EP 226: RAY ZINGLER | How To Help Kids Love Training

Today we have the return of an OG to the pod, Ray Zingler of Zingler Strength and conditioning. In our time together today we talk about the importance of making training fun and engaging for kids, rather than focusing on strict technique, emphasizing the need for kids to develop a wide range of athletic skills and expose them to different sports and movements, the misconception of suboptimal movements and the importance of context in training. Ray also discusses his evolution in training philosophy, moving away from rigid stances and embracing individualized approaches. He shares his experience with the Simple and Sinister program and how it changed his perspective on training. We also get into his love for reading and recommends books on hospitality, fatherhood, and emotional strength.
