• The complete guide to foot and ankle training

  Discover how proper foot and ankle mechanics can transform athletic performance with podiatrist Dr. Emily Splichal. In this episode, we explore the often-overlooked foundation of strength training—your feet. Learn why barefoot movement prep, toe activation, and understanding the foot tripod are essential for optimizing the kinetic chain. Dr. Emily shares practical strategies for integrating foot strengthening into your programming, proper assessment techniques for inversion and eversion, and how to address common structural issues like tibial-femoral external rotation. We discuss the transition to minimal footwear, the importance of sensory stimulation through textured surfaces, and the four pillars of bulletproofing your athletes' feet: awareness, integrated strength, balance, and recovery. $1 Trial Membership to SCN🏫CEUs: https://strengthcoachnetwork.com/TrialSave on your re-certification to the NSCA and CSCCa with best price CEUs🏫CEUs: https://strengthcoachnetwork.com/CEU🐦X: https://twitter.com/StrCoachNetwork📷Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/strength_coach_network/🌎Site: https://strengthcoachnetwork.com/From our sponsors: TeamBuildr https://www.teambuildr.com/enTeamBuildr is a platform for any coach in any setting.
