Ep 82: Building Athletes: A Neurological Approach to Training with Elite Strength Coach John Nelson

Our guest is John Nelson, founder of Elite Level Performance (ELP). We cover John's journey from dealing with back trouble in high school (including what ended up being a tumor on his lumbar spine) to establishing a multi-service facility aimed at optimizing athletic performance and working with the best baseball players in the greater Memphis area. The conversation delves deeply into the advanced techniques John uses and how these methodologies are dramatically improving movement and performance in athletes.    We cover: In-depth discussion on neurological techniques to calm nociceptive responses, activate muscles, and improve movement patterns – and the effects all of this can have on athletic performance. The evolving approach to strength training, focusing more on full-body movement and de-emphasizing classical lifts. Integration of the Neubie device with advanced systems of assessment, activation, movement, and mobility.   Tune in for a comprehensive exploration of advanced training techniques and the impact they're making with John's athletes!
