  1. 🧠 𝐏𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐂𝐄 𝐌𝐀𝐊𝐄𝐒 𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐄𝐍𝐓 ⁣ Any athlete who has trained with me knows that I am a little fanatical about using proper technique/mechanics on our exercises…even the boring and seemingly less important warmup ones. ⁣ ⁣ As a young athlete myself I always subscribed to the notion that “practice makes perfect.” I worked extremely hard and always “got my reps in” whether I wanted to or not and even if I just banged them out mindlessly to make sure I ticked that “hard work” box ✅⁣ ⁣ When I began to study motor learning & Neurocognitive development I quickly learned that practice does NOT actually make perfect but practice does makes permanent. ⁣ ⁣ Keyboard warriors can go ahead and argue about the exact number of reps 🤦🏻‍♂️ but please focus on the concept here…⁣ ⁣ In his studies on motor pattern development and disruption, motor learning expert Richard Schmidt observed that the acquisition of a new motor pattern in a closed-motor skill generally required between 300-500 repetitions to induce neuro-plastic changes in the brain. ⁣ ⁣ Conversely, correcting a faulty movement pattern that has become ingrained can require between 3,000-5,000 reps to change!!⁣ ⁣ Coaching new athletes (and particularly young athletes) is an upfront investment of time with a big potential long term payoff… if you do it right. ⁣ ⁣ As a coach you should want your athletes to do it right for their sake…but if that’s not motivation enough for you then at least do it selfishly so that it doesn’t take you 10x as long to change those bad habits once that pattern is ingrained. ⁣ If it is worth doing, it is worth doing well! ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ 𝐀.𝐁.𝐂. - 𝐀𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐁𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 👊🏻

  2. 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐎𝐒 𝐈𝐒 𝐅𝐔𝐍! ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ So much of what we do in the weight room is controlled, linear/uniplanar…and for good reason! It allows us to apply a greater and more controlled stimulus to the muscle and keeps us safe when handling heavy loads…but that in and of itself is not enough to prepare elite team-sport athletes. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Dancing through ladders and touching stationary pylons can definitely have a place in training as a reliable warmup tool, a rehab/prehab progression step or as basic general conditioning but REAL agility for sport requires;⁣⁣ reaction, mobility, balance, coordination, adaptability, visual tracking, spatial and body awareness ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ This is a little glimpse into one of the ways that we develop these qualities away from the actual sport itself. Like all of our training we will gradually progress this work to add more movement, greater speeds and greater challenges to overcome as we move along through the off season. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ This is also a great opportunity to highlight the work of my great friend and colleague Andre Talbot from @spiritloft a true movement guru! 23 years ago we were bitter rivals on the football field (well, actually I was the only one who was bitter as I spent most of the game chasing him around unsuccessfully)…then I had the honour of coaching him during his successful CFL career…then he became a full time coach here in our program until he found his true calling and opened up his amazing facility @spiritloft. Now he is a trusted resource and it fills me with joy to be able to collaborate together and provide these athletes with cool movement learning opportunities like this! ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Moving and adapting through chaos and finding a way to have fun while you’re working through it… good for sports and for life!

  3. The last few hours have been a whirlwind of emotions 🎢 Didn't get a chance to say proper goodbyes to my KC peeps 🥲 already packed, left our apartment behind and landed in NYC 🌪 Thank you to our Kansas City family for such a warm welcome over the past 7 years. It will be the friends, the new friends, the Chiefs women, the family, the gatherings that will stay with me. I am beyond grateful to have experienced it all. Because there are no challenges too great for this human I share my life with. No half measures. Let's go all the way to the end - why not 🛫 So much admiration for your strength, resilience and determination @laurentduvernaytardif 💚 I'm so happy for you. 〰️ La fin d’un chapitre; le début d’un autre ❤️ Merci à notre Kansas City family pour l’accueil si chaleureux au cours des 7 dernières années. Ce seront les amis, les nouveaux amis, toutes les Chiefs Women, la famille, les rencontres, les fêtes qui resteront avec moi. Je ne finirai jamais d’être reconnaissante (et d’en revenir d’avoir vécu tout ça 🙃). Parce qu’il n’y a pas de trop grands défis pour cet humain avec qui je partage ma vie. Pas de demi-mesures. Allons-y à fond jusqu’à la fin - why not 🛫 Tellement d’admiration pour ta force, ta résilience et ta détermination @laurentduvernaytardif 💚 Je suis tellement heureuse pour toi. J’aurais pu mettre 50 photos dans cet album! Ce qui manque : toutes les O-Line Gals que j’ai eu la chance et le privilège de côtoyer au fil des saisons, toutes les victoires, toutes les défaites aussi, le Super Bowl 2020 (what!), toutes les heures de Facetime, toutes les heuresssss de voyagement entre Montréal et Kansas City 🪦, le stress des blessures, mes p’tits coins bureau dans nos différents appartements pour créer un semblant de stabilité, nos soupers DIY pizza pré-match, les dégustations de BBQ, nos tailgates improvisés, les Noël en famille à KC, les promenades en trottinette, le mac n cheese du Gram & Dun, la chaleur du Midwest, l’amour.
