122: Pat Davidson: “Movement Screens, Athlete Weak Points and Doing No Harm” | Sponsored by SimpliFaster

Today’s episode features trainer, educator and consultant, Dr. Pat Davidson, back for his second appearance on the show.   I had the good fortune of meeting Pat at his “Rethinking the Big Patterns” seminar August in San Francisco, and had an awesome time taking in Pat’s training philosophy in person with lots of good discussion and hands on demonstrations.  In the aftermath of the seminar, I wanted to record a show with Pat where we hone in on “doing no harm”, particularly in the sense of how we address weaknesses and tend to over-coach pretty much everything.   One thing I love about Pat’s work is that, not only is he brilliant, but also continually brings things back to what is practical in real life situations.  Pat isn’t afraid to defer to simple, bare bones training to give clients and athletes the best possible experience. For today’s show, we get into how to approach an athlete’s weaknesses without hurting their confidence and the overall training process, and how that filters into screens, warmups, and more.   Today’s episode is brought to you by SimpliFaster.com, supplier of high-end athletic development tools, such as the Freelap timing system, kBox, Sprint 1080, and more.   View more show notes at Just-fly-sports.com/podcast-122-pat-davidson
