Special Needs

April is Autism awareness month. Reliable, accurate, and useful information should be accessible to those faced with the diagnosis of a loved one and the inevitable challenges that will arise.

Whether you are training high school athletes, professional sports icons, or people with special needs, you're working with human movement and behavior..and there will always be underlying correlations.

It's often a challenge to train an unmotivated client or a client with special needs. However, if you can apply some basic behavioral fundamentals, you can be empowered to take control of your training sessions and help your client reach his/her goals.

It's an area that is in dire need of attention; however, basic programming knowledge will not suffice. If you want to help children with disabilities, specialized knowledge and insight must first be gained.

Getting kids to exercise is never the easiest of tasks, especially when working with those who need a little more attention. However, it's all about finding what brings them joy.

Rather than just being the guy called in to school when mom is angry, dads have a valuable roles and responsibilities. Involving and encouraging fathers to be directly involved is critical.

It has been nearly a year since I last had a bad day and I feel like a completely different person now.
