Back to Our Position of Comfort With X Things Gathered: Quadruped Creeping Artwork

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.

The intended use of this podcast is to establish ourselves as the one to 'checkmark' our intentions. I personally have that challenge. I never found an end to my goals, but yet I kept reaching and one day it was recognized and signed off by myself (36+ years after).

This step leads me to belief that we become aware of others (7 months) and we determine this because not by literature (well-established) but using logic of steps leading me to belief that only mommy matters in this world due to her power over the stamp of approval we seek.

Today's podcast explores the possibility of closing the 'loop' of our intended tasks. As a parent, my job becomes one of a facilitator in allowing the baby to close the loop, therefore leading to 'acceptance' and 'recognition' of x,y z things.
