🎙️ Inside the Numbers — Powered by RockDaisy

Host @RonMcKeefery sits down with Erik Schwager — Dir. of Strength & Conditioning at Virginia Military Institute — to break down how performance programs can succeed in high-constraint environments by simplifying systems, empowering athletes, and focusing on what actually drives results.

From rigid schedules and external stress to implementing APRE and micro-dosing, Schwager shares how smart programming, communication, and “small wins” can improve both performance and buy-in across a team.
