Spent Tuesday morning in Dallas at the Body Balance for Performance and finished my certification as a Certified Instructor. It's a direction I've been persuing for some time now and this is another step toward being a better teacher.

Now that I'm much more aware of the role the body plays in movement, I notice the general population as they go about their business. I'm amazed that some people can even move, let alone function. The next time your out and about check out the posture on most folks. You'll see rounded shoulders and forward leaning heads. Good posture is rare.

So far, my students tend to have posture problems and hamstring tightness. With bad posture you limit the amount of rotation going back and through. Tight hamstrings will not allow you to set up properly and will cause change in posture during the swing.

In previous posts I've detailed how to improve your posture and there are several good hamstring stretches you probably already know. Daily attention to the problem will resolve this issue and improve your movement.

Until next time, thanks.
