Felipe Eichenberger | Pro-Level Coaching Insights

After fifteen years with the Denver Nuggets, Felipe Eichenberger has witnessed the evolution of National Basketball Association (NBA) performance firsthand. The demands of an NBA season include 82+ games, relentless travel, and the challenge of staying fresh through it all. Eichenberger reveals their post-game lifting culture, driven by the philosophy: “If it’s a hard day, let’s make it hard.” Prioritizing compliance over hardware, he emphasizes flexible periodization and nailing the basics to meet each player’s needs — whether navigating injuries, tailoring programs to position demands, or microdosing training for longevity. At the heart of it all is buy-in, trust, and accountability. Eichenberger shares the importance of leveraging psychology, getting top players to set the tone for the team, and balancing consistency with creativity. With more jobs and awareness in NBA strength and conditioning than ever, this episode explores how to make an impact at basketball’s highest level.

“We try to be specific as much as possible, position, size, and all those things… But if you go to the principles, so if you go to overload principle, how do you get stronger is by lifting weights. How you maintain strength is by lifting weights. So, we have to play with the volume and things like that, but you have to lift weights often.” 11:40

“You can only work with players if they buy into your program. If they don't, they can go somewhere else. Like they have enough money to hire somebody else. They have enough money to do those things in the NBA. But why does a player want to work out with you? What kind of buy-in are you creating with that player? It could be different things. Accountability, if you say you're going to do something, do something. Be there before the player. Like show the player that you want to work with that player, right?” 18:00

“You have to focus on the whole team. That's what strength and conditioning is. So, my belief is that you're going to train the player that doesn't touch the court, and then you're going to play the player the most minutes very similar. So, like you got to give a chance to the guy that's like, in our case, our 17th guy trains the same as the first guy that we have.” 26:30

[00:00:02.63] Welcome to the NSCA Coaching Podcast, season 8, episode 22.

[00:00:07.89] You can only work with players if they buy into your program. If they don't, they can go somewhere else. Like they have enough money to hire somebody else. They have enough money to do those things in the NBA, right? But why does a player want to work out with you? What kind of buy-in are you creating with that player?

[00:00:26.70] It could be different things. Accountability, if you say you're going to do something, do something. Be there before the player. Like show the player that you want to work with that player, right.

[00:00:35.85] [MUSIC PLAYING]

[00:00:38.09] This is the NSCA's Coaching Podcast, where we talk to strength and conditioning coaches about what you really need to know, but probably didn't learn in school. There's strength and conditioning, and then there's everything else.

[00:00:48.90] This is the NSCA Coaching Podcast. I'm Eric McMahon, the NSCA Coaching and Sports Science program manager. Today is an episode all about strength and conditioning in the NBA. We're joined today by Denver Nuggets head strength and conditioning coach, Felipe Eichenberger. Felipe, Thanks for coming on.

[00:01:06.90] I appreciate you having me. I mean, good pronunciation of my name, which it's hard for a lot of people. But, yeah, thanks for having me here, and I'm super excited.

[00:01:16.74] You're from Brazil, man. And you make your home here in the US. So I'm excited to hear your path into strength and conditioning from another part of the world.

[00:01:25.98] Yeah. Born and raised in Brazil. Lived there until I was like 19-- 18, 19, came to United States to play college basketball. Play in a small school, Northwestern Oklahoma State and Oklahoma NAIA all four years. And the goal and the dream was always to play basketball overseas, or in the United States, and mainly in the NBA.

[00:01:52.38] As I'm playing college, I start realizing how hard is you playing the NBA from the level that I was. And I always had-- somehow like understand strength and conditioning because my sister was pretty high level swimmer in Brazil for her age. And then she was always talking about training, talk about, strength and conditioning, talk about the weight room, talk about how-- and I always like listen. And so the back of my mind was like, I like this.

[00:02:30.53] So coming back to United States, playing all four years, we didn't have a strength and conditioning coach. And then I start lifting myself and going to like the old magazines and digging in a little bit. Like the NSCA was huge for me where I started getting a little bit of articles here and there.

[00:02:51.82] And from that time on, I was like, if I can't make the NBA as a player, how can I use this-- or use something to get into the NBA? And strength and conditioning was a natural progression where I would start training some of my friends or my teammates, myself. And it kind of-- after school, I graduated with my sports science degree, health and sports science, and I wanted to use that to do something that I love, and strength and conditioning is one of them. One thing that it brought me here to the team, and here I am.

[00:03:32.74] So the NBA, it's a long season. We hear that a lot at the professional sports level. For those who don't follow basketball as closely, what are the biggest demands you have as a strength and conditioning coach during the season and in the off season?

[00:03:47.23] Yeah. I mean, in the NBA, it's 82 games regular season plus playoffs. So you can play over 100 games, counting preseason, regular season, and playoffs. Like two years ago when we won a championship, I believe we played 110 games. And it's a lot of games.

[00:04:06.89] And it's not like a game like, OK, let's play in Denver for five games, and then we go on the road. It's a lot more challenging where we might play in New York, and then we fly right after the game, go play in-- I don't even know-- Milwaukee the next morning. So it's a back to back-- or the next evening. But it's a back to back.

[00:04:31.41] So you land at like 3:00, 4:00 AM, wake up at like 10:00, and got to be ready to go the next day. So you're playing less than 24 hours. So that's the challenge that we have with the players, mainly, and how to manage the workload and the things that we do in general to keep the players fresh and win games.

[00:04:55.62] So we hear a lot about recovery in strength and conditioning. And I think what you're talking about, the schedule demands really-- really speaks to that. What are some of the areas you guys are using, technology, data analytics, recovery modalities, to help your players?

[00:05:13.32] I mean, we have tried everything under the sun, as every single NBA team does. I think one thing that we focus is not on the hardware itself, but it's the compliance for each player, use the things that we are, pushing them to use. For example, people just like, hey, they asked me all the time, What if I buy a Normatec for my kid? He's playing a lot.

[00:05:39.42] And I'm like, well, Is that the best thing? Or can you do something like to recover a different way? And they don't know that, for example, lifting could be a recovery modality that could help the athlete. Like, for example, here, we are big on lifting after the game. So it's just like we go, and my theory is, if it's a hard day, let's make it hard.

[00:06:05.63] So the game is hard. And then after the game, come in, your lift is not going to be like an hour and a half. So it's going to be two or three heavy exercise or compound exercises. And we're going to do auxiliary exercise after that. But that night, when you're done, you're done.

[00:06:23.24] Tomorrow, you come in, you focus on your recovery. Tomorrow, you come in and you do all those things that you need to do, but you're already lifted really heavy yesterday. And it's been working pretty well for us. So I mean, I've been here with the Nuggets for 15 years, where I was the assistant for six years, and then became the head strength and conditioning coach.

[00:06:46.16] And we did a little bit of that in the past when I was the assistant. And it just became a culture like now. And it's like we know we have-- like last game, we had like nine players in the weight room lifting after the game. And it's like it's not like, hey, we're going to stretch and do this. Like, we're going to-- you're going to lift some weights.

[00:07:08.82] So when I hear that, post-game workouts, and that's probably a debatable topic for a lot of coaches out there. And there probably is a point. A player gets really beat up in the game. It may not be the best day to get something done afterwards. But in terms of putting together a constructive session after a game, what do those workouts look like?

[00:07:34.66] It depends on the phase. So early phase, we try to keep the guys fresh. So we have a pretty intense off season where like when you hit the season, you should be like kind of like conditioned. When you hit training camp, you should be conditioned, should go through training camp, go through a block of 20 games where our-- you lift less and it's more sport specific.

[00:07:57.99] So the workouts at that point, it's just kind of maintaining the strength. That's the main goal. So we do like trap bar deadlifts, for example, like really heavy. And then we go and do like a light exercise, and we do like kind of maintenance exercise. After those 20 games, we see where each player are with their minutes. So their starters are going to lift less. The young guys are going to lift more, if that makes sense.

[00:08:30.35] So now after 20 games, like we don't want to lose more strength. So like not like let's pick some blocks like two times a week that we can really go after the lifting part, where it just become a little bit more explosive. So we go to maintain strength, to be a little more explosive, to the next 10, 15 games depends on their schedule. And then we try to push after that. So we talk about like 25 games in, after that, it's just like we deload for two weeks where it's like more lighter.

[00:09:04.37] And we try to go maintain strength again. And then that comes a break for like a week for All-Star break. And then after that, we hit the weight room pretty hard, like kind of preparing for the playoffs. It's like right now, the last couple of years, we've been a good playoff team. So for five, six weeks I try to go like really hard before the playoffs.

[00:09:29.19] And then the three weeks closer to the playoffs, I just to do like a recover so we can try to peak during the playoffs. I mean, it's not an exact science, because there's so many things-- so many variables, right? So it's just like you have this whole periodization created for each player. And all of a sudden, this player got injured.

[00:09:52.18] Injury happens in professional sports. Now what are you going to do with that player? So now you have to change the whole periodization. So you have to have a periodization planned, but that periodization has to be flexible, and you have to work on a lot. Like the most common term now is microdosing, kind of microdosing those players to stay in shape and stay injury free throughout the whole season.

[00:10:19.09] I mean, you're talking about adapting your training over a long season to the peaks and valleys of the season. And what you're saying makes sense from a perspective of just the day to day. And different players are going to respond different ways. I can think back to a pro sport All-Star break. Some players really, really look forward to that break.

[00:10:41.21] And sometimes pushing them into the All-Star break may be counterproductive. They may want a little bit of a deload at that time. And then afterwards, you get to ramp up because you have a whole second half ready to go, and that's something to think about. So I like how you've sort of deconstructed the season.

[00:10:57.56] And it's a little different than maybe how we look at it in the textbook of, OK, this is in season. All the workouts are kind of the same. We're maintaining 1 to 2 workouts a week, whatever it may be. You found a way to integrate it on a daily basis with the demands of the game.

[00:11:14.19] You mentioned a little bit about veteran players versus younger players. What about position-specific demands, or style of play demands, guards versus centers, for example? I know I'm always a little intimidated when I go to an NBA game and I see all like the big, tall seven-footers on the court. But there's a big difference there between some of the shorter guys on the court and then some of the real big guys.

[00:11:39.43] Yeah. I mean, we try to be specific as much as possible, position, size, and all those things. But as you know, and my belief is the-- the biggest thing is just lift weights. Just move weights. So if you-- like in my program, if you come here, like you're going to touch weights pretty much every day, five times a week, right?

[00:12:04.35] A lot of teams, they think differently. But if you go to the principles, so if you go to overload principle, how do you get stronger is by lifting weights. How you maintain strength is by lifting weights. So we have to like play with the volume and things like that. But you have to lift weights often, right?

[00:12:22.05] So is it some players come in and be like, I'm just going to lift two times a week. It's like, nah, it's not enough. We don't have that, like, hey, let's go a big volume. Like let's go for an hour and a half lift today, and then tomorrow, you don't have to lift. We don't have it. We have to break down that whole hour session, probably 10, 15, 20 minutes for each player, depending on the player.

[00:12:43.83] So that's my belief. I believe that just like the basic, basic principle is the overload principle. So you have to overload your body. For position, we go more just like, hey, this is a guard, and he's still going to do the trap bar deadlift that the post player's doing. But his load is going to be different.

[00:13:02.70] But it's also kind of like looking at, hey, this player's knee has been sore for x amount of time. So let's do the exercise specific, but it's also going to put this guy on the knee program, that we call. So like, hey, there's a knee program for this guy. There's a strength program for this guy that's healthier, if that makes sense.

[00:13:26.19] So it goes by position, and goes by like what you need for each individual. Because I mean, at the same time, it's just like a knee pain on a guard and a knee pain on a post player, there are very similar things that you have to do. So just the levers are different. You have to come up with different exercises or different things that they like to do better. But at the same time, it's very, very similar.

[00:13:53.29] We've seen a lot of growth of basketball strength and conditioning, obviously, during the time from you being an assistant up to being the head of strength and conditioning with the Nuggets. But there's more jobs now. There's G-League strength and conditioning coaches. We've seen a lot of growth in the NBSCA. That's one of our partner organizations with the NSCA. And we're all trying to take the profession forward.

[00:14:16.30] How do you see the role now as part of maybe a holistic performance team or the player health model working with athletic trainers, physical therapists, dietitians? It's not just strength coaches.

[00:14:30.22] For sure. It takes a whole team, right? But I tell everybody, it's just like I get-- the strength and conditioning profession is pretty young compared to like a plumber, electrician. And so it's just like now I feel like it's catching up to all the sports. They have to have x amount of strength coaches. So you guys help us, like the NSCA help with our organization, our association, to make sure that we put the strength and conditioning-- or the players association that you have to have a minimum of two strength and conditioning coaches on your staff.

[00:15:11.98] And that's huge. That's creating more jobs. And that's creating more opportunity for people. And then it's just like now, like being around for 15 years with the team and training before that, other people, people know, if I say like, hey, I'm a strength and conditioning coach. And they're like, oh, that's awesome. How is this player, this player?

[00:15:33.83] So the conversation, it's very fluid from that point. Before, like let's go 10 years ago, and it's like, hey, I'm a strength and conditioning coach. And they're like, What do you mean? What do you do?

[00:15:45.87] So like the name, the position growth, you can see when people-- when you tell people what you do, they already know what you do somehow. And they just have different questions, than what's 10 years ago, it was just like, OK, so you're just a personal trainer. It's just like, so are they doing Olympic lifts?

[00:16:07.51] So the questions are a lot different, which is really cool to see. And like I said, as we see more and more people believe in strength and conditioning and how important that is, I think the profession is going to grow more. And now coming in with the sports science side of things, that's where I think I can see more than two or three strength coaches.

[00:16:32.75] Like we do have three strength coaches in our staff. Some teams have five. So there's a growth on this job, on this professional-- in this profession where people really start to believe that this can keep them healthy and this can make them better. So it's pretty cool to see.

[00:16:50.85] Yeah. I mean, you really highlight some of the benefits and the work that we do between the NBSCA, the NSCA, and just trying to amplify and grow this profession. One thing, I think about this for-- there's a lot of coaches out there who maybe want to be in your shoes one day, and see the G-League as maybe an opportunity as a getting in after they get their bachelor's degree or master's degree. But what advice do you have when you're-- what advice do you have for young strength and conditioning coaches who want to get into the NBA?

[00:17:28.80] Well, getting into the NBA itself, it's hard now. But there are different things that you have to know how to deal with. Injury is one of them. But another thing is you have more than just strength and conditioning, because I have so many coaches. They're so, so smart. They write me some stuff and ask me some questions that I'm like, I don't even know how to answer those things.

[00:17:52.49] But one thing they forget is that if their program, if their knowledge is so-- they just study so much strength and conditioning, they forget one of the biggest part, which is-- I think it's one of the things that I created a long time ago, which is the buy-in. So you can only work with players if they buy into your program. If they don't, they can go somewhere else. Like they have enough money to hire somebody else. They have enough money to do those things in the NBA.

[00:18:22.10] But why does a player want to work out with you? What kind of buy-in are you creating with that player? It could be different things. Accountability, if you say you're going to do something, do something. Be there before the player. Like show the player that you want to work with that player, right?

[00:18:38.00] And it's such a unique business because if you win five games, you literally feel like, oh man, I'm the best strength coach. I'm probably going to get a raise the next two weeks. I think they love me here. It's awesome.

[00:18:53.09] But then you go and lose three games in a row, and you're just like, sheesh, am I going to have a job tomorrow? Like what's going on? Like why? So I think that like just studying strength and conditioning is essential. You have to. But study the psychology of things as well, right?

[00:19:10.73] How am I going to deal with this player when this player's injured? How am I going to deal with this player when it's like, hey, we're going to-- I think you can do better in your conditioning. How am I going to make that player run? And it's just like-- and on the other side, as well, it's just like, hey, I'm going to-- things happen, right?

[00:19:29.78] It's like, I'm going to have you do bench press today. Just going to do the bench press. Their shoulder is just like, man, I did bench press yesterday. I can't, my shoulder is killing me. How are you going to react to that? It was your mistake. You take accountability for that.

[00:19:44.43] And then I think all of those things create a buy-in with the player where they trust you. And then you can work through those things. If you can't work through those things, it's really, really hard to be a coach in the NBA, specifically.

[00:19:58.19] I mean, there's a great message in there for coaches. And what I hear is finding a way to keep a level head so that you can manage some of the more difficult or challenging situations, but also be present enough for that athlete, for the players, and address their needs on a daily basis. And that takes time and experience for coaches to develop in many cases.

[00:20:22.29] And I think one thing you mentioned, you-- there's kind of a continuum, right? You mentioned the strength coach who's just all in on strength and conditioning. But what you're saying is expand that, explore the other end of the continuum, some different, maybe the soft skills of strength and conditioning, teaching, instruction. Find out what motivates that player on a daily basis. And that can be different. I mean, you can go a number of years in coaching and be faced with a new challenge or problem.

[00:20:55.65] I want to dig deep here, Felipe, and say, hey, what's a scenario that really forced you to dig deep and seek solutions that maybe you didn't feel like you had at the time? And how'd you solve that?

[00:21:15.09] I mean, there's so many examples that I can use. But there is, like for example, a warm up, like all the strength and conditioning coaches, they're going to know what the importance of a warm up. If you go to a high school, if you go to a college, it's completely different than a professional level.

[00:21:32.99] So a warm up as a group, so we're going to practice right? So we go in and it's like hey, line up on the sidelines. That's kind of like what we do. And we're going to do certain things that you have to do. So you're going to try to warm up as much as possible. You're going to do some mobility, you're going to do some sprints, whatever you believe that's going to get the player ready to perform, correct

[00:21:55.24] And then you do similar things every day. Like you think that's what believes, some players are paying attention, some players are not. That's the reality of professional sports. But how do you get all the players to pay attention? And then the coach come in and be like, hey, I think the warm up is boring.

[00:22:12.98] And you're just like, OK, the warm up is boring. But if they do these things, they will be sweating by the end of the warm up. But it's-- every day is just different. You got to understand that like sometimes we play four or five games in a week. And it's like, how can you change and challenge yourself to make sure that you're hitting all the pillars that you need for the warm ups and get the players prepared, and make sure that Coach is happy with the warm up that you're doing?

[00:22:47.30] So that's one thing that happened, where like my coach-- Coach, was just like, hey, let's change it up, the warm up. Just spice it up a little bit. And so like, yeah, but we still have to hit this, this, and this. And that's where I had to brainstorm everything that I wanted to hit, like specifically with strength, conditioning, mobility, and all those things, and make sure that the coach was happy with the changes, if that makes sense.

[00:23:10.63] So that's where you got to be flexible. That's where you got to dive in on different things. Maybe you start doing some games. Maybe you start doing some stuff that like add acceleration, deceleration, some plyometrics, and things during the warm up. And it's just like, I-- my belief was before this-- I know I'm mumbling, but my belief was just like, I kind of have to do very similar things every day because the players that don't pay attention, they know what we are doing.

[00:23:42.29] At some point, at so many repetitions that they know what we are doing right. So they know that's just like, hey, at this point, we're going to do a mobility. At this point, we're going to do a plyometric. At this point, we're going to do this. So they know-- it's just so repetitive that by practice 20, they're just like, all right, well, it's the same thing. So I'm just going to do it. So the warm up is more for the players that don't really like pay too much attention for the players that goes as hard and try to mix both in, if that makes sense.

[00:24:11.72] Yeah. I mean, I think you highlight one of the big differences that we see in professional sports versus definitely at the high school level, those athletes are typically doing exactly what their coach says. And not to pick on the pro guys. I think it's just important to realize that when you're working with adults, buy-in is a big part of that.

[00:24:31.32] When you're working with adults, they can make decisions about their training and how they want to be worked with. They can pick and choose, in a way. And especially like you mentioned, they have infinite resources at the NBA to be able to do that. So it's another challenge for us as strength coaches to be likable, to do some fun things, not get stuck in our routines.

[00:24:54.67] And I still think there's value in what you're saying, of there needs to be some realm of consistency of how you get out there. You can't just flip it over and do something completely different every single day, because then you're not reliable. Or you're not going to be a consistent source of information for them. So it's something that there's a balance there. And that's really challenging.

[00:25:17.83] I like that we're getting into some of these areas that we don't always have answers for, but it's encouraging, I think, for a lot of coaches to hear that you're working through that at the NBA level. They're probably working through that at the college level, high school level, with youth, variety of different areas. And that's what our skill set is. We can continually build programs. We can continually build up athletes and find different ways to do that.

[00:25:44.99] It's not a one-program approach or a set routine that all athletes have to follow. That's what strength and conditioning is. And it's really great to hear that that holds true even at the top.

[00:25:58.87] Yeah. And I mean, one thing that I learned, for people that ask is, just like whenever you get the coach to buy in, that's kind of like one step. But when you get also like your best player to buy in, or the three out of the five starters in the basketball specific, if you get them to buy in to do the warm up hard, everything else just becomes easier. It's just like, man, this dude just play 38 minutes and he's going hard. Who am I to not go hard and mimic what he's doing?

[00:26:30.20] So it's just like specifically not focused on one player, that you have to focus on the whole team. That's what strength and conditioning is. So my belief is that you're going to train the player that doesn't touch the court, and then you're going to play the player the most minutes very similar. So like you got to give a chance to the guy that's like, in our case, our 17th guy train the same as the first guy that we have.

[00:26:55.57] So I think it's just also alike helping, asking for help, for like, hey, you got to do this. I mean, you got to be the example and makes things a lot easier. Different situations, not just warm up, but lifting and pushing themselves as well.

[00:27:10.72] Awesome. Sounds like you have a great performance team up in Denver. You've had some success in that program. You've been there long enough to really see that program grow and build. And it's exciting. It's exciting for us here in Colorado to see you guys have some success and continue to build.

[00:27:34.08] But I think for the strength and conditioning profession, it's really beneficial just to see our profession grow at the professional level. Like we talked about before, there's more jobs today than there were years ago. And if you're out there, you're a strength and conditioning coach, and you think you might want to be in the NBA one day, there's a lot of places you can come from and still achieve that goal.

[00:28:02.10] There's a lot of teams that have positions. There's more G-League opportunities than ever before. There's internships, there's more elite college programs. So it's something that-- I think it's attainable. And that's something I want our young strength coaches within the NSCA to know, that you can be from anywhere. You can maybe not be the highest level athlete yourself, but you can still get to the highest level of sport and be an impactful member of that team. And there's a lot of benefit to that.

[00:28:37.44] For sure. And, Eric, I think that like a lot of people, a lot of strength coaches, they want to get into the profession, and they want to get-- social media is so big now that they want to do like, hey, I want to go to do this course in Australia. And I think it's great. I think it's great. You should do it.

[00:28:55.94] But at the same time, you cannot forget the basics, right? So if you want to be a strength coach, there are some steps that you have to hit. You have to have a CSCS, for example. And then if you don't have that, but you want to go to the course in Australia, I think just, like why? Pass the CSCS first.

[00:29:15.79] I mean, the CSCS, it's hard. I failed the CSCS three times myself. After the third time, I was like, all right, I got it done because that's my passion. And if you don't have the passion to do the strength and conditioning, you will know-- as soon as you open the CSCS book and you start reading, and you're just like, whoa, this is like some information here. And I maybe you don't have the passion for that.

[00:29:40.40] But I feel people just try to take steps too much-- like a lot faster than what they supposed to do before sticking to the basic. So like if you want to be a strength coach in the NBA, as you know, the CSCS is required. So get your CSCS. That's like basic information that you're going to use for your whole career.

[00:30:00.24] All those things are very important. So it's just like the course, the Frans Bosch course in-- I don't know-- Australia, it's great. But at the same time, if you don't know the basic, those things are not going to make sense to you. So I think one thing that I would say for the young strength coaches is just like, stick with the basic.

[00:30:20.20] Yeah. Great advice. And for any of those listeners wanting to connect with you, what's the best way for them to reach out and make contact?

[00:30:30.79] I mean, I'm on social media, e-mail, whatever. I don't know if you tag here or what. It's like I feel-- I try to do a good job responding to everyone. And sometimes the questions are so repetitive and I just try to like guide them where to go, where I-- like I started, and things like that. But yeah, anytime, any young strength coach, because I was in their shoes at some point. I was a guy that like didn't know what to do. Had a degree, and coming from Brazil, and just had a dream, and here I am.

[00:31:13.90] That's awesome. That was a glimpse into strength and conditioning in the NBA.
