Assessment Instructions:

You are asked the following questions by a STUDENT. How would you respond? 

1) What does my nervous system have to do with my range of motion? If I want to learn to squat with my heels down, do I have to train my nervous system too?

2) Is passive stretching a bad thing? Should I avoid it?

3) I'm confused about using repetition when it comes to learning new movements. Don't I need to use repetition to learn? Or is repetitive movement how people get injured?

REMEMBER:

1. Respond in a way that is informed, accessible and clear. 
2. Be as thorough as you need to be, but as concise as possible.
