Essentials of Elite Performance

This past weekend we attended the Z Health Essentials of Elite Performance for the third time since 2010. This time we were joined by five people from our gym so it was interesting to get their feedback about the course.

The Essentials of Elite Performance is a three day sampler of the Z health approach to brain-based training. While other courses dive into these subjects in depth, the EEP dedicates one day each to movement re-education, sensory integration, and fundamental sports skills.

What makes this course, and Z Health in general, different is that everything is assessed before and after so you learn exactly what your body needs by understanding the response from your nervous system. For our clients, they understand this is fundamental to everything we do at Taiso.

It was interesting to see how our clients enjoyed the EEP and what they each learned. While they have heard the concepts from us many times, sometimes it just takes another person explaining something for it to become clear. This is what happened with one member who really came away with a good understanding of how and why precision matters. Another member had a huge breakthrough in both mobility and vision. Another had a great improvement with neck mobility.

But the best thing for us, is seeing how the attendees have taken the knowledge they gained from the EEP and incorporated it into their workouts. Usually we are the ones pushing for change and experimentation, but this week it has very rewarding to see them problem solving and integrating new skills into their routines.

While two of the people are trainers who plan to continue through the Z Health training program, three were end users who were just interested in a better understanding of their brains and it effects their movement.
