The Six Fundamental Movement Patterns
If you aren’t training all six Foundational Movement Patterns, you are leaving results and health to chance.
While there are no perfect one-size-fits-all exercises that will produce results for everyone, there are absolutely perfect variations of Foundational Movement Patterns that can be custom fit to an individual. The future of intelligent, PAIN-FREE Performance Training is individualization of movement pattern variations that allow maximal trainability, while minimizing unwanted joint stress in the process.
If you plan on training for a lifetime and building longevity into your physical practices, forget about blindly training specific exercises and instead, train custom fit movement pattern variations. There are six Foundational Movement Patterns that are as close to mandatory movements as it gets.
- Squat
- Deadlift (hip hinge)
- Single leg
- Push
- Pull
- Carry

How to Choose the Right Private Coach for Your Youth Athlete
With the rising popularity of private sector training, there are more training options than ever before, and the decision to hire a coach is not to be taken lightly.
To the parents of youth athletes 9-18, this is the age where we believe strength and conditioning can have its biggest impact, not only on athletic performance, but for life as well.
The training industry is pretty unregulated. There is a low barrier of entry. There are no true guidelines on what is good, bad, right or wrong. It makes hiring or researching potential coaches just a little bit more of a challenge. Our goal is to help you, the parent, find your son or daughter the best fit for them.
Here are some Do’s and Don’ts:
Do’s
Ask for referrals
About 90 percent of our business has come from direct referrals from clients. Asking other families, teammates and friends for referrals gives you a way to make an easy connection with a professional based on the feedback from people you trust. It will save you a lot of time and stress if you can get an organic connection to someone in the industry.
Have a budget in mind
Private training is a luxury and will be expensive. It’s a blessing to be in a position to afford extracurricular things that can help your child develop. One of the most important things you can do as a parent looking to hire a trainer is to keep a budget in mind.
Inquire about their experience
Some great questions to ask would be:
- Tell me about your background.
- How did you get started in the industry?
- What experience have you had working with _______?
- What are your degrees, qualifications, licenses and certifications?
- What are some things you think my child needs to work on?
Everyone can have an elevator pitch, but how much a coach can really connect with a child is much more important.
Dont’s
Don’t make a decision based on social media following
Social media following, popularity or clout DOES NOT equate to competence.
Followers can be purchased. Reviews can be fabricated. Reality can be skewed. Social media is a great research tool, but info must be taken with a grain of salt due to how misleading some things can be online versus reality. Never let your face-to-face interactions be outweighed by anything you see online.
How they train over who they train
If there is anything you take away from this, this is the one. Many parents assume that because a trainer works with high-profile athletes they will be a great fit for their kids as well. As a parent you need to look at where your child is currently and take the slow and steady approach to athletic development. Any great coach will tell you the same thing.
Don’t rush into a decision
Especially at a young age, a lot of habits will be created in the weight room—both in mindset and movement. My recommendation is to find the perfect hire so that those habits formed early on don’t have to be broken and reformed later by someone else.
Our relationships go way beyond touchdowns, dunks, sets and reps. It’s about the human, not just the athlete.
