The Staff Meeting is a coach-to-coach podcast built around real conversations in athletic performance. No buzzwords. No highlight-reel training theory. Just honest discussion about what actually holds up in sport. Hosted by practitioners in the field, each episode challenges popular ideas, defines terms clearly, and pressure-tests training concepts against real athletes, real seasons, and real constraints. If it doesn’t transfer, we talk about why. If it does, we explain where, when, and for whom.
