It was then that he discovered some of the principles of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) and some other techniques that really opened his eyes to a whole new way of working with athletes. He has since been honing his craft and is now working with some of the top athletic programs and professional athletes in many different sports.\r\n\nToday Austin shares some of his knowledge and expertise to help us learn to move better and train smarter.\r\n\nSubscribe to the 18STRONG Podcast on iTunes and stitcher by clicking the button below:\r\n\nhttps://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/18strong-podcast-golf-golf/id918983997?mt=2andls=1 () http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=53823andrefid=stpr ()\r\n\nAustin Einhorn’s Background\r\n\n\r\n\n* \r\n\nCertified Strength and Conditioning Specialist\r\n\n\r\n\n* \r\n\nDynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization Exercise Trainer\r\n\n\r\n\n* \r\n\nCertified Microgate Expert\r\n\n\r\n\n* \r\n\nFlow Genome Project Coach\r\n\n\r\n\n\r\n\n\r\n\n* \r\n\nConsultant to Chinese Olmypic Staff and Athletes\r\n\n\r\n\n* \r\n\nStanford Men’s Volleyball Volunteer Assistant Coach\r\n\n\r\n\n* \r\n\nWest Coast Representative for Microgate\r\n\n\r\n\n* \r\n\nOptoJump advisor for Houston Rockets and Seattle Seahawks\r\n\n\r\n\n\r\n\n\r\n\n* \r\n\nAmatuer Photographer\r\n\n\r\n\n\r\n\nHighlights from this episode\r\n\n\r\n\n* Austin tells us his story and experiences from his schooling to now, where he is working with some amazing professional and collegiate athletes, teams, and institutions.\r\n\n* Some of the athletes he works with: Dwight Lowry (San Diego Chargers), Stanford Volleyball, professional/amateur golfers, soccer players, etc.\r\n\n* We discuss some of the technology that Austin uses in his training, specifically the Optogate and http://www.optogait.com/?lang=en-US (OptoJumper/OptoGait)\r\n\n* Austin discusses his thoughts around traditional strength and conditioning and why we’ve gotten it wrong for so many years.\r\n\n* How to get the brain more involved in our training.\r\n\n* Blocked practice vs Random practice.\r\n\n* Why creating movements in training that replicate the sport is so important.\r\n\n* Austin describes his prescription of “movement vitamins” and what it would look like for a mid 40y.o. golfer that comes to work with him.\r\n\n* Austin’s final piece of advice is to simply question everything you do before you do it (even what he is telling you) and to simply work on moving better.\r\n\n\r\n\n\r\n\nCaddyShack or Happy Gilmore?\r\n\nHappy Gilmore (He’s never seen CaddyShack, which I gave him as a homework assignment!)\r\n\nOne or 2 of the Most Influential People, Books, or Experiences in Your Life?\r\n\nThe coaches and athletes he has had the chance to work with over the years that have help him create his path in the sports performance world.\r\n\nWho would you like to spend a day on the course with?\r\n\nIt would have to be a “fivesome.” is buddy Patrick, Dr. Michael Gervais, Josh Waitzkin, and John Kiley\r\n\nWhat are you excited about in your near future?\r\n\nA new video library that he is creating at Apiros Performance\r\n\nWhere to Find Austin Einhorn:\r\n\nwebsite: http://www.apirosperformance.com/ (ApirosPerformance.com)\r\n\nFacebook:
