Ep 483 – Why Coaches Quit w/ Logan Gelbrich

By John / April 20, 2021 /

Waves of beach-bod fads, special high-intensity interests, and outlaw programs take the industry by storm seasonally making starting a career in this field a…

Overlooked Upshots of Playing NCAA DIII Athletics

By John / April 26, 2020 /

On any given Power Athlete Radio podcast, you’ll hear the phrase “Division III All-star” thrown around.

“You just can’t blow opportunities like this. You’ve just got to take advantage of the great things when they come. It’s been a long road to get here. Some ups, some downs, but I never gave up. I kept pushing and kept believing. I always believed that I could play in this league. It’s just…
