Interview with Brandon Burdge

 This last week we had a podcast assignment where we had to interview or discuss a topic for 5 minutes. Since I decided to do this project with my teammate, Keith Houser, we actually had to record for 10 minutes instead of 5, but still, this project seemed interesting to me and I was ready to test podcasting,

Keith and I decided to interview our strength coach, Brandon Burdge. Coach Burdge was a recent addition to Ohio Northern, having joined in this past fall. Though only 24, Coach Burdge has tons of experience, with interning at the Buffalo Bulls, a NCAA Division 1 football team, and also helping out at his alma matter, where he also was an All-Conference Defensive Tackle. 

While we originally started out with some technical issues of finding how to send audio files, soon we got to asking him the important questions:

  • What was the main reason you decided to go into strength training?
  • Who is your favorite player? Josh or Keith? 
  • How do you combat social media inaccuracies with lifting?
You wouldn't think Coach Burdge is a good public speaker, but he came prepared, gave extremely well thought out answers. Coach showed that he has a thorough knowledge of strength training and why he was selected to help out Ohio Northerns Sports teams.

  2. It sounds like your interview went well! I didn't know that Coach Burdge just joined us this past fall and intern with the Buffalo Bulls! I think that is good that he came here to help out in our program and I think he is making an impact already just being here even though it was been a couple of months.
