Talkin’ Pitt #46 Getting Started in Strength & Conditioning- Dani Evans- Liberty University

This week on Talkin' Pitt, we sit down with Coach Dani Evans, currently in charge of women's lacrosse, volleyball, and field hockey at Liberty University.

Danny shares her journey through the field of strength and conditioning, from discovering the profession late in college to working under some of the best in the game, like Mike Boyle, Jeff Oliver, and the crew at Pitt.

We talk:

• Her non-linear path into S&C and what drew her in
• Interning at Mike Boyle’s, having no idea who he was
• The difference between private sector coaching vs. collegiate teams
• Lessons from stops at Stanford, Merrimack, and Pitt
• Juggling 3 teams in-season at Liberty and how she makes it all work
• Her growth as a coach and person over the last two years

This one’s packed with real talk, mentorship gems, and a behind-the-scenes look at the grind (and joy) of being a collegiate strength coach
