This week a legend joins John and Tex to talk about his history training track and field sport athletes. Dan Pfaff stumbled into the this niche after coaching at the high school level, then college, and eventually began training Olympians. His voice and command presence reflects the seasoned coach he has become after decades working with athletes.    Dan Pfaff was doing med ball work and plyometric complexes long before it was popular. He credits athletes of antiquity and isolated athletes with the creativity of these training tools. It was his passion for researching power based programs that led him to successfully train track and field athletes all the way to the Olympics…and he’s still doing it.    Shownotes: https://pahq.co/Ep576 7 Day Risk Free Power Athlete Training Trial: https://pahq.co/Train Check out what we do:   Website - https://powerathletehq.com/ Podcast - http://pahq.co/PARadioSpotify Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/powerathletehq Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Happy New Year Power Athlete Nation. This week we’re bringing back Michael Matthews to discuss his new book, Muscle For Life. There is no question that the guy knows how to get people fit, but this book is even more geared to the 40 and over crowd, which, lets be honest, can struggle with maintaining muscle and staying lean. But of course, no PA conversation would be complete without some covid coverage and philosophical banter.    Michael Matthews wants you to have Muscle For Life. Not just the young go-hards, but the middle aged folk who’ve maybe let training take a back seat to their other responsibilities. His simple yet effective approach is what makes him appealing to the masses. You don’t have to be a so-called “athlete” to see results.

How can I sum up this episode? Well, Brett Bartholomew is basically in the drivers seat of a vision quest to be the best coach, person, leader, human, you want to be.

It’s the guidance you’ve been looking from a guy who has done the research.    Brett Bartholomew is the author of Conscious Coaching and founder of Art of Coaching. He also has a thick beard and a raspy voice…so yes, he meets the universal coaching criteria. But this leader holds more than just a stopwatch. His expertise lies in communicating with athletes to achieve the best positive result. How, you ask, does he accomplish this? Tune in.

Tex talks with Kev Toonen and Owen Franks about the sport’s transition through COVID and the challenges that presented. This amazing discussion gives us insight into the culture, leadership, training, and growth of a team from both player and coach perspectives. And, never underestimate the power of shittalking.

It’s a testament to the dedicated players and supporters that teams made massive sacrifices to keep the sport alive.

What do great coaches do at halftime? Make adjustments. Coach Mike Hill joins Tex for a bookclub discussing Bob Buford's book, Halftime.
