Smarter Strength w/ Dr. David Skolnik, DPT
Smarter Strength is a show for good coaches who want to be great and great coaches who want to become undeniable.
It’s a show for coaches who choose knowledge over status, value over virility and impact over influence.
While there are countless shows about the theory, science and art of coaching, this show is all about ACTION. Because just like we tell our clients, great intentions are useless without action.
Each week, we will work through the PSA Framework: Problem, Solution, Action.
We will identify a common coaching problem, propose a viable solution and present an action every listener can take right away to become a better coach. The kind of coach who solves complex problems quickly and whose clients get uncommon results.
You won’t become a better coach just by listening to Smarter Strength, but you will if you apply what you learn!

Action Plan
Today’s action plan stems from something that Austin reveals towards the very end of the conversation - it is one of his three daily essentials. Austin strives to end each day knowing that anything he could have done today has not been left for tomorrow. Now, I’m not saying you need to turn this podcast off and get busy immediately - seriously, stick around because this is an incredible episode - but rather I just want you to be little more diligent with creating a daily to-do list that is achievable. I want you to be a smidge more protective of your time, a bit more committed to your priorities and give yourself permission to say “no” I can’t do that today, my scheduled is already full. If it feels good today, do a little bit more tomorrow, and the day after that. By the end of this week, I think you’ll back and say “Wow”, I can’t believe how much I accomplished.
That’s it for this week. Make sure you’re subscribed to this podcast so that you don’t miss next week’s episode with Astrid Naranjo. Astrid is a clinical dietician and nutritionist who joins us to talk about the four pillars of a wholistic health, common self-limiting mindsets that undermine fat loss goals, various ways to increasing caloric expenditure and the importance of asking yourself some very simple questions before you reach for your next snack.
Until then, we wish you STRENGTH and GOOD HEALTH.
