Jeremy & Jake are joined by NU Strength coaches to discuss how important their jobs are to an athlete’s development and team’s culture by instilling the head coach’s principles.

This interview also explains why Alex Spanos doesn’t listen to Drake (4:29), why Matt Flannery got into strength coaching (6:04), how Spanos never uses lower-case letters for anything (13:57), Lark’s hard-work ethic and why the road to recovery doesn’t have to be lonely (20:09), the strength coaches claim Jeremy is more crazier than them (24:06), Flan talks about his encounter with preparing players for upcoming seasons (29:14), and Lark explains his mentality on the everyday self-talk needed for a student-athlete (34:32).

Set the Record Straight: this week includes “Are strength coaches athletes?” “Flan’s Favorite NU RB”, & “How Spanos views FB.”
