How to Be a Better Coach

It’s June, and we’re back with another KILLER Q&A Episode!

This month was fun because I had a nice mix of questions to answer. On one hand, I had some X’s and O’s questions about how to get more out of your programs and coaching.

And on the flip side, I also got some higher-level philosophical questions on continuing education and how to make our industry a little bit better.

Regardless, there’s something in here for everyone – so let’s dive in!

You have to get really clear on what works in theory or in a laboratory setting, and what people are really doing. You have to understand the dichotomy between the science and practical side of what we do. – Mike Robertson

This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast:

• Monthly recap, what I’m working on, and what I’m excited about in the coming months.
• My thoughts on VBT (or velocity-based training), how it can be useful, and the brand that I most recommend.
• How to personalize team training sessions, both in collegiate or ANY large-group setting.
• What’s missing from the certification/licensure process to help raise the bar on our profession.
• The future of continuing education for both RTS and the industry as a whole.
• My thoughts on the 3/7 method of lifting, and general principles for discerning if a program is valuable or not.
• A fun lightning round where we talk about program design, movies, and what summer looks like here in Indy!
