After a brief run down of how he got up to Buffalo Sleeve starts discussing the role of perspective, and how taking a walk in a different direction opened his eyes to looking at things a bit differently. This leads us into a discussion of biases, including where they come from and how they can be both good and bad. After he gets me on a good rant we then get into the reductionist lens that coaches use, and how this could be a huge limiting factor to our profession moving forward. This includes a discussion about programming and having someone audit your work who has a different background and the role of hiring to bring a different point of view to help people be better. This talk is full of great learning situations and times that have impacted both of us to help us become the coaches we are today, some positive, some negative, but all led to progress. We are hoping to provide the best possible content for strength coaches with each of our shows.
