I’m Austin Jochum — strength coach, softball addict, former athlete who refuses to “retire” into dad-bod life, and founder of Jochum Strength. I coach everyday people the same way I train athletes: with intention, curiosity, and a stubborn willingness to keep showing up even when life gets heavy.

I didn’t build JST to sell shortcuts or secret formulas. I built it because I’ve lived the reality most athletes face after sports:

You get older.

Your body gets creaky.

Work, family, stress, and life pile up.

And suddenly you realize you still want to compete — just without feeling like your back is made of expired beef jerky.

So I built a system that makes you strong again in a way that works for real people, not full-time professional athletes. I believe training should build your life, not steal from it. It should make you better at the things that matter — hoisting kids, chasing goals, walking into tournaments confident, and doing dumb athletic stuff with your friends because it’s fun.

My philosophy is simple:

• Move well.
• Train hard with purpose.
• Eat real food.
• Grow as a person.
• Show up again tomorrow.

That’s the heart of Just Keep Swinging.

It’s not perfect reps or perfect programs — it’s consistency, growth, and a mindset you choose every day.

If you’re here, it’s because some part of you still wants to be an athlete. I’m here to help you keep that part alive.

Just Keep Swinging.
