Listen "Bryan Kegans - UNT Football"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we sit down with Bryan Kegans from the University of North Texas Strength & Conditioning program to dissect what it takes to run a successful, high-performing department. Coach Kegans dives into the non-negotiables for their internship, revealing the rigorous selection process, the need for "eager as hell" and proactive individuals, and the resulting high attrition rate that weeds out all but the most committed. He shares the program's success in placing former interns in full-time roles, emphasizing the value of curiosity, the capacity to "grind," and effective athlete interaction as the core traits for entry into the strength and conditioning journey.The conversation then shifts to the nuts and bolts of UNT's philosophy, covering their use of sports science to manage athlete load. Coach Kegans details their reliance on Catapult GPS for tracking total distance and Zone 5 speed, along with Hawkin Dynamics Force Plates for monitoring jump performance. He explains their innovative approach to data analytics, leveraging UNT students to customize tools like Microsoft Power BI in-house. The discussion concludes with a breakdown of the in-season training split (M-Structural Reset, W-Isometric/Power, F-Pure Power), a preference for the trap bar deadlift, and an exploration of movement optimization techniques like RPR (Reflexive Performance Reset) and the root-cause analysis of the Square One system.SOCIAL:https://x.com/Kegans2https://www.instagram.com/bkegansOTHER PODCAST COACH KEGANS HAS DONE:https://youtu.be/i5BJrslfyBQ?si=iCbbBwyp9XUTs7r7https://meangreensports.com/podcasts/-gmgcast-bryan-kegans/96https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/hwcp-podcast/episodes/Ep-88-Hangin-with-Coach-Bryan-Kegans-e1iag3t/a-a7t8j0h
