimens, and frequent travel create an isolated world that few outside the realm of professional sports can truly grasp.

3. Is it true that athletes need to be selfish?

The book argues that a certain level of "selfishness" is crucial for athletes to succeed. Their relentless pursuit of excellence requires prioritizing their training, nutrition, and recovery above all else. This often means making difficult choices that can disappoint or alienate loved ones. However, this "selfishness" is not inherently negative; it's a coping mechanism for managing the intense demands of their careers.

4. How can friendships and relationships negatively impact an athlete’s career?

Toxic friendships and relationships can derail an athlete's career through various means. They may introduce distractions, encourage unhealthy behaviors like partying or substance abuse, create emotional turmoil, or exploit the athlete's fame and fortune for their own gain. The book advises athletes to be discerning about their friendships, prioritizing those who offer genuine support and understanding.

5. What role does family play in an athlete’s journey?

Family can play a powerful role, both positive and negative, in an athlete's life. While supportive family members can offer love, encouragement, and stability, others may inadvertently hinder the athlete's progress through excessive pressure, unrealistic expectations, or financial demands. The book stresses the importance of setting boundaries with family to safeguard the athlete's emotional well-being and career aspirations.

6. What are the challenges of dating or being married to an athlete?

Dating or being married to an athlete presents significant challenges. The athlete's demanding schedule, frequent travel, and intense focus on their sport can strain relationships. Partners often need to be exceptionally understanding, adaptable, and independent. The book highlights the importance of open communication, clear expectations, and mutual respect in navigating these unique dynamics.

7. How can athletes protect themselves from harmful relationships?

The book advises athletes to be vigilant in recognizing and avoiding individuals who may seek to exploit their status for personal gain. They should be cautious of gold diggers, opportunists, and those who encourage harmful behaviors. It's crucial to establish clear boundaries, prioritize their own well-being, and surround themselves with a supportive network of trusted individuals.

8. What is the "people trap" and how can athletes avoid it?

The "people trap" refers to the potential for negative relationships to ensnare and ultimately derail an athlete's career. To avoid this, athletes must be highly selective about the people they allow into their lives, prioritizing those who offer genuine support, understanding, and encouragement while minimizing contact with those who drain their energy or pose a threat to their well-being.

Dr. Ferguson has also been published in peer reviewed journals and his motivational speaking and coaching advice can be easily found on his internet show “Coffee With Rhadi” which is a spinoff from his book “Coffee with Rhadi: Herculean Conversations with an Olympian (and some other things that you think about from time to time...)”

In 2013 Dr. Ferguson was selected as 1 of the top 100 Mixed Martial Arts trainers in the world by UFC Fit Magazine. In 2006 he was awarded the USA Judo Coach of the Year Award and that same year he was nominated for the top sports science award issued by the United States Olympic Committee (USOC), the Doc Counsilman Award.

Personally, Dr. Ferguson is a “judo parent” of two lovely children and while he coaches them, he still understands and goes through the hardships of being a “judo parent.” Both of his children have been ranked nationally as well as held the #1 ranking spot in the United States in the respective weight classes.

At the end of the day, Dr. Ferguson likes to say that he is “…just a coach and a mentor – nothing more, nothing less.” But the truth is, he is a highly sought out and recognized High Performance Enhancement Specialist centered in education, business and sport. Utilizing his proven background as an Olympian and lecturing motivator to course correct systems, create, modify and engineer curriculum initiatives and construct strategic framework toward improving performance and elevating desired outcomes.

Dr. Ferguson resides in Tampa, Florida and is the proud father two children, Rufus (18) and daughter Rhadi Isabelle (14). Both of whom are former Junior National Judo Champions.
