This week on iTunes, Stitcher and Spreaker, STT interviews a living legend in the strength and conditioning field. Gayle Hatch’s contributions to Olympic-style weightlifting and strength training are quite considerable. He has been active as a weightlifting and strength & conditioning coach for more than thirty-five years. Among Hatch’s many accomplishments are memberships in both the USA Weightlifting and USA Strength and Conditioning Coaches Halls of Fame and he served as Head Coach of the men’s 2004 USA Olympic Weightlifting Team that competed in Athens, Greece, the home of the modern Olympics. Only one other Louisianian has ever been an Olympic Head Coach – Skip Bertman, 1996 US Olympic Head Coach for baseball.
