This week I’m so excited to welcome Amit Vohra to The Podcast. Similar to the past few guests we have had on the show I’ve been fortunate to watch Amit’s professional growth from a distance after getting his feet wet in the vocation under my former director Chris Stewart. During the 30+ minute discussion Amit and I get into:

1)    How he has formulated his thought process around programming. 

2)    The role and power of belief in training, programming, coaching, and life.

3)    What the goal of the program is, and where evaluations impact the directions they take to reach those goals.

4)    Examples of how they utilize data to help structure and progress/regress drills in practice

5)    Metrics that they look at, why they look at them, and how they impact decisions. Not just in practice but in training as well.

Amit is doing some great work up at Towson, it’s really been awesome watching him grow from intern here back in the day to where he is now. Super excited for the future he has as a practitioner. Make sure you give him a follow @vohra91 on Instagram. And please, if you find value in the show feel free to share this episode with a collogue that you feel would enjoy it, and please don’t forget to subscribe and give us a 5-star review on your favorite podcast player. I truly do appreciate it.
