New Podcast Alert 🚨

Huge thanks to Don Saladino for coming on Table Talk.

Topics:
Hard work > hacks: stop trying to out-science effort and anchor what “hard” really is

From special ed kid to top coach: blue-collar roots, resilience, and learning to communicate

Why actors can be tougher to coach than athletes: programming around chaos—injuries, stunt demands, prosthetic suits, travel, and 4 a.m. call times

Performance + physique, not one or the other: movement quality, staying dense/strong while leaning out, and when to push vs. when to pull back

Coaching craft: read the person, regulate volume, use data (HRV/readiness) without becoming a slave to it

Business & culture: protecting client privacy, building a team, killing the ego, and the reality of keeping a gym alive when the numbers get ugly

Practical takeaways: “A-block” practice warm-ups, pick the right modality (yes, the air bike), earn the bar on your back, and keep the training simple instead of sexy

This Table Talk episode—“Hard Work Is The Only Hack: A Celebrity Coach’s Guide To Real Results” with Don Saladino (#377)—is on elitefts YouTube, Spotify, and all podcast networks.
