(Ep027) Crazy Frank: the NBA’s Most Secretive Trainer (Part 1)

Written By Phil White

In Part 1, Dan Grunfeld (Ep. 17) talks about his experience training with Crazy Frank while playing at Stanford. 

In this episode, Dan shares:

  • How Frank had him sprinting up sand hills + carrying buckets of sand

  • How the physical training was extreme but how Frank always knew when to pull you back

  • How Dan took Frank’s mantra “your mind will always give out before your body” to heart

  • What it means to have a coach pushing you at the highest level

  • Why knowing that you outworked everyone else during the off-season gives you more than a physical edge
