Ep. 295: REAL Coach-Athlete Relationships, Training Remotely, & 2025 Nationals | Red Gauge Crossover

Philosophical Weightlifting Podcast

Show Notes

Every episode of my podcast covers some aspect of training theory, coaching, psychology, and nutrition. Pretty much anything related to performance. With that comes a lot of abstract thinking and imagining how it would play out in practice. Until now...

In this crossover episode, Dani and I get interviewed by the Red Gauge podcast and discuss our coach-athlete relationship, remote coaching, and USAPL Nationals. We also get roped into playing the "Newly Coach" game, one of the funniest segments I've ever been involved with on a podcast.
