Your house will Crumble without a solid foundation.

Have you ever looked at a house and thought about what's holding it up and keeping it from falling? The solid foundation is what holds it all together. Without a solid bodily foundation your house (BODY) will eventually begin to crumble and break down if you do not start by strengthening and stabilizing the 3 most pivotal areas of our bodies first ;Hips, Core, Shoulders. Before anything we focus on strengthening the most vulnerable areas of the body that gets stressed in everyday movements.. A lot of time we use these muscles indirectly not even knowing that we are because it has become common movements. These 3 areas of our body are known as your pillar of strength, adding strength, stability and mobility to these areas will improve your posture and alignment, allowing your joints to move more efficiently.

Success is always rooted in the fundamentals

Train To Perform "Successful performance is always rooted in the fundamentals" Sports performance training can be misunderstood at times, most protocols are to develop the athlete to be big and strong primarily but there's so much more that goes into developing an athlete. Of course all coaches would love to have the prototype athlete, (big an d strong) but with all the intangibles. Fast with great range of motion, strong with great endurance , Agile with great stability etc. In order to develop an athlete in this manner it all comes down to the type of program installed. On every level of sports it is pivotal for the athlete to understand the fundamentals of movements and how those movements translates to higher performance levels. Success is always rooted in the fundamentals, the quality over quality approach quantity wins every time.

Exercise explanations and demonstrations.

Exercise explanation and demonstration. There is a distinct teaching component of active coaching, but the focus is on helping the athlete connect the WHY with the WHAT.

When demos are executed valuable cues are highlighted, linked to previous exercise experiences and related to sports skills directly. Athletes tend to be more kinesthetically aware of their skill and sport movements and so they can provide to the coach and begin to better understand how to use their kinetic chain to produce more power, balance, control and fluid movement in their sport.

Movement Prep (Preparing the athlete to move)

Movement Preparation (Preparing the athlete to move) During Movement Prep the goal is to increase core body temperature, address key mobility and stability demands, and activate the nervous system. It should be done so using movements and speeds specific to the program for the day. Moving from an isolation focus to an movement integration focus, movements will begin simple and slowly move towards more complex patterns at a higher rate of speed. This safely prepares the body physically and mentally for the training followed. 1.( GLUTE Activation) I start by activating the glutes using mini-bands around the knees and/or the ankles. The client will perform one round of movements with the legs completely extended and one round of movements in an athletic base where they are flexed at the hip, knee and ankle. Movements will be linearly and/or laterally focused based on the training session that follows 2. (Dynamic Stretches) Glute activation will be followed by specific dynamic s
