The pre-learning modules cover the core principles and ideas that underpin the entire Movement Model

Application of these principles will be covered weekly in the Live Content & Q&A calls.

Access to the 5 hours of pre-learning begins on 09/02/2025

1) Movement Principles - 2.5 hours total
- How the Central Nervous System controls movement through sensory inputs
- Tension, what it is and how muscles both create and manage it
- Center of Mass and Base of Support, the central principle of the entire mentorship
- How the rib cage, pelvis, scapula & foot all function to drive motion and forces through the body

2) Continuum Thinking - 2 hours total
- Sensory-motor continuum & progressing movement lessons into performance outcomes
- Length-tension relationship & the benefits of training both long and mid range muscle lengths
- Center of Mass management in the sagittal plane & frontal/transverse plane
- Breathing/ Respiration impact on mobility, pressure & performance

3) Continuums Applied & Coaching Examples
- A deeper look into how all the concepts unpacked in module 2 can be used to improve mobility, movement & performance 

These pre-learning modules are sent out 2 weeks prior to the first live call
