Coaches Versus Influencers

My friend it has been a CRAZY couple of weeks.

Short week last week with the holiday.

Short week THIS WEEK because I’m speaking at Andy and Luka’s Built to Last gym mastermind here in Nashville.

And believe it or not I was actually supposed to go out of town last week to onboard a new athlete, but he unfortunately got hurt – so I do get a little bit of a break.

So needless to say there’s been a lot going on, and that’s why I opted for a super duper mash-up episode for this week.

As I was prepping the show notes I was reminded of how many great guests I’ve had on lately, so I really hope you enjoy it!

This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast:

• Courtney Delks on the questions to ask yourself and be intentional every day
• Brady Howe on the various practitioners who can help with mental health and wellness
• Joel Smith on the benefits of a mixed-methods approach to jump training
• Erica Mulholland on fueling strategies for young female athletes
• Christina Chu on supplements you should probably save your money on
• Andy McCloy on hiring people and building culture
• Jim Stoppani on caffeine intake and pre-workout supplements
• Ken Vick on the differences between shocks and springs
• Dr. John Rusin on the difference between coaches and fitness “influencers”
• Dave Gleason on why young athletes should sample many sports growing up

Level Up Your Exercise Selection and Technique with Whatsthatstrap!

Are you looking for ways to coach more effectively while cuing less?

Or getting your clients and athletes into the right position WITHOUT overwhelming them with 35 cues every set?

If so, you need to check out Whatsthatstrap!

What’s That Strap makes specialty cable machine attachments that are specifically designed for rotation and multidirectional movement.

The 3D Strap is amazing for driving separation between the hips and shoulders like you would in tennis, golf, baseball or even basketball, but it can also be used to resist rotation in standard weight room exercises like squats and lunges as well.

And while the 3D Strap is awesome, I also find myself using their chop handles all the time as well. Whether it’s for exercises like chops and lifts, or just using them as a bonus sled dragging attachment, I absolutely love their versatility.

To learn more about Whatsthatstrap or pick up a 3D Strap or chop handles, head over to WhatsThatStrap.com and use the discount code RTS at checkout to get free shipping on all US orders.

I know you’re going to love training with their attachments!
