Functional Path Training: Australia Day Four

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.

Australia Day Four

I am like a kid in a toy store with my parents credit card! This atmosphere is so stimulating I wish I could share it with all of you. Yesterday did a web conference on Advances in Performance training the morning and then in the afternoon a workshop with NSWIS coaches on Planned Performance Training. Some real good discussion across sports, same problems worldwide when it comes to planning. Key I stressed was to be practical! Last night had dinner with Grant Duthie, assistant conditioning coach for South Sydney Ruby League team. He has a PhD in Sport Science. Sharp guy, picked his brain on Athletic Competency testing, starting to figure et out. Today I spend the morning with Kenneth Graham, senior sport scientist brainstorming. Afternoon with Diving and the evening I get to do a session with Field hockey. Below are pictures of

presentations from the weekend.
