69. (Part 4) Distance Series: WHY Mobility Matters with Neal Valera of Stick Mobility

Andrew Hannon and I sit down with Neal Valera, a San Jose-based health, strength, and mobility coach and the Co-Founder of Stick Mobility. Neal shares how their training sticks serve as a unique tool for athletes of all stripes to improve range of motion, muscle activation, coordination, and body awareness to build a strong foundation for better movement. It also allows athletes to gradually increase their strength in different positions, aiding in injury prevention and rehabilitation. The Mobility Stick is likewise a powerful tool that golfers can use to enhance performance through the improvement of their balance, grip, and strength. It helps in achieving a controlled range of motion that maximizes swing power, and in easing golfers into certain positions that they might initially find challenging. It also does wonders for joint mobility, making it easier for golfers to manage their wrist, elbow, and shoulder movements. In the latter half of our conversation, Neal and Andrew discuss the importance of strength and cardio training for those looking to up their golf game. They offer guidance around setting achievable weight loss goals, and debunks common misconceptions, especially among women, about weight training. About the Guest: Neal Valera has been coaching strength, mobility, and movement since 2007. His love for sports, martial arts, and outdoor activities have contributed to his lifelong interest in various movement disciplines. Having trained a wide range of body types and fitness levels, Neal believes the common denominator for health, longevity, and performance is improving movement quality.
