Join Ariana as she chats with Tyler Koch about his time working as a Subject Matter Expert for the United States Air Force, overseeing Human Performance within the F-35 fighter pilot community.
He was also integral in founding the first ever Human Performance Initiative within Undergraduate Pilot Training. He has an M.S. in Exercise Science from George Washington University and prior to his role in the Air Force, he owned a gym, worked with professional athletes, and thoroughly explored the private sector of strength and conditioning. Currently, Tyler is training to become a Physician Assistant at Penn State’s Medical School.
Discussed:
Immediately, Ariana getting Tyler's last name wrong, even though she asked him how to pronounce it right before she hit record
What it takes to be a Fighter Pilot, what school looks like, and what training looks like
The purpose of the Human Performance Initiative, and its positive impact on the fighter pilot community
Testing to become a fighter pilot: how do you train to resist 9 gs of force? How do you physically resist 9 times the force of gravity while piloting a jet?
