Movement Training Systems®
Vince Stephenson
Owner of Denver based Movement Training Systems
With a background in Strength and Conditioning, Vince became intrigued with the concept of movement, and its role in athletic performance. It is the component that every sport shares, and is integral to successful performance. As such, Vince, along with his wife, Debi, set out to create a system that trains the body to achieve efficient movement. They spent the last 15 years in research and development of the system, and discovered that the key to efficient movement is body position – in particular, body position just prior to reaction. By determining the exact angles necessary before motion occurs, movement outcome is improved. Based on this concept, Vince created and has implemented a system that shows the athlete where his or her angles are, and determines specific corrections that can be made to perfect the body position.
Vince has worked with many of the powerhouse High School teams in Colorado, and been a specialized consultant to Professional and Collegiate programs throughout the last 15 years including: Denver Nuggets, Cleveland Indians, University of North Carolina, University of Colorado, Colorado State University, Columbia University, and individual professional and collegiate athletes.
Top kettlebell trainer and CEO of Alexandria-based Dynamic Solutions, Darius Gilbert, announced that his speed and performance training programs will incorporate the proprietary Movement Training Systems (MTS) Body Position evaluation and performance improvement processes.
As summer training camps and clinics kick into high gear to prepare athletes for the fall sports season, athletes of all ages are looking to increase total body strength and speed in specific sports. Dynamic Solutions is placing greater emphasis on “movement mechanics.” Movement mechanics are used to teach an athlete how to stabilize position, carry the body in motion, and correctly initiate motion.
Through its web-based tools, MTS measures flow of muscle reaction from the foot through the entire body which dramatically improves motion, strength, athleticism and speed in young athletes. Through the MTS process, Dynamic Solutions can evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the individual athlete and structure drills to cue changes for each athlete.
“In order to improve speed and performance, we need to measure the initial level of each athlete’s ability,” said Gilbert. “Evaluation becomes our most valuable tool in the process of performance improvement and MTS fills this need.”
“Our goal is to help each athlete be as athletic as possible,” said Vince Stephenson, founder of MTS. “Our system was designed to help athletes, coaches and trainers better understand individual body performance for efficiency.”
Dynamic Solutions and MTS agree that performance is dependent on efficient movement. The best of sport-specific skills are only as good as they can be applied. If an athlete is off-balance, out of position or slow, skills will suffer.
