  • We often get asked, "What is grit, and how will I be evaluated on that attribute at the Air Force Special Warfare Assessment and Selection, or A&S, course? How do I prepare?"

    Well, we got you. Grit, mental fortitude, or the willingness to continue in the face of uncertainty can *most certainly* be trained and built.

    In this enlightening conversation, Aaron and Peach delve into the significance of mental fortitude and the means to bolster the mind before embarking on the pipeline journey. They stress the importance of honoring commitments and persevering through discomfort. They also highlight the power of reshaping one's mindset and embracing the identity of a person who follows through without making excuses. Additionally, they discuss the value of self-regulation, managing reactions, and maintaining emotional balance. They place emphasis on the concept of reach-back moments, both physically and mentally, as crucial preparation for the challenges ahead.

    Jared and Aaron also underscore the significance of mental fortitude and its cultivation. They emphasize the need for resilience and the capacity to surmount obstacles. They expound on the idea of drawing strength from past experiences during reach-back moments to navigate adversity. Furthermore, they advocate for dependability, fulfilling commitments, and prioritizing others. They underscore the importance of mental preparedness and being comfortable with starting from the bottom. Overall, they offer valuable insights and strategies for fortifying the mind.

  • Well, you guys did it. You actually shamed Taylor Starch into getting a new microphone. The comment section actually made someone take action. Just for the Aaron Love Hate Club- no, I am not leaving the pod. That suggestion will be ignored.

    The conversation picks right up where Taylor left off and centers on the significance of training connective tissue to prevent injuries and enhance running performance. It underscores the importance of maintaining proper length, load, and duration in connective tissue training while emphasizing the repercussions of training errors and the subsequent rehabilitation cycle. Furthermore, it delves into the value of targeted strength training for connective tissue, particularly in absorbing and dispersing force during running, as well as the effects of training on tendon stiffness and the interplay between muscular and connective tissue health.

    The discussion also addresses prevalent knee injuries in runners, including IT band pain, patellofemoral pain, and patellar tendon issues, while dispelling misconceptions and outdated practices related to these issues and stressing the significance of load, strain, and capacity in addressing them. The conversation also explores the importance of joint mobility, muscle training, and the role of the nervous system in augmenting strength and endurance.

    It offers insights into tailored solutions for different tissue issues and their impact on bone, connective tissue, and muscle fibers. The conversation emphasizes the necessity of training both slow and fast-twitch muscle fibers, the crucial role of connective tissue in muscle growth, and the importance of joint training. Furthermore, it underscores the need to train specific tissues and adapt to training load errors, providing valuable insights into the principles of rehabilitation and prehabilitation. Additionally, it highlights the significance of expanding tissue capacity and the influence of training on joint mechanics and connective tissue quality.
