About this episode

Bo Sandoval discusses the importance of execution and integration in strength and conditioning, along with critiques of the industry.

We sit down with Bo Sandoval —ex-UFCPI S&C, now Texas A&M (Professor of Practice) + facility design consultant + co-founder of Workbuilt —to talk about what actually moves the needle: execution, integration, and standards. In this Playbook: • Execution is the separator: Bo’s framework: enter → execute → exit . If you can’t control those three, “more load” is just chaos. Positional accuracy governs load (weight, speed, complexity, all of it). • Big critique of the industry: - Mentorship has softened—too little live technical interrogation (“why that exercise, how does it connect?”). - Too few practitioners in real leadership (ADs, directors, presidents). Without practitioner-led governance, performance staff get handcuffed by non-performance decision-makers. • Stop measuring just to measure: assessment doesn’t need lab-level purity, but it must answer: are we on track or drifting? And Bo’s hot nerd point—vertical jump research is massive; horizontal/rotational displacement measurement is the next frontier. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TeamBuildr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ : Coaches, revolutionise your training programs with their cutting-edge platform.
