Australian Fitness Podcast

Dr. Dan Baker – Master Strength Coach and Coach Educator Dan Baker has been a part of the elite strength and conditioning scene in Australia and around the world for well over 20 years. I caught up (by phone) with the President of the ASCA and we discussed various elements of coach education, athlete development and communication, and some specifics around Strength and Power Development, specifically Velocity Based Training. Sure, this Podcast is probably more for the hard-nosed Strength and Conditioning Coach, but, if you have an interest in fitness generally, it’s still a very interesting conversation with an elite and professional coach who has spent a career training, teaching, researching and authoring massive amounts of valuable training information for coaches in Australia and around the world to learn from. He’s a coach’s coach. Dan speaks the practitioner’s language too. Be specific, attack the key elements of conditioning, nothing replaces hard and heavy training and science is the cherry on top,
