Ep03 - Why All Coaches Should Side Quest

In this episode, we explore why coaches should intentionally take on “side quests” as part of their professional development. We break down how stepping outside your main role can sharpen skills, reveal blind spots, and accelerate growth when done with purpose. We also reflect on our own experiences with side quests and how to approach them intentionally so they actually translate into better coaching. Timestamp:00:33 Reflecting on Side Quests02:00 Defining Side Quests in Training04:41 Exploring Plyometrics and Sprinting09:40 Coaching Strategies for Plyometrics14:49 The Impact of CrossFit on Training Perspectives23:35 Endurance Training as a Side Quest1:35 The Journey of Hand Balancing42:35 Collaborative Side Quest: Old Time Lifts
