In this episode of the Crown Refs Podcast, we sit down with Austin Ardrey, also known as the Runnin Ref, to dive into the intersection of fitness, officiating, and performance training. Austin is a former strength and conditioning coach at the collegiate level who transitioned into working with officials to help them stay injury-free, mobile, and game-ready. Through his Runnin Ref training programs, he provides sport-specific strength and conditioning for basketball, football, and soccer officials, tailoring workouts to meet the unique demands of officiating. Austin shares his personal fitness routine, daily discipline, and how he balances strength training, mobility, and nutrition to optimize performance on and off the court.
Key takeaways from this conversation include injury prevention strategies, the importance of mobility, pregame and postgame routines, and how fitness plays a crucial role in officiating longevity. We also discuss the common mistakes officials make in their training, how to build a sustainable fitness routine, and what every official should be doing to improve their movement and durability. Whether youโre looking to enhance your physical fitness as an official or gain insights into how movement training can transform your game, this episode is packed with actionable takeaways. Thank you for listening to the Crown Refs Podcastโthe audio experience for basketball officials.ย
