  • Summary

  • In this episode of the “Strength Coach Collective” podcast, host Chris Guerrero talks with veteran coach Jason Leydon, founder of CrossFit Milford and Conquer Athlete.

    Jason has coached a number of elite athletes throughout his career, including CrossFit Games podium finishers, international record-holding powerlifters, USA Weightlifting national-team members, All-American wrestlers and state-champion basketball players.

    Today, Jason dives into what truly sets great coaches apart—no matter who their clients are: a deep understanding of training principles, the ability to adapt to the individual, and a commitment to community and connection.

    He explains why chasing methods before mastering the basics can limit a coach’s potential, and he shares tips for building a strong coaching career and avoiding burnout.

    Whether you’re working with competitive athletes or the general public, this episode will challenge you to reflect on how you can help your clients best.
