Hey everyone. Thanks for tuning in to Power Athlete Radio.

Ladies and gentlemen, Ron McKeephyry is back.

If you missed him the first time, tune in this week to hear him drop knowledge from his years of experience at the collegiate and professional level.

For being named collegiate strength and conditioning coach of the year twice,

Ron's approach is relatively simple and highly effective.

His advice ranges from the complexities of selecting the right coaches to hire

to surviving as an intern.

Surviving can eventually translate to thriving if you recognize your role at every stage of the game.

Coach McKeithree has recently become the vice president of performance and education of play.

Not only that, he's kicking off a clinic series which he discusses in detail on today's show.

His book, CEO Strength Coach, is an excellent stepping stone to surviving the S&C struggle

and getting to know what it took to make Coach Ron McKeefrey the success you see today.

In his words, shut your mouth, open your ears, then ask a million questions, and you end up getting to a point where you might actually have an original thought.

Well, it might make for a lengthy tattoo, but it certainly is a good life mantra.

I came on as their vice president of performance and education. And for those you guys who know, play is probably the premier maker of flooring for gyms.

And any guys had ever been to super high-end gyms, like, you know, the new Sorenx place or Gold's Gym or any, you know,

major collegiate strength conditioning program, the bitch and floors that, you know, don't have seams and look like they actually are carpet or even something
