    From Research to Reality: Translating Science Into Coaching Decisions (Part 2)

    How do performance coaches take research off the page and apply it inside a real training session? In Part 2 of this two-part series, Parisi Podcast host Casey Lee dives into how coaches can translate sports science into practical, athlete-centered coaching decisions. Casey breaks down why research should guide—but never dictate—training, how to filter studies based on population and relevance, and how to think in principles rather than rigid tools or methods. He also explains how understanding research helps coaches communicate more effectively with athletes, parents, and sport coaches, build trust, and position themselves as confident decision-makers. This episode is essential listening for strength and conditioning coaches, speed and agility coaches, and performance professionals who want to bridge the gap between evidence-based research and real-world coaching.

    If I Had to Start Over in 2026: A No-Nonsense Blueprint for Performance Coaches

    If you were starting your performance coaching career from scratch in 2026, where would you begin? In this solo episode of the Parisi Podcast, host Coach Casey Lee answers a powerful question from a young coach entering the industry: “If you had to start over today, what would you do differently?” Drawing from years of experience hiring, mentoring, and developing coaches, Casey outlines a simple but highly actionable framework for building a sustainable career in sports performance.

This episode emphasizes why hands-on coaching, real conversations, and time spent in the trenches matter more than chasing endless certifications. Whether you’re a graduating student, a young coach just entering the field, or someone looking to pivot into sports performance in 2026, this episode provides a clear, honest road map for getting started the right way—without over-complicating the process.

    3 Speed Programming Mistakes Coaches Make (And How to Fix Them)

    In this solo episode of the Parisi Podcast, host Casey Lee tackles one of the most requested topics in performance coaching: speed programming. Drawing from years inside the Parisi Speed School system, Casey outlines three major inefficiencies he sees coaches struggle with—lack of organizational structure, over-reliance on training tools, and misunderstanding progression in speed development. He explains why templated programming enhances creativity rather than limiting it, how understanding what tools do matters more than simply using them, and how progression should be viewed through both velocity and movement complexity. This episode delivers actionable insights coaches can immediately apply to write better programs, coach more confidently, and build speed systems that actually scale.
