    A “must” listen.

    Great Guests and Challenging Conversations
    Anthony does an incredible job of challenging narratives of traditional S&C with guests of elite pedigree. His academic background parallels owning his gym and the holistic view of high performance. Episode 1, "What is Science?" may be the best episode of a sports performance podcast.
  • Dave Grimm
    Great for anyone involved in hockey!
    Anthony has done a phenomenal job on the podcast! The information, discussions and topics can relate to and help players, coaches, performance coaches at all levels of the game. Love the passion Anthony has and it leads to meaningful, practical talks with some of the greatest minds in the game of hockey!

    Always great content
    Anthony has a knack for developing great dialogue with his guests. The performance aspect has been great but what’s better is the real, down to earth conversation with each of his guests. I can’t recommend it enough!

    One of the best podcasts in the performance realm to be released in a while. Awesome guests that cover topics applicable to any strength coach in any sport. As a young hockey strength coach the advice and insights given will be directly applied to my career.
