The "Coach's Eye"

MASTERING MOVEMENT ASSESSMENT

ELEVATE YOUR COACHING FROM GOOD TO GREAT

Your clients are in pain. But where is the movement deficit actually occurring?

We know the frustration: A client reports discomfort during exercises, or their performance has plateaued, but pinpointing the exact movement deficit feels like searching for a needle in a haystack.

Without the ability to accurately identify movement deficiencies, you're left guessing. And guesswork doesn't build client trust or deliver results.
