## Resource

Mark Weisman is a great example of how strong coaching relationships can come full circle. I had the chance to coach and work with Mark earlier in his career, so it’s been special to watch his path unfold from athlete to coach at the highest levels of sport. A former standout running back at University of Iowa, Mark became one of the most productive backs in program history. After college, he spent time with the Cincinnati Bengals before transitioning into strength and conditioning after a short career in medical sales Mark then returned to Iow a as an Assistant Strength & Conditioning Coach for football, later became Director of Sports Performance at Southeast Missouri State University, and continued building his career in professional baseball. He now serves with the Chicago Cubs as Major League Strength & Conditioning Coach. $1 Trial Membership to SCN 🏫CEUs: https://strengthcoachnetwork.com/Trial Save on your re-certification to the NSCA and CSCCa with best price CEUs 🏫CEUs: https://strengthcoachnetwork.com/CEU CONNECT: 🌎Site: https://strengthcoachnetwork.com/ From our sponsors: Hawkin Dynamics Site: https://www.hawkindynamics.com/ Hawkin Dynamics is the world leader in force plate solutions.
