It’s not a “fun fitness event” that will build actual, demonstrable fitness and real-world physical capabilities, but scalable, sustainable habits (AKA regular, ongoing training). Not all that different from general population, just needs to be stated for our and population since it’s seldom practiced.🤔😶

This one comes up a lot.

Is it pain, discomfort, or something else?

The reality is that sometimes it is difficult to gauge exactly what the athlete is experiencing and given the emerging research on pain hyposensitivity and hypersensitivity for the population, there’s plenty of competing variables.

This is why it is immensely important to know our athlete’s physical, adaptive, and cognitive abilities as they relate to exercise. Knowing the technical aspects of each exercise is as important as understanding our athlete’s levels of motivation and focus, along with communication skills.
