Football Strength Coaches Training MMA Fighters (Special Post)

I have seen a few big name Speed and Strength Coaches that have crossed over into the MMA world of training. To no avail both of their fighters lost their fights. The question is, can you train an Elite Athlete if you never competed or been involved in their sport. I had the chance to train two UFC fighters in Strength and Condition before their fights. One of the fighters won and the other lost. It was a close loss but a loss is a loss. A good trainer knows the pain that they are putting their clients through. You know when things are going wrong and where to correct the problems if you felt their pain. The theory "no pain is no gain" is old news and if you hear a trainer tell you that run as fast as you can out the door. Good trainers know what they are doing and they have been on the mat or ran that death run before. So to conclude sometimes you have to get down and dirty to become a better trainer than just read a few books or attending a few seminars before calling yourself an Elite Trainer.
