Physical Preparation with Gary Schofield

Gary Schofield is the head physical preparation coach at Greater Atlanta Christian, and a guy who is doing some really amazing work with his young athletes. In this episode Gary and I cover a ton of different topics including how he manages 409 athletes per day, his 5 principles for training, and what he means when he says athletes today are overspecialized and underdeveloped. Here's a brief overview of what we covered in this episode: * What got Gary into the world of physical preparation. * His overarching philosophy for training young athletes. * The 5 Principles he uses to guide his training programs. * What it means to be overspecialized, yet under generalized. * What a typical training session looks like (considering he only has 30 minutes to get it done)! * How an "average" day looks for Gary. * The ONE piece of advice he's give to young coaches in the industry. * Some insight as to what Gary is working on to improve himself as a coach. * The BIG Question. * An engaging lightning round where we discuss what coach he'd like to meet, favorite books, his biggest accomplishment as a coach, and one thing you can start doing, TODAY, to get better.
