Nugget Of the Day: “The limiting factor is not resources, for they are plentiful, but knowledge, which is scarce”

This quote leads us into our guest Jordan Nieuwsma! Jordan is currently a sports performance coach at Elon University and has spent time at the University of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Concordia St.Paul as well as other spots. I found Jordan through a power point that was sent to me on a NSCA conference talk he gave on “Sports Movement through the eyes of an athlete” which does an amazing job of breaking down the sport and questioning if what a lot of traditional weight room programs is doing are correct. 

Today we tried to dive deep into the world of the constraints led approach, small sided games and how to bridge the gap between the weight room and what is actually going on, on the field.

Jordan talked alot about some of his small sided games and he has a ton of examples on his Youtube which can be found here
