by Zach Even - Esh Leave a Comment

 STRONG Life Podcast ep. 253 with Joel Smith.

This was a powerful podcast as we dug deep into ALL things Speed Training along with the ins and outs of the Strength Coach profession.

Joel has been a Coach at the D3 and D1 University level and now in the private sector.

Joel is also the author of the book, Speed Strength.

We broke this podcast into 2 parts

Make sure you connect with Joel HERE.

Here are some of the topics we cover in this episode:

  • The start of Joel's strength & conditioning career at the college level as well as online with his website
  • Joel's journey from coaching as well as the hiring process from D3 to D1 (similar to my experiences, where I never applied for the collegiate coaching positions)

  • Lessons learned in Coaching track & field athletes from outside sports / coaches such as swimming
  • The Unique training programs of the swimmers that inspired Joel in his coaching methods
  • Looking at the feet, ankles and knees when assessing athletes
  • "Transfer of Training" is a term thrown around a lot, Joel and I dig into this concept on both physical and mental levels

  • Speed Training with and with OUT the use of weights
  • Technique in the vertical jump, various squats and sprint technique

  • Joel's 5 day program for training athletes that he currently uses at the private sector

In Part 2 we discuss the following topics:

  • Speed Training in the Weight Room
  • Sprinting for Non Field Athletes such as Wrestlers, Swimmers, etc.
  • Coaching Athletes with LESS Instruction & LESS Feedback?
  • Coaching Athletes Differently According to their Mental / Emotional State
