In this episode of the Champion Living Podcast, Doug sits down with coaches Logan Corbett and Megan Walker to break down what the off-season should really look like for rodeo athletes.

From rebuilding strength foundations to developing power, mobility, and injury resilience — the team covers the full roadmap for setting up a successful season ahead. They dive deep into progressive overload, proper movement mechanics, and how to structure training phases that actually translate to better performance in the arena.

The coaches also tackle one of the biggest myths in western sports — that strength training makes female athletes bulky — and explain why it's one of the most misunderstood areas in performance training.

Topics Covered:

The purpose of the off-season and how to rebuild your base

Why progressive overload matters more than volume

How to transition from strength → power safely

The role of mobility and recovery in staying injury-free
