The project I have decided to do for my EDGE project is to shadow Dr. Aaron Horschig. Dr. Horschig is a physical therapist from the Kansas City area. He has become well known for his contribution to the Exercise Science world to help people to improve squat for better health. Learning from Dr. Horschig would give me better knowledge to perform squats with great technique. As I think about my future career, I have notice squats are main lift in programming workouts for athletes or general population. The Reason why I pick Dr. Horschig was I really enjoyed the content, and the fact he helped me with my own squat through his online videos. He also puts a different perspective towards the Strength and Condition world by not looking at how much you can squat but how healthy your squat looks. On his Instagram ‘Squat University’, He posted “In the weight room, Athletes cheat & push through bad technique because society values weight on the bar more than quality movement.” By that post, it shows where his values. I am always up to learn from other people, which can help me become a better strength coach.
