The Connection Between Parkour and Neuro Coaching

When I was introduced to Parkour in 2013 I was instantly drawn to the wonderful outlet it was to help youth develop character for life in a fun and exciting way. It was a way to help youth practice healthy life skills such as embracing failure and developing a work ethic in a setting that naturally pulled out the best in youth because they were moving around and having fun. 

The further I got in my coaching career, the more I realized the life lessons parkour could teach were deeper and deeper. When I was introduced to Neuro Coaching in 2022 and how to scientifically wire our brains to support the habits and emotions we want to have, NO MATTER THE PREVIOUS PROGRAMMING, I was instantly drawn to how Neuro Coaching and parkour could combine to make a powerful developmental tool for youth. 

Now, as a certified Neuro Coach with the SINC Method I have seen tremendous change in my own life and in the lives of the many people I have had the opportunity to Neuro Coach.

I am expanding my focus with Parkour East Texas to partner with Propel Neuro Coaching. Parkour focuses on helping youth wire their brains to embrace challenge and enjoy working hard through physical challenges. Parkour also helps youth develop a real life community with an atmosphere that is positive, encouraging and genuinely rejoices with each other instead of competes against one another. With Neuro Coaching I get to dive deep with older youth who have identified something isn't working as smooth as it could in their life. Neuro Coaching is all about getting to the root cause of an issue and pulling out the whole plant by taking out the root system. Once that is done we rewire the brain to support version 2.0 (the person we want to become) and with my one-on-one clients we use a 67 day (scientifically proven and tested) method to form completely new brain pathways. Just writing about this gets me excited because of how powerful this is. Lives get to be changed and transformed with visible results within 2 months. 

After seeing first hand the positive impact Neuro Coaching has had on my life, I have realized just how much of this basic science I had NO IDEA about until my Neuro Coaching journey started. Because I know there are other people out there just like me who haven't heard about a Neuro Coaching approach, I have a series of blog posts planned to help parents understand and even start implementing shifts from a Neurological approach with their youth. Because I believe Parkour is closely related to the work I do with Neuro Coaching I will be keeping these posts on the Parkour East Texas blog. I see Neuro Coaching as a more mental way to do what we do with Parkour in a deeper and quicker manner for older youth.
