In fact, I got SO MANY questions from this Q&A podcast that I had to break it up into two separate episodes.
In today’s show, I put 45-minutes on the clock and knock out as many questions as I can get to.
So whether you’re interested in learning more about mobility, speed training for young athletes, or why I charge for my mentorship programs and services, I cover a TON of materials in this quick hitting and informative show.
Let’s dive in!
Quotable Quotes:
The best programs are vertically integrated, but think of them as levers or dials? Not all of them are at a level 10 in every training block
Recovery becomes a real issue if your training sessions are pushing two, two and a half, or three hours every time you’re in the gym
If you find value in something, you’ll find a way to get it done
This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast:
Are topics like flexibility and mobility covered in the Complete Coach Cert?
How do I integrate progression into my programs?

Tips on becoming more empathetic and understanding with your clients/athletes
How I structure speed development sessions with groups of 12-14 year old athletes

How important is it to do an assessment with your clients/athletes?

How I define a “high stim” day

Final (and most heated) question: Why do I charge for my mentorship?
Are you tired of using clunky, antiquated program design tools like Microsoft Word or Excel?
Are you ready to level up your programming, and make it far more engaging to your clients and athletes?
If so, you need to check out Train Heroic.
I’ve been using TrainHeroic for years now both here at RTS and at IFAST, and I can tell you the user experience both as an athlete and coach is truly second to none.
