Parisi Podcast 033- From Research to Reality: Translating Science Into Coaching Decisions (Part 2)

How do performance coaches take research off the page and apply it inside a real training session? In Part 2 of this two-part series, Parisi Podcast host Casey Lee dives into how coaches can translate sports science into practical, athlete-centered coaching decisions. Casey breaks down why research should guide—but never dictate—training, how to filter studies based on population and relevance, and how to think in principles rather than rigid tools or methods. He also explains how understanding research helps coaches communicate more effectively with athletes, parents, and sport coaches, build trust, and position themselves as confident decision-makers. This episode is essential listening for strength and conditioning coaches, speed and agility coaches, and performance professionals who want to bridge the gap between evidence-based research and real-world coaching.
