It's not your fault!

Have you ever been yelled at by a coach? Shown a drill one time and was expected to do it perfectly? You didn't perform to the coach's standards...guess what...it was probably not your fault!!

Movement has always been an innate skill that young athletes either possess or don't. You have heard the coaches yell 'FASTER' and 'GET THERE' as they try and motivate you "move" better or quicker.

The idea that an athlete's ability to learn or be taught movement that will progressively be molded and improve over time is still a hot debate topic among coaches. As I'm sure you have heard a coach or parent say...'well he/she is just slow and there is nothing you can do about it.'

It's not the athlete who is lacking anything in particular which is keeping them from acquiring the correct movement patterns, it's the coach or trainer who is lacking...lacking a well thought out progressive system that teaches fundamental movement strategies.

The system evolves with the athlete over time and follows them through their critical growth and developmental years, molding efficient movement patterns to which speed strength and power can be applied at appropriate times.
