If you’re a strength and conditioning or physical preparation coach who wants to level up your assessment and sports science game, then you’re going to love this episode. Ryan Patrick is owner of Peak Fitness & Sports Training (aka PeakFAST) in Erlanger, Kentucky. In the years that I’ve known Ryan he’s been a competitive powerlifter, gotten his Masters Degree, and run an incredibly successful fitness business. But most importantly, Ryan is someone whose ideals and philosophies really parallel my won, which is probably why we get along so well! In this show we dive into Bill Hartman’s model, the technology he’s using in his gym to assess his athletes, and how he’s using those assessments to drive superior programs.   I will get you as strong as humanly possible until it stops transferring over to what we actually need. – Ryan Patrick   This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast: * What’s new in Ryan’s world, and what he’s been up to since the last time we chatted. * How Bill’s movement model has influenced his thinking. * His Big Rocks when it comes to movement training and getting the most out of his athletes. * What got Ryan started down the tech/sports science rabbit hole. * The equipment he’s using in his gym, and why he selected each piece (i.e. how it helps him make better decisions). * How his assessment process has evolved over the past 3-5 yeras. * Ultimately, how he’s using his assessment to drive better decision-making with his programs.     Connect with Ryan: * CoachRyanPatrick on IG * Podcast #1 – Ryan Patrick on Blending Movement and Training Savagery   Supercharge Your Decision-Making and Program Design with Hawkin Dynamics Force Plates!
