In this episode of Dave Tate's Table Talk podcast, Jordan
Betz joins us.
Jordan Betz is a leading strength and conditioning coach in the tactical and Special Operations communities, known for developing the world's strongest operators while achieving record-low injury rates. With over a decade of experience in Division I athletics and Spec Ops, he has trained everyone from Air Force Cross recipients to NFL first-round draft picks.
A former Texas A&M University-Commerce football player, Jordan shifted to coaching after multiple knee surgeries, working at Rice University and the University of Wyoming before moving into Spec Ops.
He and his wife, Riley, founded Down Range Strength, specializing in assessment and selection train-ups, powerlifting and strongman prep around deployments, and injury prevention for elite military units. They also run World’s Strongest Operator, an invite-only strongman event honoring fallen operators.
Jordan holds a Master’s in Kinesiology and certifications from the CSCCa and NSCA. His journey began in a powerlifting gym, where a veteran conjugate crew set him on the path to training warriors.
