If you're an elite soccer player, we have goals off season, but in the season, it's to support your body to win.

In that sports preparation training, I can be – think of it GPP plus looking at positions and how things transfer. Franz Bosch is a great example of that. sports preparation training. He's a Dutch thinker. His books are great. And you'll see, understand that really what we're trying to do in sports preparation is say, hey, what is this complex system in front of us?

What's the minimal amount of input so that we can still go and project ourselves into the world through sport and performance? And on the other side, suddenly we do come up confronted with, hey, I'm doing this thing and I jump in with my friend and I get brutalized. which is actually a problem that we have with people, really good fit athletes.

And I throw them into like a group fitness class and they can do so much work that they wreck themselves for weeks. And that's probably what happened. You're so strong and you know how to just be uncomfortable. And you just did this freakish amount of work without giving yourself a chance to adapt. And that happens all the time.

And I want to double click on that because that's really amazing. Because what you've done is said, hey, I can't control this aspect of my environment. I have to do some deep work. That means I might need to perch or I might have to sit at a conference table. And then what we can start to say is, well, what other choices do I have?

And now if we work with a typical person and you say you have some agency before you leave work and then your agency doesn't return until you get home, right? What are you going to do during the day To keep the body moving, right? So that it's easier to escape to your afternoon class. I think that's the thing.

How do I pepper the environment with inputs so that I'm not just in a tiny movement language? I love that. I want to go back to the sitting on the ground. Should it be painful? Should it be sore? One aspect of your physiology that will not change, doesn't have to change, is your range of motion. As you get older, we should be able to maintain our range of motion.
