Functional Path Training Rules

These are simple training rules that I use to guide me on the
Functional Path to grow, develop
and
nurture adaptable athletes who understand the wisdom of their bodies and it’s ability
to self organize and solve movement problems:

Have a Plan, Execute It, and Constantly Evaluate It

Build the Complete Athlete

All systems work together all the time

Train all components all the time

Observe Law of Reversibility – Use It or Lose It

Fundamental Movement Skills Before Specific Sport Skills

You Are What You Train To Be

Build & Rebuild the Athlete from the Ground Up

Train Postural Strength with the Core as the Center of the Action

To Be Fast You Must Train Fast

Build a Work Capacity Base Appropriate For Your Sport

Train Toe Nails To Fingernails

              Train
Movements not Muscles

               Train Multi
Joint & Multi Plane Movements

Training is Cumulative

Win the Workout

Remember Simplicity Yields Complexity

  1. Hey Vern
    Great post.
    I find most of these points can be adapted to other aspects of life.
