Something clicked for me during this handstand walk session and I wanted to share it with you guys first. Clue: running and handstand walks are way more similar than you think 👀

As I continue coaching Level 2 seminars, I find myself repeatedly coming back to the joint-by-joint coaching framework—especially when a coach feels stuck, unsure what to look for, or can’t immediately identify a fault. By systematically working up the body—starting at the feet, then knees, hips, trunk, shoulders, and so on—we give ourselves a reliable process. As long as we understand what each joint should be doing, subtle faults become much easier to identify. This approach is especially valuable when working with veteran athletes, who often move well enough that major faults aren’t obvious at first glance. The joint-by-joint lens helps coaches see what’s almost right—and refine it toward virtuosity. I’ll continue building this spreadsheet over time, starting with the nine foundational movements, and eventually expanding into Olympic lifts, gymnastics, and monostructural modalities. This is a living document, not a finished product. Bookmark this link and revisit it often—especially during sessions with athletes—as a practical guide to improving movement quality and coaching clarity. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zDnTxZNkj71YpJN9jMJUSoFgORh0e8mWJGNNGXJzvAs/edit?usp=sharing
