The Sport Science Education Podcast

In this episode, I talk with professional powerlifters Kristen Dunsmore and Garrett Blevins about intensity and how it affects periodization and programming decisions and the resultant physiology in powerlifting. We take interesting tangents into sex differences in training, long-term athlete development (LTAD) in strength vs endurance sports, and problems with training studies in the scientific literature.

In this episode, I have a conversation with one of my long-time mentors, Coach Meg Ritchie Stone. Coach Stone is a two-time Olympian, world record holder, and multiple NCAA DI champion in the discus and shot put. She was also the first female strength and conditioning coach and has helped pave the road not only for better female representation in coaching but for the strength and conditioning profession at large. She is also married to Dr. Michael Stone and together they still direct the sport science doctoral program at ETSU and run the Center of Excellence for Sport Science and Coaching Education. I hope that you'll enjoy this first episode of The Sport Science Education Podcast. Note: the audio didn't come across great during the interview. I'll keep refining my setup for future episodes! www.drjacobgoodin.com Timestamps: 00:00 - Introduction and the "why" behind this new podcast 04:58 - Meg's athletic journey, Olympic aspirations, and the importance of PE instructors and talent ID 08:08 - Competing against East German athletes and the lessons they taught her in physical prep & training 10:35 - Coach & early sport scientist Frank Dick and implementing periodization, weightlifting 13:14 - Faina Melnik (discuss WR holder) & Nadezhda Chizhova (shot WR holder) bench press display 14:37 - Meg's best strength numbers in the squat, bench, and clean 17:01 - Meg's proudest sporting achievements 17:51 - The impact of gender expectations on sport performance 19:59 - Being inducted into the Mt.
