In part two of my conversation with Coach Jamie Wynn, we pick up with one of the more unique stops in her career: training performers with Cirque du Soleil. Jamie explains why performers doing hundreds of shows a year need strength and conditioning, what that environment taught her about overuse injuries and why being highly specialized doesn't necessarily mean you're prepared for everything your body will face. We talk about how those lessons influenced the way she trains collegiate athletes today, particularly when it comes to building a broad training base, improving movement literacy and bringing purpose and intent to every training session.

From there, we follow Jamie's career through more stops at UNLV, Auburn, SMU and back to UNLV, where she's continued developing as a coach and leader. We talk about learning from different environments, improving communication and soft skills, and knowing when you need another tool in the toolbox. Jamie also shares what she's building outside the weight room, including several apps she developed herself, and her experience working with the Cleveland Browns and attending the NFL Women's Forum. No matter where Jamie goes next, the common thread is clear: keep learning, be a great teammate and find ways to get better.
