Coach Derek - Coachcantieni
Derek got his CSCS & ATC to work with the Seattle Mariners.
Join us as we sit down with Coach Derek, who opens up about his transformative journey influenced by personal injuries, grueling rehabs, and an undying passion for sports performance. Derek's story is nothing short of extraordinary—he swiftly transitioned from an unpaid intern to a full-time strength coach at the University of San Diego and then leaped into professional baseball with the Padres and Athletics. He candidly shares the highs and lows, including the challenges of family relocations and job instability, that shaped his path to becoming a strength coach for the Seattle Mariners.
Transitioning between roles in the strength and conditioning world can be tumultuous, and Derek sheds light on the harsh realities of this field. From frequent changes in leadership to the evolving philosophies within sports organizations, Derek's experiences highlight the need for adaptability and resilience. We delve into the financial sacrifices that come with the territory and discuss his current role at Lifetime's Biltmore location in Phoenix, Arizona. Here, Derek enjoys state-of-the-art facilities and the stability that contrasts sharply with the unpredictable nature of professional sports. His insights on the professional baseball landscape, where fresh ideas often overshadow seasoned experience, are particularly eye-opening.
But the journey doesn't end on the field. Derek also brings his expertise to the business side of fitness, where he now manages and trains a team of personal trainers. He emphasizes the importance of sweat equity, client relationships, and self-care, while navigating the shift from performance coaching to a business-oriented approach. We wrap up with a discussion on his social media presence, balancing a busy family life, and his current and future endeavors. This episode is a treasure trove of insights and inspiration, perfect for anyone passionate about fitness, coaching, and personal growth.
