In this episode, we sit down with Brad Jenisch of Prospect High School (Illinois) to talk about what happens when a coach sees a need and decides to build something from the ground up.

We cover:

How to solve the problem right in front of you
Overcoming stigma and outside perceptions
Betting on yourself and identifying gaps in athlete development
Why certain training doesn’t always carry over to sport
Applying Vermeil’s Athletic Development Pyramid and Bondarchuk’s principles in a high school setting
Recycling proven methods that work: conjugate training, max effort, dynamic effort, and repetition effort

Brad shares a refreshing perspective on coaching, showing how building culture, addressing real needs, and adapting timeless methods can transform a high school strength program.

If you’re interested in high school performance, coaching philosophy, or practical ways to bridge the gap between the weight room and the playing field, this conversation is for you.
