Today is a big day for me.
The Wake Method: Athletics has officially launched and is featured in this month’s Athletics Weekly. For the past couple of years, I’ve been quietly working on a side project in my spare time.
The aim has been simple: to help coaches become a little more effective at helping athletes learn.
The result is The Wake Method: Athletics, which is officially released today and is featured in a full-page article in this month’s Athletics Weekly.
The course brings together over 40 years of coaching experience, 35 years of coach education, and practical insights from sports psychology and neuroscience. It includes more than 60 common technical faults found in athletics and, more importantly, how to correct them in a way athletes can understand and reproduce.
Being featured in Athletics Weekly is a real milestone, and I’m hoping the course will help coaches, parents and athletes improve learning, performance and enjoyment of sport.
The Wake Method isn’t really about athletics. It’s about how people learn movement and skills, which is why the principles can be applied across almost any sport or physical activity.
Next week I’ll begin work on the boxing version, which I suspect will be an even bigger project!
I’d love your help.
If you’ve coached boxing or Boxercise, what are the most common faults you’ve seen people make?
No fault is too simple or too obvious.
Add them in the comments below and I’ll create videos showing practical ways to identify and correct them using The Wake Method.
Thank you to everyone who has supported the project so far.
