Functional Path Training: My Manifesto

Functional Path Training

The Functional Path is a path that had been traveled many times before but had fallen out of use in favor of smoother paved roads that promised faster and easier results. Seeking to follow and better define the functional path is a continuing journey, fortunately it is a journey that many have traveled before. Functional Path training is getting back to the basics of movement. It is learning to tune into the body and it’s inherent wisdom to produce rhythmic flowing movement.

My Manifesto

There are many new readers to this blog so I thought it would be good to state my personal manifesto in regards to what I do and what I stand for.

Innovate – Lead do not follow

Educate – Share ideas

Change the World – Lofty but each of us have the responsibility to make our world better

Define the Field – Athletic is coaching

Values Driven – Never compromise values for money or fame

Define Myself – Do not let other define me
