Pose for all Athletes
October 7, 2016
In a previous blog, I introduced the Pose Method of Running. I want to make it clear that Pose isn’t limited to
just running. The same principles that are taught to runners with Pose can be applied to athletes of any sport once one has developed an understanding of the basic elements of the movements required by that sport. Then, drills and techniques can be utilized to help athletes transition from one position to another using nature’s forces and the perception of their body in space so as to ensure they are biomechanically efficient.
