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.
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.
Parkour is a physical discipline with real risk. The bodies of the people in front of a coach are real. The environment they move in is real. The consequences of bad coaching, not just injury but bad learning, bad habits, eroded confidence, misplaced progression, are real and lasting.
