In this chalkboard talk, Coach Glassman uses the squat to illustrate a broader principle of coaching and human movement: regardless of a client’s limitations, the solution is to perform the movement itself. While a technically perfect squat can be demonstrated, he notes that most people arrive with restrictions from age, injury, inactivity, or poor movement education. Rather than diagnosing deficits in flexibility, strength, balance, or neuromuscular control before training, Glassman argues against a culture of overanalysis and “meta-coaching.” Whether the issue is tight hamstrings, weak musculature, or neurological inefficiency, the corrective process is iterative exposure to the squat. By squatting, limitations reveal themselves and adaptation follows, reinforcing the idea that fundamental human movements are not problems to be solved in theory, but practices that solve problems through repetition.
