But it wasn't the extreme stuff that changed how he coaches. It was what came after: breaking the cycle of recurring niggles, understanding how the foot actually interacts with the ground, and rebuilding his own movement from scratch. That experience shaped a no-BS, science-based coaching approach he uses to help everyday athletes strip back the noise, transition safely to natural footwear, and build bodies that hold up long-term.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLock It In - Only 15 Spots\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is intentionally small.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e15 people.
