Welcome to the very first episode of "S&C Intern Chit Chat"! My name is Coach James Burk, and I am the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach at Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene, Texas. Myself and my staff, primarily interns, goal is to bridge the gap between what is taught in the classroom and what you actually experience in the field.
Think of this podcast as your backstage pass to the world of strength and conditioning. We're going to talk about the practical, real-world experience you need to succeed in this profession. My goal is to help provide insight into the nuts and bolts of S&C as well as the skills and qualities needed to succeed in this business.
Each episode, we'll sit down with guests who are in the trenches of the S&C world, from seasoned veterans to up-and-coming coaches. They’ll share their experiences, insights, and lessons learned to give you an unfiltered look at what it's like to build a career in strength and conditioning.
This show is for anyone who is looking to break into the profession, currently an intern, or simply looking to learn more about the industry. The conversations and content are designed to benefit everyone, no matter your age or experience level.
Thanks for tuning in, and let's get ready to chat!
