Welcome to Nate Young Sports Performance & Education

Not everyone wants to be a strength coach, but I do.


More importantly, I believe strength and conditioning is a critical part of every athlete’s journey—whether you’re coaching high school kids, working with college athletes, or training as a recreational lifter looking to stay durable. My goal with this site is simple: put practical, usable information into the hands of coaches and athletes who are ready to put it to work.


To give you a little context, this isn't just theory:

  • 20+ Years in the Trenches: I’ve spent two decades as a strength and conditioning coach, working across Division I, Division III, and military settings.
  • In the Iron Game: I’ve competed in powerlifting, spent dozens of hours reading and researching exercise science literature, and am currently navigating my own injury rehab.

I don't share that background to brag or hard-sell you. I tell you because I want you to know this isn't just another schmo on the internet trying to grab your money.


What You Can Expect From This Site


This platform is built to be down-to-earth, easy to read, and immediately usable. You’ll be able to take almost everything posted here—from main lift programming and warm-up strategies to smart exercise selection—and apply it directly to your own training or your athletes' workouts that same day.


Getting Started


  • Digital & Physical Copies: My first product, The Iron Playbook: How to Build Unbreakable Football Athletes, is available right here on this platform as an instant digital PDF download. If you prefer a physical paperback edition, you can grab a copy over on Amazon.
