PICP Level II (Lower Body Structural Balance)

09-13-2010

Last night at the Danish training center they held and inter league soccer match that saw a large crowd make their way to the Stadium. It was pretty cool to be here for that, and to see the crowds come out like you would enjoy in the USA at a college or professional football game. We went into the restaurant under the stadium and watched the game that was actually being played on the field over our heads! After the game came to an end we were somewhat surprised to see the Patriots vs Bangles game come on the main televisions for the remainder of the evening. American football is quite popular here from what we can tell and they enjoy pools and betting on the game like we do in North America.

The PICP II course outline is designed to teach the student coaches how to evaluate the functional structural imbalances of the lower body, and the muscles that are not functioning correctly. In doing so we will then go through the exercise progressions of the step-up, split squat, lunge, squat, calves, posterior chain. This course is an intensive five day work load that teaches the progressions of the functional exercises of the lower, in doing so the coach should leave PICP II with an understanding of not only the things took look for in the lower body but also how to program the correct sequences of exercises to ensure proper health and progression of the athlete. In level two, the instructors also go over the functional tests to determine the proper balance and function of the muscle, and they teach the student coach how to identify inconsistency in the athletes muscle through tests and screens.

This course kicks but for any coach or trainer that has to work with clients and athletes dominated by the demands of their lower body.
