Erica Lowrey and Ashley Kowalewski join Tim Riley on the coach em up podcast to break down how to increase vertical jump, fix jumper's knee, and survive the grind of collegiate athletics. The group goes deep on patellar tendinopathy in volleyball players, isometric exercises for tendon stiffness, eccentric overloading, and strength training for female volleyball players. They also tackle the real conversation around female athlete body composition coaching. And if you are a strength and conditioning intern or a young coach figuring out how to navigate your first role, the Q&A and intern advice segments in this episode are required listening.
