In this week's Q & A, John and Chris explain the difference between Strength Training and Training for Sport. As coaches our job is to help athletes prepare for their sport; not pursue their powerlifting and bodybuilding goals.

As coaches we've collectively failed these athletes. We need to fix this and do right by our athletes.
