Talkin' Pitt #61 Dr. Dillion Martinez - Speed Development, Sprint Mechanics & Coaching Communication
In this episode of Talkin’ Pitt, Coach Young sits down with Dr. Dillon Martinez to dive deep into the world of speed development, sprint mechanics, and coaching communication. From breaking down the myth that “speed can’t be taught” to discussing how coaches can create faster, more resilient athletes, this episode is packed with practical takeaways for strength coaches, sport coaches, and anyone interested in athletic performance. Dr. Martinez shares the story behind his book Breaking the Speed Barrier, how his father shaped his philosophy on sprint training, and why teaching speed is just as important as teaching strength. The conversation also covers sprint technique, agility vs. change-of-direction, max-velocity training for field sports, hamstring injury prevention, isometrics, coaching cues, athlete confidence, and the importance of communication and feedback in coaching. Whether you work with track athletes, team-sport athletes, or just want to become a better coach and communicator, this episode delivers a ton of actionable insights in a simple, relatable way.

Talkin' Pitt #60 Ashley Kowalewski - LSU - Freedom in Programming: Isometrics, Load Management, and Coaching Evolution
In this episode of Talkin’ Pitt, Devin sits down with LSU’s Coach AK to dive deep into the evolving landscape of strength and conditioning, challenging traditional norms and exploring innovative approaches to athlete development. Coach AK shares why she’s currently most excited about implementing year-round isometrics, discussing how overcoming, yielding, and quasi-isometric methods can improve athletes' health, performance, and adaptability within a system. The conversation explores how coaches can balance evidence-based principles with real-world constraints such as facility limitations, training age, and time demands. Devin and Coach AK discuss the value of being open to professional pushbacks, why differing coaching philosophies can coexist, and how curiosity drives growth within the field. From experimenting with eccentric overload methods to rethinking the necessity of traditional 1RM testing and Olympic lifting for certain populations, this episode highlights the importance of adapting training to meet athletes' needs rather than forcing them into rigid systems. The discussion also emphasizes the importance of health over performance, the role of trust and relationship-building in athlete buy-in, and how coaches can use guided autonomy to help athletes take ownership of their development. Coach AK shares insights on navigating social media as a professional, presenting at conferences, and continuously learning through collaboration with peers. If you’re a strength coach looking to challenge assumptions, explore new programming ideas, or better understand how to integrate isometrics into your system, this episode delivers both practical insights and thought-provoking perspectives.

Talkin Pitt #59 Devin Young - Young Coaches stepping into their first internship
In this episode of Talkin’ Pitt, Coach Young breaks down 5 key lessons every young strength and conditioning coach should understand when starting their first internship. Whether you are currently in school, preparing for your first internship, or working through your early experiences in the profession, this episode offers practical insights on how to make the most of these foundational opportunities. Drawing from nearly 10 years of experience in collegiate strength and conditioning, I share lessons I learned from multiple internships and graduate assistant positions, along with common patterns I’ve observed among interns at several universities. Internships are often the first major step into the profession, and how you approach them can significantly impact your long-term development as a coach. We discuss the importance of being a sponge, asking questions, stepping outside of your comfort zone, and maximizing the value of the time you invest early in your career. I also talk about how to identify the right internship environments, how to learn from different coaching styles, and why being proactive can separate you from other young professionals entering the field. If you are looking to build a strong foundation in strength and conditioning, better understand internship expectations, and position yourself for future opportunities such as graduate assistant roles or full-time positions, this episode will provide practical guidance to help you navigate the early stages of your career.
