Today we talked to Coach Michael Chatman, Head Strength and Conditioning Coach for Men’s Basketball and Golf at Stanford University. He takes a very commonsense approach with yet some very unique perspectives on the way he approaches training for his athletes.

In this episode, we discuss:

• Anti-Rotation and Plyometrics to improve rotational power
• Gary Gray 3D Analysis
• Getting athlete buy-in with small wins
• Meeting athletes where they are
• Importance of understanding ‘What’s your program and why’
• Advantages of the Front squat,
• The forgotten art of Work capacity
• Data, GPS, and a subjective spoken questionnaire
• Disciplining athletes with ‘First strike is a warning shot, and second shot you get shot’
• My personal favorite ‘Don’t worry about all the things, just know what you know’
• And so much more
