The Coach Dusseault Conditioning Blog is focused on athlete development. You will see take-away posts from my podcast episodes (link to podcast page), and you will also see weekly thoughts and reflections from my time spent in the gym.
Why Have I Started This Blog?
My goal is to help athletes worldwide. In the beginning I spent my time focused on being in the gym, coaching and helping the athletes in my facility. As time went on, I realized that I can reach wider audiences with important messages from this work.
As well, as I always say while coaching… everyone is different. Now in the gym, this means that everyone’s training must be different, or everyone’s technique in any given exercise may look slightly different. However, in this context what I’m saying is that we all LEARN differently. If my goal is truly to reach the most athletes I can and make the biggest impact I can, I must do my best to do that in as many different ways as possible.
If you learn best by reading and you are trying to reach your goals in sport, this blog is for you.
