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.
Technical mastery of the discipline is a prerequisite for coach education, not the curriculum. Understanding why changes what a coaching course should actually teach.
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.
