We want to thank everyone for tuning in, the month of January was our best month on YouTube, the channel saw more engagement, new subscribers and overall watched time than any month prior, we want to thank everyone for clicking in and watching the videos, and for leaving likes or dislikes as well as showing us your opinions (we are a free thinking hive like community so everyone is welcome to share their opinions,debates, concerns, revelations or arguments here, we won't hold it against you!). We actually really appreciate it! We also want to remind everyone that if they have any questions, they can always leave them in the comment sections beneath the video and we will answer as many of them as we can but we cannot always guarantee an answer, however if you happen to ask a really good question, we may feature it as a video later on and mention your YouTube user name, so if you think you have a good question, than shoot for it and you may hear back from us in a video post later on....

If you hang around the GOATA community for long enough you may just hear the phrase "saving the world's connective tissue" getting thrown around by either Coach Gil or another one of the GOATA Coaches. The nonchalantness of this phrase being said by the coaches may have you stop and think "ah well, that's just another one of their sayings that they love so much."  Although, unlike many of the things said at GLS & GOATA "saving the world's connective tissue" takes the cake in what  GOATA Coaches feel is most important about what they teach. This phrase holds bearing on a GOATA coaches mindset of preventing the injury by using a better quality of movement in their athletes, which explains why so many of our athletes remain durable, and injury resistant. If a coach is just focused on making you strong, then you will get strong. If a coach is just focused on how fast you move through space, than you will get faster. If a coach is focused on keeping you durable, pain free...

Coach GOATA Joe's climb to fame in the community and hive has been a turbulent and challenging one. Even if you did not count the pain in his knees and aches in his body before he met Coach Gil, GOATA Joe has persevered through many challenges in his life. When I first interviewed GOATA Joe, he mentioned how difficult the GOATA movement system was on his body, when his body was changing his movement in the very start, I remember him clearly stating that it felt "weird." With trust and dedication he learned to master the GOATA Movement system, and found himself quickly climbing to a fluid moving level 10 GOATA. While he is skilled enough to train athletes himself as a coach, he is dedicated to becoming a professional football player in the NFL, and shows excessively fast speeds in his 40 yard dash, which are much faster than when he began with GOATA. However, along with the performance increase, GOATA Joe has also felt a relief in pain due to his movement efficiency and a faster...

Recreating the innate pattern that saves joints, prevents muscle tears and unnecessary itis's has been a long and tedious path, Coach Gil, Frequently talks about "cognitive dissonance" and the same cognitive dissonance he experienced almost 30 years ago before he found Pete Egoscue. Cognitive Dissonance defined by oxford is "the state of having inconsistent thoughts, beliefs, or attitudes, especially as relating to behavioral decisions and attitude change." Should I listen to my Doctor if my body always hurts or Should I stop working out if every time I try too, if it strains my knees or my back?" If you are cognitively dissonant toward the world of recovery and posture than your answer may be "yes," I will listen to my doctor and get an overpriced surgery that will be hard if not impossible to recover from. Or, I will listen to my Doctor telling me I need to take pills to solve a minuscule pain in my knee. Or... "no" I want to look for different, more modern solutions to my...

This week we have a write up from one of our Master GOATA Coaches, Cody, about the healthcare industry and how treatment we receive today can be equated to how we treat problems with our automobile, often after the damage has been done.

Proactive care, and preventative maintenance is far LESS expensive than refusing to diagnose problems before they cause damage.  This is the acceptable norm with automobiles, but not with human bodies. Reactive (oh darn it’s broke) costs some gross amounts of money and will never be a substitute for OEM parts.  This reactive model of care is the dominating one in healthcare and rehabilitation.  Many of today’s most expensive and frequent surgeries are caused by degenerative damage, overuse, and misalignment.  The stark reality is that surgery can be prevented when the proper measures and assessments are taken.

So why does the current system lean towards reactive care?  Why are we paying...

This was an interview done by the writer of the Tiger Details column, big shout out to them for taking time for the interview, going over what it was like training OBJ and how efforts to reach out have been falling on deaf ears.

Coach Gil goes through his movement education timeline with a number of books that inspired him to go further down the rabbit hole of this thing we call movement.  These suggested reads became the fundamental building blocks of what we now call GOATA Movement.  These books are highly recommended thumb throughs as the topics explained in each have significant impact on the understanding of how he came to the core beliefs expressed in GOATA Movement.
