Summary
Michael “Coach Steg” Stegemoeller is the strength & conditioning coach at the University of Pittsburgh, leading Women’s Lacrosse and Swim & Dive. A former undersized soccer kid turned performance nerd, he built his chops at MJP, Houston, Texas A&M, and Cincinnati—and now engineers teams that hit harder, move faster, and don’t fade. Steal-this-playbook: • Periodize under constraints. Vertical integration + APRE (6/3) to touch all qualities; front-squat base → box-squat peaking; manage “high” days when the sport staff wants Tue/Thu Olympic-only sessions—keep qualities alive without frying athletes. • Readiness that actually works. Conversations > gadgets, plus CMJ/RSI twice weekly; if outputs dip or practice smoked them, swap full-ROM for pins/boxes, trim accessories, or chase singles/doubles. Remember: how you feel can lie—let performance set the throttle. • Culture that travels. Show up at practice, own warm-ups, coordinate with coaches in the open; build enough trust that when it gets dark, they toe the line and keep going.
