Posted by If you train in parkour long enough you will come to understand that your body will quickly become strong, fast and powerful, but it is the mind that truly dictates how much and how quickly you progress.
You have a phenomenal capacity for movement, just as every primate does! You are nature’s most adaptive athlete.
But we are also burdened with a powerful prefrontal cortex which tries to consciously control our movement, and in doing so interrupts our automatic movement capabilities which are faster, more responsive, more accurate and more efficient.
Parkour will realign your mind with your body, so that you can begin to tap into your true movement potential. This is how parkour athletes achieve such remarkable feats.
It requires the cultivation of confidence and trust in your own abilities, and the ability to understand and manage fear.
This will take time but is very much worth the effort.
