Cheeky Mid Weeky

Strength Coach Network is bridging the gap from the class room to the weight room. This is why we are where Strength Coaches come to learn. In fact we bridge the gap from 📚 to 🏋️‍♂️ so well we have members all across athletics. How do we do this?

Strength and conditioning in athletics SHOULD be exciting. Yet too many people make it dull and boring. We are not sure why this is the case - working with professional and collegiate athletes is awesome! In this show from Strength Coach Network, join Dr. Justin Lima as he talks with experts in the field of strength and conditioning.

Dr. Lima has been working in college athletics since 2009 after his athletic career ended. Since then he has worked in college sports at Big 10, ACC, Ivy League, and more helping hundreds of athletes while placing some into professional careers. He also earned his PhD in Health and Human Performance and Masters in Strength and Conditioning.

Each week he is joined by coaches who make their living working in the field of strength and conditioning. On the show we dive into the world of working in professional and collegiate sport - but make it interesting! Yes we dive into the science of exercise, our spin on it makes it digestable for everyone to understand how elite athletes are able to perform.

So be cheeky and indulge on this conversation in the middle of each week, and learn how the best athletes prepare for GameDay.

Great Pod So Far!

I’m only a few episodes in and it’s already a great resource! I love listening to podcasts talking shop during my long commutes, and I can’t wait to continue this one.

First time listener - great experience

I appreciate the info I heard because they spoke in a way that was relatable and honest which created value.

SCN Is Awesome

Being a recent graduate learning exercise science, SCN podcast helps me bridge the classroom portion and apply it to my athletes based on their individual weakness. It is great to hear other great coaches in the field talk about the successes, failures and tips and tricks for programming and coaching!
Coach 8ubs

Great resource‼️

Located on the island of Kauai, in Hawaii, it is difficult to find resources with objective and sound information relating to the field of S+C. The podcast provides a resource for coaches of all ranges, obviously myself.
Shamnoll

Great stuff

I actually listen to Dr. Lima talk on a different podcast which led me to here. I love that this resource is available for those of us in the field working hands on with athletes. You can learn a lot in school, but bridging the gap between theory and practice can be a tough one. This is an amazing resource to do just that.
Ghost Meek

Great podcast!!!

If you are looking for unbiased, sound, and informative content, look no further! SCN is one of the best podcasts to dive into for all things Strength & Conditioning. It’s people like this who help the industry grow and thrive!

Very knowledgeable. As a strength coach, I love listening to Justin and any of the many awesome guests he brings on the show. Definitely give it a listen.
Gggggmmmmooonnnneeyyy

New Subscriber

I’ve listened to Justin Lima on the Just Fly Podcast and really liked listening to him. Dove deeper, and I found a post saying he’ll send a free template/coaching guide if you rate/review his podcast on apple and Spotify. Will be listening and digging deeper into what he offers, and will try out the 1x20 lifts myself and see how they go.
kfneoxncusksnducj nck

I’m a Subscriber

SCN does a good job of bringing in quality guests with expertise in a number of different areas. They also do a nice job of talking Xs and Os but also covering administrative or off the floor topics, as well. I’ve gleaned a lot of insight on topics that had never even really entered my mind and therefore would’ve had me unprepared. Big fan
Pete arroyo

Class act

Since taking over the SCN Justin has brought his class act while staying down to earth. What’s more so the information is deeper and brings life to the life of S&C coaches everywhere. Be it from good practices, to new approaches, nods to the old School guys that paved the way, & of course the how to live your life outside of the training hall. The CMW is something I religiously look forward to every week.
cmik101

This is incredible for anyone and everyone that wants to level up in their progression (s&c, physical therapy, athletic training). It’ll give you both some answers but also it’ll force you to ask better questions of your own process and knowledge. Can’t recommend it enough
