Idan Ravin Esq., MSc, CSCS is an elite performance coach for many of the top NBA players. He is also the author of The Hoops Whisperer and
It Takes Patience.
Idan has a very unique life journey and also a gift for the craft of improving and fine tuning performance. Whether you are trying to improve your fitness, health, or life situation I think you will learn a lot by hearing from someone who trains individuals who are the best in the world at their craft.
When I first heard of Idan, I was inspired by his ability to think out of the box and his ability to help his athletes push past boundaries. He joins me in a special episode of The One Thing Podcast .
In this episode we discuss:
- How Idan went from an orthodox upbringing, to law, school to becoming a performance coach for some of the top NBA players.
- How he transitioned from training people more as a personal internship to being compensated greatly for doing what he loves.
- What it's like to try and improve the performance of the top athletes of the world such as Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony, Steph Curry, Lebron James, Chris Paul, and Blake Griffin.
- How he focuses on progression and performance and how his sessions involve progressions and regression.
- How he creates training sessions that mimic the outcome he is trying to achieve.
- How he likes to work with athletes that have been overlooked or who have been given up on.
- Structure and Rules . How to apply rules to specific situations but not as a generality.
- How he communicates with athletes and the importances of being calm, thoughtful, direct, and analytical.
- Seeing things different and asking different questions.
