Physical Preparation Podcast Archives - Robertson Training Systems Michelle Boland on Lessons Learned in Running and Coaching
If you work with gen pop clients or runners that are struggling with nagging aches and pains, then this episode is a must-listen.
Dr. Michelle Boland is a certified strength and conditioning coach with distinction and owner of Michelle Boland Training, LLC.
Michelle was previously the Director of Education at a private training facility and has several years experience as a Strength and Conditioning Coach for a D1 collegiate institution.
Michelle specializes in movement biomechanics, athletic development, and improving fitness while addressing nagging pain or injuries that may be limiting performance.
And in this episode, I think there’s some great discussion about how to help these clients the most when it comes to writing their programs and training them in the gym.
When they walk in – BOOM! – they should feel like a part of the community. – Michelle Boland
