Angelo Gingerelli has been a strength and conditioning coach for two decades and has worked with youth, collegiate and professional athletes. Gingerelli's background in powerlifting and Olympic weightlifting combined with his academic pursuits provided him with a solid background to work with traditional power sport athletes but was lacking when it came to training athletes specializing in longer-duration activities for the first decade of his coaching career.

This episode with Mark was awesome. We intended to talk a lot about speed development for hockey but we took a turn in the beginning and we stuck with it. Mark talked about the importance of “buy in” and how “we are in the business of helping people”. There are so many great points Mark made during this podcast. Make sure you are ready to take notes.
