They discuss the evolution of coaching from traditional methods to a more modern approach that emphasizes speed, shorter practices, and less conditioning.

Mueller shares insights on how these changes have positively impacted player performance and overall team success, including the development of athletes across multiple sports. The conversation also addresses skepticism from traditionalists and the importance of metrics like the truck stick in evaluating player potential.
