Movement mastery
Andy is a believer in the importance of developing fundamental movement skills, as a basis for athleticism. All competitive sports involve repetitive movements, and an effective physical development model exposes athletes to global movement patterns that counterbalance that repetition. The acquisition of movement skills and progressions stimulates an athlete’s capacity for adaptability, a common denominator in all great athletes.
