Lew Caralla is the head strength and conditioning coach for the football team at Georgia Tech University. He played college football at Defiance and began his coaching journey by doing summer internships at USF and Virginia while in school. After graduating, he worked as a GA at Mississippi State. He then worked as an assistant strength coach at Georgia Tech, Mississippi State, then Michigan. In 2015, he got his first head job at North Texas, before moving on to Louisiana-Lafayette and the Buffalo, where he was honored as the strength and conditioning coach of the year in college football Lew took the head job at Georgia Tech in 2019 and is now in his third season with the team. Lew took social media by storm earlier this year as high level performers in all facets of life began to discover and share his weekly messages. In digging into Lew’s messages on Instagram, I love the way he is able to teach principles and values that can be applied for success in all areas of life. He’s down to earth, humble as hell, and takes every opportunity to lead from the front. He walks the walk and paves a path for others to follow. He’s the kind of coach that I would be honored to have my kids play for. And on top of all that, Lew is an incredible man, husband, and father, which is why I am so thankful I had the opportunity to speak with him.Overview of Discussion PointsLew’s morning routineThe importance of making time and space for yourself in the morningBook recommendation - Raising a Modern Day KnightAuthor recommendation - Mark BattersonPodcast recommendations - Ed Mylett, John Gordon, Inky Johnson, John MaxwellLew’s childhood and how being a difficult kid has helped him in his career as a coach“If I am like my dad to my son, I will have have succeeded”Relationship with father and lessons learnedTransition from playing college football to coachingCareer path as a strength and conditioning coachOvercoming setbacks by doubling down on himself“The number one accomplishment I have every achieved in my life if my wife.”Lew speaks about meeting and courting his wifeMarriage advice from Lew - ask yourself how you can helpLew speaks on the values he wishes to impress upon his kidsLew’s biggest insecurity - being a better coach than he is a dad and husbandLew speaks on what he wants his kids to remember about himWhere to FollowTwitter: @lewiscarallaInstagram: @lewcaralla
