Ryan Maitland: Coaching, Developing, and Supporting the Complete Athlete

In this episode of the Brawn Body Health and Fitness Podcast - the first episode of season 4 / 2023 - Dan is joined by Ryan Maitland to discuss coaching and development strategies for creating a complete athlete. The two discuss how benefits of strength & conditioning expand beyond the gym and into other areas of an athlete's life.

Ryan is a Salisbury University Alumni, where he had obtained his Bachelors Degree in Exercise Science and received his Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) Certification through the National Strength & Conditioning Association (NSCA). Ryan is from Elkton, Maryland, where he played Lacrosse at the High School & Junior College level.

After his Lacrosse career, Ryan worked within the Sports Performance Department at Salisbury University for 2 years before taking on many prestigious Internships with The University of Delaware and Elite Training Systems in Whitby, Ontario. Upon graduation from Salisbury, Ryan went on to serve as a Graduate Assistant at Webber International University in Babson Park, Florida, where he was the Head Strength & Conditioning Coach for the Baseball and Women’s Basketball programs. Most recently, Ryan served as the Regional Performance Director at Power Train Sports & Fitness where he received experience training Elite High School, College, and Professional Athletes.

Ryan has a passion for making athletes realize their full life potential on and off the field. When Ryan isn’t working with athletes or hanging out with his fiance, Krista, and their dog, Nala, you can find him in the woods bowhunting, mountain biking, hiking, or on the mats getting choked out in a Brazilian Ju Jitsu class.
