3-D Behavioral Science: 3-D Balance of Art and Science

Happy New Year!!!


I have had the privilege of having the last few weeks for vacation and that has given me plenty of time to do a lot of thinking. I'll be honest that it wasn't a real vacation because I did see a few of my clients and athletes. I am really blessed I have these people in my life because not only do I have an opportunity to teach them, I have an opportunity to learn from them.

I will say that during this time, I have had the opportunity to think about many things and in particular this blog. I admit that the blog started out as a way for me to express my thoughts and share my education and experience with the human body, particularly focusing on Applied Functional Science and Chain Reaction Biomechanics. As I study AFS and CRB more, I realize the dimensions to these subjects is infinite. Focusing on just anatomy, biomechanics and movement is something that I did with this blog and will continue to do but with the additions of focus on the Mind and Spirit aspect of the 3-DIMENSIONALITY of the human existence.


Interestingly, these last few weeks, have afforded me many opportunities to read, write, watch, correspond and meet with so many awesome people. It's funny that sometimes we look for some "guru" to help us change our lives. Do not get me wrong. I think we need advisers, mentors and teachers in our lives, but I feel there is a point where we have to be like the baby birds who are pushed out of their nests by the mother bird. We either fly or we fall. However, I do not think either is a bad thing. Sometimes the fall, if it doesn't kill us, makes us stronger.
