Day 1 - How to assess with purpose 

Assessment & Corrective Systems

📌 Identifying and correcting dysfunctional movement patterns

This module provides sports physiotherapy-backed assessment protocols and corrective strategies to evaluate client movement dysfunctions and implement rehabilitation-based corrective training.

🔸 Key Learning Areas

1️⃣ Functional Movement Assessments

• Screening for movement dysfunctions using 7 essential movement screens developed by Rehab Trainer physiotherapists.

• Identifying the “7 Movement Sins” that lead to chronic pain and injury.

• Assessing posture, joint mobility, and muscle imbalances using clinically validated methods.

2️⃣ Corrective Strategies for Muscle Imbalances

• Lower Limb Dysfunctions: Addressing hip asymmetries, knee valgus, and ankle mobility restrictions.

• Upper Limb Dysfunctions: Improving shoulder stability, scapular control, and rotator cuff strength.

• Spinal Dysfunction & Core Instability: Correcting lumbar and thoracic mobility deficits using physiotherapy-based protocols.

Day 2 & 3 - How to move with purpose 

The Adaptive Functional Training Systems (Adaptive FTS) Model

🚀 The Core of the MFT Program

The Adaptive Functional Training Systems (Adaptive FTS) Model is the foundation of the MFT Virtual Program. It is a science-driven framework designed to enhance movement, build resilience, and develop high-performing clients.

The Adaptive FTS Model is structured around 5 Key Pillars:

🔹 Pillar 1: Restore Function & Movement

📌 The Foundation of Performance & Injury Prevention

• Movement Screening & Assessment Techniques – Identify movement dysfunctions before they cause injuries.

• Mobility & Stability Progressions – Develop joint integrity, neuromuscular control, and movement capacity.

• Soft Tissue & Fascial Release Methods – Restore optimal movement patterns using evidence-based techniques.

🔹 Pillar 2: Bodyweight & Primal Movement Patterns

📌 Master the Fundamentals of Natural Movement

• Progressions from Crawling to Complex Bodyweight Movements.

• Developing Stability & Coordination with Ground-Based Patterns.

• Suspension Training Applications for Strength & Mobility.

🔹 Pillar 3: Loaded Movement Training

📌 Enhance Strength & Resilience with Progressive Loading

• Fundamental Strength Patterns: Squat, Lunge, Hinge, Press, Rotation, Carry.

• Mastering Functional Bags, Kettlebells, and Battle Ropes for Power & Endurance.

• Advanced Load Variability Training to Improve Neuromuscular Adaptations.

🔹 Pillar 4: Strength & Power Application

📌 Maximize Athletic Performance & Movement Efficiency

• Advanced Strength Training Strategies for Power Development.

• Kettlebell Swing, Clean, Snatch & Press Mastery.

• Breathing Mechanics & Tension Techniques for Strength Optimization.

🔹 Pillar 5: Complex Movement Integration

📌 Combining Multi-Planar Movements for Real-World Strength

• Incorporating Battle Ropes, Kettlebells, and Functional Bags for Explosive Power.

• Velocity-Based Training & Unilateral Loading Techniques.

• Movement Complexity Progressions for High-Level Performance

Day 4 How to coach with purpose 

Module 1: Your Coaching Why – Theory and Science Behind Coaching 

This module delves into the foundational theories that inform effective coaching practices. Participants will explore the Self-Determination Theory, focusing on autonomy, purpose, and mastery, and learn how these concepts relate to client motivation. Understanding these theories provides a platform for purposeful coaching.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand and apply the Self-Determination Theory in coaching contexts.

• Explore the concept of "Flow" and its application in coaching to enhance client engagement.

• Reflect on personal coaching values and how they influence coaching practices.

Module 2: Language of Coaching – Powerful Ways to Communicate Effective communication is crucial in coaching. This module explores the technical elements of coaching communication, including cueing systems based on learning styles, verbal techniques, and the distinction between internal and external cueing. Participants will learn how to break down and coach movements using a structured coaching model.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn a system of cueing based on different learning styles.

• Incorporate effective verbal techniques and understand the difference between internal and external cueing.

• Learn how to break down and coach movement using the 'Coaching model'.

Module 3: Facilitating Feedback 

Feedback is a vital component of the coaching process. In this module, participants will explore methods to facilitate feedback before, during, and after sessions. The focus will be on the 'feedback loop' and a five-step communication process designed to enhance motivation and trust between coach and client.

Learning Objectives:

• Utilize a number of priming and feedback techniques.

• Learn the 'feedback loop' and how to apply a 5-step communication process.

• Practice providing feedback before, during, and after sessions to create client retention strategies based on trust and authenticity.
