This episode is a 2 hour long lecture I gave on pretty much all my current thoughts for the future of gymnastics strength and conditioning.

I start by outlining how the values, habits, and culture that a gym has fosters motivation in young athletes. From there, we dive into all the details for strength exercises, power work, periodization, cardio, and planning throughout the year.

There is a huge change coming in gymnastics for building more "new school" models that blend both traditional body weight drills and external loading in line with current research. I hope you find it helpful!

In the inaugural episode of The SHIFT Show, I talk with elite international gymnastics coach Nick Ruddock.

We discuss a range of topics from specific gymnastics techniques needed for high performance, to physical preparation programs, to creating motivation in athletes, and what it takes to create a high performing culture where athletes are "happy, healthy, and hungry" as Nick puts it.

This episode is jam packed full of great tips for coaches, medical providers, and anyone else working in gymnastics to soak up.

We appreciate you listening!
