Dylan Gutheil on the Art of Exercise Selection, Developing Coaches, and NOT Niching Down

Passionate about sports since childhood, Dylan Gutheil played football and rugby in high school and continued his rugby career at Springfield College, where he earned a degree in Exercise Science. Dylan started personal training right out of college for 5 years until he got frustrated with the corporate training environment and decided there was a better way to deliver coaching that could have a bigger impact on more people’s lives. And in 2016 his former college classmate and rugby co-captain, Jared, joined him to open Flight Performance and Fitness. Dylan’s main drive is to build Flight to the best possible training facility it can be so it can help more people reach their personal goals and potential. And in this episode of the Physical Prep Podcast, we dive into why exercise selection is so critical in your program design, why he’s passionate about developing young coaches, and his thoughts on why they HAVE NOT tried to niche their business down. Let’s do this!   If I believe I can help this person…or I believe I can deliver a really good service to this person, I’m NOT going to turn them down. – Dylan Gutheil   This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast: Dylan’s background and why he originally got started in the world of Physical Preparation. Why Springfield college was such a great place for him to get started, and his early mentors there. What he learned during his 5 years working in a commercial gym… …and how his time there ultimately led to him opening his own gym, Flight Fitness and Performance! Dylan’s “Big Rocks” and overarching philosophy when it comes to training. The power of exercise selection – and why we should ALL be striving to choose the best exercises for our clients and athletes. Some of the biggest mistakes Dylan sees making with their exercise choices. Why he’s so passionate about developing young coaches. The lessons he’s learned over the years in regards to developing and mentoring others. Dylan’s rationale for NOT niching down in his business. A really fun lightning round where we talk core training, the biggest changes he’s made to his programs over the past 1-2 years, and his favorite moment (so far) as a coach!     Connect with Dylan Dylan on Instagram Flight Performance and Fitness   Related Links Alex Hubelbank on Principles, Value Systems and Player-Driven Processes in Sport Instagram Ab Post from Lightning Round   Have YOU Heard About the New IFAST University?

Andy McCloy on His Coaching Journey, Building a Legacy Business, and Outworking Your Self Doubt

Have you ever struggled or doubted yourself as a coach? Wondered if you were smart enough to really get results? Or maybe thought that everyone else out there was doing a better job than you? Well welcome to the club – because both myself and today’s guest have felt the same way at one point in time! Andy McCloy is the owner of Body Creations, Inc in Huntsville, Alabama, where they train athletes of all ages and sports including football, basketball, baseball, mixed martial arts (MMA), wrestling, soccer, softball, and golf. Andy has worked with hundreds of athletes ranging from middle and high school to the Professional levels, including the NFL and Arena Football Leagues. And in this episode, Andy and I not only talk about the struggles of being a coach, but the insecurities he dealt with early-on in his career. If you’re looking for a story with a kick-ass hero going on an awesome journey, you’re going to love today’s episode. Let’s do this!   You don’t have to sacrifice the connection with your family just because you’re working more. I would argue that a lot of people in your family will respect you even more because of it. – Andy McCloy   This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast: A brief intro from Andy, and what’s new since the last time he was on the show. Why Andy originally got into coaching, and the unique path he took to get the ball rolling. How struggle and insecurity drove him head-first into continuing education, and how his mindset has evolved as a result. The early influences in Andy’s career, and the people that helped him along the way. Why Andy doubted himself early-on – and how he got over that and truly started to believe in himself as a coach. How Andy is helping build the next generation of great trainers and coaches at his gym. When he realized that instead of just coaching, he needed to put an emphasis on becoming a better business owner and leader. A really fun lightning round where we discuss the shoe game, how being a dad has impacted him, and the biggest lessons he’s learned running a brick-and-mortar facility.     Connect with Andy: Andy on IG Body Creations Inc Website   Related Links: Andy’s other appearances on the Physical Prep Podcast Alwyn Cosgrove on Fat Loss Training, Mentorship and Paying it Forward Fellows Coffee Onyx Coffee   Have YOU Heard About the New IFAST University?

Eric Cressey on Load vs. Capacity, “Sticky” Businesses, and the 8-Week Magic Mark in Rehab

What has Eric Cressey NOT accomplished in his career? He’s the President of Cressey Sports Performance, and the Director of Player Health and Performance for THE New York Yankees. And of course he’s a published author, internationally renowned speaker, and the host of the Elite Baseball Development podcast. But perhaps most importantly to me, Eric is someone that I’ve grown up in this industry alongside, and I couldn’t be happier to see his success – and to have him back on the podcast this week! In this episode, I really wanted to hone in on the journey of a coach, and highlight the ups and downs we all go through in our career. And while we do talk some X’s and O’s training at the end, I think you’re going to love hearing what really makes Eric Cressey tick, and what’s turned him into the coach he is today. Let’s do this!   You’ve got to prove value – we trained pro guys for free for a couple years before we ever thought about charging them… That was a really transformative time when we realized people were relocating just to train with us. –  Eric Cressey   This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast: A little bit about Eric and what’s new in his world. What originally got him into coaching, along with his early mentors and influences. How he got started in the writing game, and why he still prefers writing over speaking. Finding your voice: What Eric did to come into his own. Did THE Eric Cressey ever doubt himself as a coach? What it means to build a “Stick Business” – and why that was such a big goal and focus for him. How a tennis player with beat-up shoulders became the world’s foremost baseball S&C Coach. Eric’s thoughts on shoulder training and management, and how that’s evolved over the course of his 20-year career. Why Load vs. Capacity is one of the most critical aspects of ANY injury. ONE ASPECT of movement that could help athletes improve their long-term health and performance. His advice for young coaches, and where you can (and probably won’t) find mentors. A really fun lightning round where we talk kiddos, Spring Training, how he does all the things, and what’s next for Eric Cressey.     Connect with Eric: EricCressey.com Eric on Instagram Elite Baseball Development Podcast   Related Links: Eric’s Appearances on the Physical Prep Podcast Brijesh Patel on Developing Your Mindset, Attitude and Self-Talk Sam Miller on Training, Testing and Quantifying Power with 3-D Resistance Bill Hartman on How Body Shapes Drive Movement and Performance   Stop the Frustration!

Sam Miller on Training, Testing and Quantifying Power with 3-D Resistance

Sam Miller is the Founder and CEO of Proteus motion – a cutting-edge technology and training company that’s looking to fill in the gaps with how we test and train for power development. As someone that’s always looking to sharpen the saw and improve my own programming, I jumped at the chance to get Sam on the show. After watching demo videos of the Proteus I obviously wanted to talk about how we can incorporate better 3D Training with our athletes, but what I was most surprised by was how he’s using it with gen pop clients as well. So in this episode we cover a ton of ground – from the long days and nights Sam had when he started building the Proteus, to why we need to be digging deeper into rotational power training, and of course discussing how important it is to make training FUN – so our clients and athletes will want to keep coming back for years to come.   It is absolutely essential to be evaluating multi-planar and rotational movement. – Sam Miller   This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast: How Sam got started in the world of physical prep. The origins of Proteus Motion, and all of the long days and sleepless nights that led to it’s creation. The process of going from concept, to prototype, to functional unit. Why a Proteus is so powerful, and how it’s different from your standard dumbbells, cables and bands. 3D Resistance: What it is, and why you should be testing and training it. Why the standard tools for assessing power development leave a lot to be desired. How an over-reliance on sagittal plane activities can actually hamper rotational sports performance. The role of 3D training for both rotational sports athletes, as well as your gen pop clients! What’s next for Sam and Proteus in the years to come. A really fun lightning round where we talk about the biggest headaches he’s had in the process, what he’s taking away from their assessment process, and just how many data points they currently have (it’s crazy!)     Connect with Sam and Proteus: ProteusMotion.com Proteus on IG Tag Proteus on Twitter Eric Cressey Podcasts Damian Lillard Rehab using Proteus     Have YOU Heard About the New IFAST University?

This is going to sound crazy, but it’s absolutely true… …did you ever listen to THIS PODCAST and quit your job? And not just any job – but a job with APPLE? Because as wild as that sounds, today’s guest did just that. Alex Hubelbank is an NBA consultant that appears to have lived 99 lives. She really did quit her job at Apple so she could pursue her dream of going back to physical therapy school and working in the NBA.

Her foundation principles, and why she believes in having a pragmatic approach to training. The importance of finding the rate limiter, as well as HOW she’s going about doing that. Why Alex believes in giving an athlete all of the relevant information, and then helping them find the best decision. How she’s trying to layer both performance and health to optimize how her athletes move and feel. Teaching athletes to guide their own process, and the adult discussions that result from that. The biggest difference Alex has seen moving from the team-side to the individual-side of pro sports. A really fun lightning round where we talk powerlifting, the best and worst part of being on the road, and why she takes such great pride in being a straight shooter.     Connect with Alex: Alex on Instagram   Related Episodes: Chris Chase’s Podcasts Eric Schmitt on Program Design and Agile Periodization in the NBA   Supercharge Your Decision-Making and Program Design with Hawkin Dynamics Force Plates!

Rett Larson on Problem Solving Warm-ups, Ankle Durability, Deceleration and Straight-Arm Strength

Rett Larson is the head strength and conditioning coach for the German Women’s National Volleyball team. Prior to time with Germany, he was also the head S&C coach for the Netherlands, and the Chinese Women’s Volleyball team, where he won a gold medal. In this amazing episode, Rett and I start by touching on how he originally got into physical preparation, and the wide ranging journey he’s been on. From there, we dive into topics like creating more dynamic and engaging warm-ups, how to improve ankle durability, why deceleration is so important in sports, and the value of straight-arm strength in your programs. Not only was this a fun episode to record, but I guarantee you’re going to have some “ah-ha” moments along the way. Let’s do this!   A good warm-up needs to be solving a problem…it needs to have a very specific goal. – Rett Larson   This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast: How four years of grinding in law firms ultimately pushed Rett towards strength and conditioning. Why he traded the comfort and allure of Southern California for a life-changing experience in China. How Rett originally got interested in warm-ups, and why they’ve become a bridge-building tool for him. The boxes he tries to check in his warm-ups, and why they don’t necessarily include a foam roller or specific stretches. Barefoot Magic: What it is, and how you can incorporate it into your workouts. The role deceleration training plays in his program, and both the conventional and unique ways he trains it. Rett’s thoughts on one of the biggest mistakes many people make in their power training. Why straight-arm strength is such an untapped area of performance improvement and injury-proofing. A really fun lightning round where we talk about jump training tips, curating creativity, and what Rett means when he talks about “No Zombies.”     Connect with Rett: Rett Larson on IG   Stop the Frustration!

2024 Dreams, Goals and Aspirations

Well like it or not, 2024 is here. What are your dreams for the New Year? Your goals? Your aspirations? In today’s episode, I’m going to give you a behind-the-scenes look at how I outline and plan my New Year. When you consider the fact that I’m trying to move the needle across numerous aspect of my life – personal development, RTS, IFAST, IFASTU, IFAST Basketball, etc. – I think it all comes down to having a vision for all these various domains, and then getting serious about your WHY. So rather than hyping this show up, why don’t we dive in and talk about my goals for 2024, and how you can use this same system and framework to make 2024 your best year EVER. Let’s do this!   My goal is to create content that meets people with where they’re at. Imagine finding Eric Cressey, Stuart McGill or Bill Hartman at 23…how much faster do you become great? – Mike Robertson   This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast: My two overarching themes for my life in 2024. Why having a vision is so important for helping you achieve your goals. Finding your “why” or “so that” to help tether your goals to real emotions and deeper meanings. My personal goals for myself in 2024, and why I have a blend of both physical and mental goals. Why you need to have a blend of process and outcome-based goals, especially if your goals are longer-term in nature. Insights into the future of content here at RTS, including what you can expect from me in regards to the podcast and videos going forward. The BIG projects and ideas I have lined up for the new year. My vision for IFAST going forward – and why there are certain elements of the gym I’m unwilling to sacrifice. The future of IFAST Basketball, and how I’m trying to balance enjoying the moment with building for the future. How IFASTU started, and how’s it going to look and feel in the future. And last but not least some thoughts on what YOU can do to make 2024 your best year ever!     Resources Mentioned: Don Saladino Podcast Cody McBroom Podcast Psychology of Money Book Hawkin Dynamics RTS YouTube Page Physical Prep Podcast on Apple Podcasts Physical Prep Podcast on Spotify   Subscribe, Rate & Share!
