I am super excited to share with all of you one of the more interesting and mind-blowing topics that I have come across recently. The content of the video and programming that I share in this article is information that I can promise you, you will not find anywhere else on the internet, and that I have personally only been able to identify one coach who is applying these concepts. This is very exciting and I can't wait to apply this concept further for all of you to benefit from!
In this article, I will be sharing one of our live lessons with our Alliance Student Coaches that we recently had about training the fascia for performance. After, I will share one of the programs I have created as well as the progression model to build this fascial connection.
This is a very exciting and new concept that I have been learning more about so I am very excited to share this information with you all! Please reach out with any questions you might have.
This program will build the fascial connection from the feet to the glutes and will result in positive adaptations in athletic ability, resiliency and overall function.
Stay tuned for updates on this article and more like it as I work to fully flush out and apply this concept for all of you Alliance Members.
