Not all movement problems are physical. Great coaches must be able to dig deeper.
In this episode of the “Strength Coach Collective” podcast, host Kenny Markwardt talks with Richard Aceves, founder of Moved Academy, about the mental, emotional and spiritual components of training and their impact on physical performance and pain.
Richard explains why clients’ physical limitations can be rooted in mental and emotional stress and how coaches can create lasting change by understanding movement as a reflection of the whole person.
Richard also shares practical ways to alleviate tension and help clients build resilience and overcome limiting beliefs through movement.
Tune in to learn how to uncover what’s really holding your clients back—and what to do about it.
