Transcript

Your Strength & Speed program is only as strong as the buy-in from sport coaches. Even the best-designed training plan won’t succeed if coaches don’t understand its value. In this episode, we break down the most effective ways to communicate, collaborate, and build trust with sport coaches so Strength & Speed training becomes an integrated part of their team’s success.

Main Takeaways

Align Training with Sport Coaches’ Goals – Frame Strength & Speed training in a way that directly supports their team’s performance and success.
Make Training Adjustments Easy – Use flexible approaches like the Stoplight System to fit training into their schedule instead of disrupting it.
Involve Sport Coaches in the Training Process – When coaches feel like they have input, they are more likely to support and reinforce the program.
Build Trust Through Consistent Check-Ins – Small, regular conversations go a long way in strengthening relationships.
Be Their Go-To Resource for Athletic Development – Position yourself as someone who helps solve problems and enhances their program, not just as a coach running a weight room.
