How does movement occur? What are the fundamental principles that allow you to move through the world? What is input? Why are levers an important piece to understanding rotation?
Co-authored by movement experts Adarian Barr and Jenn Pilotti, this book is written for the curious mover, athlete, coach, or teacher. You will learn the key aspects to how movement occurs and will be inspired to look at movement through a different lens.
Let Me Introduce You is the start of a conversation about movement.
It invites critical thinking and curiosity. It's an opportunity to throw out preconceived ideas about
what should and shouldn't happen, the rules that exist around certain every day movement
tasks, exercises, and athletic skills.
The curious coach or mover is left with the ability to observe and assess what they see based
on the scientific principles that govern our physical world; what's left is an opportunity to
suggest.
The suggestion also invites a conversation, because if the suggestion leads to a reward of some
kind, the student, client, or athlete will want to try again; if not, the conversation takes a different
turn.
A conversation, by definition, means ideas are exchanged between two or more people. In our
case, these ideas revolve around a theme and appear in threesomes (because we like threes).
Some of the ideas include:
Lever arm, fulcrum, effort
Stress, strain, deformation
Anchors, pressure, input
Collisions, vibrations, expansion
Levers, threesomes, movement
We invite you to join the conversation as we discuss, explore, and, of course, move.
