Today we’re joined by Austin Jochum. Austin is the owner of Jochum Strength, where he’s been helping his athletes improve their game through exposing them to a wide variety of complex movement practices while utilizing a play-based, constraints led approach in training. In this conversation we’re going to look at some of the specific ways he’s been implementing his method, the benefits that he’s seen in both his own performance and that of his athletes, the importance of using play to drive progress and fuel motivation, and the immense responsibility that coaches have in properly developing both the physical and mental qualities within their athletes and students. I really enjoyed this conversation, and if you do too, please be sure to like, share, and subscribe if you aren’t already.
