Good Vs Best

Good Vs Best

Dr. Cobb discusses how environment effects behavior. When looking at good versus best, he starts with asking if his plans actually fit in with his lifestyle.

A great point is made when it comes to physical training. If we find this great baseball training program we want to implement, but we do not have the time available that a professional player does then that program is not going to work for us.

Instead we need to look for ways to squeeze in 30 seconds of training here, ten minutes of training there if that is what our lifestyle allows.

When our training is not congruent with our lifestyle we are setting ourselves up to fail.

Then he gets to the good vs best. There are lots of things we can do to produce a good effect on our lives. But rather than focusing on one or several of these, he encourages us to find the single best thing that will have the greatest positive impact towards our goals.

Running Workshop May 10th

How to be an EPIC runner!

Taiso Fitness Running Workshop, learn tips and tricks of the pros. Stop running with pain and learn recovery strategies that improve your time, and are easier on the body.

Each person is different, so the exact same training program will help some people and break others. If a coach does not know this, or know what to do about it, the results can range from unexcitingly mediocre to disastrous. On the other hand, when coaches and athletes fully understand this, becoming the athlete you have always known you could be is not only possible…it’s expected

What makes Taiso different from other training systems?

It’s simple. Taiso puts the athlete – and their nervous system – at the center of their training. When you understand modern neuroscience one thing becomes abundantly clear; lackluster performance is not a strength problem. Or a problem resolved through drills. Or resolved through better physical therapy, or stretching. It is not a mindset problem. Or a discipline problem. Or a motivation problem. All of these things are important, and all of them have their place. It is, fundamentally, a nervous system problem, and any deep, rapid performance improvement must begin there.

Three elements comprise Taiso Training:

• Efficient movement patterns. Movement is the fastest way to communicate with the nervous system. The movement tells your body where it is in space, how fast it is moving, and what movements are safe. By re-training and “waking up” these nerve endings, you can help your body get out of pain and perform at your true genetic potential.
• Sensory integration training. The nervous system needs accurate information from the visual, vestibular (balance and spatial orientation), and proprioceptive (brain’s 3D map of the body in space) systems, and their integration. Taiso optimizes all three systems for performance
• Addressing the whole person with continuous assessment. By applying the 9S Athletic Development Model to every client during every training session, you can be assured that you are getting EXACTLY what you need during that session. Only when joints, muscles, and other tissues are able to move in throughout full ranges of motion, pain-free, will the nervous system release the governor on your performance.  As you can see, at the center of our model is you – the athlete. Each […]

Quality over Quantity

We teach quality over quantity at Taiso. Easier said than done. Today, I was humbled trying to correct an ankle compensation so in the future I can run better, but for now that means limiting my running. This is especially challenging when I have a race next month and my ego says “run more,” but I know it’s important to fix the problem now then have a long term issue in the future. While this process can be slow and frustrating I am more determined than ever to fix my compensations so I can not only run but continually reach toward my best self. Being uncomfortable is sometimes the bravest thing you can do.
