Warm-Up to ______?

A few months back I wrote about how we use WUTS — Warm-Up To Swim — with my swimmers. 10-15 minutes of athletic improvement before anyone touches the water. Every day, no exceptions.

At the end of that post I mentioned something: this works for any sport.

I meant it. And it's time to back it up.

Our Framework Doesn't Care What Sport You Play

WUTS was built for swimming. But, it was also built for athletes. Swimming just happened to be where it was road-tested first. Hence the name Warm-Up To Swim...

In practice, there are four phases that address what every athlete needs before they train or compete — regardless of whether they're in a pool, on a court, or on a field.

The Framework is simple:

• Get Moving
• Prep the hips
• Prep the shoulders
• Connect Through the Core

That's not just a swim thing. It's a human movement thing.

No matter what sport you play, the system works . Also you can move these around as needed. I often put a game in as the "get moving" but put it at the end depending on the day.

I've got an e-book in the works. Inside, you'll find more information on how to build warm-up to help you or your athletes get ready for any sport or activity.

From beer-league hockey to little-league baseball, you'll be ready to Move. Improve. and Repeat.

In the Meantime if you haven't tried the example Warm-Up to Swim series yet — start there. Or give us a follow on Instagram for more examples. Even if you don't coach swimmers, the framework will make sense immediately.
