In this episode, Hamilton College Head Strength and Conditioning Coach Pat Basil joins us to talk EVERYTHING related to training athletes in large team settings.

Pat oversees 600+ athletes often BY HIMSELF and has developed some fantastic protocol to best handle a quality strength training program consisting of that many athletes.

To start, Pat talks about the day to day responsibilities he has and how things are structured when navigating dozens of teams through in-season and off-season programing. From there, he talks about individualization and how seeking individualization with large teams is a fools errand. It will lead you to inadequately serve the athletes and frankly, isn't possible. Pat touches on the idea of simplicity and how you can maximize effectiveness by having athletes work on mastery of the same principles of training week in and week out.

From there, the conversation turns to tracking weights for main movements, programming based on your facility set up and availability and how you can best instruct/teach when you have a large number of athletes to work with.

Terrence Kennell has spent time as a strength and sports performance coach with a variety of different collegiate and professional organizations.

In that time, he has seen his fair share of poor conditioning practices and is here to give us his thoughts on what is wrong with the perception around energy systems training in sports and what we can do to be better.

The conversation talks about reverse engineering sport to find the demands the athletes actually face and how we can best prepare them.

Additionally, are you actually using your conditioning test to effectively judge your athlete’s readiness for sport? If it doesn’t relate to the sport they play, odds are it is a waste of time.
