Welcome to Project Offbeat! Lance and Matt here, just two corporate guys looking to expand their perspectives. We created this podcast to bring you "offbeat" stories, from guests with unconventional careers OUTSIDE the usual corporate setup. Are you ready to take the #OffTheBeatenPath?
Coach Reil Espino is the strength and conditioning (S&C) coach of the UST Growling Tigers basketball team. He also serves as an assistant professor in the Sports Science department at UST.
