*SHOW TIMESTAMPS FEATURED AT THE END*

In this episode Gerry welcomes on Texas Tech Football Associate Strength and Conditioning Coach Brandon Howard.

To start, Gerry has Brandon walk through what shaped his early philosophies and principles as a strength and conditioning coach. From mentors, to coaches he has worked for, Brandon sheds light on the experiences he has had that have laid the foundation for him as a strength coach.

From there, the two discuss making strength and conditioning come to life in a team setting and what changes when you have to get a large group of athletes through a program. You quickly learn what "works," and what doesn't work.

To finish up, Brandon and Gerry discuss conditioning, strength in the presence of speed and how that affects training and programming, and much much more.

All that and more on this episode of Muscles and Management!
