THE NHSSCA PODCAST

The official podcast of the National High School Strength Coaches Association. A podcast for high school strength coaches, by high school strength coaches. This podcast aims to provide the listener with training information, advice, and anecdotes through the interviews of IMPACTFUL COACHES in the performance sector. All done with the goal of improving and empowering high school strength coaches everywhere! Also, tune in to stay updated on everything NHSSCA here. New episodes are dropping every month!
My guest this month is Coach Emily Schilling. Coach Schilling is the director of strength and conditioning at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. She works specifically with men’s and women’s golf as well as volleyball. On top of her role at U of I, she also serves on the Illinois NHSSCA advisory board. It was great to be able to have someone on who is in the collegiate sector and involved with the NHSSCA. We go over her background in strength and conditioning. Her journey from starting out at Wisconsin-La Crosse to ending up at Illinois. We cover various topics from mentorship, transitioning athletes from high school to college, keeping training simple, and more. Emily provides a tremendous wealth of knowledge and wisdom from her years of experience at the collegiate level. She provides a great perspective as she works to help bridge the gap between high school and collegiate strength coaches. Enjoy!
