Dan John Interview
Dan John is one of the most influential and popular authors in the Sports Performance Community. Dan has competed in Track & Field, Olympic Weightlifting, and Highland games a the highest level. He was an All-American Thrower in the discus and still holds the American Record in the Weight Pentathlon. Dan John is the author of Intervention, Never Let Go, and Mass Made Simple. He has also co-authored Easy Strength with Pavel Tsatsouline. I had the opportunity to sit down and interview Dan for this podcast during the last day of discus camp. Our discussion covered many topics including the need to write Intervention, his 4 quadrants, youth training in America, 3 musts for trainers, periodization, assessment, and teaching the hip hinge.
For the last several years, I have made the trip to Granville, Ohio to visit with Dan at John Powell’s Throwing Camp on the campus of Denison University. The first year, my assistants and I sat in an on-campus apartment and talked for hours about training, the industry, and life in general. To say if was a invaluable learning experience is an understatement.
Year two found me making the trek to my former place of employment twice. The first time ended up being an outstanding roundtable of sorts as Nic Bronkal, Elitefts.com™ Advisor, J.L Holdsworth, myself, Derek Fry, and Nick Showman joined John Powell and Dan John. Anytime, you have a collection of coaches able to share ideas without ego, everyone involved wins.
