In this episode of Beyond Sets and Reps, I reconnects with Dr. Tommy Stallworth to discuss his extensive and impressive coaching career. Stallworth's journey began as a linebacker at the University of Tennessee, where he enjoyed the success of two SEC championships and a national title. Transitioning into coaching, he learned the importance of networking, mentorship, and understanding athletes' backgrounds to foster supportive environments. Throughout the episode, Dr. Stallworth emphasizes the critical relationship between strength coaches and head coaches, sharing insights from his time working with Cliff Kingsbury at Texas Tech and recounting a notable moment with Pat Mahomes in the weight room. Now coaching at the high school level, Stallworth finds joy in helping young athletes build confidence and achieve their goals. He discusses the evolving nature of strength and conditioning, stressing the importance of humility, effective communication, and mutual respect among support staff to provide the best care for athletes. A big shoutout to our podcast sponsors Sorinex and EliteForm for making these episodes possible!
