Book Reviews of Movement That Matters

Book Review: Mostly for trainers but good for the layman.
Summary: 5 Stars

Short and to the point this book teaches the reader to look at functional movements in a different way. By breaking movements down into primal patterns, or basic more generalized patterns of movement that our brain associates all movement with, we learn to more easily identify how to enhance our sporting ability by pinpointing the types of exercises needed for the specific sport we are conditioning for.

The book also looks at learning styles and how to best communicate with a student in order to maximize learning and elicit the quickest training response. For the layman this may help identify where your efforts to learn and excel will best be applies and which teaching style you should search for when seeking professional help.

Last but certainly not least the book discusses how to break down movements for more efficient learning, how much to train, when to rest, how to qualify one's self for a movement, how to identify the speed needed for sport adaptation to repetitions, and how to prepare your environment for optimal learning (helpful in all situations).
