Episode 1 - Do the Slow Things Silent and the Fast Things Violent

Written By Nate Palin

Listen on SPOTIFY | Listen on APPLE PODCAST

Slow and silent vs fast and violent represent two ends of the spectrum when it comes to movement. Military professionals are best served bringing both intention and attention to slower and faster elements of their physical training.

Former Army Ranger and Special Operations Human Performance Coach, Nate Palin, offers a reality based approach to coaching the warfighter on how shoot, move, and communicate more effectively on the front lines and the home front. I reconcile high performance ideals with an often volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous reality faced by the warfighter.
