Why You May Not Be Overpronating

by

Dooley Noted: 7/21/2015   Due to the fact I have a bit of pes planus, or flat feet, my entire life people have been telling me that I over-pronate my feet.   Since I know a lot more about pronation these days, I can tell you that nothing could be farther from the truth.   Yesterday, I found myself wearing a pair of cute little flat shoes. Feeling my wide foot crushed by the shoe’s … Read more

The Waterfalls

by

Dooley Noted: 7/20/2015 This morning, I walked over to my hotel window. I watched as Niagara Falls sprayed its mist and crashed its waters 30 stories below me. I was overcome with gratitude for some of my life’s current choices. I had just completed an amazing weekend, introducing our anatomy course in Canada. We had formed a seminar on our own terms, and we worked night and day to make sure that it was good … Read more

What I Learned While Teaching 

by

Dooley Noted: 7/19/2015 This weekend, I had the honor of helping teach Immaculate Dissection I: Core Concepts for the first time ever in Canada.  As we discussed the anatomy of the core muscles, I found myself answering thought-provoking questions from trainers, yoga instructors, and manual therapists.  As we performed challenging palpations, I found myself learning more and more connections.  That’s the secret about teaching.  When you’re responsible to help others, your own understanding is solidified.  … Read more

Slow Progress

by

Dooley Noted: 7/17/2015 I don’t like to train away from Catalyst SPORT. At CS, we created an environment of motivation to achieve the movement trifecta of mobility, stability, and strength. I am surrounded daily by people who remind me of where I need to improve. It’s the most motivating and satisfying environment I have ever experienced. But today,. I am out of town.

The Do-Over

by

Dooley Noted: 7/17/2015   Seldom in life do we get a chance to relive an event.   I recently had this opportunity. Déjà Vu ran quickly through the confines of my mind, digging up memories I worked unknowingly to bury.    I realized my first attempt was not accepted by universal law.    So, history repeated itself.  And I made sure I learned from my mistakes.   This time – I was granted a do-over.  … Read more
