Lou McGovern is a former U.S. Marine, a lifelong athlete, an avid surfer & paddler, and an enthusiastic teacher. He is a Z Health Master Trainer,and a RKC and AKC certified Kettlebell Coach. Lou founded Essential Strength to provide performance coaching: to teach average athletes elite movement. If I had to describe my desire in one word, it would be FREEDOM. I love to move. I love to explore the possibilities of life. I have realized that any discomfort I may feel stems from a feeling of confinement. Through my study of human movement, I have learned that movement patterns become unconscious the more often we practice them (dont believe me, imagine yourself brushing your teeth, I bet you always grab the toothbrush and get to work with the same hand, automatically). I began to understand that the patterns that I consistently used were creating the person that I was. Every habit, every mood, every persistent ache and pain, every addiction, was a result of the patterning that I was continually reinforcing with my movement, UNCONSCIOUSLY. I was giving up my freedom to choose how I wanted to be, and more importantly, how I wanted to perform, because I was unaware of the patterns that I was practicing. As my understanding of the Central Nervous System and Motor Learning deepened, I Began to understand how every action that I took affected each and every system of my body. This understanding allowed me to develop strategies to destroy my unconscious patterns and replace them with only those that contribute to creating the outcomes that I desire, I have found freedom through focused movement practice and I am finally beginning to realize my athletic potential.
