Want to be better at your sport, improve injury resilience, and become a more powerful athlete?

In this episode of the Fuel Your Strength Podcast, strength & conditioning coach Alex Sterner of ‪@ElectrumPerformance‬ discusses misconceptions around strength training for sport (particularly Brazilian jiu-jitsu), how to get the most out of your time lifting, and how to deal with injuries when they come up.

If you've struggled with having enough time to train your sport AND lift in the gym, this episode is for you.

I'm Steph Gaudreau, NASM-CPT, Certified Sports Nutritionist from the International Society of Sports Nutrition (CISSN), Certified Menopause Coaching Specialist (GGS), and athlete over 40.
