In this week\u2019s episode of The Podcast I got to sit down and building out a unique staff structure and the development of a yearlong training program with Kennesaw State\u2019s Emmet Van Der Snick. Throughout the 30 plus minute discussion Emmet and I get into:

\xa0

1)\xa0 \xa0 The role of PT school in his development, and how it continues to impact him professionally

2)\xa0 \xa0 How having different directors within a department is helping their department progress

3)\xa0 \xa0 Where his philosophy of training formulated, and how it has grown through his different stops.

4)\xa0 \xa0 Specific progressions that he utilizes and has success with.

5)\xa0 \xa0 The impact of today\u2019s culture in sports and the transfer portal on his training prescriptions.

Emmet shared with us some great insight into the formation of their multiple director structure at KSU and why this could be a more viable option for departments going forward.\xa0 I also can\u2019t thank him enough for being so open to share so in-depth to what his programming is with his student athletes, that\u2019s a great look inside not just what he\u2019s programming but the thoughts behind it. I\u2019m excited that I got to speak with him and for his future as a practitioner. Make sure you give him a follow @coach_van_der_snick on Instagram.
