Seventeen years of certifying parkour coaches across 50 countries has taught us things no textbook anticipated. The Coaching Journal is where we write them down. For coaches who take the discipline seriously.
A skill that only works where it was trained is not a skill. Understanding transfer of learning changes how you design sessions and what you actually develop.
The stretch-shortening cycle underlies almost every efficient parkour movement. Understanding it changes how you teach landings, take-offs, the roll, climb-ups, lines... everything!
Calling parkour a sport changes what gets taught, how progress is measured, and what the training produces. But parkour didn't begin as a sport, and it will always be far more than just a sport. The distinction has real consequences.
Physical literacy is not fitness. It is the motivation, confidence and competence to move through life capably. Parkour coaches are uniquely positioned to build it - if they understand what it is.
