In this episode, Coach Scott Leech sits down with Bill DeLongis, Head Strength & Conditioning Coach at Trinity College. Trinity has gone 32–4 over the last four seasons, and Coach DeLongis breaks down exactly how they manage the post-season phase — restoring range of motion, rebuilding size and strength, and preparing athletes for winter break.
You’ll hear how he uses long-duration isometrics, hypertrophy clusters, partner accountability, speed priming, EMOM structure, and strategies for training in a voluntary Division III environment. He also shares details about his Strength on the Gridiron Virtual Clinic and his mini-course, After the Final Whistle.
