Creating better movers (with Rene Wormhoudt)
Listen now
Description
Being a better mover solves a lot of problems: it makes it easier to pick up skills and adapt to new situations, which also helps reduce the risk of injury and increase the level of performance. Rather than focusing on your next injury prevention exercise, most athletes would be better off just becoming better overall movers. Dutch national football team coach René Wormhoudt joins this week's GAINcast to discuss his training approach which builds upon this philosophy for both youth athletes and the world's top athletes.
