DYNAMIC SHOULDERS
COACH EDUCATION COURSE
If you're a strength and conditioning coach or personal trainer looking to level up your knowledge and understanding of the shoulder, you're in the right place. ​
COURSE OVERVIEW
MODULE 1: The fundamentals of High Performing Shoulders
​Tim will present the current evidence around injury rates and look at the demands the modern strength and conditioning environment and coaching practices place on the shoulder.
​You'll also understand the philosophy and principles behind Dynamic Shoulders.​
​Case study - The CrossFit Open Workout 21.1
​
MODULE 2: The Kinematics of High Performing Shoulders
​You'll learn about how the static and dynamic stabilisation systems work together to facilitate such large range of motion at the shoulder.
​You'll also understand why the dynamic stabilisers are so important in laying the foundations for the expression of strength, speed and power through the upper limb.​
​Functional Anatomy - Static stability and the musculature affecting scapulothoracic motion.
MODULE 3: The Kinetics of High Performing Shoulders
​You'll learn the principles of the two primary force couples, enabling you to simplify the complexity of the shoulder and create targeted training interventions that improve performance.
​We'll look at the issues and potential contributors to sub-optimal movement of the shoulder.
​​Functional Anatomy - Force couples and the consequences of sub-optimal movement.
​
MODULE 4: Screening, Assessing + Analysing High Performing Shoulders
​This will be a blended practical and theory session designed to give coaches the tools to conduct movement assessments for the shoulder and improve their ability to identity sub-optimal patterns.
​Tim will also share eight sub-optimal movement archetypes that are commonly seen in shoulder movement assessments and provide an overview of the training strategies that might be required to correct them.
​​Case Study Analysis - real world shoulder screening examples.
MODULE 5: The Kinetic Chain + High Performing Shoulders
​You'll gain a greater understanding of the kinetic chain principles including the fascial system and breathing mechanics.
​Tim will also discuss motor behaviour and why you need to create a training environment for the shoulder that challenges movement options and appropriate loads.​​
​
MODULE 6: Principles for application: Dynamics
​You'll coaches will learn why the integration of range of motion, neuromuscular control and kinetic chain integration is so important in creating strong, stable foundations.
​
MODULE 7: Principles for application: Conditioning
​To build on the foundations created through the Dynamics phase, you need to apply progressive overload in a way that scales stability, strength, speed and power. In this module, we'll look at principles for application, scaling dynamic stability and the rate of force development.
​​​MODULE 8: Strategic Programming
​You'll understand the principles of programme development and exercise selection, as well as how to use the Dynamic Shoulder Conditioning Framework.
