Warm Up The Bus
Grab your snacks and load up—it’s time to Warm Up the Bus!
Join Coach Strong and Coach Downs for honest conversations about high school sports, coaching life, and the lessons that stick with you long after the final whistle. From locker room stories and coaching debates to food challenges and plenty of laughs, these two coaches bring experience, strong opinions, and a sense of humor to every episode.
We tackle everything from accountability and motivation to sports parents, winning, losing, and what it takes to help young people succeed. Sometimes we agree. Sometimes we don’t. Either way, there’s always a story to tell.
Whether you’re a coach, athlete, parent, or sports fan, there’s a seat for you on this bus!
