Movement U – Preparing for Athletic Performance

On Saturday, October 24, a large contingent of Solis Athletes attended Jessi Stensland’s Movement U.  We all left in awe.  By Jessi’s own admissions the ideas and concepts taught are not earth shattering or ground breaking.  In fact they are in some ways minimalist, in that most can be performed without  the  use of equipment, or at minimum with simple implements.  In that we were taught how to go back in time, re-think and were provided the tools to re-train our bodies, to performance efficiently and injury free.

This was the first event of a group of about 8 sessions being conducted by Jessi, who had trained under the methodology of Athletes Performance.  Jessi’s individual resume is impressive independently, as she hold not only degrees in exercise science but is also a professional athlete.  We were incredibly impress with Jessi and her communication skills and ability to provide both encouragement and information to athletes regardless of their background and experience.

Each one of our athletes (my self included) left with an understanding and feeling of where we suffered from minor deficiencies and or imbalances, and took with us a wealth of easy to manage drills and strengthening exercises to integrate in our daily routine.  The greatest compliment I could give was that on the way home in speaking to a client who attend she said, “so were going to start this on Monday, right?”

To add to the event Jessi whose is from the Jersey area had here family there to help and all were wonderful and helped make the experience.  We cannot wait for the next addition of Movement U!
