University of South Carolina Director of Basketball Strength Training, Scott Greenawalt, joins ASAP Podcast guy Ed Cicale in this discussion on strength training for basketball. This is Scott's 3rd appearance on an ASAP Podcast. He always has some interesting insights into training as well as some good ideas to consider for program design. Coach Greenawalt has a high interest in bringing South Carolina Gamecocks Basketball to the forefront of college basketball, and that 2017 NCAA Final Four appearance certainly drives Greenawalt and his staff to one day reach that pinnacle again. He has a wealth of knowledge about basketball player development that also includes sports nutrition. Gamecocks' Head Basketball Coach Frank Martin entrusts in Greenawalt, a coach who earns the respect of the players that he monitors on a day to day basis. He's now into his 7th season in Columbia.

"Eighteen years of mistakes and eighteen years of asking questions has gotten me to where I am today" .... Coach Jeff Dillman
ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power made another visit to Columbia, South Carolina this summer to check in on the director of Football Strength & Conditioning Jeff Dillman. The first ASAP Podcast with Dillman was so popular, it called for a follow-up, so we headed over to the University of South Carolina's Brice-Williams Stadium, a towering place that's typical of the huge stadiums encountered in SEC Football. The Gamecocks' football strength training center is located at the north end, just a few yards from the palm trees and a line of Cockabooses that are a huge hit with the tailgating crowd on game day.
After a walk-thru of the strength training complex and having the opportunity to try some of the hip mobility innovations that Coach Dillman is employing, Coach Dillman and I slipped into his strength office, that serves as our makeshift recording studio to record this podcast. I was also able to snag a few pieces of bubble gum that's piled high in an official South Carolina Gamecocks bucket. We discus that and the training that has been going on at South Carolina Football. In addition, Jeff updated us on the huge changes that are coming with the new facility. He also is very pleased with the addition of Kristin Coggin, who coach refers to as "a game changer".
"We try to do simple, better"... Coach Dillman

For this ASAP Podcast, we traveled I-75 just about to its Ohio-Michigan border, crossed over the Maumee River to the University of Toledo. it's a pretty cool looking campus because just about all of the buildings are constructed with the same Indiana limestone. In fact, much of the football stadium, called the Glass Bowl, utilizes the same rock. Great looking college campus. And a couple of miles away is where our nutritional fuel-up took place.... a little place called Scrambler Marie's. And that's where to go for a really great breakfast. REAL. And that's the way we keep it on our ASAP Road Trips.
Today's Podcast catches us up with what's going on at this MAC Conference perennial standout

ASAP~Athletic Strength And Power Podcasts caught up with Dr. Robert Burger a few years ago at the football symposium held at Beacon Orthopedics West in Cincinnati. In this podcast, Dr. Burger talks about his background and what led him to the foreground of orthopedic surgery, with specialty to sports medicine, in the midwest. He also speaks about the more prevalent injuries found in athletics today and the rehabilitation of those injuries.
Dr Burger was a former Notre Dame Fighting Irish football player who worked himself into the starting line-up on a team that had Joe Montana as their starting quarterback. The hard work that Burger embraced, earned him an opportunity for a National Championship with that squad! Years later, Dr. Burger's son Bobby made the Notre Dame team as a tight end. Another son, Chris starred at Xavier University in Cincinnati as a Captain of the golf team. Meanwhile, another son, Joe Burger, starred at Ohio State Football, also playing for a National Chamionship in 2014. Later, the 5 time OSU scholar athlete was elected Captain for the 2016 Buckeyes.
