1. Movement Skill / Mobility - 9 Pillars of Fitness

  1. Movement Skill / Mobility:
  • What it is: The ability of your joints to move in ways required by your sport.
  • Why it matters: If you lack mobility, you'll make compromises in technique that lead to pain, injury, or poor performance.
  • Blind spots: Being "fit" doesn't matter if you blow your ACL on day #2 of skiing in November due to a lack of knee and hip mobility. Because mobility training doesn't involve sweat and endorphin highs, mountain athletes tend to overlook it. No matter your age or injury history, you can make improvements in mobility, and doing so will extend your years in the mountains.
