In this episode, Jacob and Quintin dive deep into the nervous system foundations of athletic training—covering why traditional methods often break athletes down, and how system-level thinking creates resilience instead of fragility. We discuss overtraining, balancing intensity with recovery, and the hidden forces that shape performance beyond sets and reps.

🔥 Whether you’re a coach, athlete, or just curious about high-performance training, this conversation will challenge the way you think about sports, fitness, and human potential.
