Episode 161: The Missing Link Between Movement, Strength and Performance
About this episode
This episode explores the connections between movement, strength, and performance, emphasizing the importance of movement quality and foundational training.
What is the missing link between movement, strength, and performance? In this episode, I discuss why building strength isn't always the first step toward better performance. Movement quality, awareness, breathing, control, mobility, and stability all play important roles in how efficiently we move and perform. Whether you're a cheerleader, coach, trainer, therapist, or active adult, understanding these connections can help you train smarter, reduce compensation, and improve long-term outcomes. Join me as we explore how movement serves as the foundation for strength and performance—and why sometimes the biggest improvements come from addressing the basics first.
