How do we help people train for moments that leave no time to think?
In this first episode of Yin Yak: The Podcast, we explore the idea of muscle memory—how it’s built, what triggers it under pressure, and why it matters far beyond the skating rink.
Host Yin Kreher is joined by Julian Cha, a nurse and healthcare leader, to reflect on high-stakes training, the choreography of clinical response, and what instructional designers can learn from athletes and first responders alike.
🧠 From figure skating routines to trauma team protocols, we ask:
