The Success of 3's in Sports Performance

20/1/2017

How can you easily work out your next move? The answer could be in the success of 3's.

Your first 3 hours of the day. 
Your first 3 days of the week. 
Your first 3 weeks of the month. 
Your first 3 months of the year. 

Setting a key outcome for those 3's kickstarts your process. 
It's quite easy. But it takes evaluation of what you currently need to achieve your goal. That means starting with an evaluation. 

For those asking "what about the rest of the time, after the 3's?" the answer is revealed - each day is filled with blocks of 3. Reboot after the first 3 hours, weeks, months. 

EXOS at the German National Football team organised the 3's around Nutrition, Mindset, Movement, Recovery. 
Each athlete was involved in the nutrition they required each 3 hours, what mental cues they were to focus on in that time, what movement improvements they were to incorporate, and what their recovery looked like for that 3 hours. 

For those of us not paid to perform on the field, our performance is no less important for those we help. As a practitioner, the goals can be innumerable. For example, finding the energy to give to all your clients who come to you for help today. Another example, clarifying the layout of your group rehab class. 

As a coach, the goals are similarly innumerable. For example, organising your testing space to get some idea of where your clients are. 

For me, the first 3 hours include time with my wife, some good coffee and a healthy breakfast, a walk to lubricate the joints, fill the lungs and clear the head (no phone or iPod) - I typically get article ideas and patient treatment clarification when I'm out walking. Try and stop me after that!!

It's a challenge, in a world of indifference and ploughing through, to organise that much. Remember, "if it was easy, everyone would do it. It's the hard that makes it great." (Tom Hanks, "A League Of Their Own")

Top Trainers have a Secret. 
The Best Medical Practitioners Do Three Things Well.

Find out what, with great courses and workshops coming up for Functional Movement Systems in 2017.
It starts for clinicians with Selective Functional Movement Assessment Certification course (the Level 1) Feb 11-12 in Melbourne.

Same two days, for trainers and clinicians (who've already done SFMA) at Andrew Read's RPT gym in Moorabbin with Foundations of Conditioning. Andrew is Australia's first FMS instructor and this is one of his exceptional stand-alone courses (not a FMSystems course) for those who understand the FMS.

In March it continues with Level 1 and 2 Functional Movement Screening courses at Read Performance Training in Moorabbin on March 31st to April 2.

There are other courses being planned for the rest of the year, including level 2 SFMA (for those wondering), to be advised as they are posted. If you can't make Melbourne SFMA on Feb 11-12 because you're going to Andrew's Foundations of Conditioning, there's Mooloolaba SFMA Level 1 in May 27th and 28th.
Watch this space for courses through the year, or check out http://www.functionalmovement.com/events directly.

Toe Be or Not Toe Be: Don't Be Sparse When It Comes To Your "Tarse".

4/1/2017

Toe mobility matters, for running, jumping, walking, crawling. 

We saw previously the effects on the running stride that can occur with stiffness or loss of motor control in the feet and toe joints. 

Here's a few foot and toe mobility drills. 

PS: Check out my Interval Training Program whilst you're planning your foot care.

Physiotherapy Education: Minimum Standards Matter Most

1/1/2017

0 Comments

 
Many years ago, airlines tightened their standard operating procedures to minimise or abolish human error. These SOP's became gold standard. Unfortunately, the Indonesian airline below got sloppy and adopted a sometimes Aussie practice of "she'll be right", in the face of failing to meet standards....ie a drunk pilot 

In our industry, the best medical professionals in the world do three things right: 
1. They communicate well;
2. They get the diagnosis right;
3. They apply the right treatment and/or exercise. 

Of those, the most important is getting the diagnosis right. A practitioner with great communication skills who gets the diagnosis wrong is not a great practitioner on that occasion. A practitioner with great exerise and treatment skills, applied to the wrong diagnosis, is not a great practitioner on that occasion. Getting the diagnosis correct is objective, requires an SOP and minimum standards to allocate individuals into three primary categories: 
1. pain disorders
2. mobility disorders
3. motor control and stability disorders.

Each impairment that we come across fits into one of those, so it makes perfect sense to use a road map to reveal those in our clients from the beginning. Beyond that, our industry has made a bunch of specialty programs for those who choose to become more highly skilled and qualified in one of those areas. It's a necessary reductionist approach to upskill but it should not be at the expense of the generalist approach of revealing those three categories and being proficient at managing each of them. 


Don't be drunk to your opinions when it comes to being a great practitioner.
