Training Overview
At the start of each new skill project we will explain the big picture (the what, why and how of each skill) and then describe each activity and the specific cues we will use. Then we will practice these over and over in small, manageable pieces, gradually layering skills and building complexity in the positions and movements.
For each skill we will move through three steps during the training:
- Introduction to the the skills, the relevant focal points, and the drills we may use.
- Demonstration, hands-on correction and feedback from the instructor.
- Guided practice for you to integrate the new skills
There is a great deal of new (verbal, visual and kinesthetic) information given out in these sessions and we are aware that a new student will absorb only a portion of it all. We have a lot of that information stored on our training site which you will have access to.
Personal Practice Required
Just as if you were practicing a musical instrument or a foreign language, it is important to your progress that you practice on your own between lessons, at least once, if not two or three times.
You may look at scheduling lessons when you know you will have room in your calendar to include personal practice times between. They don’t need to be long sessions, but even just a few practices will help your brain and body digest what you’ve been learning and make steady progress from lesson to lesson.
Included In Your Series

3-month access to lesson notes and practice guides on our online training site the Mediterra Dojo., including access to our 5K and 10K run training plans. This is where you will find more training guidance and additional knowledge on running, on health and a whole lot more.
