Presentation Description:

This session reveals the often-missed foundations of elite movement. Tracy Tanguay, founder of The Liminal Method and fondly recognized as MobilityChick, breaks down how to eliminate energy leaks and unlock efficiency through intentional transitions—the liminal space between movements. When alignment, breath, and structure are organized, power transfers cleanly through the body with less strain and greater control. Using her Triple-S cueing system (Skull, Scaps, Sacrum) and the Principle of Opposition, Tracy teaches how to coach and cue athletes through transitions with clarity, helping them connect structure to sensation. Attendees will explore how the nervous system responds to alignment, how to stabilize without tension, and how to move with precision, adaptability, and flow. Coaches, trainers, and athletes will leave with actionable tools to enhance mechanical efficiency, sharpen focus, and expand athletic potential through smarter, more connected movement.

Learning Objectives:

1. Understand how the liminal space, the transitions between movements, affects energy transfer, coordination, and overall performance efficiency.
2. Learn how to apply the Principle of Opposition and other cues such as Triple-S and T-8 back to create more efficient structural alignment, balance tension, and improve movement control.
3. Develop practical strategies for coaching athletes through transitions using alignment, breath, and nervous system awareness to reduce energy leaks, prevent injury, and enhance precision, focus, and flow.
