Summary

This week I interviewed a good friend and former coach of mine Dusty Hyland. He needs no introduction. Plain and simple he is one of the very best, and it shows in his athlete's performances.

We start the show off by talking about his experience balancing coaching and competing at the same time. This year he competed as a masters athlete then immediately after began coaching his athletes.

We talk about programming and he shares the top 3 things that most coaches are failing to put in their programs.

We talk a lot about the mental approach to the sport of fitness and some specific, some not so specific, ways of improving your mental game or your athletes mental game.

He also gives a book recommendation at the very end, written by the strength and conditioning coach of Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant called "Relentless." I ordered it as we were on the podcast. Check it out.

Finally, I'll apologize beforehand for the audio quality. This was my first Skype interview, and the quality is a little choppy. I promise this will improve. Thanks, and I hope you enjoy the show.

0:00.0	What's up guys? This is Mike Cashew and this is the Brute Strength podcast. This week I interviewed Dusty Highland, one of the most successful CrossFit coaches of all time.

0:24.0	being a coach and an athlete. Dusty plays top 10 this year as a master's athlete and then the very
0:32.9	next day, when he was done with his competition, the very next day started coaching his athletes
0:39.2	in theirs. So how does he balance doing both of those at the same time as well as throughout the
0:47.5	year? We talk about programming and how to think about training in the off season when you want to gain
0:55.4	strength without losing too much conditioning how to even think about that we talk about his
1:00.5	experiences with his athletes at the games high and low and then we also talk about some specific
1:06.8	things that he thinks coaches are missing in programming in general, as well as kind of diving
1:14.6	into some of his personal life and what it is that makes him tick. I think there are a lot of great
