Get ready to rethink everything you know about athletic training. Today, we’re joined by Ryan RP, the mastermind behind New Athlete, a pioneering training facility in Vancouver. Ryan’s unique approach to speed training has revolutionized the lives of over 7,000 athletes, including more than 140 NFL stars and 1,000+ D1 athletes. As he charts his journey from training one athlete to running his own facility, you’ll be gripped by his passion and dedication to his craft. 

Hold onto your earbuds as we delve into the nitty-gritty of Ryan’s innovative training techniques. From mastering forces to strategically redirecting body weight, Ryan’s methods are a far cry from traditional weightlifting practices. Inspired by Eastern Bloc style trainer, Jay Schroeder, Ryan’s use of isometrics has yielded significant improvements in athletic performance. We also dive into the intriguing subject of replicating the neural output from a sprint in the weight room.

Lastly, prepare for a candid discussion about the integration of different training methodologies, the rehabilitation process after severe injuries like ACL tears, and the use of cutting-edge equipment like the ARP for muscle recovery. We hear about Adrian Peterson’s inspirational ACL recovery story and discuss the potential of creating an educational podcast or course with Ryan to share his wealth of knowledge with more people. By the end, you'll understand why Ryan's training methods are transforming the sporting world.

I'm excited to share some data insights on athlete performance that we've been tracking at HansenAthletics. We're diving into what demands are placed on athletes, the type of conditioning that's appropriate for their sport, and what's important for their position. I'll be comparing the data of a linebacker and a wide receiver/cornerback, highlighting their total distance covered, high-speed running, intensity, top speed, accelerations, decelerations, and more. This information will help us improve our training methods and make better decisions for our athletes.

From there, we shift gears to talk about optimizing conditioning for sport performance. How should athletes train to meet the specific demands of their position? What role does sprint training, acceleration and deceleration, and sled loads and sprints play? We get into the nitty-gritty of these methods, discussing how they can be incorporated into practice, how much volume is ideal, and the strategic importance of situational drills. 

Tune in to understand the science behind conditioning and learn how to leverage these insights to elevate athletic performance. No matter if you're a coach planning training or a player looking to up your game, there's something in here for you.
