Cory Castro is the Football Strength and Conditioning Coach at the University of Texas. He works directly with the quarterback room and specialists, and his coaching career spans John Carroll University, Kent State, Louisiana Monroe, Cal, and now Texas under Coach Becton.
In this conversation, Tex and Cory get into:
- How trust is built with elite athletes over time
- Why velocity-based training is misunderstood and how Texas actually uses it
- Rotational training for quarterbacks and specialists
- How leadership gets assessed before a single rep is lifted
- Why "the standard is the standard" applies to every guy in the room, no matter how talented
Cory's coaching journey proves that competency isn't given. It's built through consistency, trust, and showing up the same way every single day.
