Ian this is gold, its very rare us amatuers get to see and hear such great content
This statement hit me hard, “For example, the pursuit of happiness through achieving a ‘desirable’ body is fraught with many challenges. For some they will never reach their ‘ideal’ body and therefore never be happy. For others the price they pay to retain their ‘ideal’ body is high.” – I’ve spent a the bulk of my life defining myself through athletic achievements and more recently pushing my limits to achieve a level in weightlifting without acknowledging the potential risks in higher training volumes without acknowledging other factors like recovery and “overtraining.”
As I’ve aged I have found that injuries have reduced my ability to train and perform, which has definitely impacted my happiness.
This statement really helped me to recognize that I’ve allowed my priorities to get really out of alignment. I also find that people prioritize “movement” or “activity,” which makes them feel like they are accomplishing something. Without defining what they aim to achieve and then creating a plan to accomplish those goals.
Great to hear you related to this discussion Keith. What I want all of us to do is consider the impact of our training recommendations on others for their entire life – 10 years from now, 20 years from now 30 years from now, 40 years from now and so on. I have been a professional student of training effect for 4 decades which has left me with many insights, which I seek to pass on.
Ian, this has been an incredible eye opener for me.I have not trained clients with the ethos to look good but have definitely fallen into the belief promoted by industry trends that ‘functional training’ is injury prevention training.
This discussion has really made me stop and pause to think about how I prepare clients and athletes for what they want and need to achieve.
Paula great to hear you found the key message that this unit contains. To pause, put away all one has been taught to think and influenced to do, and start afresh with a new, more holistic and objective perspective. Well done! I love to hear when value such as this is realized! And so much more of the course to go!
I really love how this shows the side of what most humans see and would like to be while training. I see it even as a teenager people training for an “ideal” body type and people working there body only to look a certain way instead of feeling good with themselves. Also, as a young athlete I find it very important what you said about the playing your sport is the best way of training. Sometimes we have a tendency to overthink or over train and think that’s how we will succeed. The KSI purpose of training has some great points and is a great way to start off these units.
I worked with a KSI coach as an athlete, and since then I have worked at a number of smaller gyms and big-box gyms. It is interesting to see the impact both views have had on my own ideas about the purpose of training. This content helped clarify some of that for me.

Great to hear your thoughts Lilly! Impressed with the action you are taking as a 14 year old athlete to be your best and help your fellow athletes!
