Tim Robinson was born into a "coaching & teaching family", and has found his own passion and love in coaching. After having worked in the Division 2 football world, has transitioned to helping coaches reach more athletes via the TrainHeroic platform. Tim and I sat down to talk about coaching and how to be the best coach you can be.

But our conversation went so much deeper than to be only for coaches, we went deep on topics that effect anyone who is involved in fitness, for themselves or others, and wants to leverage fitness to help them perform more optimally in their own lives. 

Perhaps the two biggest takeaways from this conversation:

1. Understanding how to communicate

2. Becoming a better listener and "interviewer"- as a coach, and human being. 

If you looking to become a better human being and coach, this episode is a must listen!

Erin Carson, whom many know as the coach at EC Fit Strength Boulder, is one of the few strength coaches in the endurance world who has been able to interlace strength, performance, and long-term athlete development for those she coaches of ALL ages and abilities. 

In this episode Erin and I talk a lot of the details of strength training for performance, and how it is very different than just picking things up and putting them down. 

In particular, we talk about how it takes time to get under load. This is something many endurance athletes and their well-meaning coaches miss, as they rush to add kilos to the bar or to load a movement...

It depends on your previous strength training and loading experiences. 

Just because you can produce force, doesn't mean that your tissues are able to handle those forces: For example, in 2019 there were 7 of top 20 men in pro triathlon has sacral stress fractures, due to tissues not being ready. Talk about a completely avoidable training related injury!

We cover this, and a number of other really important, but not oft talked about parts of strength training for endurance athletes, and how to program and progress for performance where it matters!

As endurance athletes, we tend to think that we are tough.... soccer (football) players, not so much...But what does it take to continue to keep fighting, building, and progressing, through the bigger setbacks life throws at you?

And then to have the Olympics delayed a year due to the pandemic?

Amber Neben sits down and shares with us her journey to becoming a World Champion and Olympian, where we dive into a number of topics that many don't talk about- from mental toughness and the struggles that help you become the best you can be (if you respond instead of react), as well as how faith and gratitude has been a guiding light for her over the years.

Why does everyone seem to think that it's just your stomach/ soft midsection?
