“When you’re climbing up the ranks you learn to structure your program for your group so that you can manage them as efficiently as possible.”

What’s up everybody and welcome the 60th episode of Outside The Rack brought to you by Kinetic Performance the makers of Gymaware. In this show we are going to try to dive a little deeper into the minds of the top practitioners in the world of sport performance to learn a bit more about who they actually are and how they got to where they are at today. Today we are joined by the San Jose Sharks Director of Strength and Conditioning and the president of the Strength and Conditioning Association of Professional Hockey, Mike Potenza.

Before we start, who is Mike Potenza?

As a coach I love to teach and make people better. As a family man I’m a blessed husband and father.

1) Describe a learning situation that brought about an epiphany in your career

The first was my first whole year in the NHL, and my second was my first NHL combine. My other big epiphany was making it to the finals and thinking “who’s my next culture.”

2) If you could ask one question and you know you would get the answer what would that be and why?

What’s the best way to reach the unreachable athlete?

3) What’s your escape?

Playing with my kids or golfing.
