GET STRONG with Oklahoma Sooners Strength Coach Bennie Wylie

I’m super-pumped today to share with you one of my great friends and most-respected strength & conditioning coaches in the world, Coach Bennie Wylie. If you recognize his name, we worked and competed together on NBC STRONG (now streaming on Netflix). Nowadays, Bennie is churning out great athletes as the Head Football Strength, Speed, and Conditioning Coach at the University of Oklahoma.

I believe the best of the best coaches have the ability to not only teach you what to do, but they have the ability to motivate & inspire you to do it also. Bennie is one of those coaches that can do ALL of that…and then some. He simply makes people BETTER. 

In today’s episode, we talk topics such as:

  • Most important habits in and out of the weight room.
  • Bennie’s morning and evening routine.
  • Power of a winning mindset.
  • Adversity, set-back, and injury and how it can make you even better.
  • The importance of relationship building.
  • Bennie’s favorite exercises to get stronger and faster.
  • Bennie’s ONE piece of advice on nutrition.
  • The one thing that will help all athletes get better.
  • And of course…we had to talk a bit about our experience on STRONG.

Listen in to this episode as I know it will get you better and then please share it on your social media so that your team, family, friends, and co-workers can be inspired also.
