podcasts from the Leaders Performance Institute and our partners Keiser.<\/h4>\n<hr \/>\n<h6>By John Portch<\/h6>\n<p>In this second\u00a0episode, Leaders Performance Institute Editor John Portch caught up with Aaron Wellman.<\/p>\n<p>Aaron is the Strength &amp; Conditioning Coach of the New York Giants.<\/p>\n<p>His arrival at the Giants saw him overhaul the team\u2019s offseason and in-season training regimens and the result was a significant decrease in season-ending injuries suffered by Giants\u2019 players.<\/p>\n<p>The team\u2019s practice facility in East Rutherford, New Jersey, is fully stocked with Keiser equipment.<\/p>\n<p>Coming up, you\u2019ll hear Aaron delve into the goals of his S&amp;C program and the importance of conveying a clear message.<\/p>\n<p>Also up for discussion were:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The absence of absolutes in S&amp;C beyond pure physics &#8211; athletes are people, not machines [3:30];<\/li>\n<li>Aaron\u2019s desire for players to ask \u2018why?\u2019 [4:00];<\/li>\n<li>Mitigating the time constraints and inability to build chronic workloads in the NFL [12:10];<\/li>\n<li>The difference between designing regimens for student-athletes and professional football players [16:10];<\/li>\n<li>Why the timing of an NFL bye week can have a significant impact on performance [22:20].<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><iframe
