I don't want anyone being offended by what any of us say, so I apologise in advance if some words in our conversation makes you uncomfortable, I dead ass can't cntrol what comes out these men mouths! Enjoy!

This week I'm back with Coach Kenn @_coachkenn We discuss some of our favorite albums that dropped this year, Lil Wayne bac on his grind, and the love for Tyler the Creator. We also discuss the weirdness of people getting hacked on instagram and how scamming appears to look fun, and some Cleveland catch up talk per usual.

On this episode, we talk once again with our good friend Coach Joe Kenn from Dynamic Fitness and Strength. When you get Coach Kenn and Coach Travis together – you know you’re in for a great discussion. So listen in to hear about the new LRU powerlifting team, how Coach Kenn trained the Panthers leading up to the Super Bowl, how the career of strength coaching is shifting with modern technology, and much much more.

Innovate and keep an open mind. Coach Joe Kenn is one of the preeminent strength and conditioning coaches in all of sport and is widely known for being the creator of The Tier System. The founder of Big House Power, Joe has been the recipient of the NFL Strength and Conditioning Coach of the Year, NSCA Collegiate Strength & Conditioning Coach of the Year and numerous other awards and titles earned along the way that would take up the entire show notes if I let them. Coach Kenn was most recently the strength and conditioning coach for the Carolina Panthers and today is VP of Performance Education at Dynamic Fitness Strength.   In today's show Coach Kenn sits down for a fun wide ranging conversation. He shares the untold story about the writing of his first book and why the initial pushback on his innovative approach to sport specific training almost stopped “The Coach's Strength Training Playbook” from happening. Recounts how growing up in a diverse part of Long Island may have contributed to one of his greatest gifts as a coach. Reflects on the important relationships and coaching experiences that shaped his approach to coaching.   In the latter half of the episode Coach Kenn provides an explanation of The Tier System and why he believes 30 years later it has stood the test of time. We talk through how other possible programs and methodologies can be applied within the Tier System. His philosophy on Split vs. Total Body Training for sport. Coach Kenn discusses the criteria he uses when discerning the best exercises for individual athletes. He offers his perspective on the power of a mantra and while above all else it's important to focus on being effective and efficient.   Mentioned In the Show: Books: Patrick Lencioni: The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable, The Motive, The Three Signs of a Miserable Job, Death by Meeting John C.

“We talk about all these, don’t start to early in sport specific training, be multi dimensional in your training for sports before you specialize. Really, it’s not different in strength and conditioning. I don’t think any of us, when we first started, necessarily were looking at it from the stand point of being a one sport strength coach. I think we all went into it going int thinking we were going to be the strength coach for a university or a high school or whatever setting. The evolution of what’s occurred is kind of interesting and it’s really changed the dynamics of our field moving forward.” Today we are joined by the Carolina Panthers Strength Coach Joe Kenn. This is an episode I’ve been hoping to get recorded for a long time because of the huge impact Joe has had on my career. Joe talks us though where his love of the weight room originated, his time at Wake Forest as a player, working in Ft. Lauderdale at Pine Crest prep school, back to Wake as a part time strength coach, 8 and a half years at Boise State, Utah (where The Tier System was validated to him), ASU, Louisville, and The Panthers. After we finish that Coach Kenn shares with us the three things he feels coaches getting into the game need to consider. This talk is so full of gems for younger coaches to understand what many of the coaches that they look at as icons went through to get to where they’re hoping to get in this profession.

Interview with Joe Kenn Part 2 Head Strength & Conditioning Coach Carolina Panthers Joe Kenn is undoubtedly one of the most influential strength and conditioning coaches in the industry.  The number of coaches that "House" has had an impact on stretches throughout the professional, collegiate, high school, and private sectors. Coach Kenn has been and mentor to me since I started reading his articles on elitefts™ and read The Coach’s Strength Training Playbook which outlines the Tier System; a system that I have used with my athletes with great success. Joe has become a friend and I am able to speak to him regularly.  I was honored to introduce him when he presented at the NSCA National Conference this past summer and privileged to be one of the first to review his new eBook: The Coach's Strength Training Playbook for Football before it was released.  Here is my review of his manual: In today’s saturated sports performance market, there are eBooks that surface left and right on various topics with an underlying motivation to make a profit. Most of these manuals turn out to be promotional platforms written by individuals who have never actually coached athletes in a team setting.  Real coaches want to cut through the creative formatting and flashy marketing without reading through another theoretical guide based not on anecdotal evidence but on personal beliefs.  This is not that kind of eBook. Make no mistake, Joe Kenn’s “The Coach’s Strength Training Playbook for Football: A Championship Program” is anything but watered-down and solely theoretical.  Coach Kenn opens the doors to an entire off-season of training in a detailed format.  This data was collected during the off-season training of a highly successful team in a BCS conference with a number of NFL drafted players.  No component of preparation was left undocumented including sets, reps, percentages, target times, and performance testing data. There is a reason Joe “House” Kenn is arguably the most decorated and influential strength & conditioning coach in the industry.  His attention to detail, straightforward guidance, and unwavering integrity is evident in every one of the 280 plus pages.  Coaches that truly want to help their athletes succeed on the football field and in the weight room will appreciate the effort and honesty of Coach Kenn’s writing.  This is the type of information that strength coaches covet and will flourish with.  A must read for any coach beyond the over-simplification of athletic performance. “The Coach’s Strength Training Playbook for Football: A Championship Program” is written from the sack. Words Win. It was an honor to do this interview, although it didn't feel much like one; more of a conversation that we have had many times before.
