The C is For Conditioning with Tim Kettenring
My guest this month is Coach Tim Kettenring. Tim has coached at every level of strength and conditioning—from high school and collegiate athletics to professional sports, and now in the private sector as the founder of Maverick Human Performance.
In this episode, Coach Kettenring delivers a masterclass on conditioning. We dive into the importance of aerobic development, how a well-developed aerobic system enhances other physical qualities, practical ways to integrate conditioning into a weekly training plan, and much more. We even discuss why coaches should prioritize their own conditioning and physical preparedness.
Whether you're a veteran strength coach or just getting started, this episode is packed with practical insights you can apply immediately. Enjoy!

2026 Natcon Recap
Season 4 is here! We're kicking things off with another National Conference recap after an incredible week in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
I was fortunate enough to bring my mic and laptop to the 10th Annual NHSSCA National Conference and capture conversations with people from every stage of the profession. From college students exploring strength and conditioning for the first time, to collegiate coaches presenting at the conference, to Hall of Fame inductees who have helped shape our profession, this episode offers a wide range of perspectives and experiences.
A huge thank you to everyone who took a few minutes to sit down and share their story. I'm already looking forward to doing it all again next year in Nashville.
Enjoy!
