And even if you do it well, it still purports to work.

So at some point, we've got to just have some fundamental movement language where maybe it's jumping, jumping, pause.

#111 The Optimal Mobility Protocol for a Durable Body | Dr. Kelly Starrett
And we can, hey, push that knee out, get that foot straighter.
FoundMyFitness
#111 The Optimal Mobility Protocol for a Durable Body | Dr. Kelly Starrett
Can you take a breath there?
FoundMyFitness
#111 The Optimal Mobility Protocol for a Durable Body | Dr. Kelly Starrett
And then can we constrain?
FoundMyFitness
#111 The Optimal Mobility Protocol for a Durable Body | Dr. Kelly Starrett
I would submit that if you and I played spike ball, we would touch a thousand shapes and positions that we could not get in a formal movement practice.
FoundMyFitness
#111 The Optimal Mobility Protocol for a Durable Body | Dr. Kelly Starrett
So more of that, and then it becomes a little bit more formal as we start to get into high school, I think.
FoundMyFitness
#111 The Optimal Mobility Protocol for a Durable Body | Dr. Kelly Starrett
Like dramatically.
FoundMyFitness
#111 The Optimal Mobility Protocol for a Durable Body | Dr. Kelly Starrett
And so that's a thing that we're like, well, who owns that problem?
FoundMyFitness
#111 The Optimal Mobility Protocol for a Durable Body | Dr. Kelly Starrett
Well, maybe the parent at home.
FoundMyFitness
#111 The Optimal Mobility Protocol for a Durable Body | Dr. Kelly Starrett
And we have to have coaches who are like insisting on this work because, you know, they're like, hey, I want to coach.
FoundMyFitness
#111 The Optimal Mobility Protocol for a Durable Body | Dr. Kelly Starrett
Right.
FoundMyFitness
#111 The Optimal Mobility Protocol for a Durable Body | Dr. Kelly Starrett
But meanwhile, we have kids who are unprepared to be coached.
FoundMyFitness
#111 The Optimal Mobility Protocol for a Durable Body | Dr. Kelly Starrett
In 10 minutes, I would say, you guys need to play a game.
FoundMyFitness
#111 The Optimal Mobility Protocol for a Durable Body | Dr. Kelly Starrett
So what games are available?
FoundMyFitness

One of the things we identified with Caroline as a goalie early on, and even in water polo, and this came from their coaches, they said, hey, if you're really interested in your daughters being good at water polo, then you need to do more long toss.
FoundMyFitness
#111 The Optimal Mobility Protocol for a Durable Body | Dr. Kelly Starrett
We need to throw a ball.
FoundMyFitness
#111 The Optimal Mobility Protocol for a Durable Body | Dr. Kelly Starrett
So we went out and we started throwing a baseball, throwing a softball with a mitt, smaller than a water polo ball.
FoundMyFitness
#111 The Optimal Mobility Protocol for a Durable Body | Dr. Kelly Starrett
And we do so much throwing.
FoundMyFitness
#111 The Optimal Mobility Protocol for a Durable Body | Dr. Kelly Starrett
And even today, I see women in the pool who cannot throw.
