This is a difficult issue to balance because people expect us to be over the top and screaming all the time. I'm asking that we raise the level of professionalism.

For the most profound results we need to train the area of the force velocity curve our athletes have spent the least amount of time on.

Our job is to be better than those coaches who let the kids believe football is life. Our job is to make sure these athletes leave us better than when they arrived.

Dr. Mann joins Dr. Lowery and Dr. Nelson to discuss the APRE and how the implementation of this protocol transitioned to velocity-based training.

I recently started going through some old boxes and found an article I printed and saved when I coached at Denison. The information was pertinent for coaches then and it still is now.

Change 'I' to 'we' and now you really have something: a team, with everyone working toward a common cause.

There is one simple rule to follow to circumvent many of the issues that cause animosity between the sport coach and the strength coach.

Life was meant to be lived, not read. Cars were meant to be driven, not parked. The harbor is safe, but a ship was meant to sail. Don't let articles and books convince you that you understand it all.

I spent a year of my master's in Michigan Technological University’s “Rhetoric Theory and Culture” program. The time spent in this field has made me a better coach with lessons all coaches can benefit from.

In this final video of the presentation, part four, Galac focuses on the importance of making modifications to training and staying focused while doing so.

Want to make it in this field? Want to stand out? Here are ten tips for all you fresh college grads and those of you that are starting your internships.

Moving into the finer details of the training layout, in this video Galac outlines the pre-workout preparation he uses for his team and the techniques and drills he uses to coach such a large group.

There are a lot of people that hold positions of power, but that does not mean they are true mentors. What does?

In part two, Galac moves to discuss his off-season, training camp, and in-season programming. He speaks about what it means to have a great plan and shares the training considerations vital to the success of the athlete.

For me, five big mistakes come to mind. I want to tell you how I learned from them and the steps I took to never make them again.

Some goals of strength and conditioning are obvious, such as a improving conditioning. Others, such as building a winning culture, aren't so obvious. This is how Galac approaches each of his staff's goals with the New York Jets.

Stepping outside 'the grind' of coaching has given Mark a different perspective on his career in strength and conditioning and the challenges that young coaches face. He shares his thoughts on this topic and more in Episode 77.
