  • ASAP Podcast with Toledo Rockets Dir. of Football Strength & Conditioning Brad Bichey

    Coach Candle and Brad Bichey

    Toledo Head FB Coach Jason Candle with Coach Brad Bichey

    For this ASAP Podcast, we traveled I-75 just about to its Ohio-Michigan border, crossed over the Maumee River to the University of Toledo. it's a pretty cool looking campus because just about all of the buildings are constructed with the same Indiana limestone. In fact, much of the football stadium, called the Glass Bowl, utilizes the same rock. Great looking college campus. And a couple of miles away is where our nutritional fuel-up took place…. a little place called Scrambler Marie's. And that's where to go for a really great breakfast. REAL. And that's the way we keep it on our ASAP Road Trips. While speaking with Brad Bichey, the Rocket's Head Strength & Conditioning Coach for Football, decorations that included hearts and flowers and chocolates were all being cleaned up and put away. Coach Bichey and his staff had just celebrated Valentines day with the football squad! A special workout just for the players. It's a little workout plan that he picked up off one of his coaching mentors, Ohio State's Mickey Marotti.

    One note of interest,  the Toledo Rockets started "spring" practice much earlier than normal his season… it all kicked of on February 14th this year… an early jump out of the blocks this year!

    For today's podcast, brought to you by TEAMBUILDR just click the PLAY button to hear all about it…and about the training program used by the Toledo Rockets. Also, take note of the squat tips that Coach Brad Bichey gave out! 

    And, this was not our first trip to see Coach Bichey at Toledo…. here's the blogpost, video and pics from that trip!

  • ASAP at Clemson Football Strength: Pics & Podcast with Coach Larry Greenlee

    Larry GreenleeOur next stop lead us to Clemson, South Carolina. The home of the Clemson Tigers, runner-up to last year's National Championship, it's also the home (actually Pendleton, S.C.) of the Smokin' Pig BBQ! Plan accordingly though if you want to enjoy this great place, it's only open on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. They spend the other days prepping for those three days! This may have been the best brisket ever. It's a must stop for BBQ lovers and lots of pure protein for a post training meal. While you are there, treat yourself to the Sweet Potato Crunch. One word: WOW

    Prior to helping The Smoking Pig open up, we spent the morning with the Clemson Tigers! That included watching the squad load up on the shuttle from the stadium strength training complex over to their indoor. We also got to see some of the construction site of the new football complex, which is set to become the most incredible environment in all of college football. They are not leaving anything out with this configuration. The team went through a series of dynamic warm-ups and then moved to many of the assessments used to measure football speed and agility. The strength staff recorded all of the data as the team, which appeared FOCUSED, zipped through the tests.

    From there, it was back onto the shuttle for the quick ride back to Clemson Memorial Stadium…. known to many as "Death Valley". That's where the Tigers went into to strength training mode and Head Strength Coach Joey Batson and his staff that includes his long time assistant, Larry Greenlee directed and coached one of college football's elite programs. These two have been training Tigers together for over 16 seasons. We were able to sit down with Coach Greenlee, set up our remote location recording studio and talk 'training' with the coach who also is a Clemson graduate and former athlete there, too.

  • ASAP at the University of South Carolina Gamecocks with Coach Jeff Dillman

    6a00d83453dfa869e201b8d20face5970c

    Head S&C Coach Jeff Dillman

    ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power made the visit to Columbia, South Carolina this summer to check in on their new director of Football Strength & Conditioning Jeff Dillman.  After we caught a quick breakfast sandwich at Bojangles, we headed over to the University of South Carolina's Brice-Williams Stadium, a towering place that's typical of the huge stadiums encountered in SEC Football. The Gamecocks' football strength training center is located at the north end, just a few yards from the palm trees and a line of Cockabooses that are a huge hit with the tailgating crowd on gameday. 

    It was warming up outside that day as the mercury cruised up toward 99 degrees! But the heat didn't affect Coach Dillman…nor the Gamecocks as the session began within the spacious football strength complex . The players filed in and before long the strength staff had it all at full tilt as the players hit their stations and the training began. Meanwhile, the nutrition staff prepped workout recovery drinks, vitamins and hydration options for this SEC squad that opens up at Vanderbilt University in just a few weeks.

    After the workout, Coach Dillman and I slipped into his strength office, which I had turned into a makeshift recording studio, for this candid interview. I was also able to snag a few pieces of bubble gum that's piled high in an official South Carolina Gamecocks bucket. We discus that and the training that has been going on at South Carolina Football:

  • ASAP at Georgia State Panthers in Training Pics + Podcast

    6a00d83453dfa869e201b7c883e64c970b-300wi

    Coach Holsopple(Right) Ted Lambrinides and The ATL

    ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power finally got to Atlanta to see the new and upgraded facilities at Georgia State University Football.  The Head Strength & Conditioning Coach, Scott Holsopple, is quite pleased with the way things turned out and has nothing but positive vibes about how the Panthers are progressing as they make their way toward their opening game against Ball State.  

    Georgia State University is located right in the heart of downtown Atlanta and is home to around 50,000 students! So by enrollment numbers, it's the largest college in Georgia. The athletics program is a member of the Sunbelt Conference and the Panther Football squad won their first bowl game last year after only 6 years of existence. Not bad. And with Coach Holsopple, the Panthers won't find a more dedicated coach. In fact, he stations himself in a loft apartment just a mile or two away from the facility….an easy jaunt for he and his Alaskan Husky. And he already has a grasp on the dining scene in downtown. Let's start with his great suggestion of catching brunch at Ria's Bluebird…where The New York Times Review rated their pancakes as "world's finest"…… They were! I am already planning a trip back for more.

    Coach Holsopple joined us a few months ago for an ASAP Podcast that was recorded at the Hammer Strength Clinic Battleground Academy Tennessee. In this fresh podcast, Scott discusses his background, what's going on at Georgia State Football, their brand new strength training center, the conditioning workout that we observed , and the progress the team has made as they prep for the 2016 season. By the way, the weather that day was typical Atlanta, Georgia summer hot. HOT.  And Holsopple was sporting a heavy duty Georgia State hoodie along with just as thick sweat pants. With the athletes sweating profusely all around, and myself, from time to time, ducking into the facility for a cold drink a quick hit of air conditioning, the coach never wavered. But that's Coach Holsopple!
