LISTEN: An Interview 5 Years in the Making

Rob Taylor waited five years to interview Dave Tate. For some reason, it took that long to coordinate schedules, but last April, Dave was a guest on Rob's Smarter Team Training Podcast. Taylor has interviewed some of the best coaches and researchers in the industry and was generally honored to add Tate to that list. Taylor asked two very distinct and relevant questions during this thirty-eight minute interview:

Where does your passion come from?

How do you train others from a periodization standpoint?
