Over the last 12 years, Austin Einhorn has used critical thinking skills to solve the problems of professional athletes and Olympians.
He’s a champion of problem-solving, emphasizing a teaching mindset through effective communication, authentic relationships, and practical, hands-on coaching.
And in this wide-ranging interview, we touch on a ton of different topics, such as how to improve skill development in young athletes, why we’re seeing so many non-contact injuries in sport, and the role and value that language plays in our coaching.
Let’s do this!
Getting clearer with words and mastering language allows for so many different opportunities. – Austin Einhorn

Have YOU Heard About the New IFAST University?
When Bill and I created IFASTU back in 2016, our singular goal was to make it an elite resource for trainers, coaches and rehab professionals across the globe.
Because there are 100’s, if not 1000’s of coaches who would love to come to IFAST and learn from us, but can’t.
So the new IFAST University is not only sleeker and more streamlined, but we also have two membership options based on where you’re at in your career.
Our IFASTU Standard option is like the Netflix of training con ed. Here you’ll have access to the complete IFASTU archive, which has well over 100 in-depth videos on topics like program design, coaching and anatomy and movement.
Plus, every month you’ll get a new piece of content from a world-class coach – someone that’s going to help YOU take your game to the next level.
But if you’re really looking to fast-track your progress, you may want to get in on IFASTU ELITE.
Here you’ll not only have access to the archives and monthly content drops like standard users, but you’ll also have direct access to both Bill and I each and every month.
Between two monthly Q&A calls, access to over 100 previously recorded Q&A call’s, and direct access to both us and our group of elite coaches via our private forum, this is a sure-fire way to get around the right people and level up FAST.
