Episode 035 - Unlocking 3D Movement: Developing Adaptable Athletes in a Movement Deficient World with Nate Schafer

In this episode, I sit down with Nathan Schafer, founder of 3D Athletics, to explore a smarter, more holistic approach to movement training. Rooted in principles learned from Gary Gray, Nathan shares how 3D movement prep, extensive plyos, and strategic variability can develop better movers—and better athletes—without chasing higher and higher outputs.🎯 Topics covered:Why most warm-ups are a wasted opportunityThe "gear shifting" concept that elite athletes masterWhy movement IQ > pure vertical jump numbersThe hidden value of isometrics in athletic developmentHow to spot and clean up movement deficiencies using 3D patternsPractical ways to integrate 3D movement into your warm-upsWhether you’re a coach, parent, or athlete looking to get better without the grind, this one’s packed with gold.🔗 Connect with Nathan Schafer:Instagram: @3Dathletes3D Movement App: Linked in his bio🎙 Hosted by @coachryanpatrick
