Tim Sirmon joins Dr. Clayton Skaggs to explore why a singular, meaningful target can help preparation become action.\nDr. Skaggs reads “Come to Your Senses: Thinking What Matters,” a CIHP Insight about sensory focus, preparation, simplicity, and performance. The reading connects a client's “bones and muscle” mantra while pushing a weighted sled with examples from Olympic marathoner Molly Seidel and swimmer Kate Douglass.\nTim brings the idea back to everyday movement. During preparation or remedial work, a person may explore breathing, foot pressure, knee position, and other sensations. During performance (walking, standing, climbing stairs, or returning to a demanding activity) trying to consciously control every detail can cause the person to miss the target.\nThe conversation also revisits a client whose path moved from being unable to stand on one leg to hiking and biking. His progress required periods of doing less, careful reassessment, and eventually being encouraged to do more when his movement tolerance and readiness had changed.\nIn this episode:\nA client's progression from limited balance to hiking and biking\nWhy recovery may require both doing less and doing more\nDr. Skaggs' “Come to Your Senses: Thinking What Matters” CIHP Insight\nUsing a simple phrase to focus effort during a difficult task\nWhat elite performers can teach us about singular attention\nThe difference between exploring movement and performing it\nWhy excessive conscious control can cause us to miss the target\nThe role of preparation, coaching, and sensory awareness\n\nGuest: Tim Sirmon, DPT, Lead Practitioner at CIHP \nHost: Dr. Clayton Skaggs, Founder, Central Institute for Human Performance\nLearn more about the Central Institute for Human Performance: https://cihp.com/  \nMeet the CIHP team: https://cihp.com/about/\nThis podcast is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for personalized medical...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/qJtXNrh2sU6BALRyB_bHg4HMO1Nu-Y9as-k_-AtJebM/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9iNjlj/YWI2NWZhZTM2NzA3/OWRhOGEzYzMxM2Rk/NmEzZC5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
