Realign First

If you know what I mean, you are on a good start😂
It took me the longest time to let go of this competitive nature (wanting to win, not wanting to lose) as my drive….

What my 30years of accumulated experience playing the game ⚽️ reminds me over and over is the more you care about the results, the more you’ll try harder and take more risks. (There was definitely a period of my ⚽️ career that this was worth it)

Can you guess where I’m going with this?

Basically, what I’m trying to say is, this mentality increases your risk of getting hurt.

If you’re okay with that, go for it.

But if you know you’re going to regret it (like most bodies over age 30 will), maybe don’t take that chance?

If you want to enjoy your sport for longer, not being injured is the 🔑 feature for the joy of playing.

If this is important to you, you must learn to make better decisions.

Don’t let your ego or peer-pressure suck you closer to injury.
Play smart, is the name of the game 🎖️

If you’re on the same page with me, follow along my journey as I thrive to continue to play ⚽️ in my 40s.

What’s your experience??

I know a lot of people have this goal, but not many people have this in mind.

What makes you last long is totally dependent on the health of your joints.
Movement efficiency basically means not stressing any “particular” joint while you move and do the stuff you do.
We all have to use all our joints in our body in order to move.
How well you use them generally requires a base understanding how your body actually works.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t part of our school curriculum growing up, but we all still have a long active life to live, and it’s never too late to learn😉

If you are a keen learner, stay tuned.
I know the Internet is a confusing place, but I’ll help you connect the dots of your fragmented knowledge😄

It’s so obvious, if you think about it,,,
but not many take it to heart and tap into the power of it.

So, a little background if you don’t know me. I mainly teach how to move efficiently in order to maximize your athletic potential before resorting to strength building work like traditional weight lifting.

Without explaining the nitty gritty of how I do this, let’s just say, it’s like learning new skills.

As you get better at moving your body in an efficient manner, you will feel stronger (↗️force output) last longer (↘️wasting energy) and ↘️risk of injuries.

I mean who doesn’t want that, right?

I teach, you learn.
Sure, knowledge is powerful, but how do you actually get BETTER at a skill?

By PRACTICING.

🌱PRACTICING with curiosity
🌿PRACTICING until you internalize the skill
🌳PRACTICING until it becomes automatic

The ones who understands this are the ones who really see the benefits.
They believe in the process.
The ones who think 1h/week is enough to change their behaviour (how they move) will see minimal progress. (Progressing, but slow. Very slow)

Think what you would say to a kid if they want to become a professional soccer player one day.

Same thing.

Do you feel your movement habits are on point?

If you’re a “believe in the process” type of person, I already like you. You’re my people😎😎
