Sample Day #8 Small Group Lesson
Welcome to Youth Movement Small Group Sessions
Who are we: A-Gear and Morland STRENGTH started the Gibbons STRENGTH and Conditioning program at Cardinal Gibbons High School in Raleigh, NC and have seen the need to extent the methodology into other schools including middle schools. We are educators, motivators, and movements specialists forming life and movement skills through charter development, hard work, service, and planned methodology.
Our coaches are certified and educated, but even more importantly experienced in the realm of strength and conditioning coaching progressions with high school youth and done summers youth movement camps for the last 4 years.
Our goal: help teach the foundation athletic movement skills and life skills by focusing on a strong body awareness and physical literacy. After creating a proper foundation, we seek to educate coaches and youth in how to employ correct mechanics to develop the ability to create athletic movement, thus creating more durable body for high forces so that it can endure performance at competition level.
Our commitment: to implement a planned coaching to help you develop the 5 main human movements:
- Carry; how to load and stay stable
- Squat; how to go low and rise back up again
- Hinge; how to bend without breaking
- Push; separation from environment
- Pull; return to environment
We will coach these movements by starting with our basic movement: HOW TO CRAWL LIKE A LEOPARD; as a result, we will use crawling as our assessment then coach. We have found this primitive movement leads to twice the progress in core endurance in a short amount of time (about one month). Following the crawl, we have used the video squat assessment to show how stability and mobility work together. In our assessment, we will do a preliminary video on both of these exercises and show the progress after just a few skill sessions.
Our expectations: Full attention, willing attitude, and hard work ethic. A-Gear & MS have invested years developing these progressions, so we can coach it to you in matter of days and weeks
