The Logical Flow of the CLA Start with a Problem. To most effectively apply the CLA, we need to start with a problem: something we don’t like about the athlete’s current movement solution. The two main reasons we might want to change an athlete’s movement solution are: (i) it is resulting in sub-optimal performance outcomes and/or (ii) it has the potential to cause injury. If neither of these is an issue, then we should leave it alone! As my father used to say “There is more than one way to skin a cat” (aka embrace the bliss of motor abundance). We don’t want to suppress individuality and authenticity in the name of orthodoxy.
Learning to Be an “Ecological” Coach

Q: What characters keep coming back?
Flynn: It’s mostly character types, like authority figures or a bad parent. Over the years, if you’re talking about 20 years (of doing improv), I believe I’ve played more than one incompetent doctor. And an unsympathetic parent, I’ve done that, too.
Koechner: I’ve probably played more than one overly confident janitor. Or a hard-charging boss that’s very demanding and incompetent.
Flynn: And I’ve played the bad employee.
Koechner: We’ve all been police officers more than I can count.
Flynn: And we’ve also been the supervisor who calls them into the office: “Get in here, you two!”
