CORE PHILOSOPHY | WHAT AND WHY

IT LOOKS LIKE VOODOO

So did electricity in the 1800s. For most of human history, if you


showed up with a flashlight, you’d be hanged as a witch. People
being skeptical of RPR is a mild consequence compared to how
people used to deal with things they didn’t understand.
THE ELEPHANT
RPR’s system of allowing yourself to create neurological change is
no more like magic or voodoo than flipping a light switch and the IN THE ROOM
lights coming on.

What was once thought of as magic is now not even given a


second thought. It’s an integral part of life.

THIS IS WHERE RPR WILL BE ONE DAY

CORE PHILOSOPHY | A NEW LENS

Our body has been explained incompletely.

Working on the muscular or fascial system without first


addressing the nervous system is like changing a

CORE PHILOSOPHY | A NEW LENS

If we agree that the nervous system is at the base of all movement


and performance then it needs to be addressed first.

You can’t fix a neurological issue with a movement strategy. INEFFECTIVE


Coaching someone through a mechanical issue caused by a METHODS FOR
neurological issue is impossible.
CHANGING
You can strengthen a neurological compensation pattern - that’s
what all training has been up to this point. A strong neurological WHAT YOU SEE
compensation is better than a weak one, but now you have a tool
to reset the neurological pattern and train what you’ve always
wanted.
That’s what RPR is for.

ESTABLISHING HOW TO GET YOUR CLIENTS TO BELIEVE
BUY IN

Copyright © 2018, Reflexive Performance Reset, All Rights Reserved


ESTABLISHING BUY IN | TWO PATHS
RPR looks like voodoo. We know! We get it! And we all had to come to terms with it
as well.

But if you’ve made it this far, you also believe there’s something to it.
… and you want your clients and athletes to believe that as well.

Depending on your environment, you can use one of two tests to demonstrate the
ESTABLISHING BUY importance of the nervous system and the power simple cues can have.
IN FOR TEAMS, The Neural Squat Test is ideal when introducing RPR to other professionals. This
ATHLETES, AND population has investment in what they have learned and what they know. RPR
challenges those fundamentals. The Neural Squat Test illustrates the importance of
INDIVIDUALS the nervous system, which is the basis for understanding RPR.

The Anti-Rotation Test is perfect for establishing buy-in for clients and athletes.
This population cares about one thing: performance. When you perform this test,
have two athletes perform the wake up drill on each other. This shows how easy
the drills are to learn and how effective they are even when people don’t really
know what they’re doing. This also reinforces the empowerment message that’s
core to RPR.

● Have one athlete perform the anti-rotation wake up
drill on the other
● Perform the test again and note any changes in

ESTABLISHING BUY IN | EXPLAINING RPR
“BUT WHAT DATA DO YOU HAVE TO SUPPORT IT?”

Peer-reviewed research is a trailing indicator. By the time research is


published, innovators have been using new tools and techniques for
years. If you wait for research to implement what has been returning
results for others for years, you will always be behind.

HOW TO We’ve shared what data we have and will continue to be open books
as more research is done.
INTRODUCE RPR TO
Most people are skeptical of things that challenge what they believe.
YOUR COLLEAGUES Think about when the iPhone was introduced. Some people rejected it
out of hand, some people embraced it.
Ten years later - what’s in your pocket?

When evaluating any change to your program, you should ask three
simple questions:
WILL IT SAVE TIME?
CAN IT DO HARM?
Copyright © 2018, Reflexive Performance Reset, All Rights Reserved DOES IT YIELD RESULTS?
ESTABLISHING BUY IN | EXPLAINING RPR

WILL IT SAVE TIME?


Yes. Simply put, RPR saves time in warm ups and in recovery by
getting the nervous system, and therefore the body, to a better
place, quicker.

CAN IT DO HARM? THREE SIMPLE


No. Your clients and athletes are performing the Wake Up Drills on
themselves, it’s impossible to harm your own body using these QUESTIONS
drills.

DOES IT YIELD RESULTS?


Yes. Athletes recover faster after using RPR than before. They are
more flexible after using RPR than before. They are more resistant
to injury after using RPR than before.

WAKE UP DRILLS | THE CHARTS

Here is a Wake Up Drill sheet


designed to be printed on a
standard Letter sheet.

Here is a Wake Up Drill poster


designed for an 18”x24” sheet to be
posted on a wall in your facility.

Here is a half-page cheat sheet that


your clients and athletes can keep
at hand.

Please do not post them online.

Copyright © 2018, Reflexive Performance Reset, All Rights Reserved


WAKE UP DRILLS | IMPLEMENTATION

● SET A DAILY BASELINE: Establish a simple baseline and test


against that baseline every time you do the Wake Up Drills. A
toe-touch, squat, or overhead reach all work.
● PRIORITIES: Breathing and Zone 1 are always first.
THE GUIDELINES ● KEEP IT MOVING: In a dynamic warm up, try to do no more than
FOR two Wake Up Drills at a time. That will keep your momentum up.
● SHOW FIRST AND THEN TELL: Model the Wake Up Drills
IMPLEMENTING exactly as you want your athletes to perform them.
THE WAKE UP ● TAKE YOUR TIME: Times for Wake Up Drills are approximate.
Responses vary by the individual, the Drill, and the day.
DRILLS ● PROGRESS, NOT PERFECTION: Wake Up Drills don’t have to be
done perfectly to have an effect.
● STICK WITH IT: There is a cumulative effect to belly breathing
and the Wake Up Drills.

RPR should become part of everyday life for you and your athletes.

calf points find a spot between the second or
third rib you encounter that feels like there’s a
