Greg Adamson: Burnout, Balance & Finding Purpose as an S&C Professional

In this episode of the Braun Performance & Rehab Podcast, Dan
is joined by Greg Adamson to discuss burnout, balance in life and
career, and finding purpose in the sports performance / sports
medicine professions.


Greg Adamson serves as the Associate Director of Sports
Performance at the University of Tennessee, where he leads the
development of the Volunteers’ Swim, Dive and Men’s Golf
programs. With over 15 years of experience at the collegiate
level and a track record of working with 23 different sports,
Adamson has contributed to the success of Olympic medalists,
World Champions, national champions, NCAA All-Americans and SEC
champions.
 
Adamson’s approach to performance is built on holistic leadership
and elite relationships rooted in trust, enabling him to align
athletes, coaches, and administrators with shared goals. He
specializes in strength and conditioning, sport science, and
recovery strategies, crafting individualized, data-driven
programs that optimize performance while minimizing injury risk.
His work extends to professional athletes across nine sports for
over a decade, whose combined contracts total over $760 million
to date.
 
Adamson holds the prestigious title of Master Strength Coach from
the CSCCA, the highest distinction in the field of strength and
conditioning. He also holds the CSCS certification from the NSCA.
Adamson earned his undergraduate degree in Exercise Science from
Winthrop and his master’s degree in Sport Administration from
Central Michigan, equipping him with both the technical expertise
and leadership acumen necessary to thrive at the highest levels
of collegiate athletics.
 
In addition to his role at Tennessee, Adamson serves in the Air
National Guard as a Public Affairs Officer, specializing in
strategic communication and crisis management. His dual expertise
in athletic performance and leadership communication makes him a
trusted leader and innovator in both fields.
 
Adamson’s passion lies in developing athletes holistically
building not only their physical capabilities but also their
mental and emotional resilience. His extensive experience,
professional credentials and relationship-driven leadership make
him an invaluable asset to the University of Tennessee’s pursuit
of excellence in athletics and beyond.For more on Greg, be sure
