Mike Woicik | 6 Super Bowl Rings, Two Dynasties, and a Lifetime of Lessons
About this episode
Mike Woicik discusses his extensive career in strength and conditioning within the NFL, sharing insights on training methods and coaching philosophy.
Mike Woicik is one of the most accomplished strength and conditioning coaches in NFL history. Across 30 years in the league, he won six Super Bowl championships — three with the Dallas Cowboys and three with the New England Patriots — after beginning his career at Springfield College and Syracuse. Mike joins Justin to look back at the evolution of strength and conditioning through a career that spanned multiple eras of the profession. They discuss the influence of Soviet training methods, Boyd Epley’s impact on Mike early in his career, bringing a college-style development program into the NFL, position-specific conditioning, speed and power development, single-leg training, in-season strength, testing, technology, and return-to-play. They also discuss what Mike believes the role of a strength coach should actually be. After decades working behind the scenes with some of football’s greatest teams and players, his philosophy remains simple: the job is about helping the athletes — not making the strength coach the center of attention. ___ CONNECT WITH US: 🌎Site: https://strengthcoachnetwork.com/ ___ From our sponsors: Hawkin Dynamics 🌎Site: https://www.hawkindynamics.com/ Hawkin…
