Getting Sport Coaches to Buy Into Your Strength Program | Ross Garner Interview Sport coaches hate your strength program. Most high school strength coaches struggle to get sport coaches on board with their training. Without coach buy-in, athletes don't take the weight room seriously and results suffer. Many strength coaches try impressing sport coaches with fancy data and showing up to every game. These tactics backfire because they focus on proving worth instead of building partnerships. The solution is asking each coach what they want to see in training sessions. In this episode, Ross Garner shares his exact system for getting every sport coach at his Texas high school bought into his strength program. He reveals how he manages 1,200 athletes across multiple sports and maintains strong relationships with all his coaches.

What You'll Learn:

• How to structure training for multiple sports
• Why Monday workouts don't work for high school athletes
• The conversation that gets coaches invested in your program
• How to balance your program with coach requests

This episode hits different for me, and lots of Hawkeye football fans. Back in 2015 Brett Greenwood lead the swarm. This was after an accident that doctors said he would never walk again. Just like Brett did with everything, this was a challenge for him to overcome.

With the help of former teammate Pat Angerer and therapist Matt Rokes, Brett walked again and lead the most emotional swam ever.

Watch Brett's entrance onto Kinnick here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8CVzQ-N5uJg

In this CMW I talk with Matt about how he helped Brett. We also talk about how he helps his other athletes Return to Sport.
