The Speed Podcast

We finally were able to get former Chicago Bear Nick Roach on our podcast. Before moving to San Diego, Nick had been a part of the TCBOOST family for over a decade. It was a pleasure to get him on to discuss his journey.

It was a pleasure having Devan McConnell on the podcast. Devan is the head sports performance coach at UMass Lowell. He is responsible for the oversight and development of all aspects of physical development for the Ice Hockey team, including strength, speed, and power development, energy system development, nutrition, recovery and regeneration, physiological monitoring, sport science, technology integration, as well as coordination of analytics, long term athletic development, and tactical periodization. In addition to this role, he is responsible for the physical development of the Field Hockey team.

When you speak with Emily Pappas, you don’t just hear the passion in her voice, you feel it too. She is the owner and founder of Relentless Athletics and it is a unique niche. Relentless is an all-female training facility that specializes in Olympic lifting for their athletes. This was a really fascinating talk and we learned a ton from Emily about working with female athletes. This is not a good listen; this is a great listen.

After having Brad Dixon on we wanted to strap on the pads and go play for him. Talk about a coach that has his players' best interest at heart. The way Brad approaches coaching it is no wonder he has been so successful on and off the field. This is a great listen about a guy who coaches a little differently than most coaches and really tries to understand how to help and get the most out of his players. Thanks for being a part of the podcast Brad!

The only thing better than hearing John O'Neil speak in person is hearing him on this podcast. It was a pleasure to have the Director of Performance at Cressey Sports Performance on to talk about his journey and his philosophy. If you want to know more about training baseball players, this is the podcast for you.

Scott Phillips may be the first reporter on our podcast, but he spoke like a true sports performance coach when it came to breaking down how basketball players move. Scott covers HS, College, and NBA basketball for NBC Sports and thanks to an old high school connection, we were lucky enough to have him on. If basketball is your jam, then this is for you.

We were lucky enough to have Ryan Banta reach out to us about wanting to be on our podcast and we got him on as soon as we could. It was a great conversation on his journey, coaching the current generation, importance of culture, lifting for track athletes, and a whole lot more. It would be an understatement to say Ryan is a respected coach who has a lot of knowledge to share. This is a great listen with a great message for athletes and coaches.

Back in October, we hosted the Beyond Strength Clinic with The Good Athlete Project. One of the highlights was having longtime client and all around great guy Charles "Peanut" Tillman on to discuss his life, his NFL career, and the Cornerstone Foundation. Not only is he a future hall of famer and arguably one of the greatest corners to play the game, but he has used his great career for a greater cause. This podcast is a must listen.

"You have two ears and one mouth and use them accordingly when you first start out." - Nick Benedetto. This is one of the most simple and best pieces of advice for new coaches starting out that we ever got on this podcast. Nick is the defensive coordinator for the University of Sioux Falls football team and he took some time out of his day to talk to us about his coaching philosophy and journey.

We were very fortunate to have Chris Korfis on our latest episode. Not that he needs an introduction, but Chris is a world-renowned speed expert who has coached high school football and track for some of the top high schools in Illinois producing dozens of all-state track athletes, He also owns the Slow Guy Speed School which is a gym that focuses on running and athletic development.
