SILAS NEWBY - S&C COACH @ BAYLOR UNIVERSITY #139
from PA CHALK UP · host Manny Silveira
We sit down with Silas Newby — Athletics Performance Coach at Baylor University, working with Equestrian, Track & Field, and Softball, and formerly at West Point — to talk about building athletes from the ground up, programming for sports most coaches never think about, and why the best thing you can do for your athletes is get under the bar yourself.In this Playbook:You Shouldn't Be Able to Tell What Sport They Play: Silas drops one of the best programming principles in the episode early — your S&C program shouldn't reveal the sport. Whether it's equestrian, rugby, or sprinters, the goal is general athletic resilience: load the tissues, develop movement competency, work across multiple planes.Multi-Sport = Better Mover, Full Stop: From RG3 making the 400m hurdles final as a freshman coming off a football season, to equestrian athletes who rode horses and played soccer moving better than those who only ever rode — this conversation keeps coming back to the same truth.If You Haven't Done It, Don't Program It: This one came up from multiple angles — and both Silas and Manny land hard on the same principle. If you're going to ask your athletes to run 300s, you better know what 300s feel like. If you're programming five by five at 85%, get under the bar at 85% first.If You Haven't Done It, Don't Program It: This one came up from multiple angles — and both Silas and Manny land hard on the same principle.
