We are not machines. Humans are complex, non-linear neurobological systems that demonstrate emergent order, and as such our way of learning is not machine-like. And therefore our ways of teaching and coaching should be based on how humans best learn.
We utilise a constrained-cognitive pedagogy – a method which intergates optimal practice with non-linear dynamic systems in nature to promote self-organising processes inherent in human beings as movers, athletes and individuals. We do not believe in imposing arbitrary movement patterns. Good coaching places the learner at the very centre of the process.
The Level 3 (Master) Coach Certification is the pinnacle of the parkour coaching framework, and denotes an individual who has excelled in understanding the higher levels of coaching science, theory and practice as well as having mastered the practice of parkour.
This course focuses on not only delivering highly effective technical and physical athlete development, but also on creating a profound experience and developing the 'inner game' of all practitioners.
