Functional Path Training: Kudos to the Soccer Champions

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.

Kudos to the Soccer Champions

Chivas of Guadalajara won the Torneo Apertura (Mexico has two seasons)
I had the opportunity to consult with Chivas last November and October. It was great to watch their play and the drive to the championship. Congratulations to a great group of players and coaches

It has been a few years since I have worked with the Tarheels, but I keep in close contact with Greg Gatz, their conditioning coach. It is always great to see the system prevail.

University of California, Santa Barbara Men, NCAA Men’s Champions
UCSB is in my home town and I attended UCSB for my California teaching credential a million years ago. It is always great to see David beat Goliath, they beat UCLA.
