Does it really matter what
exercises the championship hockey did last year? What relevance does what they
did have to what you are doing? Are you coaching the same athletes? One of the
biggest pitfalls in all of this is the monkey see, monkey do syndrome – so and
so is the world record holder, we saw a picture of him or her doing squats on a
physioball therefore to be a world record holder we need to do squats on a
physio ball. One again I implore all of you to step back and take at the big
picture. I went through the monkey see, monkey phase around thirty years ago fortunately
I learned from that. That is what led me to the paradigm I described yesterday,
I was getting far too cute and fancy, not focusing on the need to do, but caught
up in the nice to do. Today with the internet and especially you tube there is a plethora of disinformation to lead us astray. Focus on principles and concepts.
Know the context of the exercise, who is extolling the merits of the exercise,
what are they promoting? IT IS MORE THAN AN EXERCISE – CAN I BE MORE CLEAR THAN
THAT!!!
