In Episode 013 of the D&D Fitness Radio Podcast, we speak with Assistant Strength & Conditioning Coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, Ryan Reynolds. When not being mistaken for a Hollywood actor, Ryan works on a daily basis with some of the top athletes in the NFL including Travis Kelce, Justin Houston, Tyreek Hill, Eric Barry and Kareem Hunt. We speak directly with Ryan about the details around working with ultra-talented athletes – some of whom train extremely hard throughout the year, while others may simply be thriving and surviving on superior genetics and talent. There are also many constraints involved with working in professional sports as a Strength and Conditioning coach including the limited contact time with the athletes in the off-season. At the same time, strength coaches experience significant scrutiny by management, the coaching staff and the general public because of the physical nature of the game of football.

Ryan previously worked as a strength coach at UCLA football, Arizona State University, University of Louisville and the University of Iowa before joining the Chiefs a few years ago. We look forward to seeing how the team does in the upcoming season.
