They say that "a man's home is his castle". OK….. However, today I visited a man's home which was his weightroom! The home has several gyms with in the walls…and an addition that houses another gym. Even while taking care of culinary duties, one can still pump some iron….right there in the kitchen. Want to go out and sit on the deck? Forget it…. . there's training to be done there, too. That's the way it is when your Kim Wood. He's been involved in strength training and conditioning for decades. Yes, decades.
He started weight training as a youngster, training to become a better wrestler and football player. He then continued his training, behind the scenes, as a running back at the University of Wisconsin in the sixties….long before the fancy weightrooms and training complexes known to today's players.
Later, he worked for Arthur Jones, the legendary designer of the Nautilus machines. 
In 1975, Kim became one of the first strength coaches of professional football, when he was hired by Paul Brown of the Cincinnati Bengals. During that time, he was also one of the three principals who created the now, world famous, Hammer Strength machines.
He retired from the Bengals after 28 years with the team and was lucky enough to experience two Super Bowls along the way. He crossed paths with coaches Bill "Tiger" Johnson, Forrest Greg, Bill Walsh, Sam Wyche, Dick LeBeau…met with Woody Hayes and Bo Schembechler on several occasions, and trained many All-Pro NFL stars. 
Recently, he wrote a couple of chapters for Ellington Darden's latest book entitled "The New Bodybuilding for Old School Results".
Coach Wood's son, John Wood, didn't stray far from the strength training background that he grew up around. After his playing days as a University of Michigan football player, John ventured out into his own business 
known as Functional Hand Strength. Check out his site for some great strength training equipment and John's blog.
Kim Wood invited Ed Cicale and ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power into his "home" for a podcast interview that was recorded in his "A" framed training gym…slash… weight training museum (see photos). Today, April 20th, we'll post part one.On April 21st, we'll post Part two…then Part Three on April 22nd. Click on the little blue triangle to avoid long download times.

Checkout the exclusive ASAP Podcast interview with Cincinnati Oak Hills High School Basketball Coach Mike Price. Just click on the ASAP Podcast logo above
Today's post and podcast looks into the development of the high school basketball player. ASAP Athletic Strength And Power sought out the philosophy of the Head Basketball Coach of Oak Hills High School, located in Cincinnati, Ohio. The school is regarded as the largest enrollment high school in the state of Ohio. Mike Price has crafted a program that is the envy of many coaches as his teams are known for being tough, strong and well-conditioned. He is one of the first basketball coaches to realize the advantage gained from getting his players into the weightroom. Coach Price seeks to gain any competitive edge that's possible and sees to it that his players make strides toward that end.
He believes in a comprehensive year round training program and emphasizes increasing strength during the season…"not just a maintenance program". And, due to his total program, it's no wonder that many of his players have gone on to excel at Division 1 collegiate programs.
Coach Price's former players that are at NCAA Division 1 are Micheal Kramer at Central Michigan University, Steven Pogue at Miami University and Mike Bardo at the University of Akron.
Presently, Price even has his players doing some required reading besides what's given during a normal day at the high school. Their reading a book titled "The Fred Factor…How Passion in Your Work and Life Can Turn the Ordinary into the Extraordinary". …..once again, Coach Price looking to gain an edge!
Mike's list of "Coaches He Admires Most" includes Miami Redhawk's Charlie Coles, Kansas State's Bob Huggins, Ohio State's Thad Matta and Wake Forest's Skip Prosser
Coach Price accepts questions from players and coaches and can be contacted through his email address at price_m@oakhills.hccanet.org
Oak Hills High School is located at 3200 Ebenezer Road, Cincinnati, Ohio 45248
Thanks Coach Price and Good Luck in the coming season.
