This week, I sat down with Stephanie Mock Grubbs — former Division I athlete, collegiate S&C coach and athletic director, and now Major League strength coach with the Houston Astros — to talk about what high performance really looks like over a 162-game season.

We discuss how she uses microdosing strength training in-season, what it means to lift when every day is game day, and how she finds “maximal effective doses” inside a chaotic schedule of travel, night games, and quick turnarounds.

We close with practical advice for young coaches who want to work in pro sport: how to diversify your skill set, why collaborating with academics and sport scientists matters, and why mentorship and humility still sit at the center of good coaching.

Enjoy.

Sign up for the Power and Strength Summit (Jan. 24th/25th) to hear Steph's presentation on creating a framework for microdosing strength training:
