As the head strength and conditioning coach at the University of Mary, Michael Silbernagel places a detailed emphasis on communication, accountability, attitude, discipline, maintaining a high standard of care for the student-athlete.

    Another great one, got to get a segment on how egotistical some of us coaches can be. Tried an exercise recently that I saw on another 2 strength coaches’ IG. After the first time I commented regarding its difficulty & efficiency so they replied to try again & make another video. I did so adding a variation to it that made more sense and asked their opinions. Bith ignored the tag (idt they liked my moderation & took it personally)
