Topics include MAS-based conditioning, GPS data optimization, soccer's fear of the weight room, how she started her own remote coaching business, and her prototypical route to landing an SEC coaching job. She discusses why soccer has historically been scared of the weight room, how she structures training around squat, hinge, push, and pull for undertrained field athletes, and why she prefers the Bronco test and Maximum Aerobic Speed over traditional conditioning benchmarks.Produced byQ6 Mediahttps://q6.mediaTimestamps:00:00:00 - Introduction00:02:18 - Speaking at the CSCCA Conference00:04:31 - Authenticity in Content Creation & Social Media00:06:24 - Getting a Job by Yelling from the Sidelines00:08:55 - Coaching Acrobatics & Tumbling00:10:43 - Youth Sports, Competitive Cheer & Parenting00:13:58 - Austin FC, NC State & the Move to Auburn00:19:01 - The Power of Mentorship00:23:35 - The Grind in Collegiate S&C00:32:38 - Why Soccer Fears the Weight Room00:42:36 - Starting Higher Power Sports Performance00:49:50 - Conditioning, MAS & the Bronco Test00:57:12 - GPS Data, Player Load & Numbers01:01:45 - Olympic Lifting & Training Goalkeepers01:05:50 - Why Coaches Shouldn't Play Pickup Sports01:23:40 - How to Get Hired in Collegiate S&C01:31:02 - Rant & Rave01:37:34 - Overrated vs. Underrated01:41:50 - Unsolicited Solicited Advice#CoachEmUpPodcast #StrengthAndConditioning #SoccerTraining #CollegiateStrengthCoach #MalorieHenderlong #AuburnSoccer #GPSData #SportPerformance #HigherPowerSportsPerformance #Podcast

This episode is packed with actionable advice for athletes, coaches, and anyone trying to level up their nutrition game.Carbs are performance-enhancing. Full stop. Emily explains why carbohydrate timing, loading strategies, and the right macro balance matter more than the latest social media trend telling you to cut carbs. They dig into glycogen storage, pre- and post-workout nutrition, fructose vs. glucose absorption, gut health, fiber intake, and why under-eating is quietly wrecking more athletes than overeating ever could.They also get real about the mental and emotional side of food — how under-fueled female athletes are afraid of carbs, how food addiction is a real thing, and how peptides may play a role in breaking those cycles. Emily gives out actionable tips to clean up your food choices, hot takes on the nutrition misinformation landscape, and a reminder to stop bouncing between approaches and just commit.Are you subscribed?
