Mike Boyle: Inside the Mind of a Strength Legend - Performance, Rehab, and Combating Hamstring Injuries

Welcome to the True Sports Physical Therapy Podcast. In this episode, we sit down with Mike Boyle, one of the most influential strength and conditioning coaches in the world and founder of Mike Boyle Strength and Conditioning. Known for shaping the modern approach to athletic development, Mike joins Dr. Yoni Rosenblatt for a deep, practical, and candid conversation on what it takes to build strong, resilient athletes. Both in the gym and in life.

Mike shares his journey from the early days of athletic training at Boston University to becoming a pioneering figure in strength and conditioning. He reflects on the evolution of the field, the mentors who shaped him, and the mindset that keeps him learning and leading at 66 years old.

This episode dives deep into the science and simplicity of great coaching, covering topics that every physical therapist and strength coach will find invaluable. We cover all topics from the evolution of strength and conditioning and the lessons from a 40-year career, building resilient hamstrings and why traditional leg curls miss the mark, how to integrate sprinting and eccentric loading to prevent hamstring injuries, the importance of curiosity, mentorship, and showing up with consistency, the “nerdification” of strength training and how to focus on what actually matters and bridging the gap between rehab and performance through collaboration and curiosity.

Mike’s wisdom extends beyond sets and reps. He explains how humility, consistency, and a relentless desire to learn have fueled his success: lessons that resonate far beyond the gym. From his take on force plates and Nordic hamstring training to his favorite books and leadership philosophy, this is a masterclass in longevity, adaptability, and excellence.

Whether you’re a sports PT, strength coach, or performance professional, this conversation is packed with insight from one of the greats in our field.

Watch now to hear how Mike Boyle continues to lead, teach, and inspire the next generation of rehab and performance professionals.
