Movement competency defined: the ability to control fundamental movement patterns through a full range of motion, why it precedes loading, and how it is assessed objectively.
A practical guide to athlete monitoring: setting baselines, choosing what to measure, reading trend views, and tracking movement asymmetry across a season.
Practical youth athlete development guidance: multi-sport sampling versus early specialization, training through the growth spurt, and how to judge progress against the right baseline.
Long-term athletic development (LTAD) explained: the staged model, why chronological age misleads during growth, and how objective movement data supports every stage.
Why levels, scores, and streaks drive training adherence, and how progression earned through real biomechanics measurement differs from arbitrary game points.
What sport science actually means: systematic observation, experimentation, and data analysis in sport, from 1950s Soviet training studies to modern motion capture.
How three University of Virginia classmates built Valor to make intelligent movement science accessible to every athlete and coach, no lab required.
