Back in December, the Head coach of the University of Wisconsin Division III school, Jessie DeZiel joined me for a conversation about her journey to becoming a head coach.

The midwest native has kept her career as an athlete and coach in the Midwest. She was a National team member and cornhusker before beginning her coaching Journey.

Jessie is excited for the opportunities as she completed her 3rd season with the Blugolds.

Passion just flows from Co-Head Coach of the University of California Bears Justin Howell as he talks about his staff, athletes, and purpose for coaching. Finding a way to make a disadvantage into an advantage is something he has done during his career as an athlete and now as a coach.

The CAL gymnastics team is currently ranked #3 in the NQS College Gymnastics rankings as they just won the Big 12 Conference Championship.

Justin credits his Co-Head coach and Wife Liz for so much of his success as a coach and how the program has done over their time together at Cal and is excited to hopefully be one of the final 4 teams at the National finals this 2024 season. Follow them on social media as they contend for Regional Title and National Title.

Gymnastics Doc Ian Crider joins the podcast to have a great conversation today.

Dr. Ian Crider is a physical therapist specializing in keeping gymnasts healthy, happy, and safe!

He was a gymnast for 16 years (including 4 years of NCAA) and has been a coach for 15 years. Now as a PT, he helps coaches with their planning and programming, parents take care of their gymnasts better, and gymnasts with their injuries and limitations.

We discuss many different topics related to gymnastics development. Ian talks about how periodization in training plans is very important to set up athletes properly with intentional de-load weeks to prevent overuse injuries. We also discuss how different types of stretching are important. The way we may think about our sport can be different after this conversation.
