Oklahoma State named Clint Bowen as their interim DC after Todd Grantham was fired—and he's served in an interim role before also when he took over for Charlie Weis at Kansas, going 1-7 following the firing as interim head coachBowen had served as the head coach of Lawrence (KS) High School the last few years before joining Mike Gundy's staff last year, and he told media that being a high school head coach is tougher than any interim job at any level---saying it's a 24/7 job, you're raising money to buy shoes, raising money to buy food, trying to get equipment money raised, and taking kids home/meeting with parents.

Utah State defensive coordinator Nick Howell

USU DC Nick Howell | OC Kevin McGiven USU OL coach Mario Acitelli Final thoughts

Today's guest is Michael Zweifel. Michael is the Defensive Coordinator and Defensive Backs Coach at UW–La Crosse, now in his fourth season with the program. He previously founded Building Better Athletes (BBA Performance) in Dubuque, Iowa, training athletes from youth to pro levels. Michael also coached at Clarke College and the University of Dubuque. A former record-setting wide receiver, he won the 2011 Gagliardi Trophy and still holds the NCAA all-divisions career receptions record (463). In athletic development, the “5 S's of performance”: Strength, Speed, Stamina, Suppleness, and Skill are often brought up. What tends to be the case is that those 5 elements are weighted in that order, with skill mentioned, but rarely or ever studied in how to improve it. On today's show, Michael discusses his own creative approach to skill development in American football players with an emphasis on building artistry and adaptability in his players. He speaks on the nature of constraint-based coaching that helps athletes improve their arsenal of movements on the field, as well as their decision-making skills amid chaos. We also touch on the crossover between basketball and football, and ultimately, the art of long-term development of skill in one's sport and as an athlete in general.

College athletes can handle more volume and complexity, but the fundamentals still matter. What to try: Prioritize clean movement and buy-in over complexity in high school settings. Introduce more autonomy and load management with college athletes. Don't assume physical maturity—meet athletes where they are. Balancing Strength and Movement Skill in Team Settings – [5:03] It's not just about chasing strength numbers. There's value in seeing how strength integrates into movement, especially in large team environments. What to try: Cycle in movement tasks—like crawling, balancing, or landing—in warmups and finishers. Use strength work to support athletic expression, not just output. Keep the athlete's sport in mind—strength is a tool, not the goal. Developing the Skill of Lifting in Young Athletes – [11:09] Lifting isn't just strength—it's a skill. For youth athletes, you're teaching how to move with awareness under load. What to try: Start with basic isometrics and bodyweight patterns to teach control. Add load only when position and rhythm are reliable. Use slow eccentrics and pauses to reinforce stability. Rethinking Readiness: Performance vs. Output – [15:34] Readiness isn't just about lifting heavier or running faster—it's about how an athlete moves and feels. Output is one piece, not the whole picture. What to try: Include subjective readiness check-ins before training. Look for signs of fluidity, control,
