Matt Gary on his new book the Game Day Coaching Manual and his breakdown of some key performances at Sheffield. Matt and his wife Sioux-z are game day coaching legends. His new book should be essential reading for anyone involved in powerlifting. We talk about the core tenets of Matt’s gameday approach and get into Sheffield, which we all agree is the most important competition in powerlifting history. Matt has an infectious enthusiasm for powerlifting and was extremely generous in sharing decades of game day wisdom with us in a way that makes it very easy to listen and learn. We hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did!

Interview with John Burford and Julia Williams. John Burford is the head coach of the Junior and Sub-Junior US National Team. We talked about his background, the results of Powerlifting America High School Nationals in Scranton PA, the current standings for the US National Team, and look ahead to Junior and Sub-Junior Nationals in Scottsdale this June 2-4 and IPF Junior and Sub-Junior worlds in Romania August 24 – September 3. There is a lot that goes into organizing a US National team so we hope this gives a greater appreciation for John and the hard work he does for the sport of powerlifting.
