A Coach's Guide to Optimizing Movement
This is a book about movement. The aim
of this book is to allow you to objectively evaluate movement quality and to coach towards
improvement thereof. To this end, I will offer
a system—a taxonomy—that categorizes and
describes all trainable movement. Secondly, I
will offer a competency checklist for each category so that you can assess, according to fixed
criteria, the execution of a given movement.
The aim is to be as systematic as possible. The
downstream effects of such an approach can be
far-reaching. A taxonomy can provide a universal language for exercise professionals, allowing clear communication between coaches,
trainers, and physical therapists. The intended
outcome of each exercise will be readily apparent. Fixed criteria will standardize movement
quality so as to lead us towards objective appraisal of movement performance.
