Dynamic stability. Absolutely. And there's a ton of analogies I've heard over the years. I'm not a car expert like you, but one of the ones I've used a lot in my practice is for a while, I had this really old truck that we were working on and it was like a mid eighties Chevy kind of thing.

And when you turn the wheel from my hands are at, let's say nine and three, it wouldn't turn until my hands got to like 12. The steering on that thing was sluggish. So that dynamic stability, it wasn't very good. Whereas like an F1 car or go-kart, that thing moves with micro movement.

So if you translate that to the human body, anybody listening, if I said, hey, do a skater hop where you leap laterally from one side to the other, how you land, can you stick that landing or are you falling over as you go? And there's a million variables involved there, but the big ones, of course, are your rate of force. Can you absorb that?

And there's a million variables involved there, but the big ones, of course, are your rate of force. Can you absorb that?

Can all your tissues, the arch, the Achilles, the IT band, the hip, your core, can all those tissues kick on at the same time to create stiffness, number one? And a precursor to that is where's your balance? To generate that first force, were you organized or did you have to like throw your head and hands a weird way to generate the force, but now I'm not in an optimum landing position.

So what a lot of times you see in youth athletes is people rush to put strength on them, but a really good strength coach can put strength on a college athlete, you know, in eight weeks. But do they have speed? Do they have organized movement? Are they quick in all planes of motion? Is their balance really good? Because now my nervous system, my software is ready to absorb all these things.

And then you put strength on top of that. That's a great athlete. And a lot of these genetic people that are just naturally really good, they have some of that underlying ability to where they can land and organize well. And then later they put strength on.

Pick a sport and you can show me somebody who was really athletic and they weren't really big and strong, but you can put the strength on later. And that's one of my biggest personal passions is these 14 and 15 year olds who just get berated in the gym and then they tweak their back.

I had one local team where it was a golf team and about 30% of their athletes had a stress fracture in their lumbar spine. Oh my, what? Yeah, it was absurd. How is the strength coach not getting fired? So I reached out to the head coach and the strength coach and to give all these people a little bit of a pass, they're not really equipped because they're managing 200 kids.

I think it's just a bad setup. You have 200 athletes that you're supposedly managing a program for and you're not watching technique. Whether or not you know what you're talking about, it's a whole nother argument. But like the idea of, okay, we're going to do a high performance on a 14 year old and put strength on them, but no one's watching technique or teaching them the foundations of lifting.

While at the same time, they're 14, we should be making them quick, athletic, and coordinated first. Because that's a platform you want to build an athlete on. You don't want to make a kid really slow, but really strong when they're 15. It's really hard to train speed as you get older.
