Rants of a Strength & Conditioning MadMan

I did not think this book was going to be so hard to put down. I devoured this book in a 3 or 4 days and could NOT put it down. I did not think Kurt was going to share so much intense experiences he has been through as a Strength & Conditioning Coach. There are some very hard hitting truths in this book from a career and social standpoint with regards to the strange things that happen in this industry / profession.I highly recommend this book to experienced, intermediate and beginner coaches, including those merely THINKING about entering this industry. It's a GREAT book!

I love the way Kurt is brutally honest and blunt about life and the profession of strength and conditioning, in a world where people can say one thing and mean another his brutal honesty is a breathe of fresh air and inspires me to dig deeper/become a better strength coach for my athletes!

Do you like hearing the burtal honest truth about the S&C field? Do you like knowing that all the things in S&C that frustrate you someone has already put on paper? Do you like donating money to amazing causes?Buy. This. Book.Kurt is an amazing coach and person who constantly strives to improve himself and the field he works in. Reading his book of rants will promote educated discussion and hopefully ruffle some feathers enough to see positive change in the right direction for S&C professionals.

Fantastic book that’s brutally honest about the S&C field. I think it should be a must read for anyone who works with athletes, administrators, coaches, and parents. So much common sense knowledge that we are clearing lacking in this profession right now. The money also goes to a good cause (NSF).

I really enjoyed this book, I loved his passion & transparency. Great read with some very thought provoking ideas. Awesome ideas on staff, personal, and professional evaluations. I wish I had read this years ago, great wisdom in this book.

Being a S&C coach myself this hits home harder than you think! Kurt holds nothing back in this one and I've gained even more respect for him as a coach and mentor!

Love this book. Any one in the S&C field should read this..... coaches in all of the iron sports can benefit from this book. It's an easy and relate able read. I didn't want to put it down!

Unfiltered TRUTH! Great rants from a veteran coach, giving his insight on the status of the field of strength & conditioning.
