Hey everyone. Thanks for tuning into Power Athlete Radio. A lot of people want to talk about what it takes to become a coach at a very high level, but few have actually endured the painstaking process. The journey of becoming a leader and a mentor is one of sacrifice and commitment.

And no one knows that better than Coach Gary Schofield.

After earning and receiving most people's dream job in the NBA, he decided to forgo the opportunity after being exposed to high school athletes.

In his experience, most people revere coaches of professional athletes far more than that of youth athletes.

But Schofield thinks that the system has it backwards.

Those dedicated to working with the relatively untrained, the stressed, and the complex youth

are some of the most adept in the field of strength and conditioning.

Don't rely on the talent of your athletes to magically enhance your ability to coach.

Instead, find outlets to empower the performance of the mediocre.

Of Eddie Murphy from Shrek. Yeah. Was that good?
