After a combined four decades of coaching athletes, Josh and Andy sit down to unpack the biggest lessons they wish they’d learned sooner. They cover why mastering movement mechanics early prevents decades of pain, how prioritizing the “big levers” (sleep, whole foods, consistent training) beats any quick fix in health and fitness. They share candid stories about chasing aesthetics, discovering the power of exciting goals, and learning to persevere through inevitable highs and lows. Whether you’re a teen just stepping into the weight room or a lifelong athlete refining your game, this episode distills forty years of trial, error, and success into actionable wisdom.
