My View on Internal vs. External Cueing

I just wanted to share this article that I read today on internal vs. external cueing and share some of my thoughts. In it, Matt Kuzdub, a high-level tennis athlete, discusses what the research has shown on cueing and why he thinks that it is not all that. Hint: I agree! I like to think […]

Is each day another you haven’t achieved your goals?

An over-reliance on the end result can make for an all-or-nothing training experience. While goals are important and worthy of your time, they can also distance you from the day-to-day work needed to accomplish them.

Whether it’s splits or backbending, we want to avoid place all of our bend into a couple of vertebrae.

WANT TO IMPROVE YOUR SPLITS? Focus On Your Back HIP

Splits, splits, splits! Focus on your back leg if you want to improve your splits. A great way to ensure that you don’t over-stretch your hamstrings, a super common injury for aerialists and over-eager stretchers, is to take them out of the equation. 1. All you have to do is place blocks under your front […]

Are you training to failure? Maybe you shouldn’t be.

The balancing act of training is imparting enough stress to see gains, but not so much as to cause serious damage or poor performance.

I was raised on the traditional, unceded, and stolen lands of the Choctaw people past, present and future. The land already had a name, Bulbancha, meaning “the place of many tongues” (colonized as New Orleans, LA) and was a space of exchange for many Indigenous people, including Atakapa, Caddo, Choctaw, Houma, Natchez, and Tunica nations.

I am a descendent of slaveholders as well as Mandé peoples. The wealth of my family, New Orleans, the South, and the United States as a whole was created on the backs of millions stolen from their home and forced to work without choice, pay, or freedom.

I live and work on the traditional homelands of the Marys River or Ampinefu Band of Kalapuya. Following the Willamette Valley Treaty of 1855, Kalapuya people were forcibly removed to reservations in Western Oregon. Today, living descendants of these people are part of the Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde Community of Oregon and the Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Indians.

I am working to surrender participation in “spheres of coercive hierarchical domination” (H/T Bell Hooks) and “co-create a world where the politics of domination are no longer normal or possible.” (H/T Kelly Diels)
