Joel Smith shares 20 coaching ideas that permanently reshaped how he trains athletes and himself. Drawing from influential books, mentors, training systems, personal experiments, and hard-earned mistakes, Joel explores intensity and recovery, potentiation, individualized strength, motor learning, games, rhythm, biomechanics, group dynamics, ritual, and athlete profiling. More than a list of methods, the episode traces his evolution from conventional programming toward a more adaptive, embodied, and human approach to performance.
