This week I 'll be interviewing CrossFit’s very own, Cole Sager. Cole began his athletic career playing four years at the University of Washington as a running back from ’09-’12. In 2013 he began his CrossFit career, and the rest is history. Since then, Cole has finished 17^th, 7^th, and 5^th overall at the CrossFit Games from 2014-2016, and if that pattern holds, he may very well find himself on the podium at the ’17 Games. In this episode we will be revisiting his 2016 Regionals performance and diving into the mindset and preparation that got him to the level that we see him today. Join us as we discuss discipline, nutrition, and the ongoing search for the world’s best cinnamon roll! Enjoy the show.

I’m going back to my roots with Coach Tommy Moffit and Coach Eric Donoval, two of my former colleagues from the LSU Strength & Conditioning Staff.  In this episode, we’ll be diving into a lot of what makes LSU Strength & Conditioning so successful as well things like segmented training, “slow cooking” athletes, the new LSU program structure, and how they’ve been able to develop explosive strength in their athletes through triphasic training. Whether you’re new to strength & conditioning or an athlete looking for proven methodologies, this one is for you. If you like this episode, be sure to check out episode 3 with Coach Tommy Moffitt. Enjoy the show.
