In Part 1 of our conversation with Rett Larson, we dive into the global perspective he brings to the strength and conditioning world. Rett has worked with elite athletes across multiple continents, including his role with the Chinese women's national volleyball team—a team with a cultural presence and history that goes far beyond the sport itself. He talks about the challenge and importance of not overhauling what already works, and instead finding ways to integrate new ideas without disrupting a winning formula. From cultural expectations to coaching philosophy, Rett explains how humility and adaptability are key when stepping into an unfamiliar system. We also get into the differences between coaching in the United States and abroad, including how American "rah rah" intensity is sometimes seen as over the top. Rett shares how his own beliefs around training were challenged by working with athletes and coaches who didn’t necessarily agree with the so-called sacred cows of Western programming. There’s plenty of insight here for anyone who wants to expand their coaching lens and learn how to gain trust in new environments. Whether you're just starting out or have been coaching for years, this part of the conversation lays a strong foundation for what’s coming in Part 2.…

In Part 2 of this powerful conversation, Britt Achterhoff goes even deeper into the life experiences that shaped her personal and professional path. She opens up about one of the most difficult periods of her life—tearing her ACL while her father was terminally ill and struggling academically due to undiagnosed ADHD. Through all of this, one person stood solid in her corner: her strength coach, Dennis “D Love” Love. Britt credits him with not only giving her a place to belong, but also with showing her what leadership, mentorship, and care truly look like. That pivotal support became the root of her passion for the industry and her mission to make an impact beyond equipment sales. Britt also reflects on how her experiences—from student leadership to moments of being the only woman in high-level performance meetings—have uniquely positioned her to lead from a place of empathy and real-world perspective. She discusses her “existential career crisis” after becoming a mom of two, and how that inspired her to create professional development conversations for coaches that center on real life—not just sets and reps. This episode is a raw reminder that what happens off the field or outside the weight room often shapes us the most, and Britt’s story is a powerful call to action for supporting the whole person—not just the professional title.
