Get ready for an episode that's been over a decade in the making. This week, we're diving deep into the world of fitness coaching, nutrition, and the mind-body-spirit connection. I've been following our special guest for over 10 years, and his insights are mind-blowing. But before we get into it, let me share a bit of my own journey. I used to have a job in a physical therapy company, working on the fitness component. One day, the owner handed me a book called "Movement," and he said, "If you can understand this book, you'll know as much as I do." Little did I know, this book would lead me to today's guest. Our guest, Greg Cook, is a physical therapist, a strength coach, and the inventor of the Functional Movement Screen. That book, "Movement," was a game-changer, and it laid the foundation for what we're about to uncover. In this episode, we'll explore how your mind plays a crucial role in your physical wellbeing. We'll talk about patterns, adaptation, and how understanding your body can lead to a healthier you. Greg's work has impacted people worldwide, transcending language barriers. And now, with an accessible online course, he's simplifying complex concepts for coaches and individuals alike. But here's the kicker: It's not just about the physical. We'll discuss how your body's movements are connected to your overall health, and how making the right changes can transform your life. So, join us for an enlightening conversation with Greg Cook. We'll help you uncover the hidden patterns in your body and set you on the path to a healthier, more vibrant you.

Ax throwing. Log balancing. Carrying kettlebells through the forest. Standup paddling. Visitors to Gray Cook's lake cabin invariably do some activities that might seem unconventional at first but actually train every major movement pattern and then some. Gray applies a similar real-world lens to the movement and function assessments that he co-created for athletes, including the Functional Movement Screen (FMS), Functional Capacity Screen (FCS) and Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA). When Basketball Strong co-host Tim DiFrancesco was the S&C coach for the Lakers, he used these screens to identify the gaps in their movement literacy so that he could make them more durable on the court. Gray's practices are used across the NBA and in many college and high school programs, and his movement philosophies and practices offer coaches, parents, and players at every level the chance to reduce the risk of injury, increase strength, power, balance, and speed, and play the game better for longer. In this episode, Gray shares: What movement patterns and exercises are best suited to basketball players and other tall athletesHow to improve balance, squatting, rotation, jumping, and more What S+C coaches, PTs, ATs and other professionals can do to help players with ACL injuries avoid getting hurt againWhat “functional” training does and doesn't meanWhich physical qualities should be developed to make basketball players more durable and how the FMS can help identify weaknesses that can be turned into strengthsHow John Wooden ensured his UCLA teams were fresher than their opponents in the fourth quarterClick here to read Gray's books and articles, find seminars and other resources on the Functional Movement website, and keep an eye out for Gray's new book, The Business of Movement.

Living in 2022 is great: we can have almost anything we want delivered to us by simply swiping our phones; however is this much automation a good thing? As humans we were all born knowing how to move, but modern society has evolved to a point where movement is not necessary, the result is that many of us are simply moving less. When we move less, we lose our ability to move well which could result in an injury when we exercise. Gray Cook is a physical therapist and strength coach who has helped many elite athletes to dominate their sport. Years ago, Gray identified the lack of coordinated movement as primary reason why many athletes fail to achieve success or become injured; as a result, he and his colleague, Dr. Lee Burton developed the Functional Movement Screen as a system for classifying movement ability. Gray talks about the Functional Movement Screen and how it can be used to identify potential muscle imbalances that could become an injury. Originally. recorded in the fall of 2017, learn all about the role of functional movement in your strength training program on this episode of All About Fitness.

His work and ideas are at the forefront of fitness, conditioning, injury prevention, and rehabilitation. You'll find him lecturing on these topics several weekends each month, worldwide.

Gray's work cuts to the core of problems like low back pain, obesity, and the general physical decline of modern culture. By revisiting the natural developmental principals that all infants employ as they learn to walk, run and climb, Gray forces us the rethink motor learning, corrective exercise, and modern conditioning practices.

Do you think you have stiff ankles? Chances are, you just lack mobility.   In this episode of the Align Podcast, Gray Cook and I chat about the fundamentals of movement and how our current culture is out of touch with them. In Gray's experience, a simple practice of self-awareness can help us identify a lot of our movement patterns that are broken and allow us to bring it back to their performing state.   We also talk about how we can integrate the basic fundamentals of movement in today's sedentary modern world where sofas, desks, and cars all have an impact on our mobility.   Gray Cook is a physical therapist, orthopedic certified specialist, and certified strength and conditioning coach. His developments in movement pattern screening and assessment are at the forefront of fitness, physical conditioning, injury prevention, and physical rehabilitation.      What we discuss:    02:36: What are some of the low-hanging fruit in terms of mobility in today's world? 05:45:Which movement fundamentals should be thought in our education system? 10:52: What are Gray's observations on physical independence? 27:22: Have we really conquered nature? 31:02: How do we integrate modern life into the natural and seamless self? 34:48: Can we seamlessly integrate more than one movement practice into our daily lives? 42:30: What does it mean to walk “well”? 51:13: How has Gray's perspective on breathe shift over the years? 01:11:59: How can we get to a point where we're effortlessly inhabiting our physical body?      Learn More from Gray Cook:   Website:  www.functionalmovement.com Podcast: www.movementpod.com Book: The Business of Movement      Related links:   The revised version of the Align Method book is now available with 22 brand-new exercises!

For the last 15 years The Strength Coach Podcast has been the #1 podcast for personal trainers to learn from the best coaches in the world. It comes with my highest recommendation. They have incredible guests on the show including Gray Cook, Dan John, Martin Rooney, Charlie Weingroff and the legendary coach Boyle…himself who is on every episode. I'm excited to announce that I have my own segment on this podcast titled Business Secrets for Gym Owners.
