·      Banking analogy. What if an investment banker told you that he would give you great returns for the next three years, but that you’d end up bankrupt after that? Most training models work the same way. Play the long game and invest in yourself.

·      The adventures of Timmy

·      Investing in loss and anorexic hermit crabs

9:30

Movement based training approach

·      Progressions and regressions – The Peter Principle: It’s about the pattern, not the complexity. Train at your level of competency.

·      The importance of movement patterns. Everything is training a pattern and associations. Quick practical on ingrained motor patterns. Demonstrate “Steer your car to the right” drill, “write your name in the air with two hands” and cartwheels. Motor patterns become implicit, are performed differently under implicit recall and often can only be performed well with explicit recall. They are also highly specific and subject to degradation under stress. Training is stress inoculation of motor patterns.

·      Motor learning based approach – levels of complexity – refer back to long term approach

Break

o   High omega 3, low omega 6 (refined seed oils, inflammatory processes)
