Mike might be a CrossFit box owner but he is far from your stereotypical CrossFit coach. Mike is one of the most knowledgable strength coaches I have ever come across and the results he has gotten from his body of work outside of his box is what stands out. In this episode, Mike and I discuss a wide range of topics including one of his biggest client successes of all time, our thoughts on CrossFit and of course, we talk training and ideologies of training. Please give us a review and let us know what you think!

After a massive game against Ferndale, Senior running back Dylan Carson and I sit down to our family's connection, some football and of course some training!

In this episode I introduce you to the program that's been a decade in the making, LEVEL UP. Its taken lots of trial and error to put this program together and here I introduce you to the strength standards I use on all my athletes.

Today I had the pleasure to have a conversation with one of my best friends, Jay Ashman. Jay is co-owner of Kansas City Barbell in Kansas City, Missouri and has been in the iron since the dawn of man. He has seen just about everything, tried just about everything and has done just about everything in the world of sports, including a tryout with an NFL team. Now Jay is a sought after strength coach, personal trainer and nutrition expert with a plethora of knowledge in the development of elite athletes. In this episode we talk about training high end athletes, what parents need to know about their children and how to support them not just on the field but in the kitchen as well. Jay talks fast, is very outspoken and loves his swear words, so if you don't like in your face information, well tough.

In the first episode of the Elite Athlete Development Podcast, host Chris Bartl talks about the what EAD is, the history of how it came to be and what you can expect from the podcast.
