This week we are lucky to have Jim Davis of the Good Athlete Project join us to talk about the forward evolution of strength and conditioning in high school athletics. Coach Davis believes we stand on the precipice of where intelligent training meets biological potential. Finally the responsible and effective S&C approach that high school athletes deserve.    We all have stories about the asinine training we received in high school. When the coach said “run” we ran…usually at distances that proved to be a detriment to our performance. Luckily, The Good Athlete Project’s Jim Davis has an optimistic outlook on where things are headed at the high school level.

Happy New Year Power Athlete Nation. This week we’re bringing back Michael Matthews to discuss his new book, Muscle For Life. There is no question that the guy knows how to get people fit, but this book is even more geared to the 40 and over crowd, which, lets be honest, can struggle with maintaining muscle and staying lean. But of course, no PA conversation would be complete without some covid coverage and philosophical banter.    Michael Matthews wants you to have Muscle For Life. Not just the young go-hards, but the middle aged folk who’ve maybe let training take a back seat to their other responsibilities. His simple yet effective approach is what makes him appealing to the masses. You don’t have to be a so-called “athlete” to see results.
