“There is not a mold or a template to be a strength coach, I think the best strength coach, or the best coach in general, is a genuine one.”

What’s up everybody and welcome the 69th 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 University of Louisville’s Sport Performance Coach, Sean Smith. Sean, thanks for being with us today.

Before we start, who is Sean Smith?

A lover of life, culture, art in all its forms and a wanna be chef.

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

Coming from the private sector to college taught me there is not a mold to be a strength coach.

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

What makes us hard wired to be content?

3) What’s your escape?

Normally would be to travel, and cooking.
