<b>Tom Waldron</b> really is a breath of fresh air!

This smart, fun and incredibly patient nice guy is super keen to share information, ideas and even a small part of his Biomechanics Coach™ Diploma theory assessment for you to see the kind of thing I read in these reports. This will also give those of you considering entering our academy an idea of what to expect.

Here are some of the Diploma report assessment criteria;

<b> 1 Produced a brief and succinct introduction to case studies (ie: age, ability level, sport)</b>

<b> 2 Give a brief account of all case studies in no more than 2000 words </b>

<b> 3 Describe the strengths of the screening process and where it worked really well</b>

<b> 4 Describe the areas for improvement of the screening process and what you found difficult</b>

<b> 5 Describe how case study findings have changed the way in which you practice </b>

<b> 6 Justified ALL actions taken with the clients in the case studies</b>

<b> 7 Summarise thoughts in a succinct manner</b>

<b>Tom wrote;</b>

<i>Undertaking the Biomechanics Coach™ qualification has already drastically changed my business model and career path (no exaggeration). I’ve already dropped 3 classes which I have been teaching for the past 2 years (fitness and pilates) to dedicate more time educating myself on intrinsic biomechanics and to fill those hours up with biomechanics 1:1 assessments.</i>

<i>It has been incredibly clear that this is a new and higher paradigm of exercise prescription. If we are exercising with dysfunction then we are training and strengthening that dysfunction, increasing our chance of injury. </i>

<i>If we are exercising while considering and eradicating dysfunction (through measuring and re-screening), then we are encouraging healthier and more liberated movement.</i>

<i>This is my ethos moving forward with clients, be it 1:1, group or workshops. Having a system in place (with 25yrs of evidence behind it) that measures a persons function has given me a great deal of clarity when approaching exercise prescription options for clients.</i>

<i>Having the harmony between fitness and health goals has been an invaluable perspective to take on board. I’ve also made stronger partnerships with physiotherapists and osteopaths. Having a deeper appreciation of their skills and expertise, while being able to communicate with them on a higher level than before.</i>

<i>We work together to deliver the best possible experience for our clients which has been incredible fun and I hope my partnership with other health professionals will continue to blossom and grow.</i>

<i>Over all I’ve decided to steer further away from group fitness classes, with the intention of getting the best result possible with clients, (incongruence with their goals and needs) spending more energy and time promoting 1:1 classes and programmes. </i>

<i>By fully optimising the intrinsic biomechanics screening system I know I am helping people to achieve their goals and improve their movement through Biomechanics Coaching™.</i>

THANK YOU for sharing Tom!
