Is Everything We Know About Training Wrong?

We were all taught that muscles contract and relax. They get tight, they relax, they produce force. This is true but not the whole story. Strengthening the weak and stretching the tight is a valid approach but one simple question is often forgotten... WHY is a muscle tight? WHY is a muscle weak? A muscle gets tight or weak for a reason. Understanding the "WHY" can make a difference in a client's outcome.

Dean Somerset has created Post Rehab Essentials. I encourage you to check it out!

You can learn more about this new Certification here:

Youth Athlete Assessment Specialist Certification <-------- a="" become="" certified="" span="" style="background: white; color: #333333;" yaas="">

I asked IYCA Co-Owner Pat Rigsby to answer some of those questions below:

Question: What Is The Youth Athlete Assessment Specialist Certification?

Answer: This Credential is a product of years of innovation and current research. The Youth Athlete Assessment Specialist Certification combines:

·         The IYCA’s proprietary Big 5 Movement Assessment. This Assessment screens 5 different movement patterns that are commonly deficient in young athletes and allows you to score those patterns to better identify limitations and asymmetries to better allow you to program effectively.

·         Sport Specific Testing Batteries. 9 Individualized Sport-Specific Testing Batteries that will allow you to assess and evaluate performance over time.

·         Practical Application. The use of specific tools, actual case studies and real world application to better empower you to implement testing protocols and serial athletic assessment.

Question: Who Should Get Youth Athletic Assessment Specialist Certified?

Answer: Any Fitness Professional or Coach who is developing program for and / or training young athletes should be Youth Athletic Assessment Specialist Certified.

If you’re coaching or training young athletes that are experiencing any of these challenges, then the Youth Athletic Assessment Specialist Certification will better equip you to serve those athletes and help you keep them injury free and performing their best.

Question: How long will it take to complete the Certification?

Answer: Typically 2-3 weeks is average. If you have completed other assessment programs, you can likely complete the program more quickly. When you enroll, you will be given immediate access to your entire curriculum. You will also be given access to take your certification exam online.
