Episode 164: The Biggest Mistakes Coaches Make During Movement Screens
About this episode
This episode discusses the importance of understanding movement through screens rather than focusing solely on perfect form.
In this episode, I explain why movement screens shouldn't be about finding perfect form—they should help us understand how the body solves movement. We'll discuss: • Why compensation isn't always a bad thing • The five questions I ask during every movement screen • How movement quality changes exercise selection • Why mobility, motor control, and strength all work together • Why observing movement is one of the most valuable skills coaches, trainers, therapists, and athletes can develop Whether you're working with cheerleaders, clients in the gym, or simply trying to move better yourself, this episode will help you begin seeing movement in a whole new way. Because better observation leads to better movement. Movement Tracker Move Better App Connect with Laura
