RHP #121. Jordan Goldstein, Kinesiology PhD and Phya Academy Coach

Jordan has been a Professor of sports history, philosophy, and sociology. He has a PhD in Kinesiology, and is an accomplished researcher with peer reviewed articles and published books.

He has a unique historical and philosophical perspective on the meaning of sport as a cultural activity. In practice he understands how to communicate complex philosophical concepts and detailed historical analysis in an informative, and engaging style.

Fed up with the ideological rigidity and lack of critical thinking in the University, Dr. Goldstein decided to start Phya Academy, to spread a message of optimism through physical challenge. Dr. Goldstein creates custom programs using deep knowledge of ancient sport wisdom to help individuals, trainers, teams and coaches.
