PILOT SEASON:

Becca Gerdon is a lifelong athlete, graduating from UNC with an ExSci degree and then going off to the races in the growing sport of weightlifting. She joined Travis Mash's weightlifting team before moving onto MuscleDriver USA. She has competed on the national and international circuit for the last six years, even representing Team USA in Russia. Currently, Becca coaches CrossFit, GPP, and, of course, Weightlifting. She gives us the lowdown on all things coaching, cueing, common errors that prevent intermediate lifters from improving, overtraining, CrossFit as a tool and a community, remote coaching, female athlete nutrition, what happens behind the scenes at comps, and what it feels like to represent a country internationally. This was a blast, so I know you'll enjoy!

Thanks for tuning in this week! Mitch Zandes (MS, RD, CSCS) is a clinical dietician in New York. He's also a lover of knowledge regarding all things food, fitness, and health science. He gives us a real look into life as a dietician who treats bodies riddled with diseases, but also those who want to become well. We talked about fad diets, how fitness professionals and allopathic doctors can do better with nutrition advice, the truth about carbs, plant-based habits, eating for performance and productivity, supplements, and how to beat disease with food. Mitch is so diplomatic and articulate with his education; if you have any confusion around food, I highly recommend you give this a listen! Follow Mitch!

Yo! This week we learn with Hunter Charneski (MS, CSCS) of Charneski Power and FreakFaktory. He is a coach, an athlete, a writer, a consultant, a leader, and an internationally-respected expert on sprinting. He breaks down for us what sprinting means in a physical, practical, spiritual, and mental sense. We also talked about mentorship, responsibility, owning a company, the state of the sports industry, hamstring rehab, and how we as coaches can do better. If you want to learn about practicing your "why" in coaching or how to become a student of sprinting, you'll want to listen to this bazooka of an episode. Thanks again, Hunter! P.S. Since we are letting you guys eavesdrop on our convo, there is some profanity in here.

I've been thinking about how versatile the job of an S&C coach really is. In this episode, we break down together the realities of having an expansive job description, the uniqueness of experiences as a "Jack of All Trades", and the implications of such a role on CEUs and training philosophy. Let's go!!
