Break The Bad Coach Cycle
Vernon Griffith [@vernongriffith4] sees coaching as an opportunity to provide athletes the leadership and direction that he lacked as a youth athlete himself.

Currently Griffith operates Virginia High Performance [@VirginiaHighPerformance] and works with an array of civilians and veterans utilizing a scientific approach to training. Hear about what makes his facility unique and why his approach is yielding incredible performance. Also, an above average amount of Megan Fox conversation. Yep, this podcast has something for everyone.
