Episode Synopsis

In this episode of the Athletic Skills Podcast, we speak with Blaine Clancy, Physical Performance Coach.



Blaine Clancy brings extensive experience coaching various sports and working with diverse populations.

He delves into Youth Athletic Development, exploring how his philosophy has evolved over time.

We discuss an intriguing question: when coaching fundamental movements, is there such a thing as being "sport-specific"? It’s a fascinating topic, as coaches often emphasize making their sessions sport-specific. But what about the foundational skills all athletes need?

Additionally, we explore the role of a coach as a salesperson—how to secure buy-in from others—and the ways parents can be leveraged to further support athletes.

Blaine also shares his thoughts on whether young practitioners should volunteer for free at the start of their journey or focus on finding paid roles. What’s your perspective? Should every opportunity have monetary value, or can coaches gain other meaningful benefits from unpaid experiences?
