Functional Path Training: Certification

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.

Certification

I have received quite a few inquires regarding certification. I do not and will not offer a certification. There are already too many certifications . Another certification will only confuse and muddle an already confused field. I will offer a Mentorship program that will be an in depth educational experience. It will offer a bend of hands experience and in depth theory. Tentatively it is planned to last at least five days. It will require a significant time and monetary commitment. There will be required pre readings and assignments. I am still working on it and hope to have it ready to go in early 2006possibly late this year if I can get my act together.The goal is to help define the fieldof athletic development and significantly improve the the level of education of the people who attend.
