Mastery of Five Movements: The Key to Athletic Success

Dan John is one of the most respected strength coaches in the United States and someone who I have turned to to develop my own coaching philosophy.

One thing I have borrowed from him are the five movement patterns every young athlete should master. This is something I have incorporated formerly in my training over the past two years and I have found great success focusing on these five movements.

The movements basically provide a strong functional base which every athlete needs in order to maximize their athletic ability. Below are the five movement patterns, a video on how to execute, and some useful coaching cues to help teach each movement.

Have your child perfect these movements and they will on the fast track for athletic success.
