101st Airborne implementation of the Elite Tactical Athlete Training Program
To validate our Elite 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. For more details of this program, please refer to our newsletter, and come back to our website for updates.
