Functional Path Training: England Trip III

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.

y I will be the English Cricket

Board Phyio’s and Strength & Conditioning staff reviewing their screening procedures and presenting my ideas on dynamic core stability. Thursday and Friday I will be presenting to a workshop sponsored by the English Cricket Board. The title of the workshop is; Functional Training In Injury Prevention & Performance Enhancement (Optimising In Season Training, Performance & Recovery) I am really looking forward to the trip. Loughborough University is one of the largest Universities in Europe. It has a great reputation as a Physical Education school It truly has been the cradle of coaches in

Britain

for the past fifty to sixty years. It is the lama mater of Sebastian Coe, Dave Morecroft and Steve Backley all famous British track & Field

athletes. The following is a picture from my last trip of the EIS Strength & Conditionig coaches from the various ceneter. This was at Bisham Abbey
