In episode 34, we sit down with Brant Anderson. He is the RB coach for the Iowa Western Reivers in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Iowa Western has been one of the most successful junior college programs in the country over the past few years. They won the national championship in 2022 and 2023 and lost a close one in 2024.

Coach Anderson has also been a high school head coach and lends a unique perspective to coaching ball with his experience at two levels of the game. He is a former college fullback at Midland University, where they ran the Wishbone. We do some reminiscing about old-school smash-mouth football while comparing and contrasting it to today's game. Coach Anderson was recently inducted into the Midland Hall of Fame.

In episode 33, we talk football with Sa 'Quan Hicks. Coach Hicks is the DC at Ben Franklin HS in Baltimore, MD.

Coach Hicks has devised a pretty nasty odd front defense that he calls the "23 Defense." He is very forthcoming in our conversation and tells me all about it. He also gives details on his "Sniper Blitz."

He has published several books that are available on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0D9TPRFW1/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?ie=UTF8&qid=&sr=⁠

In episode 32, we talk football, strength training, and nutrition with Jon Heck. Coach Heck is a former NFL and college strength and conditioning coach.

After his playing days, he worked as a strength coach at UNC, with the Houston Texans, and most recently for the Troy University Trojans.
