Redefining Athletic Training: Ryan Paul of New Athlete
In this fascinating podcast episode, we delve into the world of athletic training with none other than Ryan Paul, the mastermind behind New Athlete. Based in Vancouver, Ryan has transformed the lives of over 7,000 athletes, including more than 140 NFL stars and over a thousand Division 1 athletes.
His innovative approach to speed training and unique methodologies have redefined the way athletes train and recover. We kick off the episode by discussing how Ryan grew his training business from a single athlete to running his own state-of-the-art facility. His relentless passion and dedication are evident as he shares the journey of establishing New Athlete and the trials and triumphs along the way.
Ryan’s training techniques are anything but ordinary. His emphasis on mastering gravity forces and strategic body weight redirection is a refreshing departure from traditional weightlifting practices. Inspired by Eastern Bloc style trainer Jay Schroeder, Ryan’s use of isometrics has yielded impressive improvements in athletic performance.
We also explore the intriguing subject of replicating the neural output from a sprint in the weight room. This discussion highlights the importance of understanding basic principles of physiology when attempting to train speed. It's an interesting peek into how Ryan’s training techniques have had success in rehabilitating injured athletes and improving mobility and movement.
The conversation then shifts to the blending of different training methodologies. We discuss the importance of understanding different disciplines and then creating a new athlete formula with a combination of them. This approach helps in tackling low-hanging fruit when it comes to training athletes and ensures that they are well-rounded in their fitness and abilities.
A significant part of the episode is dedicated to discussing the rehabilitation process after severe injuries like ACL tears. Ryan shares inspiring stories, such as Adrian Peterson’s remarkable ACL recovery story, and emphasizes the importance of instilling confidence in athletes who have been injured. The conversation also covers the use of cutting-edge equipment like the ARP for muscle recovery.
We conclude the episode with a discussion about New Athlete's online platforms and the potential of creating an educational podcast or course with Ryan. This would enable Ryan to share his wealth of knowledge with more people and transform the sporting world even further.
This episode provides a treasure trove of insights into the world of athletic training and is a must-listen for athletes and trainers alike. The knowledge shared by Ryan RP in this episode has the potential to revolutionize the way we approach athletic training, performance, and recovery.
