I recently had the pleasure of being interviewed by Joe Heiler for his website, www.sportsrehabexpert.com.

The interview mainly centers around the concept I refer to as the “Physiological Buffer Zone” which is discussed in the DVD I did with Joel Jamieson and Charlie Weingroff, Strength in Motion.

Having been in this industry for almost twelve years now I always think back to the professionals older then I who were generous with their time to sit down, talk shop, and answer my questions. As a way to give back I always try to make time for individuals who want to meet up with me for a cup of coffee to talk shop, especially if they are younger coaches who are up and coming and hoping to get some questions answered.

Last week I had the pleasure of meeting with a young strength coach, Paul Fabritz, who is finishing up his bachelors degree at Arizona State University. Paul asked to meet me for coffee to ask me some questions about program design and energy system training. What was most impressive is that I didn’t even know I was being interviewed! Not once did Paul pull out a piece of paper to write on and he wasn’t recording anything either. We had an hour long conversation and he went home and wrote the answers to my questions out right off the top of his head!
