Episode 11 features Max Schmarzo, who is a Performance Coach/Trainer to many high level athletes, including NBA athletes, and more. He also is the Co-Founder of Upper Echelon Nutrition, an all-natural, research-based supplement company for athletes. Additionally, he is a co-creator and contributor to The EdgeU, which is an educational platform for coaches, trainers, therapists, and athletes.

This episode highlights some of Max's thought processes when he is tasked with designing a training plan for a basketball player. He touched on how he views movement, the weight room, and how he likes to approach setting up a training day with an athlete. Further, we discussed what he thinks is an appropriate viewpoint on merging skill development with a training program for a basketball player based on that player's true needs and how to optimize that player's role and performance.

We also touched on the business side of things, and some advice he has to trainers looking to create an online presence, diversify their potential income, and other key tips that he wished he knew when starting out.
