Tex McQuilkin: Ballin’ on a Budget: Delivering High Quality Sessions with Minimal Equipment

Author: Daniel Braun July 14, 2025 Duration: 55:48
In this episode of the Braun Performance & Rehab Podcast, Dan is joined by Tex McQuilkin to discuss strategies for sports performance professionals to deliver high quality sessions with minimal to no equipment. A visionary in sports leadership and performance development, Tex McQuilkin brings over 15 years of transformative experience as the Founder and Leadership Strategist of Captains & Coaches. His unique methodology bridges the gap between physical excellence and leadership mastery, empowering athletes to become exceptional performers and influential leaders. From youth athletes to elite collegiate competitors and special operations forces, Tex has guided individuals and teams to breakthrough achievements through his signature blend of disciplined training and empathetic mentorship. As a former four-year starter and three-year team captain for Marymount University Men's Lacrosse, he intimately understands the challenges and opportunities that shape athletic leadership.
Armed with a Master's of Science in Health Behavior Change and distinguished credentials as a strength and conditioning specialist, Tex combines cutting-edge performance science with battle-tested leadership principles. His innovative approach has revolutionized how athletes develop both their physical capabilities and leadership acumen, establishing Captains & Coaches as a pioneer in comprehensive athletic development. Beyond his role at Captains & Coaches, Tex remains deeply engaged in leadership psychology and child development research applying each to youth mentorship in his town. His commitment to the lacrosse community continues giving back to the game through coaching middle and high school teams in Austin, where he field-tests and refines the C&C methodology. Coaching across six continents and more than 15 countries, has fostered a deep appreciation for diverse cultural perspectives and artistic traditions and led to passion for travel and connection every chance he can get. When he's not transforming athletes into leaders, you'll find Tex tending to his small-town Texas property, tackling DIY home projects, or keeping vintage cars running. He shares these quiet moments with his faithful companions, Dalton and Pearl, two dogs who've mastered the art of supervision during his endless landscape projects.For more on Tex, be sure to follow @mcquilkin & @captainsandcoaches and check out www.captainsandcoaches.com*SEASON 6 of the Braun Performance & Rehab Podcast is brought to you by Isophit.
