We sit down with Conor Cantwell — Associate Director for Sports Performance at William & Mary, working with women's basketball, volleyball, and tennis, and PhD candidate researching heart rate monitoring in collegiate sport — to talk about submaximal fitness testing, aerobic conditioning philosophy, the strength erg as a fatigue tool, and what coaching in Ireland taught him that the US didn't.In this Playbook:Test Fitness Without Wrecking Your Athletes: Four minutes on a treadmill, once a week, in-season. Conor is building a PhD around whether a submaximal test can tell you as much as a VO2 max — without costing you the fatigue budget you don't have. The results might change how you set heart rate zones for every athlete on your roster.You Can't Fire a Cannon from a Canoe: Strength coaches love talking power. Conor loves talking aerobic base. He breaks down exactly how he builds the foundation in summer — MAS runs, bikes, strength ergs — and why recovery between Friday and Sunday games lives or dies on the work you did in July.The Strength Erg Is Not Just Cardio: Thirty seconds on, sixty off, three rounds — and Conor's watching two things: the ceiling and the decay rate. The equipment's new enough that most coaches haven't touched it. He explains the metric, the progression, and why it's quietly one of his best RTP tools too.TeamBuildr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠:Coaches, revolutionise your training programs with their cutting-edge platform.

AK is back — and she came with receipts. AK, S&C Coach at LSU working with volleyball and women's tennis, returns to the show fresh off a summer where her athletes touched 11 feet half an inch and nobody missed a single voluntary session. This one goes everywhere: isometrics, industry pay, gatekeeping, toolboxes, and why your generosity will turn to resentment if you don't get this right.In this Playbook:ISOs Are the Foundation, Not the Finisher: AK builds isometrics into every session, year round — and she's using them as a teaching tool, a recovery tool, and a potentiation tool all at once. She also breaks down exactly what she's seeing in volleyball weight rooms that's blowing up athletes' knees — and it's not what you think.You Can Copy My Program. You Won't Get My Results: AK shares everything — programs, data, sessions posted before they happen. The coaches who gatekeep are the ones who are scared. She explains why openness isn't just generosity, it's confidence.Your Generosity Will Turn to Resentment: The institution was built to outlast you. Young coaches accepting $16K, undercutting each other for $15K football positions, covering 12 sports alone with zero days off from August to December. AK goes in on why knowing your worth isn't a money grab — it's survival.TeamBuildr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠:Coaches, revolutionise your training programs with their cutting-edge platform.

We sit down with Morgan Flaharty — S&C Coach for the Chinese Olympic Wrestling Team, former USA Wrestling national team coach, and a man who got his start being caught sneaking into the weight room as a sophomore — to talk about programming for the most physically demanding combat sport on earth, why strategy drives everything, and what it really means to coach athletes at the highest level.In this Playbook:Caught in the Weight Room: A coach handed a 15-year-old Morgan the NSCA Essentials of Strength and Conditioning after catching him training for wrestling practice. The question it planted — how do you train for strength, power, endurance, and speed all at once without blowing everything up — is still what drives him today.The Rock, Paper, Scissors of Wrestling: Technical beats tactical. Tactical beats physical. Physical beats technical. Morgan's entire programming philosophy flows from one question: what is this athlete's strategy to win? Until you answer that, you're just lifting weights.Athlete-Student vs Student-Athlete: China's state-run push-pull pipeline versus America's self-selection model. Morgan has lived inside both systems. The differences go deeper than training — they change the identity of the athlete entirely.TeamBuildr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠:Coaches, revolutionise your training programs with their cutting-edge platform.

We sit down with Gioele Rossellini — Head S&C Coach for the Slovenia Men's National Volleyball Team (currently top 10 in the world) and Rana Verona in the Italian Superliga — to talk elite volleyball preparation, why field knowledge is as critical as your programming, and what it really means to build a culture that wins.Gioele and Manny are also currently building a Leadership & Performance course together — they get into it towards the end of this episode. Stay tuned.In this Playbook:Build the Foundation Before the Flash: Gioele has a non-negotiable before any athlete touches power work — and it's not what most coaches expect. The 2-metre, 110kg player doing 60kg power cleans tells you everything you need to know about why.Volleyball Is a Roulette of Bodies: Pro athletes who can't run for 10 minutes. Liberos and middle blockers with nothing in common physically. Gioele breaks down why one-size-fits-all programming is a trap in the most heterogeneous team sport on the planet.You Need a PhD in Your Sport: The conditioning that actually matters in volleyball doesn't happen in the gym. But to deliver it on the court, Gioele says you need two things — and most coaches only have one.TeamBuildr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠:Coaches, revolutionise your training programs with their cutting-edge platform.

We sit down with Tucker Bachand — Head Strength & Conditioning Coach at Westfield State University, the first ever to hold the role there — to talk about what it actually takes to build something from scratch, coach 18 teams with no budget and no force plates, and why Division III might be where the most honest coaching is happening.In this Playbook:Buy-In Isn't Built on a Whiteboard: Standards mean nothing if athletes don't care about you first. Tucker's approach to culture starts well before anyone touches a barbell — knowing names, showing up to games, supporting inner murals, having real conversations.Creativity Is the Real Equipment: No force plates. No 150lb dumbbells. A 2,000 square foot weight room with three double-sided racks and 18 teams rotating through. Tucker doesn't complain about it — he engineers around it. Tri-sets, quad-sets, fat grips, bands on dumbbells, jump shrugs when the clean breaks down.The Industry Talks Progressions — Nobody Talks Regressions: When do you go back down? Tucker and Manny dig into one of the most skipped conversations in S&C: knowing when an athlete isn't ready to advance and having the guts to regress them.TeamBuildr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠:Coaches, revolutionise your training programs with their cutting-edge platform.

We sit down with Bree Vaughn — aspiring strength and conditioning coach, University of Louisville student, former football performance intern, and mum — to talk about what it actually takes to stay the course in this industry when life doesn't follow the textbook path.In this Playbook:The Non-Linear Path Is Still a Path: Bree took time away from the field to raise her son. She came back. She's still in the game — studying for her CSCS, training youth and overseas basketball athletes, building her network one real conversation at a time. Internships Will Expose You — Let Them: Unpaid. Long hours. Early mornings and late nights.

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.

We sit down with Mesa McNely — former strength and conditioning coach turned studio manager at Body Rock Lexington, a hybrid reformer Pilates studio — to talk about what happens when you leave elite sport, trust your instincts, and find something even more rewarding on the other side.Note: Mesa was a returning guest — one of the earlier guests on the podcast — and this conversation picks up where the last one left off, with a whole new chapter to dig into.In this Playbook:The Pivot Nobody Plans For: Mesa walked away from S&C — including a stint with the US All Super League — after an experience that left her questioning whether the traditional path was the only one. What she found instead was a reformer Pilates studio, a community of strong women, and a version of coaching that lit her up in ways she didn't expect. Cueing for Real Humans: Forty-five minutes, sixteen people, loud music, a mic, and a machine nobody's ever seen before — that's the proving ground that levelled up Mesa's coaching. She explains how teaching true beginners forced her to strip every cue back to its essence, find metaphors that actually land, and take ownership when someone doesn't get it.Load Management Without the Spreadsheet: Sports science principles don't disappear when you leave the performance setting — they just have to be communicated differently. Mesa shares how she brings load management and nervous system education to clients who are juggling jobs, kids, relationships, and five classes a week, without a whiteboard or a data point in sight. Sometimes all it takes is one honest conversation.TeamBuildr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠:Coaches, revolutionise your training programs with their cutting-edge platform.

We sit down with Michelle Boateng — Assistant Strength Coach at Howard University working with women's soccer, volleyball, softball, and football — to talk about reading the room before you coach it, the injury prevention mindset she carried over from her athletic training roots, and what it meant to be part of the 10th class of the NFL Women's Forum.Since this episode was recorded, Michelle has gone on to join the Washington Commanders. Huge congrats to her — this conversation gives you a great look at the coach behind that move.In this Playbook:Read the Room Before You Coach It: Michelle doesn't start her sessions behind a whiteboard — she starts in the corner, watching. Body language, pace of entry, whether athletes are talking to each other — all of it tells her what kind of coach she needs to be that day. Gamify the Intent: Intent is everything when you're chasing a training adaptation — and Michelle has found that gamification is the fastest path to it. Cat-and-mouse change-of-direction drills for volleyball, in-weight-room competition for soccer, leaning into softball's natural grit to create self-competition.Women Belong in the Room: As part of the 10th class of the NFL Women's Forum — joining coaches, executives, and Roger Goodell at the combine — Michelle came away with a simple but powerful conviction: if you've done the work and you know your stuff, you 100% deserve to be in that room.TeamBuildr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠:Coaches, revolutionise your training programs with their cutting-edge platform.

We sit down with Coach Maddox — Associate Director of Football Sports Performance at USC, former head strength coach at Alcorn State, and director at Valdosta State — to talk about building culture before chasing strategy, programming with and without resources, and why recovery deserves the same aggression as the weight room.In this Playbook:Standard Over Feelings: At USC, the standard is non-negotiable — and it's written on the shirt Coach Maddox wears every day. When athletes walk out of that locker room, the feelings stay behind. Ingenuity is a Muscle: Coach Maddox spent years at the D2 level doing more with less — bands looped over racks instead of Vertimax machines, creative workarounds instead of premium equipment.Graduating Out of the Protocol: Coach Maddox's hamstring asymmetry protocol isn't set-and-forget — it's a weekly testing system with a clear exit threshold. Isometrics first, then eccentrics, then concentric loading, then oscillatory work. Athletes test every week and when the asymmetry drops to under 10%, they graduate.TeamBuildr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠:Coaches, revolutionise your training programs with their cutting-edge platform.

We sit down with John Patrick — Director of Strength and Performance at Seckinger High School (Gwinnett County, Georgia), former collegiate director across 20+ years to talk about building programs from scratch, earning the barbell, and why no free lunch is more than just a saying.In this Playbook:No free lunch: Nothing gets handed out. Not in the weight room, not in the profession. You earn the barbell before you load it, you earn the coaching position before you expect respect, and you earn the results before you expect them.AI is the new "get into computers": Thirty years ago the advice was get into computers. Now it's get into AI. John's already using it to analyse programs and get feedback.Listen to the intern: Early in his career, interns cleaned racks. Now he pulls them into program design meetings, lets them run sessions, and asks them what went well and what didn't.TeamBuildr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠:Coaches, revolutionise your training programs with their cutting-edge platform.

We sit down with three of the most influential minds in sport science — Dr. Mike Stone (ETSU, USOC, Edinburgh), Meg Stone (first female head S&C coach in the US, Scottish national coach, ETSU), and Alex Borges (ETSU PhD, football performance) — for a wide-ranging conversation on the past, present, and future of sport science, coaching education, and what it actually takes to build something that lasts.In this Playbook:Sports science ≠ a dashboard: One of the most urgent critiques in this episode — people are being hired as "directors of sports science" who collect GPS, VBT, and force plate data and build a Power BI dashboard. That is sport technology. It is not sports science. Doc has a four-hour lecture on the difference. The field won't advance until the people doing the hiring understand what they're actually hiring for.Commitment to the greater cause: Build your program around like-minded people or you don't have a program — you have a collection of individuals. Whether it's a university lab, a strength room, or a coaching staff, surrounding yourself with people aligned to the same direction is the hardest thing to do and the most important.

We sit down with Britt Ducroz—private S&C consultant, four-time Olympic cycle coach with Great Britain Diving (Rio, Tokyo, Paris, LA), and former college director—to talk about what it actually takes to make elite athletes 1% better, why the consulting side changes everything, and how to build a coaching eye that no data can replace.In this Playbook:Wringing out a dried cloth: When your athletes have been exposed to everything, percentages stop working. Britt's solution — go deeper into force production. Using VBT beyond just velocity, he tracks rate of force at 100 and 200 milliseconds to find where athletes are losing output, and builds back from there. Power production wins. Force absorption and transfer is the separator.Diving's hidden demands: Everyone talks about the jump. Britt calls it the dessert of an eight-course meal. The real work is entry: athletes are hitting the water at speed, on their hands, in an overhead position — over and over. His approach: heavy investment in shoulder stability, mid-to-lower trap, subscap, cervical-thoracic (CT) spine range, and absorb-and-transfer capacity. If the CT range drops below a certain marker, they're not going off 10 meters. Full stop.The four-year grind: An Olympic cycle isn't a season — it's a career compressed into four years, stair-stepping toward one moment. Britt breaks down the Olympic low (the dopamine crash that hits when the Games close), how he resets between cycles, and why he uses the Olympics to reframe urgency for his college athletes: you get four years. These athletes wait four for one shot.TeamBuildr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠:Coaches, revolutionise your training programs with their cutting-edge platform.

We sit down with Dr. Jackson Morris—Coach Mo, Director of Football Performance at Coastal Carolina University—to talk about what actually builds winning programs: culture, relationships, and the relentless pursuit of excellence both on and off the field.In this Playbook:Four years for the next 40: Mo's mission isn't just rings and diplomas — it's developing leaders. His framework: attitude, discipline, accountability, and love. When every coach, every position staff member, and every athlete speaks the same language, you stop managing individuals and start building a team.Brilliant in the basics: Mo's training philosophy is bastardized conjugate — submaximal, intentional, and sport-specific. His take: a lighter load with great intent beats grinding through a max effort single every time. Best ability is availability. The healthiest team at the end of the year has the best shot at winning.Coach's eye over data collection: Force plates, GPS, and questionnaires all have a place — but Mo's biggest evaluation tool is still watching his guys walk in the door.

We sit down with Raven Chance—Towson University strength & conditioning coach (baseball + football)—to talk about what actually matters when you walk into a program start-of-season: buy-in, auto-regulation, and building systems that keep athletes healthy and confident.In-this-playbookIn-season baseball when you’re the “new coach”: Raven joined Towson right as baseball kicked off—long season, heavy travel, and zero pre-existing trust. Her priority isn’t chasing PRs; it’s getting them through the season healthy, keeping the weight room positive, and earning enough buy-in to still hit meaningful stimuli (heavy/fast, low volume) without scaring guys who “play tomorrow.”Auto-regulation that builds trust (Perch + feedback): With no established percentages and daily fatigue swinging wildly, Raven leans on real-time bar speed feedback to guide loading. The constant external cueing (“blue/gold/red” + beeps) helps athletes understand she’s not guessing—and lets her keep intensity where it needs to be while controlling volume so they stay fresh for games.Simple systems for chaos: group lanes + QB “plus ones”: Raven lays out clear in-season lanes (starting pitchers, low-inning guys, position players/bullpen) so everyone knows the plan—and keeps low-inning guys from “getting greedy” and wrecking themselves with extra volume. On football, she adds short, targeted QB plus-one work (shoulders/T-spine/core/stability) without pulling them away from the main team training, building durability while keeping the foundation general and strong⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TeamBuildr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠:Coaches, revolutionise your training programs with their cutting-edge platform.

We sit down with Bo Sandoval—ex-UFCPI S&C, now Texas A&M (Professor of Practice) + facility design consultant + co-founder of Workbuilt—to talk about what actually moves the needle: execution, integration, and standards.In this Playbook:• Execution is the separator: Bo’s framework: enter → execute → exit. If you can’t control those three, “more load” is just chaos. Positional accuracy governs load (weight, speed, complexity, all of it).• Big critique of the industry:- Mentorship has softened—too little live technical interrogation (“why that exercise, how does it connect?”).- Too few practitioners in real leadership (ADs, directors, presidents). Without practitioner-led governance, performance staff get handcuffed by non-performance decision-makers.• Stop measuring just to measure: assessment doesn’t need lab-level purity, but it must answer: are we on track or drifting? And Bo’s hot nerd point—vertical jump research is massive; horizontal/rotational displacement measurement is the next frontier.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TeamBuildr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠:Coaches, revolutionise your training programs with their cutting-edge platform.

We catch up with Jack Wulhouse—UK-based S&C coach who’s gone from commercial PT → rehab-led performance → UW internship → MSc → University of Warwick S&C—and they get real about what coaching looks like when you don’t have NCAA resources, huge training ages, or unlimited time.In-this-playbook• The “samurai sword” build: Jack’s whole model is boring-on-purpose—stack fundamentals for long enough, then sharpen. Most uni athletes need movement maturity first; performance comes second.• UK uni reality = logistics > gadgets: fewer tools, tighter timetables, mixed squads (men/women, mixed training ages), and athletes who’ve never touched a bar. Coaching is room management + adaptation, not perfect periodisation.• Program = principles + options: push/pull/hinge/knee-dominant balance is the anchor. If they hit the plan, Jack’s fine with “extras” after—as long as he knows what they’re doing.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TeamBuildr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠:Coaches, revolutionise your training programs with their cutting-edge platform.

We sit down with Dom Thomas—former collegiate S&C coach turned Cirque du Soleil performance coach in Las Vegas—to unpack what it really takes to keep 80–90 “artists” show-ready year-round. Think: Olympic-level skill, mixed training ages, and 10 shows a week with almost no true off-season.In-this-playbook• “Artists” are athletes—on insane volume: ~10 shows/week, ~500/year, with only small “dark” windows. Dom treats those breaks like micro off-seasons: push hard → reset → rebuild.• Screen, sort, then individualise: new arrivals go through a simple but scalable battery (step test @ 90 bpm, trap-bar strength targets by act, pull-ups vs hand-release push-ups, multi-plane core). Pass = integrate; borderline = add days + fix the weak links.• Programming for acts, not sports: each show has different demands and injury profiles (e.g., divers/Russian Swing = shoulder + low back exposure; explosive shows = more ankle/foot issues). Dom starts by asking: what breaks most here? then builds the plan around it.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TeamBuildr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠:Coaches, revolutionise your training programs with their cutting-edge platform.

We sits down with Mirek Babiarz—Poland-to-US S&C coach turned gym owner and NSCA Poland chapter lead—to talk real training vs. “movement-only” culture, why conditioning is the most sport-specific quality, and how to build performance systems that actually peak when it matters.In-this-playbook• US vs Europe: “motor prep” to real S&C: Europe’s movement-first bias (soccer culture) vs. US strength culture (football) — and how Mirek sells strength without killing speed, agility, or skill.• Stop making the weight room “sport-specific” and start making conditioning specific: squats are general; conditioning is not. Specific conditioning → general endurance, but 5K fitness doesn’t buy you boxing/rugby readiness. Prioritise repeat sprint/jump/COD capacity (anaerobic repeatability) for team sports.• In-season performance that trends up: when practice intensity drops late-season, gym intensity must rise (volume down, intensity up). Undulate within the week, use the “rule of 10” for heavy work, and adjust the second lift based on game difficulty + minutes played.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TeamBuildr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠:Coaches, revolutionise your training programs with their cutting-edge platform.

We welcomes back Madison Peele—FSU BVB & VB S&C—to talk real-world load monitoring, athlete buy-in, and building a unified performance staff without drowning in data.In-this-playbook• Sports science → decisions, not dashboards: pick a few metrics that matter, track them weekly, and deliver a coach-friendly action plan (not “here’s a spreadsheet, good luck”).• A weekly monitoring rhythm that actually fits practice: jump mat Monday (readiness + intent), prone iso-Nord midweek (hamstring check + asymmetry trends), force plate squat jump Friday (end-of-week concentric output). Green 0–10%, yellow 10–15%, red 15%+.• Programming isn’t one squat for every body: squat variations based on training age, comfort, limb lengths, injury history, and what the athlete actually needs (posture strength, hip loading, robust midsection, sand-specific movement).• Culture + communication = performance: coaches in the room, shared language, real-time feedback, and tight integration with AT + sport psych so issues get caught early—plus the hard part: pulling “kitchen sink” athletes back so adaptation can actually happen.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TeamBuildr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠:Coaches, revolutionise your training programs with their cutting-edge platform.

No fluff, just coaching that works. I sit down with Paudie Roche—former Arsenal & Munster S&C—to cut through tech hype, fads, and social-media hot takes. They get into using AI as an assistant (not a replacement), coaching female athletes the right way, navigating growth & maturation, and the real craft of coaching: tone, buy-in, and adaptability.In-this-playbookFemale athletes ≠ small men: training age, buy-in, and building autonomy without dumbing things down.Growth, maturation & bio-banding that actually changes your week: PHV awareness, late vs. early developers, and selection without bias.AI without the hype: let it crunch trends (VBT, readiness, bandwidths) while you coach the room—mood periodisation, post-game top-ups, and load management up and down.Upcoming Webinar – 7th FebruaryOn the 7th of February, I’ll be speaking at a live webinar hosted by the Italian Strength and Conditioning Society, focusing on leadership and soft skills in high-performance sport.

If you coach jumping sports—or just want cleaner decisions from messy data—this one’s a blueprint.In-this-playbookThe two metrics that matter (MRSI + peak power/body mass) and the 4-quadrant model to flip testing into training decisions.How to run weekly post-practice jump testing (cascade style) without losing a single set—and use it as a primer.Seasonal baselines and athlete buy-in: why off-season jumps can dip (and how to communicate it so athletes stay bought in).Featuring: practical trade-offs (force plates vs. mats/phone apps), readiness vs. performance testing, and adapting across facilities with limited time and space.Upcoming Webinar – 7th FebruaryOn the 7th of February, I’ll be speaking at a live webinar hosted by the Italian Strength and Conditioning Society, focusing on leadership and soft skills in high-performance sport. This session will explore the practical, often overlooked elements of leadership that directly impact athlete buy-in, staff alignment, and performance environments.

Kosta (tactical S&C, based in Italy) went from banged-up high-school hooper to the guy tactical units trust to get strong, stay healthy, and still have a life. He’s blunt about the college grind, ruthless about simplicity, and laser-focused on building careers that don’t burn you out—or your athletes.In-this-playbook:•  Tactical template that adapts itself. Build a 5-day master plan, then strip to 3-day and 2-day versions without losing intent. Color-code sessions for 20/45/60-minute windows (red/blue/black): hit the must-dos when time is tight, expand when you can. Consistency > perfection.•  Auto-regulate like an adult. Program by ranges (think 70–77% RI), push when the bar’s moving, pull when life’s heavy. Swap regressions on the fly (belt squat, front-rack split squat, DB patterns) so training never stalls just because someone hates back squats.•  Be first, then be good. Bridge U.S. coaching savvy with European science; bring basic S&C into sport cultures that never had it. Simple, repeatable work wins—ask the judo kids who stopped getting hurt and started winning.Upcoming Webinar – 7th FebruaryOn the 7th of February, I’ll be speaking at a live webinar hosted by the Italian Strength and Conditioning Society, focusing on leadership and soft skills in high-performance sport.

Dave Snyder (Baylor Basketball) is an athletic trainer with two decades in the trenches—football to hoops—who turns injuries into clear, fast return-to-play plans. He’s a systems guy: objective data, ruthless practicality, and athlete buy-in so players actually stay on the court.steal-this-playbook:• High-performance that works. One team across AT, S&C, nutrition, mental health, and sport science—clear roles, daily touchpoints, and a single goal: keep the wheel spinning.• Triage like a pro. Sort long-term vs. short/mid at intake, then build the roadmap: protect tissue, preserve capacity, and integrate the weight room the moment an athlete is “allowed to sweat.”• Reverse-engineer game day. Start from the tip-off and work backward: dose the day-before load, account for schedule density, and customize for nagging issues—basketball realities, not theory.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TeamBuildr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠:Coaches, revolutionise your training programs with their cutting-edge platform.

Tim Suchomel is an Associate Professor at the University of Pittsburgh and a rare research-meets-weight-room operator—equal parts lab brain and barbell coach. He builds stronger, faster athletes by turning messy training into clean data and making strength science brutally practical.steal-this-playbook:• Weight room = lab. Monitor in real time, adjust in real time. Track sets/reps plus simple outputs (CMJ, RSI) and let the session’s data steer the next block—no ivory tower required.• Pulls for power. Use pulling variations (clean pulls, high pulls, jump shrugs) when catching isn’t the priority; match loading intelligently to get equal—or better—stimulus with fewer technical bottlenecks.• VBT with intent. It’s a tool, not a religion. Lock technique first, then chase the right metric for the exercise and athlete.

Michael “Coach Steg” Stegemoeller is the strength & conditioning coach at the University of Pittsburgh, leading Women’s Lacrosse and Swim & Dive. A former undersized soccer kid turned performance nerd, he built his chops at MJP, Houston, Texas A&M, and Cincinnati—and now engineers teams that hit harder, move faster, and don’t fade.Steal-this-playbook:•  Periodize under constraints. Vertical integration + APRE (6/3) to touch all qualities; front-squat base → box-squat peaking; manage “high” days when the sport staff wants Tue/Thu Olympic-only sessions—keep qualities alive without frying athletes.•  Readiness that actually works. Conversations > gadgets, plus CMJ/RSI twice weekly; if outputs dip or practice smoked them, swap full-ROM for pins/boxes, trim accessories, or chase singles/doubles. Remember: how you feel can lie—let performance set the throttle.•  Culture that travels. Show up at practice, own warm-ups, coordinate with coaches in the open; build enough trust that when it gets dark, they toe the line and keep going.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TeamBuildr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠:Coaches, revolutionise your training programs with their cutting-edge platform.

Rett Larson is an Olympic and pro volleyball S&C coach who turns warm-ups into real training and intent into horsepower. He gamifies everything—measured jumps, landmine throws, reverse treadmill sprints, and sneaky isometrics—so athletes get explosive, durable, and hooked. Creator of No Zombies, he thrives under constraints and builds teams that leave the gym sweaty, smiling, and better.steal-this-playbook:• Warm-up = development block. Games that earn the grind (tag/volley variants → 2–3 min micro-dosed isos), then one tracked jump per lift (weighted block/approach/drop-catch), constraints rotated daily (broad-in, left-only, band-accommodated, <200 ms contacts), pairs/leaderboards so intent stays real.• Constraints > cues (perception–action). Replace cone mazes with spikeball/pickleball/table tennis, copy fencing-style decel, and if you keep ladders, make them leader–follower for rhythm + reactivity. Design the drill so the body learns without the speech.• Shoulders + posterior chain the volleyball way. Straight-arm capacity (ring hangs + L-sits, handstand holds), landmine coiled-core jerks and throws to vertical (heavier if it still hits vertical), plus Bulgarians/RDLs/Nordics and curved-treadmill badges (chasing top km/h) for the other side of the force–velocity curve; early season hides eccentrics/isos in warm-ups, late season skews reactive/play.• Creativity under constraints (and the toolbox tiers). No flywheels? Use BOSU (ball-up adduction squeeze), bands, noodles as “swords,” partner backpedal knees-over-toes starts. Build a living library: explore in warm-ups → promote what works, demote what doesn’t. When the HC says “arm speed,” the next two weeks of warm-ups look like arm speed—med-ball throws, landmines, sprint cues—measured and scored.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TeamBuildr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠:Coaches, revolutionise your training programs with their cutting-edge platform.

Christina Bernal (Penn S&C) sits down for a raw, no-BS deep dive on building buy-in in the Ivy League, coaching rowers and jumpers in the same room, and why the team-around-the-team matters most when athletes get hurt. We get into contrast training you’re probably not using yet, the micro calls she makes between practice and lift, and coaching the human first—data, nuance, and a little Nickelback for good measure.Steal-this-playbook:Contrast beyond “just load.” ROM contrasts, uni ↔ bi, assisted ↔ resisted, pins/quarter squats for sprinters & jumpers, plus how she stacks plyos (POGOs → depth drop to box jump) with cleans—and why heavy lives Monday while neuro-prep and “feel fast” work land late-week.Rowing realities, solved. Long warm-ups after class, CNS “wake-ups,” keeping rib-stress and lat fatigue from nuking the session (trap bar → belt squat/leg press swaps) while protecting water time through daily AT collaboration.Coach’s eye + simple data. Weekly RSI/CMJ to catch midterm dips, Perch for athlete ownership, and the 15–30 minute window she uses to rewrite a lift after watching practice.Culture that sticks. Buy-in without scholarships, pairing leaders & followers on racks, non-negotiable standards (clean the room, raise the bar), coffee check-ins, and using music requests as a sneaky intent switch.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TeamBuildr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠:Coaches, revolutionise your training programs with their cutting-edge platform.
