Jon Torine Screening Athletes – The Athlete Continuum

Product Description

Jon Torine NFL Strength Coach – Strength Coaching for Professional Sports – Jon Torine Screening Athletes

In this lecture, long-time NFL strength and conditioning coach Jon Torine lays out the system he calls The Athlete Continuum. He uses this structure to support the athlete’s skill through quality communication across the medical and performance teams. The Functional Movement Screen is an important part of his system, and in addition to his other communication ideas, he discusses the Screen’s use in a team environment.

“The thing we all must hold true to is a baseline. That’s what I’d like to stress—holding true to a baseline. The methods vary. We know what works. We could put a bunch of people in a room and talk about all the things we do, and the majority of us could prove what we’re doing works. Do we have an established baseline? That’s what we want to look at.”~Jon Torine
