Hey everyone, thanks for tuning into Power Athlete Radio.

Fixing a broken athlete is tough, but it's even more tough when they're able to mask their ship mechanics with compensatory talent.

Ingrid Markham will be the first to tell you that she rose to the highest

levels of gymnastics, bobsledding, and Olympic weightlifting doing just that. Here how she trained

through injury after injury with success over the years, but at great cost. Now she's dedicated to

educating coaches and athletes so they can thrive and continue to crush their competitors for the long haul.

In this episode, Ingrid takes us through a few diagnostics that will help improve coordination and drive intentionality into your training.

fascination with coordination. Here how the two discussed what they feel is an often overlooked

and undefined component of athleticism. This is episode 193.
