In this episode we sit down and have a cup of coffee with strength & conditioning coach Alena Luciani. Alena is the assistant strength coach at York University in Toronto, Ontario and also runs an online platform called training2xl in which she produces content about lifestyle, nutrition, and exercise. \nShe is truly passionate about her career, which i\u2019m sure you will notice when listening to her talk. We cover various topics such as why she became a strength coach, how she sets goals, how physical therapy and strength coaches can work together, and the importance of building relationships.\nAlena is one of the most authentic and passionate people we have had the opportunity to interview and she brings a ton of value that you won\u2019t want to miss. Even if you are from a different field, the topics that are discussed hold true to more than just a career.\nSit back, brew a cup, and enjoy episode 9 of the PTCOFFEECAST!\nPlease head over to iTunes subscribe and leave us a review.
