This is your opportunity to put the rubber to the road by learning to apply evidence based training methods that are science tested and meathead approved. This course is an exciting, in depth, fun and practical 12 week learning experience where you will learn the programming fundamentals every strength coach, personal trainer, and meathead should know.

This course is designed to be accessible and valuable to anyone regardless of education level or prior coaching experience.

In it you will learn everything you need to know about the fundamentals of programming for success underneath the bar with a focus on the practical application of what to do, how to plan short and longterm, and you will lay a foundation that enables you to continue growing as a coach!

Together we will examine 5 course texts which teach you Anatomy, a wide range of movements and builds a practical foundation that is often missed. The texts also explore different ways to systemize and organize your ideas, which is complimented by an educational video series that helps you put everything together and really understand the topics you are learning.

Every other week for 12 weeks (two consecutive at the end) for a total of 7 virtual classes.

These classes will be recorded and you can refer back to them, and all of the course materials FOR LIFE.

To help you both demonstrate and cultivate your understanding and competency at the topics, a variety of guided learning exercises, projects and examinations ensure you are prepared to think through the complexities of real world situations with confidence.

There are so many great sources of information out there today, but often times programs either skip the academic or practical application side of things.
Just like coaching itself bridges the gap between science and application, this course bridges the gap and enables you to engage in guided thought exercises, discussions and independent projects that prepare you for the real world in a way that is typically only available in collegiate EXSS programs.
