In this podcast we discussed the valuable insights strength coaches can gain from becoming skill coaches, especially in MMA. We believe that understanding the sport on a deeper level allows us to be more thoughtful about our training strategies. We also emphasized the importance of a coach's ability to perform the exercises they're teaching, and the need for programming that reflects the specific demands of the sport. Ultimately, we concluded that having a foot in both strength and skill coaching can significantly enhance our ability to serve our athletes effectively.
