Strength & Conditioning for Football Players | Nick DiMarco on Speed, Power, and DurabilityIn this episode, I sit down with Nick DiMarco, director of strength and conditioning for football at Elon University, to break down what actually matters when it comes to strength and conditioning for football players. From Freshman to Seniors, we dive into how to build speed, power, and resilience without burning athletes out or getting them hurt.Nick shares his philosophy on programming for football, including how to balance maximal strength with on-field explosiveness, why many football training plans miss the mark, and how to adapt training across the off-season, in-season, and return-to-play phases.Whether you’re a football player, strength coach, sport coach, or parent, this episode delivers practical insights you can apply immediately to training and long-term athlete development.CHECK OUT MY EBOOK, Dialing in Your Nutrition: A Comprehensive Manual for Setting Up Your Own Diet.
