<p>You may recognize Phil Mansfield from his recent hit
appearance on the Legion Strength & Conditioning Podcast a few
episodes ago. Oh yeah, and he’s also Sara Sigmundsdottir’s coach.
This time, the gang is all here - as Phil and his partner in
RedPill Training James Jowsey (who coaches Samantha Briggs) join
Jon, Luke and I for another podcast extravaganza. Jowsey and
Phil’s expertise ranges from a detailed understanding of
biomechanics and how it integrates with sport, as well as a higher
order understanding of how to communicate with athletes and create
buy-in for a long-term plan of development.</p>

<p><b>Show Notes</b>
<ul>
<li>[0:31] Clarifying the mobility/stability continuum in
fitness athletes. “When we walk on ice, we have a smaller step than
we do when walking on a stable floor”</li>
<li>[16:46] After going through an assessment, how do you
work in corrective work for things that come up as a problem? And,
the difference between “can’t get into” vs “can’t get out of” range
of motion problems.</li>
<li>[26:11] How do you peel apart an assessment when someone
has a range of motion in an unloaded situation (like reaching
overhead with their arm) but struggles to achieve that position in
a loaded situation (like hanging from a pull-up
bar)?</li>
<li>[32:14] “The functional continuum” – how to
return to sport from an injury, correct dysfunctional movement
patterns, and move well under high metabolic fatigue</li>
<li>[39:31] How do you get buy-in from high-level athletes to
take steps backward and work on basics?</li>
<li>[48:31] “If you need someone to shout at you to do five
more reps, you’re not going anywhere anyway.”</li>
<li>[57:58] How do you structure an environment for
competition amongst competitors? And how much competition do you
encourage between athletes?</li>
