Nervous System Training Podcast - Ep. 1: Foundations of Nervous System Training w/ Quintin Torres

In the first-ever episode of the Nervous System Training Podcast, Jacob Shields sits down with Quintin Torres to dive deep into the principles of nervous system training—a highly specialized approach to athletic performance, biomechanics, and injury prevention.

Quintin unpacks the science of proprioception, stretch-shortening cycles, and foot biomechanics, explaining how these key factors influence movement, coordination, and power generation across different sports. The conversation also covers foot health, barefoot training, and progressive overload through complexity rather than just weight.

Quintin also shares his AI-driven research approach, discussing how he leverages sports science data from Soviet research, Western methodologies, and biomechanics studies to refine training techniques.

Key Takeaways:
✅ What is Nervous System Training?
✅ Why foot and ankle proprioception is crucial for all athletes
✅ The difference between skill training & performance training
✅ How fascia plays a role in athletic movement and injury prevention
✅ The role of AI in sports science research
✅ How to start nervous system training on a budget
✅ Evolutionary perspectives on movement & training

If you're an athlete, coach, trainer, or fitness enthusiast, this episode will change the way you think about strength, coordination, and movement efficiency!
