Functional Path Training: Milwaukee Bucks

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.

Milwaukee Bucks

I am in Milwaukee now working the Bucks. My primary focus here is to work with Tim Wilson, the strength and conditioning coach. Tim is an old friend and colleague. He and I worked for AlVemiel at the same time and then worked together with the White Sox. Tim is a very good coach who is always interested in making himself better. Yesterday we focused on working on improving acceleration mechanics as they relate to the game of basketball. It is always fun to work with professionals like Tim.

Would you be willing to post a sample workout of what you are doing with them?

Specifically on basketball defensive shuffle? There are so many different schools of thought with the latest being from Lee Taft.

thanks!
