One Thing I Completely Reject in Movement Training.

One thing I completely reject in movement training — and it's more common than most teachers want to admit.

Cookie-cutter programming. The same exercises, the same cues, the same progression — for every single client. And I get why it happens. It's efficient. It's familiar. It works well enough for enough people that it becomes the default. But here's the problem with "well enough" — it completely ignores the most important variable in the room. The nervous system. Every brain has its own sensory profile. The way one client processes visual information is different from the next. Their tolerance for vestibular challenge is different. The way they respond to unpredictability, to silence, to speed — all of it is different. And when you're running the same program for everyone, you're not actually teaching. You're hoping the program fits. For some clients it will. But for the ones it doesn't — they'll quietly struggle and assume something is wrong with them. Nothing is wrong with them. The program just isn't speaking their nervous system's language.

Every brain learns differently. Every nervous system deserves a program built around it. That's not a lofty ideal — it's a completely achievable standard once you understand how sensory input drives movement.
