Ep 586: Matt Vincent: Lover and HVIII-er
How can I describe Matt Vincent? While he’s crazy strong and built his reputation on being a Highland Games World Champion, he’s evolved. This is what we love so much about Matt. He’s an adventurer, a philosopher, and ever curious. Disproving the moniker of “meathead”, Matt’s always looking for ways to expand his mind and body in the most accessible ways. Get to know him in this week’s chat.
A conversation between John Welbourn and Matt Vincent is like a confusing, yet entertaining, web of deep thoughts, conspiracy theories, some legitimate strength and conditioning advice, and personal confessions. When you get two people like them, who are as curious about this rapidly changing world as they are, the discussion never disappoints.

Coach Davis believes we stand on the precipice of where intelligent training meets biological potential. Finally the responsible and effective S&C approach that high school athletes deserve.
We all have stories about the asinine training we received in high school. When the coach said “run” we ran…usually at distances that proved to be a detriment to our performance. Luckily, The Good Athlete Project’s Jim Davis has an optimistic outlook on where things are headed at the high school level.
