You’ll discover how to connect tension, breathing, and awareness into a single framework that transforms the way you coach and train.
No fluff. No gimmicks. Just the principles that make movement make sense.

“Movement and positive stress can affect our mental and emotional states to a better and healthier life. This course has taught me how to approach the body as an ecosystem rather than fragmented parts, which is one of the most common themes of today's fitness industry. It's broken down to the point that non-personal trainers or coaches would even understand and put immediately into practice.”

“The Fundamentals of Coaching course was an excellent resource for strength and conditioning coaches looking to improve their skills. The course stressed the importance of building relationships with athletes and tailoring training programs to their specific needs, all while taking into account the intricacies of the nervous system.One particularly helpful aspect of the course was its emphasis on looking at movement through tension rather than position. This approach recognizes that movement is not simply a matter of achieving certain positions but rather involves a complex interplay between the nervous system, muscular tension and joint mobility. By understanding this relationship, coaches can develop more effective training programs that challenge the nervous system in a targeted way and lead to better results for their athletes. Overall, I highly recommend this course for any coach looking to deepen their knowledge of coaching techniques and improve their practice.”
