“I said I’d never work in the NBA”
Coach Cory Schlesinger [@schlesstrength] joins us this week to talk about his 10 years of unique experiences working strength and conditioning at the collegiate level and about how he swore he’d never work in the NBA. Cut to…his role at the Phoenix Suns. His story is a reminder that it doesn’t pay to just blend into an organization and hope something happens to propel you into big programs like Wake Forest, Stanford, and University of Alabama Birmingham. While Cory has predominantly worked with basketball, he’s developed his own philosophy on the role of strength training within the sport. His theory may surprise you, but not as much as his taste in movies.
