There’s a ton of info out there on how we learn new skills.
But the one thing all experts agree on?
Skills are task-specific.
Your body learns to fire the right muscles, at the right time, in the right order - to perform a skill.
Change the movement, change the outcome.
If you mess with the task, even slightly, you change how your body learns and fires.
Sure, pretending to surf on a BOSU ball might improve ankle stability or balance. But will it improve your surfing?
Highly unlikely - it could actually make you worse.
Want to get better at a skill?
Do the actual skill.
We hear Insta coaches say:
“This ONE exercise will fix you!”
But how do they know that... without assessing you first?
Spoiler: They don’t.
It’s an educated guess at best. A marketing trick at worst.
Yeah, trendy online programs look like fun. And they should be!
But progress isn’t always fun.
It’s work.
Growth requires discomfort.
Stick with what feels comfy, and you won’t evolve, as a human or as an athlete.
And let’s be real...
Most of the “fun” stuff you see online skips the basics - especially strength training.
But here’s the truth:
📚 Stronger athletes are:
✔️ Faster
✔️ More powerful
✔️ Way less likely to get injured
There’s plenty of research to back that up.
OPC doesn’t do fluff.
OPC trains athletes to move well, lift strong, and perform at their best.
That’s the OPC way.
