Today we have on Austin Womack. Austin was a strength coach working in professional baseball before becoming a wildland firefighter in 2019. After understanding the demands firsthand he decided to start a coaching business called rugged athlete specifically aimed toward working with wildland firefighters.
In this episode we talk about the challenges wild land fire fighters face, the importance of periodizing “the suck”, how to prepare for working in challenging environments.
