 EPISODE162bYOUR ASS GETS COACHED

If this episode doesn’t want to make you return to your high school or college weightroom and confront your strength coach for robbing you of the best years of your life, nothing will. Jim Kiritsy [@ksu_fb_strength] joins us all the way from Georgia to talk about the amazing culture and program he’s started at Kennesaw State University. With a little funding and a lot of commitment, this football strength and conditioning coach is pioneering a brand spanking new program rivaling that of his seasoned competitors.

Kiritsy has that special quality of a coach that you can not only hear in his voice but infer from his comments. Everything he does is for the betterment of the team and the athletes. He believes his staff is trained thoroughly to coach and not merely spot and act as cheerleaders. He believes good movement, hard work, and smart programming can cure virtually any performance shortcomings. AND he doesn’t do anything unless it serves a purpose. Brilliant.

Have a listen as Coach Kiritsy leads you down the path of enlightenment. If you’re a high school or college weight room assistant, get your hands dirty and start leading athletes by simply coaching. Because without coaching there is no accountability and without accountability there is no enthusiasm for the win.
