if you're watching this video right now I know you understand just how crucial it is to correct your movement patterns when it comes to preventing and healing from nagging aches and injuries that are holding you back from expressing your true athletic potential the thing is is that a lot of you I'm sure have tried to improve your movement and it just hasn't worked whether you've tried to do physical therapy you've done the online programs that have promised to make you a better mover or you've worked with your typical personal trainer down the road whatever it
is you've tried and unfortunately You' failed but I will say it's not completely your fault it's just that these methods that you've tried have missed a huge component of enhancing movement of rewiring movement that is absolutely necessary for making longlasting changes wired into your subconscious so in this video I'm going to show you exactly why those things have failed you and what you need to do in three simple steps to actually make these lasting changes and thus get rid of any pain and injuries for good and maximize your true athletic ability first I I want
to show you this cozy gym in an apartment that I'm staying in for the month in Tulum I just had this client Retreat it was dope I'll maybe make another video on that but yeah we got everything in here we got a little pull-up bar we got some TRX cables got a little bench here was sitting on a bench right there as well got some Pio boxes over there and got this uh tree growing out of the ground here got got a couple of those boys couple more those boys over there too little yoga ball
um got some dumbbells over there uh Rusty little barbell that does the trick every time uh yeah it's a it's a dope spot got some mirrors over here too it's a real dope spot real dope spot but anyways the reason why your efforts to improve your movement have not worked is because all these things that you do have only addressed the phys physical you try to activate certain muscles you try to get into certain positions you try to really manipulate the physical aspect of things but you miss the internal state of your body if I'm
doing for instance a simple exercise like this lunge and I'm trying to correct my movement I'm trying to get a nice foot to core connection going connecting all of that fascia those lines of tissue from my foot to my glute to my pelvic floor and core I'm trying to connect all of that if I simply try to think and activate muscles to get there I'm going to miss out on the internal aspect of that the mental and emotional aspect of that because if I'm here in this lunge and I'm really riled up I'm gritting my
teeth and I'm super uh just uh just basically in this sympathetic State this red up nervous system State my subconscious is not going to be comfortable enough to actually accept these changes and so when it comes to actually rewiring our Movement we need to make sure that we are getting into a calm State we're bringing our body to a place our body and our mind to a place of ease and relaxation and of course you're going to be entering these new patterns that maybe your body has never felt before loading lines of tissue that your
body and your mind didn't even know existed so it is going to be a challenge for sure and I'm going to tell you uh in the rest of this video how exactly to cope with that but you just have to know that even through the challenge you need to be able to keep your body at ease keep your internal State at a place of relaxation because ultimately when we're rehabbing and teaching our body to move in these new more efficient patterns we need to teach ourselves to be safe we need to teach our subconscious to
be safe and again if you're gritting your teeth and you're trying really hard and you're squeezing and you're just really ramped up your nervous system is in this elevated sympathetic State and your breathing is fast and uncontrolled then you're not going to be comfortable sure you may activate some muscles you may load up some new areas of your body but when it comes to your sport or the other activities that you want to do your body is just not going to hold on to those new ways of moving because you never really taught yourself to
feel safe and so I'm going to share with you now three key steps that I take not only myself but with all of my clients to get them to this place of actually wiring in real lasting changes to their movement so the first thing is that you need to be able to build Focus first I think that this word requires a definition because sometimes we just say words and we don't really think about what they truly mean and here comes the rain hopefully you guys will still be able to hear me well um so Focus
I like to think about it like this pull yourself away from your body and your mind bring some space create some space in between you and your body and your mind an easy way to do this is to pay attention to your thoughts pay attention to your body feel your body bring yourself inside of it and then realize that there is something that is being aware of these things that is separate from those things separate from your mind and separate from your body there is something that is observing that okay so when you are able
to channel that Observer channel that awareness of that Observer which is you at your core you channel that into any particular area whether it be out side of your body it be inside of your body inside of your head with your thoughts whatever that is that you focus it on that you Channel it towards that is Focus right there that channeling of that awareness that is focus and so we need to learn how to build that Focus that is the very first step really hope you guys could hear me through this rain cuz I'm already
good amount through this video but anyways we need to learn how to channel that Focus because the if we can't focus on something then we're not going to be able to you know what let me just start this video over inside all right we're back to it in a dry spot inside the apartment again guys Step One is building your focus again why is this important focus is the ability to control where your awareness goes because a lot of the times what happens is we'll be aware of one thing and then another thing moves in
the corner of the room and then we're aware of that and then we have a thought that circulates in our head about what we need to do in the next hour or what happened two hours ago and our awareness will shift to those things and so focus is the ability to control you have complete control over where your awareness is and so you dictate where that goes and so again you're not one second aware of one thing and then something happens outside of yourself and you react to that by switching your awareness to that thing
that happened or even inside of your body again you're not going to just because you have a thought about 2 hours ago 3 hours ago something that happened you're not going to switch your focus to that just because it's there you focus on what you desire to focus on and that is what mastering focus is about so that's what I mean when I talk about building that level of focus so that is the very first step if you don't have the ability to control where your awareness goes then you just don't your everything else isn't
going to make sense you're not going to be able to become a better mover you're not going to be able to continue on with this process so what I like to do in terms of building my focus is I will actually do a breathing meditation so I will focus on my nostrils and as weird as it sounds if you haven't meditated before I will literally just focus on the inflow and outflow of my breath through the perspective of my my nostrils so I will literally come into my nostrils I will sit here this chair is
a little bit lean back but I'll typically sit in a cross-legged position I'll sit up straight good posture and I'll just relax my body close my eyes and then I'm literally just directing my focus to my nostrils tips of my nostrils and feeling that inflow and outflow of air now what happens as you do a practice like this is that you'll find your awareness will start to wander from your nose to maybe a little bit of discomfort in your back or maybe it'll Wander from your nose to some thought that's circulating in your head and
then you'll notice your thought goes one after the other you were thinking of what kind of business move to make and then next second you're thinking about how your girlfriend might cheat on you and you just go circular and circular Until you realize oh [ __ ] no I'm supposed to be thinking about my breath and so you bring yourself back to the breath that's meditation it's finding that your awareness is drifting and bringing it back to the task at hand that is how you practice your focus and it doesn't have to be your breathing
maybe some of you have a meditation practice already and it's going to be some form of this it's going to be some form of locking your attention on one thing whether some people will I've heard of meditations where you just stare at one thing whether it be a candle flame or a particular dot on a wall you're just locking in on that focusing on that with your entire being with your entire awareness and just really making sure that whenever you just drift off and be aware of something else you just bring it back every time
you do that you build your focus muscle this is something they don't talk about when it comes to improving your movement and when it comes to really any goal I don't want to go on too big of a tangent but any goal you need to have this Focus because this is just a microcosm this this practice that I'm telling you about is a microcosm of the macro of your life if you're on a specific trajectory you're on a specific path and you see something that diverts you from that path it's then your choice your decision
to either stay locked in on that same path Focus or you get distracted and you go somewhere else you take that right turn you take that left turn you go backwards you need to be able to build this Focus muscle not just to become a better mover but also to just become better at life cuz if you're here I'm sure you want to be successful not just in regards to training and athleticism but also in the grand scheme of life so building your focus muscle is absolutely critical I can't stress this enough this has literally
been the key in me changing my life transforming myself from this shy quiet boy who only cared about sports and maybe getting good grades to please his mom to building this business that now impacts hundreds of people I mean hundreds of thousands if you consider my audience across social media platforms so anyways guys focus is huge so that brings us to the Second Step which is now learning how to channel that Focus to the right things so let's say I'm doing a simple single like stand uh exercise that I have a lot of my clients
do I mean might as well just show you guys so I'll have them come on one leg and got to back up pretty far here to show you guys but I have them focus on one leg stand on one leg with the heel raised so what I want want them to focus on a lot of times is going to vary from client to client but when you find this level of focus within you whether you're focusing on one point at the center of your body whether you're just focusing on how your foot is contacting the
ground or maybe you're focusing your Gaze on one point right in front of you whatever it is for you which again I think should be personalized that's where I come in as a coach because I see where somebody is at what somebody's uh you know what they tend to do better with and I'm able to then be like okay then that means you should focus on X or Y or Z so that's where I come in but anyways you basically want to find that for yourself whether you work with me or not and you want
to be able to lock in on that thing that's going to allow you to stay here and just just be Zen and comfortable and of course I'll have people hold this for 2 minutes at a time it's going to burn and it's going to hurt and maybe you'll be uncomfortable in different areas of your body but you just still stay locked in on that same thing whatever it is that point of focus you just stay laser locked in on that thing so that's how uh you Channel your focus that's what I mean when it comes
to channeling your focus and and then the third part of this guys is where all the magic really happens I mean all of these steps are magical but this is where you put everything together and so basically now you after building this level of focus you rewire your Movement by really focusing on all these different aspects of yourself so you focus on the internal and the external to make those real changes now you want to progress the training that you do in terms of the complexity the difficulty so let's say I go from that single
leg stand to now I have a ball over my head I have a med ball over my head and I'm like I'm still in that single leg stand now the challenge is as there's more complexity as there's more things going on can I still maintain my focus that is the challenge that is the practice and if you can do that and you are real with yourself you're you're true and and honest with yourself about your ability to really maintain that Focus through these different progressions as the difficulty the complexity starts to stack up if you
do that and you have that clear progression upwards towards more difficult more athletically inclined movements more Sports specific movements then you're going to be a beast because imagine if you can have that level of total body awareness and control and you fill all those gaps in your chain so that you are one truly connected unit that moves fluidly and effortlessly now if you add athletic qualities on top of that like strength power speed Etc nobody's going to be able to stop you number one and number two you're not going to be able to stop yourself
because your body isn't going to get in the way you're not going to be limited by these issues that is what happens when you truly scale this up and that might sound a little bit complicated the way that I put it but really it's just a simple matter of number one one being able to uh or learning how to build your focus number two channeling that Focus to specific areas of your body or specific Sensations like for instance sometimes when I have clients running I'll have them focus on specific aspects of their breathing like for
instance feeling the expansion around 360° of their torso the expansion and contraction with the they're breathing sounds very simple I know but it tends to change their running mechanics completely and the thing is is that when you incorporate that awareness aspect that Observer and you focus on your breathing which in my opinion is kind of like the channel between the Observer that's kind of this ethereal energy and presence uh outside but inside of you uh it connects that and your physical body and when you can operate you can train or approach training through all those
three aspects the essence of yourself the breath and the physical body that is what's going to lead to these crazy results and Quantum leaps in your athletic ability and progress in training all right guys now that was obviously a very quick overview but if you want more detail on those three simple steps and you actually want me to take you through them live so that you can become more confident in your movement you can feel like it's more effortless and graceful without any pains or injuries popping up and you can also tap into your true
