In the News
Where Athlete Builder has Been Featured
Athlete Builder and Jim Beebe in the news: television, print and podcast coverage on how champion athletes actually get built. For journalists, event bookers and parents doing their homework. Jim spent 13 years owning a facility and hosts a podcast with 150+ episodes. Here is where the work has been covered.
What the Coverage Has in Common
Every piece here is about the same thing: athletes are built across six blocks, and most programs only coach one. That is the argument Jim has been making on air, in print and on other people's podcasts — as a gym owner, as an author, and as a coach with 50+ athletes on to college rosters. If you are checking whether he is real before you trust him with your kid or your stage, this page is for exactly that.
Where Athlete Builder Has Appeared
Coverage is listed newest first. Each entry gives the outlet, the date, the headline and a link to the original piece, so you can read or watch it at the source rather than take our word for it. Television and print appear alongside podcast interviews, because for the audience Jim serves, a long conversation with the right host reaches more families than a two-minute segment.
All of this coverage was written while Jim owned and operated Unbreakable Athletics Academy, the private strength and performance facility he ran in Plainfield, Indiana from 2013 until he sold it in 2026. The gym is where the system was built. Athlete Builder is where it lives now.
