    In this episode of Coach Em Up, Tim Riley sits down with Quentin "Q" Willey – physical therapist, strength coach, and former USA bobsledder – to talk all things performance, physical culture, and challenging outdated thinking in sports medicine. From childhood obsessions with movement to treating elite athletes, Q unpacks his journey and the mindset shifts that helped him thrive in athletics and coaching.


    They go deep on the failures of traditional PT, the myths that still plague the performance world, and how real change comes from putting power back in the athlete’s hands. If you're driven, health-conscious, and seeking truth in training, this conversation is a must.
