Episode 13: Getting Stronger with “Project Pure Athlete” Strength Coach Chase Skinkis

Jared here. And today, we focus on getting stronger. I’m joined by Chase Skinkis of Project Pure Athlete. We dive into his unique story of how he transformed his body and his game after college, leveraging a combination of his passion for basketball and an engineering-based approach to physical improvement.

You’ll learn the science behind improving athleticism from a world-reknowned dunker with 4-foot vertical (this is not a typo). You’ll also hear about how Chase’s commitment to strength and conditioning opened previously unimaginable doors for him, including “behind the scenes” work with NBA slam dunk contest participants.   

Throughout the episode, we cover the essential principles of strength and conditioning for high school athletes. Chase breaks down the importance of injury prevention, the benefits of strength training, and why young athletes should start dynamic stretching and hitting the weightroom early. 

In his own words; “it was never about dunking, it was about getting better at basketball.” The dunking is fun, but this is about the work it takes to become a stronger, more resilient athlete. This episode is packed with valuable insights on how to maximize your potential through proper training, goal-setting, and hard work. Tune in to learn from one of the best in the business!
