Scott Salwasser: Evolve or Get Left Behind

On this first edition of MTN Rewind we are featuring Dan Pfaff. Dan is a coaching legend, owning one of the most impressive resumes in all of sport. Dan breaks down how he decides when to change an athlete’s mechanics and when to leave them alone. He covers the technical model vs. self-organization debate, how he sets an acceptable bandwidth, his three checks for when to intervene, and why stride length asymmetry can be a warning sign. He also gets into how long a new movement pattern takes to stick, how to tell a cueing problem from a hardware problem, and his full approach to change of direction and curvilinear running.Find and follow us on social media @mtn_performEach Wednesday we will release a brand new MTN episode, and will follow that up on Saturday with an edition of 'Rewind'
