Episode #105 Meathead Monday: 3 Things Strength Coaches Should NEVER Do and Mini Q&A

August 17, 2020 • Gerry DeFilippo • Season 2 • Episode 105

In this episode Gerry begins with a discussion regarding scope of practice when it comes to strength coaches, athletic trainers and physical therapists.

There are certain things strength coaches SHOULD NOT do when it comes to their work with athletes and most of them involve things that physical therapists specialize in such as diagnosing, applying "stim," and performing manual therapy. Gerry also discusses when physical therapists and doctors should include or even defer to a strength coach.

From there, the discussion shifts to a mini Q&A covering areas such as how to build maintenance training around a sports schedule, conditioning, sprints and jumps for catchers, hypertrophy training, contrast training and MORE!

All that and more on this episode of Muscles and Management!
