Efficient Movement’s Philosophy on Training Style of Sports Performance Coaches

1) TECHNIQUE!!! TECHNIQUE!!! TECHNIQUE!!! TECHNIQUE!!! No kid will ever do a single repetition with bad form in the presence of us! This may mean you have to be a little “A-D-D” and watch everything at once, but it must be a huge priority!

2) Be very VOICETROUS!!! Nothing is quiet when you are training at Efficient Movement. You must OVER-EMPHASIZE and OVER-VERBALIZE every coaching cue. I want athletes to “get the point” over and over and over again, that when training with Efficient Movement, they are never allowed to “go through the motions” of any exercise!

3) Care for kids. Text them to see how their games have gone, or wish them luck on upcoming games. Ask them how they are playing. Make time to attend their games. Develop close relationships with athletes, but not too personal with their personal life outside of sports.

4) Be very strict in their workouts!! Very professional, intimidating, and make them work harder then they could imagine working. But before and after workouts, be a little more friendly and socialize with each of them. Teach them mental toughness!

“Pain is just weakness leaving the body” – must endure pain (not pain in joints EVER) to get stronger.

5) Push kids hard, but NEVER allow pain in a joint when working out at Efficient Movement. There is plenty of things we can do with them that doesn’t irritate the injury. Nobody sits out of workouts because of joint pain, just exercise choice is altered to a pain-free exercise or pain-free part of their body.

6) No cussing. No cussing in music. Be very professional!
