Passionate about sports since childhood, Dylan Gutheil played football and rugby in high school and continued his rugby career at Springfield College, where he earned a degree in Exercise Science. Dylan started personal training right out of college for 5 years until he got frustrated with the corporate training environment and decided there was a better way to deliver coaching that could have a bigger impact on more people’s lives. And in 2016 his former college classmate and rugby co-captain, Jared, joined him to open Flight Performance and Fitness. Dylan’s main drive is to build Flight to the best possible training facility it can be so it can help more people reach their personal goals and potential. And in this episode of the Physical Prep Podcast, we dive into why exercise selection is so critical in your program design, why he’s passionate about developing young coaches, and his thoughts on why they HAVE NOT tried to niche their business down. Let’s do this!   If I believe I can help this person…or I believe I can deliver a really good service to this person, I’m NOT going to turn them down. – Dylan Gutheil   This Week on the Physical Prep Podcast: * Dylan’s background and why he originally got started in the world of Physical Preparation. * Why Springfield college was such a great place for him to get started, and his early mentors there. * What he learned during his 5 years working in a commercial gym… * …and how his time there ultimately led to him opening his own gym, Flight Fitness and Performance! * Dylan’s “Big Rocks” and overarching philosophy when it comes to training. * The power of exercise selection – and why we should ALL be striving to choose the best exercises for our clients and athletes. * Some of the biggest mistakes Dylan sees making with their exercise choices. * Why he’s so passionate about developing young coaches. * The lessons he’s learned over the years in regards to developing and mentoring others. * Dylan’s rationale for NOT niching down in his business. * A really fun lightning round where we talk core training, the biggest changes he’s made to his programs over the past 1-2 years, and his favorite moment (so far) as a coach!     Connect with Dylan * Dylan on Instagram * Flight Performance and Fitness   Related Links * Alex Hubelbank on Principles, Value Systems and Player-Driven Processes in Sport * Instagram Ab Post from Lightning Round   Have YOU Heard About the New IFAST University? When Bill and I created IFASTU back in 2016, our singular goal was to make it an elite resource for trainers, coaches and rehab professionals across the globe.
