  • Ross Garner - Effingham County HS

    Ross Garner - Effingham County HS
    Mar 18 2026

    The "S&C Chit Chat with Ross Garner" includes conversation about facility conflicts, staff introductions, and an in-depth look at Ross Garner's career path and high school strength and conditioning philosophies. Career Advice: Master's in Education + CSCS provides best job security for high school S&C coaches.

    • Training Philosophy: Conjugate training approach, primarily using deadlifts and the snatch (preferred over the clean for high school athletes).
    • Deadlift Focus: Strong belief in deadlift's carry-over to speed; emphasizes correcting upper back posture.
    • Speed Training: Speed and jump work is done after strength training to "prime" athletes and teach them to "be fast tired."
    • Technology & Grants: Used business background to secure two $5,000 grants for iPads and data collection (Rock Daisy).
    • Job Stability: Highlighted the value of standalone, 12-month strength coach positions (like the one at Cleburne) for program consistency.
    • Recommendations: Book: Chosen Suffering. Podcast: Voodoo Power with Steve Thompson.

  • Michael Gragg- Harding University

    Michael Gragg- Harding University
    Mar 12 2026

    Michael Gragg does a phenomenal job at Harding University and in this podcast. I on the other hand did less than desirable in pressing record for the first 10 minutes.

    Tune in for a "S&C Chit Chat" with Coach Michael Gragg from Harding University. We break down the technical and philosophical pillars of their national championship-winning strength and conditioning program. Topics include: the use of Catapult GPS, VBT systems (Vitru), and a Just Jump mat for athlete readiness; the high-low, four-day offseason training split; and the core importance of ground-based movement, team culture, and earned player autonomy.
