Happy Sunday!
Welcome to the mid point of the last month of the year.
I don’t know about you, but time seems to fly by at this time of year with plans for the holiday season that include multiple gatherings, either at home, work , with friends or if your lucky …all of the above. May your plans all go well, your travel be safe and best of health to you and yours.
Thanks for being a The Physical Movement subscriber and let’s dive in!
To launch the holiday season with a review of our most popular post of 2023. The readership stats tell us that edition #192 titled “Fundamentals Lost” got the most views.
I get asked a fair amount about where the ideas come from for topics week to week. 235 editions and counting, there never seems to be a shortage of what to address. The sources come from all over really. Social and mainstream media often provide triggers. Triggers to what I have witnessed and experienced as a youth player, coach, teacher and parent.
“Fundamentals Lost” was triggered by a quote from a major league baseball manager, speaking of lost fundamentals around base running. Across multiple sports, this observation applies.
In this edition from February, I mapped out 4 of the reasons why these fundamentals are lost and 4 ways to built them back up.
Enjoy!
