40: Fire Academy Strength Prep: What You Actually Need (and the Mistakes That Get Candidates Hurt)

 Preparing for the fire academy? Strength matters — but not in the way most candidates think. In this episode, Coach Eve explains what “strong enough” really means for firefighting, how academy requirements vary by department, and the common training mistakes that lead to injuries. Learn how to prepare safely with functional strength, conditioning, mobility, and a simple academy prep checklist. Let's Connect!
