Physical Preparation with Tony Gentilcore

Tony Gentilcore is one of the co-founders of Cressey Sports Performance and worked there as a coach from 2007-2015. He now runs his own studio in Boston called CORE where he still trains athletes and general population clients from all walks of life. I originally met Tony all all the way back in 2006, and it’s been awesome to see him grow and evolve over the years. It’s been a while since we’ve spoken, so in a lot of ways its like you’re listening in to a personal conversation between two friends. In this show Tony and I talk about how he got started in physical preparation, the shift from training young to adult athletes, and some of the special considerations he makes when training women. Here's a brief overview of what we covered in this show: * How Tony originally got into the world of physical preparation. * His current gig at CORE. * The shifts Tony has had to make from training teenage bros to adult athletes. * An overview of his training and coaching philosophy. * Tony's assessment process, and some of the things he emphasizes on Day 1. * How he takes that assessment information and uses it to build that first program. * An overview of how a standard training session looks, including the things he throws in to keep his clients engaged. * His thoughts on training women, and the subtle tweaks he uses to help them get the most out of their training. * The BIG Question (with a hilarious answer). * A fun lightning round where we discuss his obsession with his cat, his go-to song if he has to pull a PR, the books he's into, and what's up next for Tony G.
