With your Permission, We'll even play your message live on the air!A college football program can win big and still feel one play away from chaos. We sat down with Brandon Gilbert, assistant strength and conditioning coach at the University of Georgia, to talk about what fans rarely hear: the pressure points that sit under every Saturday, the career risk coaches live with, and why “wins and losses” can shape job security even when you’re not calling plays.Brandon walks us through life as a husband and father while working in the SEC, where there’s basically no offseason, only different phases of the grind. We talk about planting roots in Georgia, leaning on church and family support, and what it looks like to lead a household with three kids in different seasons plus a brand-new dog adding its own kind of energy. If you’re searching for honest conversations about work-life balance, leadership, and family priorities, this one hits home.We also go behind the curtain on strength and conditioning: culture-setting, training cycles, coaching interns, and how injury trends like soft tissue issues can put a strength staff under the microscope. Then Brandon shares a vulnerable story about losing his father, carrying legacy forward, and turning pain into purpose. We close with the loss he still can’t shake and what “reset” really means in football and in life.Subscribe for more real conversations, share this with a coach or sports fan who needs it, and leave a review telling us what part of Brandon’s story stuck with you most.Our team will choose random (but timely) episodes from our previous three seasons (which are our most popular ever!) to share with our listeners during the slower parts of a long podcast season.
