43: What Nobody Tells You About the Fire Academy — Nick Nottoli, Part 1

What does it actually take to survive the fire academy? In Part 1 of this two part conversation, I sit down with Nick Natoli — a former Sierra College Regional Fire Academy cadet — to talk about the real unfiltered experience of going through the academy. Nick shares his best tips and tricks for fire academy preparation, how his family supported him through one of the hardest seasons of his life, and the mistakes he made that he wishes he could go back and fix.

If you are preparing for the fire academy, working toward getting hired as a firefighter, or just starting your firefighter fitness training journey — this episode is going to give you exactly what you need to hear.

In this episode we cover:

  • Nick's top tips and tricks for fire academy prep
  • How to build a support system with your family during the academy
  • The biggest mistakes recruits make and how to avoid them
  • What Nick would do differently if he could start over
  • Real talk about what the fire academy experience is actually like
  • Advice for anyone just starting their firefighter fitness training
