As I was writing 40 Years with a Whistle, I laughed a few times out loud as my past kept flashing before my eyes. “All in all, this wasn’t a bad life, but I would prefer to live a bit longer” This book has been ruminating in my brain for a while. In 2011, I popped open my first lifting journal from 1971 and realized I had been keeping track of my workouts for 40 years. So, I wrote a two-part article on the lessons I had learned (Part One, Part Two); very simply, it was 40 lessons from 40 years. Last summer as I was coaching next to a throwing cage at St. Mary’s in Twickenham, London, a local coach asked me how I could “see all of this.” I responded, “Well, you know, I have been doing this for…” It took me a minute to figure out that I had been standing in fields, yelling in weight rooms and making half-time adjustments for the past 40 years. Maybe it’s my background in religious studies and education, but 40 years always seems to get my bells ringing. Walking back to my place that night, I kept trying to figure out how the 40 years had gone by so fast. In a flash, so to speak. Everything coalesced when Ron McKeefery asked me to write the introduction to his book, Weight Room Wisdom. As I thought about wisdom in the weight room, it was obvious that my coaching methods came directly from Dick Notmeyer and the Pacifica Bar Bell Club. But there was more to Dick than just reps and sets. He was a master storyteller. I was going through a rough time at home and his stories always showed me the path, the route, to success. Showing up every day, getting the work done and avoiding stupidity would lead ultimately to success in all areas of life. I have discovered no better truism in my life. Writing the introduction to Ron’s book made we want to tell more stories about other mentors who shaped my career. I began to dig into my past and I realized how many people have coached me. Literally, a coach is something that carries one from here to there. I have been carried many times in my life through bad times and disasters. I have arrived successfully many times and I needed to make sure I thank those who got me there.   About Dan John Dan John has spent his life with one foot in the world of lifting and throwing, and the other foot in academia.

[jbox color="grey" radius ="2"] The Momentous Minute with Tim Caron Today's Momentous Minute is with Tim Caron, the owner of Allegiate Gym and performance engineer at Momentous, the sports nutrition company on a mission to clean up the supplement industry. Today's question is do we really need to supplement with protein sources like protein powders and why? Tim Caron: We wish we lived in a perfect world where the reality is we can get all of our protein needs met by food. The unfortunate thing is we don't. People are busy, athletes are on the go, if your training goal is always to be in a net positive in regards to your amino acid pool, but it's also really hard to get a full complete meal after your workout. Now when we're looking at post-workout, a really big benefit in terms of recovery is having bio-availability and actual proteins that digest quickly. Things like whey protein and plant-based protein, they actually digest quicker and in terms of getting your amino acid pool replenished to be in net positive in terms of overall protein, so you can build muscle. Protein supplements do make a big impact. If we're really trying to get the maximum out of our training, we need to make sure that we're having the recovery aspect dialed in afterwards. And just having a convenient, useful tool to get that protein need met, that does make it necessary. [/jbox] Get value from the podcast? Then, please take a minute to review the show.

McKeefery was named the Collegiate Strength Coach of the Year in 2008 and 2016, and has had the privilege of working with over 80 players that have gone on to play in the National Football League (NFL). In addition to a successful coaching career, McKeefery is also the best-selling author of “CEO Strength Coach.”Find Ron on Twitter: @rmckeefery | Find Scott on Twitter: @scottcaulfieldShow Notes “I’ve gotten so much more out of it than I could ever give to anybody.” 3:19“I went to [my first] conference and literally talked to one person.” 5:40“There’s a big difference between Coach Mac and Ron McKeefery. They’re two totally different people.” 6:03“You don’t have the time to build really meaningful relationships in your own life, you’re so focused on your athletes’ lives.” 8:16“Going to conferences and events and participating is a way to surround yourself with like-minded people.” 8:35“Fortunately we have lots of different people who are doing some great things, that are putting on events, that you should be able to get to something.” 12:20“I think the biggest challenge in our profession is making it so strength coaches retire being strength coaches.” 13:21“We need to find ways to grow our profession.” 15:01“We should be focused on getting a strength coach in every high school.” 16:19“We need to be creating a degree in strength and conditioning specifically.” 17:07“I want to be called ‘Coach.’ That’s something that really resonates with me.” 21:27“The biggest thing that strength coaches can bring to sports medicine is that accountability—they have the ability to hold the athlete more accountable.” 28:03“We have complex problems so we try to provide complex solutions... the challenge is to think of the simplest way to correct a problem.” 32:19“Your athletes are never going to love the weight room as much as you do. You just have to provide the framework for an accountable program and make sure you enforce that consistently.” 35:30“If we can coach coaches, I don’t think there’s any higher calling than that.” 37:44“As a leader, you need to have a giving heart.” 38:21The Power of Vulnerability: Teachings on Authenticity, Connection and Courage, by Brene Brown. https://www.amazon.com/Power-Vulnerability-Teachings-Authenticity-Connection/dp/1604078588. 47:45

On this episode, we talk with Ron McKeefery. He's not only an incredibly well-known and influential strength coach, but he's a successful business person and podcaster. And interestingly, business and podcasting has taught him a lot about how to be a better coach.

This week’s guest is Ron McKeefery, vice president of performance and education at PLAE.  Ron is also the author of “CEO Strength Coach”, a bestselling manual for coaches on the art of being a technician, manager and entrepreneur in the field. Ron has been a part of Just Fly Sports through a text interview in the past, where he answered questions on all facets of the career track of strength and conditioning, such as aspects of the profession not learned in school and the personal qualities required for success in the field. Ron’s background in the field is extensive and covers all facets of the industry, from the NFL and MLB, to training special forces, as well as several long stints in the NCAA.   One thing I’m learning more and more is that long-time strength and conditioning coaches are some of the wisest human beings I know, and Ron’s answers in this particular show are a testament to that. Today we are chatting on topics of the career track of sports performance, ideas on team culture, perspectives and reflections on Ron’s own career, and much more. I’m excited to bring you this episode, since I believe that it builds on another fantastic show we did a few months back with Mark Watts, which was about the professional aspects of the field we know as strength and conditioning/sports performance.  Lots (and I mean lots) of people want to get into this profession, but do they know what it takes, not only to get a job, but to make a career out of it, and actually “retire as a strength coach”? (not many people do) Today’s episode is brought to you by SimpliFaster, supplier of high-end athletic development tools, such as the Freelap timing system, kBox, Sprint 1080, and more. Key Points: Ron’s background in the coaching industry Advice for coaches in terms of work-life balance Qualities of someone who can make it in the sports performance progression What the sports performance profession needs for better job stability The role of the modern strength coach in conditioning and “mental” toughness Approaching the balance of utilizing corrective exercise and sport science into the performance program Creating buy-in and optimizing team culture The hardest thing Ron has been through in his S&C career One piece of advice Ron would give to his younger self Quotes: “As a young coach, you end up having to make a decision at some point, as to what you are willing to sacrifice to attain your goals” “Do you have both feet in?  If you just have a toe or a foot, you’re not going to make it (as a coach)” “You’re going to have these periods of transition, and the fact of the profession is that it’s not “if” but “when” you’re going to get fired in this field.  You have to be able to support your family and do all those things, and if you don’t have skill sets to be able to sustain that, or multiple streams of income, that’s where entrepreneurship comes in to be able to sustain those things in other ways” “There’s a big difference between being credentialed and being qualified (for a strength and conditioning job” “I ask people what is their unique selling proposition, their USB (to get in the industry)” “If we make (the weightroom) laboratory like, come in, here is your workout card, you are expected to know why this is important, and then leave… we lose the passion and the energy and the why of what we are doing” “(The term corrective exercise) I don’t like because it implies that the rest of the exercise we are doing is not corrective” “It takes a certain type of person to be of any merit in this profession” “You can be passionate without being emotional.  As young coaches, we want to show how passionate we are, so we give an emotional response.” About Ron McKeefery Ron McKeefery is the vice president of performance and education for PLAE.
