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.

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
Elitefts™ Sports Performance Podcast on iTunesElitefts™ Iron Subcultrue Podcast on iTunesDownload the ebook here!American Football Physical Preparation was written to expose football players, physical preparation and sport coaches, to the concepts of one of the original coaches of physical preparation for football, Buddy “Coach X” Morris. In this book, you will find information regarding the theory, methodology, bioenergetics, biodynamics, and bio-motor abilities, as they pertain to American Football. 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.
