In this episode, we’re going to talk about the obstacles that busy men and women face with regards to their nutrition. We’re going to talk about why having a “White Belt Mindset” is so critical to success, both in nutrition and life. We’re going to talk about why you MUST have systems and processes to help improve or maintain your body comp. And last but not least, we’re going to talk about why re-framing thoughts and curating your self-talk are important, especially when things aren’t going your way.   The issue is when the scale doesn’t meet what you had in your head…your expectation and reality are clashing right now, and the scale isn’t the problem, you just thought it was going to say something different that it did. – Trevor Ratzky   This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast: Trevor’s journey in both strength and conditioning, as well as the online nutrition game. Why he feels that online coaching is arguably the most effective way to coach fat loss clients. How he settled into his role of working with active men and women to help them optimize body comp. The similarities Trevor sees between coaching BJJ and helping them with their nutrition. The “White Belt Mindset” and why it’s critical to long-term success. The biggest obstacles he sees both men and women struggling with in regards to their nutrition. Trevor’s thought on personal and self-development, and how Stoicism, Buddhism and psychology have helped make him a better coach.   Connect with Trevor: TrevorRatzky_TCM on Instagram Tailored Coaching Method Cody McBroom on Instagram   Books and Links Referenced: Cody McBroom on the Prime, Progress and Prosper Approach to Flexible Dieting Ryan Holiday Seneca Marcus Aurelius Philosopher’s Guide to Cognitive Behavioral Theory   Build Savage, Athletic Beasts with Exerfly! This week’s episode of the Physical Preparation Podcast is brought to you by Exerfly. Flywheel training is a method of strength training where your athletes generate resistance by using the inertia of a flywheel instead of traditional gravity-based resistance training By accelerating and then decelerating a disk, your athletes generate resistance in both the concentric and eccentric portions of the lift, WITHOUT the need for ridiculously heavy weights. Standard free weight training is great for the early preparatory phases, but as athletes develop there’s more to it than just getting stronger at all costs. At some point, you need to prepare them for the massive eccentric forces they’ll experience on the field, court or pitch – and with Exerfly’s motorized technology, you can increase the eccentric overload of the lift anywhere from 1-80%! Exerfly is used by numerous teams in the NFL, NBA, over 50% of the English Premiere League, and numerous Olympic development programs. Now as a small business owner you may immediately assume that an Exerfly is out of your budget, because we all know that every penny counts. But Exerfly has you covered here as well – they offer 36-month, interest free-financing, so you can get started ASAP with your training and pay as you go. And when you factor in a 30-day money back guarantee, 2- year warranty AND free shipping, the Exerfly really is a solid investment.

In case you’re unfamiliar with Jill Coleman and her story, here’s a brief synopsis… Like many of us, Jill was tired of working 50, 60 and 70+ hour weeks in the gym – just to barely scrape by.

You know some guests really need no introduction, but in case you’re unfamiliar with Joe “Big House” Kenn, let me fill you in real quick on this guys’ rap sheet…. He’s a 30+ year vet of the strength and conditioning game. He’s worked – and had success – at every level of physical preparation, from high school to the pros. And that illustrious career includes a 9-year stint with the Carolina Panthers in the NFL, and a trip to Super Bowl 50 along the way. And to my knowledge, he’s the ONLY COACH to be named NSCA Strength Coach of the Year at both the collegiate and professional levels. So needless to say, I’m pretty sure he knows a thing or two about S&C! But beyond that, Joe is not just a great coach but someone I consider to be a great friend and mentor as well, and I’m honored to have him back on the show this week!   What is a “high-performance model?” Isn’t elite sport high-performance? – Joe Kenn   This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast: What Joe’s been up to the past couple of years What he’s learned about coaching since he left the NFL, and what he still wants to continue to work on and develop How he got started training professional strongman Brian Shaw What he learned coaching and working with Brian The role and value of continuing to push and educate yourself as a coach What Joe sees as the future of S&C, and how YOU can keep developing yourself as a coach   Connect with Joe: BigHousePower.com Joe Kenn on Instagram   Build Savage, Athletic Beasts with Exerfly!

Terrence “TK” Kennell has worked in pro baseball, to women’s professional soccer, to men’s college basketball, and now a job with UFC. Working in all these areas has given him a broad set of experiences, and helped forge his approach to training. So in today’s episode, we’re going to look at some of the global principles necessary to be successful in physical preparation. We’re going to talk about annual planning – and why you SHOULD be doing it in some form or fashion. We’re going to talk about in-season training, and some of the benefits you get from spending more time with your developing athletes. And last but not least, we dive into on of my favorite topics, which is tissue prep – and why you should be making it an emphasis with your athletes.   It’s not a lack of volume that’s hurting them, it’s a lack of preparation for the volume that’s hurting them. Terrence “TK” Kennell   This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast: TK’s wide-ranging background and road through pro baseball, soccer, college basketball, and now the UFC His thoughts on annual planning, and thoughts on best practices How to have a long-term plan, while still staying agile in the short-term In-Season Training: How to manage it and make the best of it TK’s approach to tactical periodization and streamlining loading across the training week KPI’s for the off-season, and how to maximize off-season progress The role and value of extensive work, especially in the form of jumps, throws, etc.   Connect with TK: TK on Twitter TK on IG   Stop the Frustration!

Andrew Hauser has worked in a number of capacities in professional baseball both in the strength & medical capacities, most recently as the Director of Performance Rehab for the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Director of Player Health & Performance for the Atlanta Braves. And he has recently made the dive into the private space in Phoenix, AZ focusing on training, rehab, return to play and consulting starting his own business called Continuum High Performance. But today, we’re going to focus on this idea of return to play – or maybe more specifically, return to PERFORMANCE. Lots of people are talking about RTP, but how many are doing it well? How are they doing it at the highest levels of sport? And how can you take this knowledge to help YOUR clients and athletes get better results when coming back from injury? That’s the focus of today’s show, and I really think you’re going to enjoy it!   Sometimes you’ve got to show them a little failure that’s NOT going to set them back. – Andrew Hauser   This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast: Andrew’s career path, and how a life-changing injury forged him and made him who he is today. His first steps when it comes to his return to play (RTP) model, and why timelines are so important. How you go about getting everyone – coaches, trainers, physical and massage therapists, etc. – on the same page. Andrew’s thoughts on keeping everyone on course when dealing with major injuries and take weeks or months to rehabilitate. The role of contingency plans or “alternate routes” when dealing with setbacks Why the mental side of RTP may be the biggest issue at hand today What he’s learned spending numerous years in pro sports, and what he’s learning now that he’s moved into the private sector   Connect with Andrew: ContinuumHP.com Andrew@ContinuumHP.com Andrew Hauser on Twitter Andrew Hauser on Instagram   Build Savage, Athletic Beasts with Exerfly!

If you opened a gym 10-15 years ago, you know the struggle was REAL when it came to selling sports-performance training. Not only were you trying to sell people something – which is almost never easy – but you were trying to sell them something they often didn’t even know existed! So imagine doing that not 10, not 20, but almost 30 years ago? That was the struggle Ben Shear had when he first started. Ben knew he didn’t want to train the general population, but convincing athletes to come train with him would be no easy feat. Not only did he have to educate the public on WHY sports performance training was important, but then convince them to pay for it as well! But since then, Ben has become a true pioneer in the strength and conditioning space, as he’s well-known in both the hockey and golf training spaces Ben’s mantra is simple: Rather than blindly GUESSING as to what a client or athlete needs, he’s using force plates, 3d motion capture, and the Exerfly to help get the best possible results for his athletes. And the coolest thing is seeing those results pay off in the real world. Ben has trained more than 20 PGA Touring Professionals – including a former World #1 golfer and Major Champion. And he’s been named one of the Top 50 Golf Professionals in the Country via Golf Digest magazine, so it’s safe to say his methods are producing results.   Data is a scary thing for players when the team is doing it. In the private where they feel safe, it’s just information to help them avoid those pitfalls. – Ben Shear   This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast: How Ben got started in the world of physical preparation. The challenges of being in this space – and getting started! – nearly 30 years ago. Why Ben loves training both hockey players and golfers. How he got started using tech, and how it’s evolved over the years. Why Muscle and Fitness and Flex weren’t going to cut it for information – and who he went to instead! Using your assessment process to make more informed decisions. A practical example of how something simple like a countermovement jump can help you write better training programs. What Ben would do if he DIDN’T have access to the tech he does now.   Connect with Ben: AthleticEdge.net Ben Shear on Instagram Ben Shear on Twitter   Build Savage, Athletic Beasts with Exerfly!

Have you ever fallen TOTALLY FLAT when coaching or cuing a client? You’re pulling everything out of your playbook, and for whatever reason, it’s just NOT working? If so, welcome to the club! I know this has happened to me in the past, and it has most definitely happened to today’s guest Nick Winkelman. At the time, Nick was working with some of the most elite athletes on the planet at EXOS as the head coach of their NFL Combine Prep program. And when he determined he wasn’t truly connecting and making an impact on his athletes performance, that’s when he realized he needed to change. In today’s episode, we’re going to talk about the Language of Coaching – which just so happens to also be the title of Nick’s new book on this very topic.   We don’t ALWAYS need to provide a cue – it’s only when we feel it’s necessary. – Nick Winkelman   This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast: Nick’s background and jumping-off point in the industry. How he originally got interested in coaching/cuing, and them moment he realized he needed to get better. The power of “The Moment BEFORE the Movement” The difference between interpersonal communication and communicating movement The Coaching Communication Loop (and it’s 5 moments) Nick’s thoughts on Informing vs. Interfering When to use Internal vs. External Cues Learning to trust your instincts as a coach   Links Referenced: The Language of Coaching Website Language of Coaching Book   Build Savage, Athletic Beasts with Exerfly!

Dr. Sean Pastuch, DC, grew up around the fitness, health, and wellness industry. And when he graduated Chiro school, he ended up opening a clinic and a CrossFit gym, he didn’t want to be that Chiro who tells you, “You need to this exercise and be on “X” program.” Then, pat you on the back and say see you next week. He works with people and athletes, who don’t want to deal with pain and injury anymore. And at the same time, don’t want to stop their training or don’t want to keep modifying their workouts every time there’s a workout that has overhead movements. In this show, Sean and I talk about the fitness industry as a whole, why trainers and coaches should be working to bridge the gap between training and healthcare, and the advice he’d give both his younger self, and young trainers and coaches listening to this show. Sean has a really unique viewpoint on coaching and how we can improve our industry, so I hope you enjoy the show.   We need an entirely new business model that is completely departed from anything that looks, feels or smells like the gym they used to own. – Dr. Sean Pastuch   This Week on the Physical Preparation Podcast: How a chiropractor ended up owning and operating a CrossFit gym. Why Sean believes that a lack of self-awareness makes the fitness industry less valuable. How trainers and coaches can bridge the gap between training/coaching and healthcare. The story behind building his gyms, and ultimately, letting them go to pursue other options. Why Sean opened both Active Life RX and Active Life Professional.

Anthony Mucurio is a professional coach for people looking to improve their physical capabilities for sport. In addition to building beasts on the field, he is also dedicated to helping people stay HEALTHY so they can reach their FULL physical potential in life. His vision is to bridge the gap between modern sports science and classic training methods. In his mind the goal is to create a training program that builds tremendous athleticism while also building resiliency against injury. In this show, Anthony and I have a great chat. We start by talking about how a PE teacher from Brooklyn ended up owning a gym in upstate New York. From there, we dive head first into his training philosophy – the role of split-stance and single-leg work, why extensive plyos are important, his thoughts on speed training, and much, much more. Anthony is really doing some amazing work with his athletes, and I know you’re going to love this show.   I believe health precedes performance – and if you can’t stay on the field, then the rest of it doesn’t even matter.

In this show, Molly and I talk dive into several hot button topics including body image, disordered eating, and social media. Needless to say if you train female clients of any age, you’ll take something away from this episode.   People come in all shapes and sizes of body’s, so help them see that diversity in body’s is actually normal. – Molly Galbraith   This Week on the Physical Preparation Podcast: Molly’s start in physical preparation, and her journey through the various realms of the fitness world. What male trainers NEED TO KNOW about training their female athletes with regards to body image. The role of moms in a young girls’ body image. How parents can help promote a positive body image. The difference between an eating disorder and disordered eating. The red flags or tell-tale signs of someone that might be struggling with an eating disorder. Molly thoughts on the pros and cons of social media.
