Functional Connections In Sports - Chapter 1

Chapter 1: The Foundations of Functional Connectivity

This opening chapter lays the groundwork for understanding the kinetic, fascial, and neurological interconnections that define human performance. Blending biomechanical science with system-based logic, it reframes movement not as isolated muscle work, but as integrated force transmission across chains, slings, and networks.

Whether you're a coach, clinician, or athlete, this chapter challenges outdated reductionist models and builds the case for a unified approach to movement, injury prevention, and performance.

Pulling from nearly 20 years of research and clinical application, it sets the tone for the entire Functional Connections series—uncompromising, practical, and unapologetically precise.
