This week's guest, Mike Whiteman, is the performance coach of the Riverhounds Academy, working with hundreds of youth female athletes on speed, strength and power development. He discusses why it's important for the young girl to master efficient body movement first during the critical years of growth, and then how she can progress into a lightning speed athlete as she goes through high school and beyond.

This week's guest, Darien Pyka, is a total powerhouse. She played college soccer at the Division 1 level, and now is the strength and conditioning coach at University of Southern California. Her coaching philosophy revolves around building the female athlete as a human first, and ensuring she moves well, nourishes, and manages stress so she can be the most powerful and strongest expression of herself in her athletic pursuits.
