Strength Training Podcast - Mod 9

The strength podcast http://www.strengthcoachpodcast.com/index.php?post_id=399173,

Is a continuing podcast that discusses a number of topics dealing with strength training, nutrition, injury prevention and rehabilitation. The narrator outlines topics in a discussion with some of the premiere strength training coaches in the country. In the podcast I chose, Mike Boyle who is a nationally recognized strength and conditioning coach and has worked with numerous teams in the NFL, NBA, NHL and Major League Baseball discusses his thoughts on many strength training topics. Other Podcasts with other notable trainers are also available to increase ones knowledge base in the world of strength and conditioning.

The Podcast is broken up into various episodes that are titled to detail the topics of discussion as well as who is responding to the questions by the narrator. This is a great way for coaches like me to stay on the cutting edge of training and nutrition with the student athletes I work with. It is also a way I can inform and teach staff about some of the new 'ideas' that are on the horizon that can help improve student athlete performance. As a physical education teacher, I can find new ideas that I can research and teach to my classes. I am able to learn more about nutrition and injury rehabilitation and pass on these new thoughts to my classes.

The ability to review and search for specific topics dealing with strength and conditioning, nutrition, and injury prevention is important for coaches trying to find new ways to get better. Finding new ideas and ways to teach important skills to student athletes and students alike to get better performance from there training workouts will allow coaches to improve participation and performance in there specific sport.

You have found what looks to be a great site for keeping up to date with the latest in the worlds of conditioning and nutrition. As in the field of technology, the information in these fields changes quickly so it is good to have ways to keep abreast of new developments in order to pass on good ideas to your students and student althletes.
