Breaking Barriers
This podcast is intended for parents who have a dream of having your baby become an athlete one day. I'm here to justify the need to begin as early as 2 month old. Research is strong, supporting documentation tells us that we are late by intervention at age 4. There is strong overlap between professional athletes and developmental stages. For example, latest approach to working with athletes is to identify faulty movement patterns in correlation to developmental stages which can begin as early as 3 month old. I will cover the stages based on current literature that supports the need to set the environment for success. As a proud parent of an 8 year old, I can attest to this. Life is full of challenges; let's begin at birth. My background in the fitness and physical medicine have provided me with 18 years of data gathering as a personal trainer and a clinician. After graduating with a bachelors with emphasis on Exercise Physiology, I decided to further pursue higher education by striving to become a Doctor of Physical Therapy from the University of St. Augustine. Meanwhile, I also became an educator for the public school system. I had a change to teach science to 6th graders, and work as a substitute teacher. Coming from a family of educators, my passion lies in educating others about topics only covered at Universities and Institutions.
