This week I am joined by Jeff Davidson, a strength coach from Elon University. We go through his journey in getting to Elon and his development into an American football strength coach. Jeff talks about how good communication has helped him adapt to all the different teams he has worked with. Good communication has allowed him to get good buy in from all athletes and teams he has worked with, he talks about how establishing motive and respect from the start always helps with this. 

We go on to his journey through the football world and how at first it was all he wanted to work with but now has been opened up to whole new world of all the other teams. Jeff talks about how the football is set up at Elon, with 3 different groups involving, Foundation, Foundation + and Advanced. All these have different goals and athletes, Jeff talks through these goals, especially the Foundation + with whom he works. 

Lastly, Jeff talks about imposter syndrome. A common thing that strength coaches and athletes can suffer when coming into a huge set up like Elon. We cover how anyone can suffer from this and certain ways in which everyone can help those suffering.
