  • Love!

    I admittedly found this pod because of Kelly Matthews, but I’m so glad I did! I love that Tim + guests care about science and do a great job of debunking trendy pseudoscience.

  • Thank you, Tim!

    I’m an S&C coach getting my Master’s in Education to break into the high school setting with 2 young kiddos & a former S&C coach/teacher husband who is now bed bound from a medication induced neurological injury. This podcast is one of the only things that can get me to still smile and laugh in the darkest season of my life. Humor was how my husband and I bonded & I really miss those moments. This podcast perfectly blends the best of the fitness/S&C industry & comedy. Thanks so much for all you’... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The State of Collegiate Sports & Basketball S&C | Q&A w ZACK ZILLNER | Ep. 132
Q: Should online coaches have three years of in-person experience before coaching online?
Three years is minimal; coaches should have substantial real-world coaching experience before moving online, as hands-on work builds the skill and judgment needed to coach effectively.
Change of Direction vs Agility & Perceptual Cognition with Q WILLEY | Ep. 127
Q: How should athletes progress through change-of-direction training in rehab or return-to-play?
Start with fundamental tissue-tocused work and controlled deceleration, move to level-two drills in constrained spaces, then to mid-range drills with more velocity, and finally to higher-velocity changes of direction and reactive elements, always ensuring sufficient tissue tolerance and coaching cues.
Change of Direction vs Agility & Perceptual Cognition with Q WILLEY | Ep. 127
Q: What is change of direction, and how is it distinct from agility?
Change of direction is a pre-planned, clearly defined manipulation of direction with a concrete plant and a set end task, while agility is more reactive to an opponent or game context; both sit on a spectrum, and training should bridge the gap between controlled deceleration and chaotic play.
The Science Behind PEDs, Steroids, Peptides, Hormones, & More | JON HECK | Coach Em Up Pod Ep. 125
Q: Can you talk a little bit about trend? What the fuck is tremolone?
Trend (trenbolone) has a notorious origin and is extremely potent; it can cause strong mood effects and side effects like night sweats and Trencough, and bodybuilders often use it late in a prep for cosmetic hardening, but it carries significant risks and is not a magic solution for physique or performance.
The Secret To Building World-class Speed with BRIAN KULA | Ep. 126
Q: What makes a great coach beyond X's and O's?
Relational ability, reliability, and resourcefulness are highlighted as crucial traits, along with the capacity to relate to athletes and motivate diverse personalities.
