  • Episode 210: Creating Structure within Chaos with Sebastian Olave, MS, SCCC, USAW-1
    Dec 9 2025

    My guy Sebastian specializes in creating order out of chaos for first responders. Check out the great conversation we had a few weeks ago.

    Sebastian Olave has been in the strength and conditioning industry since 2010. He has worked at various levels including youth and collegiate athletics, private training facilities, Olympic weightlifting, and most recently as a Strength and Conditioning Coach and Exercise Physiologist for the Austin Public Safety Wellness Center. His mission is to empower the first responders he serves to achieve lifelong wellness, or simply put, “to help the helpers.” He obtained his Bachelors and Masters degrees in Kinesiology and Sports Physiology, respectively, at Texas A&M University. Sebastian is Strength and Conditioning Coach Certified through the Collegiate and Professional Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association as well as a Level 1 Coach through USA Weightlifting. In his free time, he enjoys quality time with his lovely wife and two boys, lifting heavy things, getting his heart rate up, hiking, breakfast tacos, playing guitar, and singing.

    So what, now what?!?

    It can be challenging to maintain health and fitness while working as a first responder. Taking a bottom-up and logical approach can assist with creating calm in the chaos!
