Welcome to the second episode in our new series of podcasts from the Leaders Performance Institute and our partners Keiser.

In this second episode, Leaders Performance Institute Editor John Portch caught up with Aaron Wellman.

Aaron is the Strength & Conditioning Coach of the New York Giants.

His arrival at the Giants saw him overhaul the team’s offseason and in-season training regimens and the result was a significant decrease in season-ending injuries suffered by Giants’ players.

The team’s practice facility in East Rutherford, New Jersey, is fully stocked with Keiser equipment.

Coming up, you’ll hear Aaron delve into the goals of his S&C program and the importance of conveying a clear message.

Also up for discussion were:

• 
  
• The absence of absolutes in S&C beyond pure physics - athletes are people, not machines [3:30];
  
• Aaron’s desire for players to ask ‘why?’ [4:00];
  
• Mitigating the time constraints and inability to build chronic workloads in the NFL [12:10];
  
• The difference between designing regimens for student-athletes and professional football players [16:10];
  
• Why the timing of an NFL bye week can have a significant impact on performance [22:20].
