101st Airborne implementation of the Eagle Tactical Athlete Training Program
To validate our Eagle Tactical Athlete Training Program, an 8-week efficacy trial on 101st Airborne soldiers has been finished recently. The results were encouraging, as multiple performance variables demonstrated significant improvement. Currently we are moving to the next phase of this program, during which instructors will be trained and the whole program will be implemented division-wide. A new newsletter has been released with the most up-to-date information and results about this training program.
