“We use anything that works for that kid.”

“I’m not a big philosophy guy, or have a system. I do whatever is going to work with that athlete, that team.”

“If you never go there, how can you know you’ll be safe there.”

“It’s not how much you know but how well you know what you do know. You don’t have to know everything in the world, but what you do know, know it in and out.”

I get to sit down and catch up with Stanford Basketball’s Strength and Conditioning Coach Mike Chatman to discuss the training of basketball players. After a real quick run down of how he got out to Stanford Mike starts diving right into his assessments and how he evaluates his athletes. This leads him right into how these evaluations drive the training, and the role of not just physical evaluations driving the training but also watching video. Chat has unique athletes at Stanford, and programs as such to make sure that the athletes are able to improve. He finishes off sharing with us how he has got the guys to buy into him, his program, and what they have done successfully to drive this. Give him a follow on IG @mchat24.
