Underpinnings was created to bring clarity to your journey and discuss the pertinence of the vast array of important, conceptual ideas that form an ecological dynamics framework for sport movement behavior.

Like a sporting environment, the movement skill acquisition world is a place inundated with a vast array of information. Movement practitioners of all kinds are bombarded with ideas, which range from those that are downright silly and gimmicky to those that are soaked with tradition and dogma and, finally, to those that can forever change your practice environment and lead to more positive transfer to the competitive sporting arena. Needless to say, it can be a really confusing space to sift through to determine what’s effective and warrants your further attention versus that which doesn’t hold its weight in either empirical or anecdotal evidence.

However, no matter what hat you wear in the athletic performance space, whether you’re a coach, a physical therapist, or another sports medicine professional; a strength & conditioning coach; a professor; or a scientist, it’s likely that you are hungry to get closer to the truth and motivated by the mission of helping to facilitate enhanced movement skill for athletes when and where it counts within their sport.
