(#263) Coach Johnny Parker has been one of the most highly-regarded strength coaches in the NFL with an accomplished list of success.

He's also the co-author of a NEW book titled "The System," which outlines his approach to program design in which he produced some of the strongest, high-performing, and durable athletes in the NFL.

His list of accomplishments include: 10 years as a college strength and conditioning coach, 21 years as an NFL strength coach working with the NY Giants and legendary coach - Bill Parcells, 7 seasons with the New England Patriots, followed by helping the Tamp Bay Buccaneers win their first Super Bowl in 2003, before finally finishing with the San Francisco 49ers.

Aside from Super Bowl triumphs, he has received multiple awards for his coaching accomplishments, including the President's Award for the NFL's top strength and conditioning coach. These are only some of his vast accolades. 

His passion, knowledge, and authenticity are unparalleled. I'm truly honored to share this great interview with you.
