Getting Sport Coaches to Buy Into Your Strength Program | Ross Garner Interview Sport coaches hate your strength program. Most high school strength coaches struggle to get sport coaches on board with their training. Without coach buy-in, athletes don't take the weight room seriously and results suffer. Many strength coaches try impressing sport coaches with fancy data and showing up to every game. These tactics backfire because they focus on proving worth instead of building partnerships. The solution is asking each coach what they want to see in training sessions. In this episode, Ross Garner shares his exact system for getting every sport coach at his Texas high school bought into his strength program. He reveals how he manages 1,200 athletes across multiple sports and maintains strong relationships with all his coaches.
