Scott Umberger, Co-Owner and Head Physical Preperation Coach at Umberrger Performance
Topics Covered in this Podcast
Scott’s passion for performance enhancement started at an early age, stemmed by his desire to receive a Division I scholarship.
Sports Science Knowledge
One year interning at University of Pittsburgh under renowned coach, Buddy Morris changed everything. After working with Buddy,Scott spent two years working as Todd Hamer’s Assistant Strength & Condition Coach at Robert Morris University training 600 of their athletes.
The influence of James Smith, who is regarded as the leading American expert on Soviet Sport Science, led Scott to an understanding of Sports Science held by handful of Americans. Since Sport Science doesn’t exist in the U.S.(Scott confirmed this during his exploration of a PhD at PSU). Scott’s knowledge has been obtained via mentorships, self study of his small library of translated foreign materials, videos, seminars with foreign Sports Scientist, and personal correspondence with leading experts and Sport Scientists. This knowledge of non-U.S. Sports Science is essential because of the understanding of human performance that this non US research has uncovered through the study of 20,000+ elite athletes. The funding for this kind of research does not exist in the US. This monetary investment in Sport Science research is one of the very few ways that the world can be thankful towards communistic regimes.
Speed
Attempting to “get the edge” on the competition, Scott read and has tried everything that he could get his hands on. Taken under the wing of D1 track coach, Waddie Freeman his senior year of high school, Scott reduced his 40 yard dash time from 4.6 to 4.4. Scott played football, baseball, and ran track in high school. This led him to compete at the Division I level in football and track at Robert Morris University. Scott’s personal experience teamed with his extensive knowledge of the late sprint coach Charlie Francis’s methodologies present a very unique mix of knowledge and practice experience regarding speed development.
Strength
Scott spent three months training at the strongest powerlifting gym in the U.S., Westside Barbell. There he gained an advanced knowledge of the three powerlifts, the bench, the squat, and the dead lift. He also learned about the concept of strength and its application to specific athletic scenarios.
Resume
As part of his 17,000 hours in the trenches training experience, Scott has worked with over a 2,000 athletes and clients:
Scott practices what he preaches. Research is fantastic but it is useless if it’s not applied in a real world setting. Scott studies and applies knowledge on himself before having his athletes use it. He’s squatted 650 lbs, dead lifted 635 lbs in competitions and bench pressed 505 in the gym at a body weight ranging between 190-200 lbs. In August of 2013 he completed a Tough Mudder Race(which is consider the most legit race of it’s kind in the US) which is a 12 mile “mud run” with 20+ obstacles.
Though it’s Scott’s formal education(BS, MS) that enhanced his abilities as a coach, it’s the intensive study of ”The Soviet Sports Science,” as well as Sport Science stemming from sources outside of the United States(primarily Premier League Soccer and Australian Sports Science) that have really separated him from the majority of the field. Real world success with real athletes using his “in trenches training experience,” as well as a unique blend of leadership and knowledge of legitimate non US Sport Science makes Scott a rare commodity as a physical preparation coach in the US.

Buy Strength Coach: A Call to ServeStrength coaching is, in many ways, a scientific endeavor, blending the latest theories of performance enhancement with practical strategies to build mobility, speed, flexibility and power.

Part memoir and part training manual, this book gives football fans, strength coaches and exercise enthusiasts alike a thorough inside look into Connor’s world -- where speed and power can lead to Saturday victory and young men forge character through long, tireless hours away from the roar of the crowd.

Anthony Donskov Interview Donskov Strength & Conditioning is one of the premier training facilities in the country. The biggest reason for this is its founder and head strength Coach, Anthony Donskov.
Donskov has established himself as one of the most knowledgeable and detail-oriented coaches in the industry. His passion for continuing to improve as a coach in order to enhance the performance of his athletes is rivaled only by his undeniable core values in which he runs his business.
Every aspect of the comprehensive development of his athletes falls under these core values and the athletes at Donskov’s are immersed into a system of producing results. There is a buy–in from the athletes and a collective culture of exceeding expectations from the coaches and interns. Anthony Donskov is not only developing stronger, faster, and better conditioned athletes; but better young men and women.

Buddy Morris Interview Growing up in the South Hills of Pittsburgh, my heroes were Pittsburgh sports figures. The Steelers were almost surreal to me as a fan and other than attending Jack Lambert's Football Camp and training camps in Latrobe, Pennsylvania; they were untouchable. The University of Pittsburgh Football players were in fact more than just giants of the game, they were part of our culture. Guys like Jim Sweeney, Bill Fralic, and Mark Stepnoski were friends of my older cousins and in some way, almost like big brothers to all of us playing pick-up football in the cobblestone streets of the Iron City. Dan Mario played baseball for my grandfather up until his junior year at Pitt. And, all of us "yinzers" were heartbroken when Tony Dorsett started wearing a start on his helmet and played for America's team. The icon who prepared most of those men was why, in a round-a-bout way, I became a strength and conditioning coach myself. Buddy Morris has always been someone who most of us looked up to. Even when he told you things you didn't want to hear about training and physical preparation. Coach X became a staple of elitefts.com and videos of when Dave and Jim visited he and Mylo when they were coaching the Cleveland Browns still rank as some of the top learning experiences. If there is one thing that is evident is that Buddy Morris was meant to be a strength coach. Buddy makes no apologies for being who he is. He has the knowledge and the experience to validate what he believes, while always questioning whether there is a better way to do things. Buddy knows it was, is, and will never be about him. "Buddy's one of the All-Timers, he helped start this profession," explains Joe Kenn, Head Strength & Conditioning Coach with the Carolina Panthers. "Nobody talks enough about Buddy being one of the pioneers." With over 3 decades of experience, no one can deny Buddy Morris' impact on the strength and conditioning profession and the athletes he has coached. Topics Covered in this Podcast

This information is unique, as it explains why football is an alactic-aerobic sport, which bio-motor abilities are most important, how biodynamics play into exercise selection, and how each team, side of the ball, position, and even individual, needs their own specific programming. In the final section of the book, you will find practical examples of training cycles, monthly blocks, training weeks, and individual workouts, all tailored for five distinct training groups: Line, Combo, Skill, Quarterback, and Kicker/Punter. As a whole, American Football Physical Preparation will give all readers an exclusive look, and insight, of how the training process is organized, programmed and implemented, in a large team setting for American Football. Buddy Morris is a strength and conditioning legend, bodybuilder, and rehab specialist who will run our Performance Center. He has over 31 years of experience in the strength and conditioning field. He has worked as the Head Strength Coach for the NFL Cleveland Browns as well as the Head Strength Coach for the University of Pittsburgh for 20+ years. He has coached 5 NFL Hall of Famers and trains NFL players year round. He is known nationwide and has contributed to numerous fitness magazines, books, and articles. His weight room at the University of Pittsburgh “The Pitt Iron Works” was named one of the top ten toughest gyms in America by Muscle & Fitness Magazine. Buddy was recently named one of the “65 Most Influential Strength Coaches of All-Time.” Recently Tony “Goose” Siragusa, spoke highly of Buddy on Howard Stern’s radio show and in his new best selling book, “Goose.” Ask Buddy “Coach X” Morris a QuestionArticles by Buddy “Coach X” MorrisRelated ArticlesElitefts Sports Performance Podcast Episode 6: Joe Kenn Interview Elitefts Sports Performance Podcast Episode 5: Todd Hamer Interview Elitefts Sports Performance Podcast Episode 4: Cam Davidson Interview Elitefts™ Sports Performance Podcast Episode 3: Tom Palumbo Interview Elitefts™ Sports Performance Podcast Episode 1: Dan John Interview Elitefts™ Collegiate Line |

Interview with Dan Stevens From the first time I met Dan Stevens, one thing was evident; he cares about the athletes he trains as much as he loves training himself. His professional life revolves around it. Stevens, who is the head strength and conditioning coach at Thomas Worthington High School and Worthington Kilbourne High School, has mastered the art of being two places at once… literally. A distinction and job title he earned via a coin flip of all things, after budget cuts in the Worthington, Ohio school district. Stevens utilizes decades of under-the-bar experience and training athletes to and consistently build his knowledge base. He is the epitome of a life-long learner, which is evident by his involvement with the elitefts™ Learn to Train seminars and the amount of correspondence he has with the best coaches in the profession. I sat down with Dan in the weight room at Worthington Kilbourne High School and like every other time I have interacted with Dan, I gained perspective about coaching on so many levels. Dan Stevens is a rock in a sea of new methods and under-qualified coaches. Stevens has survived the storm of change and has stood by his principles and his unwavering integrity. Coach Stevens has one of the most important and influential jobs in the country, a fact he covets and a job he does extremely well. Topics Covered in this Podcast

Interview with JL Holdsworth & Nic BronkallJL Holdsworth - OwnerNic Bronkall - Director of Strength & ConditioningThe Spot AthleticsEvery time I travel to The Spot Athletics to met with JL Holdsworth and his staff, I learn a ton. This time around, we filmed some plyometric videos with Nic Bronkall. We also had an in depth discussion about weak muscle groups in the deadlift which forced my to review the basics of anatomy and physiology. As usual, JL gave me some more drills and exercises to help with my weak points. This time around, I got another drill to address my horrendous thoracic spine mobility issues using some bands. While talking to JL and Nic, it was evident of how much they are on the same page and how passionate they are about helping athletes achieve their goals. Along with the rest of the staff, JL and Nic take pride in how and why they coach. It is because of this universal disposition that The Spot Athletics is truly unique.
