Description

What does it really mean to build better athletes—beyond sets, reps, and one-rep maxes? In this episode, Cory sits down with Cal Poly Pomona’s Head Strength & Conditioning Coach to explore the evolving world of collegiate performance training.

They discuss how DVRT has reshaped movement-based programming for Mike’s athletes, the importance of communication and trust in the coach-athlete relationship, and why adaptability matters more than ever when working with teams in and out of season. From developing buy-in to creating a strong culture in the weight room, this conversation offers a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to lead with intention and elevate the athletes you serve.

If you’re a coach, a parent of an athlete, or someone passionate about the “why” behind great training, this episode is for you.
