Hey everyone. Thanks for tuning into Power Athlete Radio. It is Year of Our Lord

2018 and a lot has changed. Cars can fly, Tex cut us hair, and Power Athlete H.Q has exclusively

become a mean page. this is the future well so

maybe none of this is actually true but if you want real talk motivation heading into the new

year look no further than this week's episode our conversation with Zach evanesh went crazy long

with so much good material that we had to make it a two-parter.

In the second part, Zach talks passionately not only about his preferred style of coaching,

but why he believes it's the most effective in training youth athletes.

As he explains, he's not just preparing these kids to necessarily be strong in the weight room.

He feels the real strength is one developed

in character, which just happens to be forged through the iron struggle.

This is episode 240 part due.

So we didn't even talk about any training, so I don't know how this. Ah, fuck it. People, because they do hurt people's feelings. I have another question. Side hustle is butt hurt. So, Zach and John, I have a question for you. You know, this going back to fucking 40 minutes or so you know like how do we get here right and then

john you were talking jack i think you were like man fucking these are the parents of the 70s and 80s

but is it is it a product of like perhaps um just out of principle or like you know a natural

response to maybe uh how your folks raised you like i don't want to raise my kids that way so uh and then

you just you go polar opposite with best intentions no I I think it's people don't know so uh my buddy

so so one of my good friends I don't know you guys ever met Stu but he lived next door to me in

college so he lived like the next house you know like a couple down. So he would, I live next door to a supermarket. So Stabone, who, that's his nickname, Stabone used to walk by a knock on my door every day. And then we just end up becoming friends and hanging out. We're still friends all these years later. He has like a nine-year-old son who got into like cart racing and was like a, like, basically on track to be like a NASCAR was like the top go-kart racing. Like, and they traveled all over. The kid was like, I remember him calling me and be like, dude, my son's going to fucking drive in the indie. Like this kid is on a fast track for this. He has sponsors. I mean, dude, like these teams are grooming him.

All of a sudden, at like nine years old, he's like, they had like something at school, PE, and he like got sucked at basketball because they had just been fucking racing. So the kid comes home and goes, dad, I don't want to race anymore. I want to play sports. So he's like, fuck, dude. They'd sunk everything like all of this into it. So he calls me hysterical, like my kid's fucking behind.

He's going to be this.

And he called me yesterday.
