Season 4 Episode 27 is out with Nathan Jones. Nathan owns Elevation Athletic Performance located in Cassville, MO. Nathan prides his facility on quality Strength & Conditioning programs to help athletes reach their full potential.
Nathan started EAP in 2021 and has seen a lot of growth in the last year. Nathan goes in-depth talking about how to start a facility but more importantly knowing your population demographic. Nathan found his niche in Cassville, MO by offering best quality training programs and atmosphere.
Nathan spent time as an OPP Intern (Optimal Power Performance located in Tempe, AZ) in 2021. Nathan talks about how this was such an eye-opening experience for him and what quality player development entails. Nathan talks about how his experience gave him the confidence to learn and explore the field of strength & conditioning in a positive manner.
Nathan is a huge proponent of the conjugate method for athletes. Nathan goes on to talk about why he uses this method and why it is so helpful to all athletes no matter what season they are currently in (Off-Season, Preseason, In season, Postseason).
Please join me in listening to Nathan and his shared experiences about Strength & Conditioning!
