#112 - It all comes down to winning - Cameron Davidson

In this episode, I sit down with someone I consider to be a mentor of mine - a person who was a massive influence on me as a coach early on in my career, from the way he carried himself in the weight room to the professional curiosity he approached his work.  Cam Davidson’s resume speaks for itself at this point.Cam is in his 4th year as the director of strength and conditioning at Colorado College. Previously, he spent 13 years as a strength coach at Penn State. In that time, his teams combined for a total of 10 national championships, and over 20 conference championships. He was also the director of strength and conditioning at the College of Charleston, and an assistant at Clemson University and Marshall University prior to Penn State. Cam has been a competitor in many sports over the years, including powerlifting (national champion in 1999), wrestling (University of Wyoming), Weightlifting (national competitor and 4x PA state games champion), and currently competes as a blue belt in jiu jitsu (2x 3rd place Denver Open (in weight class and absolute division). Cam is also the owner and head coach for his online coaching business, Davidson Trained. We discuss:Cam’s journey from collegiate athlete to strength coachLessons learned along the wayThe major paradigm shifts and what led to themWhat is the goal of an S&C program in college?Detaching from modalities and focusing on winningWorking with Olympic throwersCan you be too strong?Putting ego aside as a coachUsing sport science to make educated decisions in training and on the field of playCoaching a team while also coaching the individualWhat loss haunts him to this day?What win is the most meaningful?Cam’s Billboard MessageLaunching Davidson TrainedFind Cam:Website - www.davidsontrained.comInstagram - @Davidsontrained, @camdavidsonbjj Facebook - Cam Davidson__________Paul's singular goal is to raise the bar for coaching.
