What starts as a conversation about pain relief quickly turns into a deeper dive into performance, durability, and what it really means to train for the long game.Guest Spotlight: Born and raised in San Diego, Jordan grew up immersed in sports and eventually played college football at Pomona College.Initially on the path to law school, his journey shifted after a family business setback and a pivotal back injury during his final football season.That injury led to the creation of PlayOn Relief, a natural, long-lasting pain relief solution built from his family’s original pharmaceutical technology.Now a coach with nearly a decade of experience, Jordan focuses on helping athletes build strength, improve mobility, and stay active for life.Key Takeaways:Solve your own problems first.
