Kelly Starrett, Glen Cordoza

Date: 2013-06-07 | Duration: 2h 57m

Episode Overview

Kelly Starrett joins Joe Rogan to explore the critical role of movement quality and motor control in overall health and athletic performance. They discuss how modern lifestyles often leave people with poor movement patterns, leading to pain and injury, and emphasize that pain is a lagging indicator rather than an early warning sign. Kelly stresses the importance of developing “position as a skill,” advocating for daily practice to maintain proper joint alignment and mobility. He shares insights on how seemingly simple actions like squatting or foot positioning can reveal deeper dysfunctions, and explains how training the nervous system and mastering foundational movements can prevent long-term damage. The conversation also delves into the integration of strength, conditioning, and skill development, highlighting how athletes—from fighters to everyday people—benefit from a holistic approach to movement. Kelly touches on the evolution of athletic training, noting that many injuries stem from poor mechanics rather than just external factors like footwear or equipment. Memorable stories include references to elite fighters’ movement habits and how even high-level athletes must prioritize mobility and recovery. Throughout, Kelly advocates for accessible education on human movement, encouraging listeners to build a “library of human movement” to improve function, reduce pain, and extend athletic longevity.
