Zig Ziegler is an expert Sports Kinesiologist specializing in Kinesiotherapy, Sports Performance, Post Rehab Conditioning, and Corrective Exercise with over 30 years of experience working with individuals and teams in exercise physiology, nutrition, weight loss, fitness, biomechanics, and high altitude training.
During his career, Zig has assessed the biomechanics of over 100,000 athletes including some of the world’s best in professional track and field, running, baseball, basketball, football, tennis, fastpitch, golf, and many other sports!
For over 30 years, sports has been running the same generic program on every athlete and calling the ones who don't respond to it weak, soft, or not coachable.
That's not coaching. That's fear.
In this episode, sports kinesiologist and WITFL Commissioner Zig Ziegler breaks open the truth that nobody in athletics wants to say out loud — coaches don't individualize because they're afraid of looking bad. And when an athlete doesn't improve, they don't question the program. They blame the athlete.
Zig knows because he was that athlete.
Thirty-four shoulder dislocations. Stress fractures. A hamstring pull. A torn ACL his senior year. And coaches who moved on every single time he went down.
What came from that — after analyzing over 5,000 athletes using motion capture technology between 2002 and 2004, and working with more than 100,000 athletes across every sport over three decades — is a discovery that changed everything he understood about human performance.
Every person on earth moves in a pattern completely unique to their own strengths, physical limitations, thoughts, and coaching history.
He named it Motion DNA.
The world is just now catching up.
This show is for every athlete who was told they weren't enough. Every parent who watched it happen to their kid. Every coach who actually gives a damn and wants better tools.
What worked for Johnny will not work for Jamie. What worked for Billy will not work for Suzie. And if it didn't work — it's because it was never built for them.
TrackFIT changes that.
In this episode:
Why coaches fear looking bad more than they fear failing athletes
The discovery of Motion DNA — and what 5,000 athletes taught Zig that the sports world still hasn't learned
How every sport — not just track and field — has failed athletes with generic programs
What individualized performance actually looks like
