    Black Ops to Backcount w/ Matt Williams of Nodens Outdoors

    The Nodens Outdoors program is unique and requires constant, near-daily contact between Nodens staff and recipients for 8-9 months. Their premise is simple--return our transitioning warriors to their natural state and many of the physiological, emotional, mental, nuerological issues that face that demographic can start to heal. Nodens believe that bowhunting is uniquely able to provide that natural state.   Bowhunting places the recipient in the wild, outdoors, where they exercise their primal function of hunting and providing food for their families. It requires all the skill they have gained in careers in Special Operations and allows them to transition those skills into a civilian setting. Nodens use of human performance sensors throughout the program shows that this model works to improve key physiological markers.  Nodens program provides the recipient the knowledge, equipment and experience to add bowhunting into their lives as a continual therapeutic measure -- and reinforces this with advanced human performance training and analytics and surrounds the recipients with a new team...a Tribe.  In 2023, Nodens will expand and scale their program to include the family members of alumni recipients in order to further unify the Veterans with their Tribe. Their family will be invited to a retreat at the Ranch in Julian to learn the same skills so that outdoor immersion isn't just another thing that takes their Veteran away from home...they can share in the experience and fortify one another.  To learn more checkout: https://www.nodensoutdoors.org/

    Bowhunting Exercises w/ Bert Sorin

    Bert and his wonderful wife Lesley are the proud parents of three children.  Bert and his family, a family rooted in strength, have been entrenched in the human performance world for as far back as he can remember. Growing up with a barbell in his hand has been pivotal in charting the course of his life and leading him to become a 4-time Division 1 All-American Track and Field (Hammer and 35 lb. Weight Throw), Southeastern Conference Champion, former record holder in Weight Throw, and an Olympic trials athlete. Bert is currently the President and Co-Owner of Sorinex Exercise Equipment, a very successful family run business founded by his father, another big name in the iron game, Richard Sorin.  Together they are the inventors of hardware and applications to make people more effective, efficient, and safe on the sports field and the battle field.  Although Sorin never served in the arms forces, his gear is changing the game to provide readiness and rebuilding to the veterans prior to, during and after their deployments to far off, hostile lands. Bert’s network of veterans, scientists, coaches and therapists allows for a combination of expertise and support, and has been changing lives on both sides of the table. Bert pushes each day to find the best in people, and to assist in their exploration of their potential and maximize their value to the cause.
