And what a way to bring our Millionaires Club home. There are sporting legends… and then there are Australians who become part of the fabric of the country. Cathy Freeman is firmly in that second category. An Olympic champion. A world champion. An Australian icon. A trailblazer. A history-maker. And, importantly for us, a Howie Games favourite. Cathy’s original Howie Games appearance remains one of our most downloaded episodes ever, and now, as part of our 10-year celebration, we get to hear from her again. But before we get into the big stories, the big moments and the Cathy Freeman that the whole country knows… let’s meet the Cathy Freeman who loves a quiet day at home, a good movie, some broccolini and garlic pasta, and apparently has a serious appreciation for Little House on the Prairie. *** Follow the Howie Games on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thehowiegamespod/ Follow the Howie Games on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thehowiegames See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The conversation covers current adaptation reserve (CAR), protein synthesis, the sarcoplasmic reticulum, contractile and mitochondrial proteins, supercompensation, and the different cellular responses that occur when developing speed, strength, endurance, and speed endurance.But the practical message is much simpler: cut the noise.More training isn't automatically better training. Justin and Yosef discuss finding the appropriate dose of stress, giving athletes enough time to adapt, resisting the urge to constantly change programs, and understanding why high-intensity methods can't be used all the time.___Learn about CEUs to the NSCA and CSCCa:https://www.strengthcoachnetwork.com/pricing___Buy Supertraining to Read Along with Us - use code STRONGER20 to save 20%https://uaconcepts.com/product/supertraining___CONNECT:

What could the STRONG Act actually mean for strength and conditioning coaches?Rachel Newman, Marketing Manager for Customers and Community at TeamBuildr, joins Justin to break down why strength and conditioning needs its own SOC designation, what that could mean for salary and employment data, funding for personnel and professional development, and why coaches need to continue supporting the STRONG Act.They also discuss why the profession needs to unite around the title Strength and Conditioning Coach, how better federal data could help coaches understand career opportunities and compensation, and why this is a long-term investment in the profession.Most importantly, they don't just talk about supporting the STRONG Act — Justin calls his representative live during the episode.

Mike Woicik is one of the most accomplished strength and conditioning coaches in NFL history. Across 30 years in the league, he won six Super Bowl championships — three with the Dallas Cowboys and three with the New England Patriots — after beginning his career at Springfield College and Syracuse.Mike joins Justin to look back at the evolution of strength and conditioning through a career that spanned multiple eras of the profession.

In this episode of Supertraining in a Year, Justin Lima and Yosef Johnson cover pages 441–450 and dive into overtraining, recovery, and restoration — including the difference between general and local overtraining and why youth sport volume can create recovery problems that extend far beyond the weight room.They discuss why athletes don't always need to be fully recovered, how restoration should be periodized alongside training, and why repeatedly using the same recovery methods can become less effective. The conversation also explores how Soviet coaches approached massage, active recovery, psychological restoration, and other methods decades before many became popular today.Plus, Yosef explains why sleep remains the most important recovery tool available and why coaches need to help athletes become more self-aware instead of automatically reaching for another recovery modality.___Buy Supertraining to Read Along with Us - use code STRONGER20 to save 20%https://uaconcepts.com/product/supertraining___CONNECT:
