The Functional Path is a path that had been traveled many times before but had fallen out of use in favor of smoother paved roads that promised faster and easier results. Seeking to follow and better define the functional path is a continuing journey, fortunately it is a journey that many have traveled before. Functional Path training is getting back to the basics of movement. It is learning to tune into the body and it’s inherent wisdom to produce rhythmic flowing movement.
The mission of this program is to develop a cadre of experts to define the field of Athletic Development by educating professionals in foundational principles and methodology. Apprentorship = Apprenticeship + Mentorship, combines the features of both into a unique interactive blend of theory and practice in a five-day residential coaching school. This is an opportunity to observe, question, and explore the application of the Gambetta Method - Systematic Sport Development Model of training and injury rehabilitation.
Some wise words of wisdom and some real food for thought from Starbucks CEO Howard
Shultz: “Grow with
discipline. Balance intuition with rigor. Innovate around the
core. Don’t embrace status quo. Find new ways to see. Never
expect a silver bullet. Get your hands dirty. Listen with empathy
and overcommunicate with transparency. Tell your story, refusing to let
others define you. Use authentic experiences to inspire. Stick to
your values, they are your foundation. Hold people accountable but give
them the tools to succeed. Make the tough choices; it’s how you execute
that counts. Be decisive in times of crisis. Be nimble. Find
truth in trials and lessons in mistakes. Be responsible for what you see,
hear, and do. Believe.”
