Decoding Excellence: Recent Episodes
Adam Ringler
The Decoding Excellence Show, hosted by Adam Ringler, is an exploration of the human element behind world-class performers. A bit-by-bit deconstruction of the architecture and coding for human excellence. The show is centered around intimate conversations with masters of their craft, in order to deconstruct and decode the tools, tactics, and techniques that encapsulates excellence.
In this Cardio Talk episode of the Decoding Excellence Show, I break down how most coaches misuse wearable technology and workload monitoring — turning valuable data into noise instead of insight. Through a detailed return-to-play case study, I walk step-by-step through how I assess individual loading, bridge the gap back to team inclusion, and structure training progressions that actually transfer to performance.
I also unpack my personal ethos on data and decision-making — how we as coaches can move from collecting metrics to creating meaning. The goal isn’t more data; it’s better timing, context, and action. I share how I’m rethinking the future of sport science: accessible, concise, and actionable information delivered to the right people, in real time, when it matters most.
Raw, unfiltered, and straight from a 40-minute ruck walk, this episode explores how to build systems that serve athletes — not overwhelm them. Tune in, reflect, and let’s keep decoding what excellence really looks like in modern high-performance coaching.

In this Cardio Talk episode of the Decoding Excellence Show, I unpack five conversations that bridge technology, nutrition, and training as we head into the start of the college basketball season.
First, in this week’s Status Update, I share how we’re just three days away from tipping off the season and reflect on the journey that’s led us here. From spring development work to summer grind sessions, every rep and every meeting has built to this moment. I talk about the shift from preparation to performance and how the energy, focus, and readiness inside the gym feels different when it’s finally game week.
Next, in the Technology segment, I break down how we’re using the VALD Performance NordBord to monitor hamstring health and readiness. This tool captures eccentric and isometric strength, quantifies left-right asymmetries, and helps us make better decisions on load management and rehab. I share how integrating the NordBord has sharpened our approach to performance monitoring and athlete resilience.
In the Health section, I dive into the latest research from Rhonda Patrick and Peter Attia on creatine supplementation— not just as a muscle enhancer, but as a cognitive and recovery optimizer. I discuss how creatine supports both physical and mental performance, our dosing protocols, and why I consider it one of the most underrated foundations for athlete health.
Then, in Nutrition, I talk through carb cycling — why we keep carbohydrates lower on off days and ramp them up on high-intensity training or game days. I discuss how carbohydrate timing impacts glycogen replenishment, recovery, and metabolic flexibility, and how this strategy teaches athletes to fuel with purpose rather than habit.
Lastly, I dive into the Training section, where I share why I’m fired up about adding the OxeFit XS1 Smart Gym to our training environment. With dual digital motors, up to 250 lbs of deck tension, 140 lbs of rack resistance, and an integrated force plate and 32” touchscreen, this system combines precision, data, and adaptability. I break down how I plan to integrate it for velocity-based work, power profiling, and athlete engagement — bringing next-gen tech into a collegiate setting.
Raw, unfiltered, and straight from the ruck — this episode dives into the tools, strategies, and philosophies shaping modern high-performance environments.

In this Cardio Talk episode of the Decoding Excellence Show, I unpack three powerful conversations shaping coaching, performance, and personal growth.
First, I reflect on the passing of Coach Kurt Hester, a true icon in Strength and Conditioning. His career embodied grit, resilience, and authenticity—and his legacy challenges all of us to coach with more heart, purpose, and conviction.
Next, I dive into Tim Gabbett’s ACWR and EWMA principles, breaking down why temporary overreaching during October training isn’t reckless—it’s strategic. I explore how calculated load management builds the stress tolerance and robustness athletes need heading into non-conference tournaments and early-season play.
Lastly, I share a personal update on my nutrition journey using the Macrofactor app—how I’m reverse dieting out of a long summer cut, slowly increasing calories and carbohydrates to rebuild strength and muscle. I talk about the process, mindset, and science behind adding quality weight while maintaining performance.
Raw, unfiltered, and straight from the ruck—this episode blends science, coaching, and personal insight for anyone chasing excellence on and off the floor.

In this raw and unfiltered Cardio Talk edition of the Decoding Excellence Show, I dive into two topics that are reshaping the way we think about performance in college athletics.
First up: The Evolution of Women’s Basketball Training. The women’s game has grown more physical, more explosive, and more demanding than ever before. Yet too often, strength coaches still program light, cautious workouts—more bands and calisthenics than barbells and heavy loads. In this conversation, I break down why that approach sells athletes short, and why the modern women’s basketball player needs real weight training, exposure to grinding lifts, and intentional preparation for the realities of elite competition.
If we’re serious about preparing athletes for the court, then our training has to meet the actual demands of today’s women’s game.
Second: Managing Travel Fatigue in College Hoops. The reality of long flights, late nights, and back-to-back games across time zones takes a massive toll on player readiness and performance. I outline five science-backed strategies to help athletes handle travel stress: controlling light exposure, prioritizing hydration, timing meals around the body clock, moving early and often, and protecting sleep quality.
These simple adjustments can give athletes the edge they need to stay sharp, recover faster, and perform when it matters most.
This ruck walk conversation is all about cutting through the fluff and talking shop—strength training that truly prepares women’s basketball athletes, and practical tools for optimizing performance on the road. No script, no edits—just real talk about what works.

In this “Cardio Talk” edition of the Decoding Excellence Show, I’m diving into pre-season basketball conditioning tests—and why different coaches lean on very different approaches.
Some favor more aerobic-based tests like the mile run or 3-minute baseline touches, while others prefer anaerobic measures like side-line touches or the 300-yard shuttle. Both approaches have their place, but which one actually prepares athletes best?
In this episode, I break down:
- The pros and cons of aerobic vs. anaerobic conditioning tests
- What we’re using here at Colorado this pre-season
- Why building a strong aerobic base is critical for October’s 20-hour practice weeks
- How these tests tie into bigger decisions on readiness, recovery, and performance
Whether you’re a coach, athlete, or sport scientist, this Walk & Talk pulls back the curtain on how we evaluate and prepare our teams for the grind ahead.
If you’re serious about training design, athlete monitoring, or building durable and explosive players, this one’s loaded with practical takeaways you can apply immediately.

Structuring our four-day training split:
- Day 1 & 2: Progressive overload strength training (Upper/Lower)
- Day 3: Escalating Density Training (EDT) conditioning circuits
- Day 4: Tissue prep for intensive plyometric and power work
- Using leadership development by seeding EDT teams to encourage athlete-led problem solving
- First half of summer = tissue prep (ankle/knee/hip focus)
- Second half = power development through jumps, bounds, speed deadlifts, and VBT barbell work
- Avoiding plyometric progression errors with long-duration isometrics & tendon prehab
- Leveraging Output Sports VBT to train in the speed-strength zone
- Applying Post-Activation Potentiation (PAP) in jump & power sessions
- Ending summer with CU’s legendary dunk contest—weighted balls, dodgeballs, deflated balls, and more to challenge grip, creativity, and athleticism
Whether you’re a strength coach, sport scientist, or high-performance practitioner, this episode is a complete blueprint of how we’re navigating modern college basketball’s evolving landscape—balancing science, art, and the gritty realities of athlete development.

In this episode of The Decoding Excellence Show, I’m pulling back the curtain on what it really takes to hire the right person to lead a collegiate strength & conditioning or sport performance department.
After nearly a decade at the University of Colorado—contributing to a sport science and high performance model while working with Women’s Basketball and Volleyball—I’ve seen firsthand what works, what fails, and why so many NCAA programs miss the mark.
This isn’t about titles, certifications, or flashy tech. It’s about leadership.
The kind of leadership that:
✔ Understands the demands of the weight room and the locker room.
✔ Earns trust across sports medicine, nutrition, psychology, and coaching staffs.
✔ Inspires a culture where athletes thrive and practitioners grow.
Whether you’re an athletic director, coach, or practitioner, this episode will challenge you to rethink how you evaluate talent for these critical roles—and why social media clout isn’t a substitute for real-world experience.
🎧 What You’ll Learn:
- The three non-negotiables every Director of Sport Performance should have.
- Why NCAA programs fail when they chase trends over substance.
- How to spot a true leader versus a résumé or Instagram-built persona.
- Lessons from building Colorado’s sport science program over 9 years.
If your program is serious about athlete health, performance, and staff longevity, this conversation is a must-listen.
👉 Tune in now and rethink how you’re staffing your high performance ecosystem.
👟 Recorded while walking and reflecting—raw, unfiltered, and straight from the trenches.
Whether you’re on your own walk, stuck in traffic, or setting up the gym—this is your behind-the-scenes peek into how I think, plan, and process high performance. Listen in. Take notes. Let’s get better.

In this Cardio Talks episode of The Decoding Excellence Show, I’m breaking down one of the most overlooked threats to athlete recovery: late-night screen time and blue light exposure.
Whether you're a performance coach, sport scientist, or former athlete trying to stay sharp—this conversation cuts into the heart of why your HRV, deep sleep, and overall recovery metrics might be lagging.
We're talking science-backed disruptions to circadian rhythms, CNS fatigue, and why your phone might be robbing you of the restorative sleep your body needs to train hard and bounce back.
I cover:
- How blue light delays melatonin and pushes deep sleep into shallower phases
- The real reason HRV stays depressed after nights with poor sleep hygiene
- What does and doesn’t work—f.lux, Night Shift mode, and screen filters
- My personal stack: Roka x Huberman Wind Down Glasses, Portal (Magnesium Glycinate, L-Theanine, Glycine, Apigenin), and red light environments
- Why a "power-down routine" can be the difference between winning and flatlining in comp season
- What WHOOP & Oura data really say about sleep disruption
This isn’t a fluffy lifestyle chat. It’s a tactical, field-tested conversation based on what I see working with elite athletes at Colorado and remote pros who need every recovery edge they can get.
If your deep sleep scores are low, or you’re feeling like your readiness just isn’t rebounding after tough training days—this episode might be your blueprint for fixing it.

In this episode of the Decoding Excellence Show, I’m sharing a solo Q&A I originally recorded for the Former Athlete Society. Whether you're freshly out of sport or years removed, this one cuts deep into what really matters: rebuilding discipline, identity, and structure after athletics.
I break down four of the most common (and crucial) questions I hear from former athletes navigating life after sport:
- How do I stay motivated like I was in college?
→ The truth: motivation fades—systems stick. I explain how to build a personal structure that keeps you consistent. - How can I bring that game-day mindset to real life?
→ Simple: Sunday is your new game day. Learn how to plan your week like you used to prep for an opponent. - Why does my nutrition fall apart now?
→ You had structure before—training tables, team lifts, accountability. Here’s how to replicate that for real life. - I feel like I peaked in college. Now what?
→ That athlete? Still in you. I’ll show you how to reframe your identity as a competitive edge, not a memory.
Whether you're in the gym, on a walk, or commuting—this is your reset button. Listen in. Take notes. Let’s get better.
Additionally, I share details about the Former Athlete Society—my community designed for former college athletes looking to level up their fitness, training, and recovery. Don’t miss this value-packed episode!

In this episode of the Decoding Excellence Show, I'm sharing a handful of the things that have been grabbing my attention lately—from what I'm reading to what I'm watching, buying, doing, and listening to.
We’re talking about Dan John’s new book The ABCs (and Fs) of Strength Training and how Easy Strength changed my approach early in my coaching career. I’ll break down a recent Flagrant podcast episode with Pete Buttigieg, some new health tech I'm using to stay ahead of cardiovascular risk, my endless battle to perfect air-fried chicken for meal prepping (spoiler: it’s harder than it looks), and why I’m running back through the entire Run the Jewels discography right now.
It’s casual. It’s personal. It’s a quick window into the stuff that's fueling the fire behind the scenes.

Next, I share insights into the testing and monitoring strategies we use to optimize athlete performance. Specifically, I discuss the use of force plates for Countermovement Jump Testing and how workload monitoring plays a pivotal role in keeping players at their peak on the hardwood.
Finally, I pull back the curtain on The Former Athlete Society, the Skool community I’ve built to support former college athletes. I break down all the features, including:

In this episode of the Decoding Excellence Show, I'm discussing some of the new things we're doing around University of Colorado Boulder. It's been some time since I've been behind the microphone and I'm just dusting off the thing. We talk about some of the new technologies we're utilizing within our athletic department, some of the new pre-participation athlete benchmarking we're conducting, and a general run-down of our summer staff. It was a fun show where I break out the microphone and headphones and get rapping about what's on my mind. If your a fan of sports performance technologies, it's usage within high performance sport organizations, I think you'll get A LOT out of this show.

In this episode of the Decoding Excellence Show, I'm discussing the all too common debate between sport science and performance coaching. To be fair, it is a common debate I hear often between the pure academic sport scientists and strength and conditioning coaches "in the field". In this Random Episode, I dive into this debate between an evidence-led, sport science, data-driven decision model versus the applied nature of strength and conditioning or sport coaching. This was a fun episode to record because I get on a roll talking about this material.
As a reminder, our Random Shows shows are a quick 15-25 minute episode where I typically discuss current industry trends, research reads, current events, and occasionally offer my insights into the training process that we're undertaking each week. This episode ran longer because sport science and it's applied usage is an area I'm incredibly passionate about. i go into these random shows without notes but full of passion, insights, and opinions. I believe with conviction, you'll take away something interesting from this show and I hope it delivers you a little bit of value in your day.

In this episode of the Decoding Excellence Show, I'm discussing an issue I hear too often regarding sport science and it's applied nature within high performance sport.

In this episode of the Decoding Excellence Show, I'm speaking with Industry Veteran and High Performance Practitioner, Dan Howells. Dan has experience at US Ski & Snowboard, the English Institute of Sport (EIS), Rugby Union and Rugby 7s, and most recently, in the Major League Baseball (MLB) Houston Astros organization. You do not want to miss this show!
Dan recently formed Collaborate Sports during the initial lockdowns through COVID as a means of connecting developing coaches and practitioners through a personal development focus. Since then, he has reached over 400 hundred practitioners from varying countries using the personal development platform he has created. He provides opportunities to others through Bespoke Coaching/Mentoring, Monthly Interactive Webinars with guest presenters, and the Interactive Personal Development (IPD) Programme.
The IPD was the main focus of building a platform to network other coaches together in a learning environment and make mentorship more affordable for younger and developing coaches. The IPD allows 10-12 coaches to partake in a 6-month course, focusing on specific content dependent on the Technical or Non Technical nature of the programmes.
Live attendance means interaction is central to the programme where attendees can take the information shared and navigate how to apply it to their own world through the help of Dan and others in the programme. The costs are more affordable due to the group nature of the programme, and the online platform provided to allow coaches to communicate between monthly meet ups means that attendees get to coach and help each other daily as required.
Currently, the S&C Technical IPD is open for enrollment with spaces still available for the commencement on January 31st 2021. The programmes reach coaches on all time zones based on running 2 cohorts at any one time. If interested in learning more about the course, you can visit http://collaboratesports.com for more info, or email Dan direct at info@collaboratesports.com to ask questions or arrange an informal discussion about the opportunities Collaborate Sports aims to provide.
Dan can be found on twitter as @howellsdan and on Instagram with @collaborate_sports

In this episode of the Decoding Excellence Show, I'm speaking with former NFL New York Giants Director of Performance Nutrition and Assistant Strength & Conditioning Coach, my friend, Pratik Patel.
Patel was closing in on a four year stint as the New York Giants’ Director of Performance Nutrition/Assistant Strength and Conditioning Coach prior to making a personal decision to leave the role. We discuss this in the show. Prior to his time in the NFL, he served as University of Oregon's (PAC 12) Director of Sports Nutrition. Patel also shared similar roles at Michigan State University (Go Green!) and Kansas State University.
I had a blast recording the show with Tik and I know you'll take away some GREAT gems from it!
You can catch up with Pratik on twitter and Instagram at @PratikxPatel.

In this episode of the Decoding Excellence Show, I'm discussing many of the leadership lessons I've learned, through the successes and failures of operating in elite sport. I discuss tactics to help empower leadership and decisions among your athletes and co-workers. I talk about leaning into your weaknesses and being vulnerable. I discuss ways you can take the first step and challenge others to co-elevate to new heights. I think you'll get A LOT out of this show.

In this episode of the Decoding Excellence Show, I'm speaking with Men's Basketball Strength and Conditioning for Butler University, my good friend, Matthew Johnson.
Johnson serves as a member of the men’s basketball staff at Butler University and oversees the program’s strength and conditioning, while also assisting with rehabilitation of injured student-athletes and working with university partners on nutrition and supplement education.
Johnson most recently served as the Director of Strength and Conditioning at George Washington University from 2013-18.
At George Washington, Johnson supervised a six-person staff that worked to maximize the performance of student-athletes from all 27 varsity athletics programs. In addition to designing and implementing strength and conditioning programs, Johnson also created nutrition initiatives for GW student-athletes and introduced high-performance technology into the program.
I had a blast recording this show and I know you'll take away a few GREAT things from it!

In this episode of the Adam Ringler Show, I'm discussing a recent tweet of mine sharing a snippet of "Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams" by Dr. Matthew Walker. Are we, sport scientists, actively monitoring sleep durations and qualities in our student-athletes to only measure it or should we actually derive meaningful and actionable information from the subjective recall? I believe the later but recognize that sleep is an unbelievably challenging element to actively control.
Who is the author of this book? Matthew Walker is a British scientist and professor of neuroscience and psychology at the University of California, Berkeley. His research focuses on the impact of sleep on human health and disease.

In this episode of the Decoding Excellence Show, I'm hosting a volleyball roundtable special featuring two of my good friends and fellow volleyball coaches, University of South Carolina's Beach Volleyball Assistant Coach RJ Abella and University of Colorado's Volleyball Technical Coordinator, Eduardo Fiallos.
RJ Abella enters his sixth season as assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for the Gamecocks, working with the program since its inception. Abella came to Carolina in the spring of 2013 as assistant coach for both the indoor and sand volleyball programs and made the transition to full-time beach volleyball assistant in the spring of 2015. He was named to the American Volleyball Coaches Association's "30 Under 30" list in 2014, recognizing 30 rising coaching stars at all levels of volleyball who are under 30 years old.
Eduardo joined the Buffs after spending four seasons at the University of Denver. In 2016, he served as the director of operations and from 2013-16, he was a volunteer assistant coach. Eduardo, who coached three seasons at Denver, was part of three straight Summit League Championship teams and three consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances for the Pioneers. Eduardo has been a coach at the collegiate level since 1997, spending time at five different universities. Eduardo was at Arizona (1997), Cal State-Dominguez Hills (1997-98), Louisiana-Lafayette (1998-99), North Carolina State (2006) and Denver (2013-16).
I had a blast recording this show and I know you'll take away a few GREAT things from it!

In this episode of the Decoding Excellence Show, I am discussing the unsung heroes in the coaching profession; be it the wives, husbands, and significant others in our relationships who support us and sacrifice so much - in order for us to do our very best work. In this show, I discuss many of the sacrifices these great people make on a daily basis, in order to illuminate our need to be grateful and appreciative of what they do. Our work is dependent on their many sacrifices and this Valentine's Day episode is in dedication to all of those that "strengthen" and support a coach in their life.

In this episode of the Decoding Excellence Show, I am sharing many of the lessons you can apply from introverts and extroverts in the coaching world. So often, we put labels on people that they are either an introvert OR an extrovert; but the reality is that we are often both.

In this episode of the Decoding Excellence Show, I am again speaking with Sports Nutritionist and Owner of On Your Mark Nutrition, Katie Mark for Part 2 of our conversation.
If you missed Part 1, stop right now and download episode #014. It was an amazing conversation with Katie discussing everything from the gut microbiome; and how preventative nutrition goes beyond “Fueling”. We then discussed hydration and sport drinks; and whether athletes really "need" them. Lastly, in Part 1, Katie shares information about exercise-associated muscle cramps. It was an incredible episode and you cannot miss it!
Katie Mark, MS, MPH, (On Your Mark Nutrition) lives in Miami, Florida, where she trains as a competitive cyclist and works as a sports nutritionist, an R&D consultant and a writer. Katie's written works are nutrition-centered, evidence-based and intended for those who are sport performance or fitness-driven. She has a strong understanding of investigating nutrition science research and applying the science in the real world.
Her nutritional philosophy for optimal performance focuses on helping athletes achieve being fit and healthy by using nutritional strategies that target long-term training adaptations and long-term health. She holds a Master of Science in Nutrition Communication from Tufts University Friedman School of Nutrition and a Master of Public Health from Tufts School of Medicine.
This summer, Katie will start her dietetic internship (focusing on Sports Nutrition & Entrepreneurship) so she can become a Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist by early 2018.
Katie and I discuss:
- Being Healthy AND Fit
- Periodized Nutritional Strategies
- What is a High Protein Diet
