June Q&A: Professional Mentorship, Unlocking Mobility, and Speed Training for Young Athletes

Listen Later

I asked, and you answered the bell!

In fact, I got SO MANY questions from this Q&A podcast that I had to break it up into two separate episodes.

In today’s show, I put 45-minutes on the clock and knock out as many questions as I can get to.

So whether you’re interested in learning more about mobility, speed training for young athletes, or why I charge for my mentorship programs and services, I cover a TON of materials in this quick hitting and informative show.

Let’s dive in!

 

Quotable Quotes:

The best programs are vertically integrated, but think of them as levers or dials? Not all of them are at a level 10 in every training block

 

Recovery becomes a real issue if your training sessions are pushing two, two and a half, or three hours every time you’re in the gym

 

If you find value in something, you’ll find a way to get it done

 

This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast:
  • Are topics like flexibility and mobility covered in the Complete Coach Cert?
  • How do I integrate progression into my programs?
  • Building programs for hybrid athletes that cover strength, power, conditioning, etc.
  • Becoming a better communicator

  • How I structure speed development sessions with groups of 12-14 year old athletes

  • Quick update/life recap on how I’m doing LOL
