In this week's episodes of the Brawn Body Podcast, Dan is joined by Dr. Dakota Strohl, PT, DPT - for TWO episodes. On Motivation Monday, Dr. Strohl will be sharing his experiences through graduate school. Not only did Dr. Strohl GRIND in the classroom and in his fitness, but he also pushed himself to read and learn outside the required curriculum as well. This evidently paid off, as he scored perfectly on his licensure exam, an extremely rare and impressive feat! Next, Dr. Strohl will return on our Wednesday podcast to discuss some Olympic lifts, common mistakes made, and how to correct them! Dr. Strohl is a 2018 graduate of LVC with a BSc in Health Science. After graduating, Dr. Strohl continued at LVC, where he earned his DPT, graduating in 2020. He now works at Robbins Rehabilitation West in Allentown, Pennsylvania. He’s a married man (sorry ladies!), an avid reader, and overall a genuinely good guy. To keep up with Dr. Strohl, you can find him at strohld7 on Instagram. We’re very thankful to have him on the show!!
