Simple concepts we all understand, but what are their differences and *when* should you be doing each one? On this episode, we break that down.  This idea is based on an article, Gray wrote, titled *Play, Practice, or Train-Which Comes When?* ([Find article HERE](https://www.functionalmovement.com/articles/957)). Although originally written in 2013 the concept still rings true today.  First, we cover the basics, and Gray uses his kettlebell journey with Brett Jones as an example.  We talk cartwheels, tennis, South American football drills, martial arts, and how this topic applies to youth sports. Gray and Lee also give us an idea of what play looks like at their house. For the pros, we get into coaching strategies, working around people’s limitations, and small group fitness options. ##### Episode Notes:  00:01:22 An explanation of "movement" 00:02:15 Play, practice, or training and what each really means. 00:11:29 What constitutes a good coach? 00:13:02 Youth sports: play vs practice and training 00:13:30 Martial arts instructor: Dan Inosanto 00:15:29 [FCS: Functional Capacity Screen course](https://www.functionalmovement.com/Store/180/fundamental_capacity_screen_online_course) 00:19:13 The Gray Cook backyard playground 00:24:15 Identifying a clients limitations and deciding between play, practice and training 00:28:15 Working out during injuries safely and intelligently 00:30:54 Popular group training and their inexperienced populations   #### Did you miss the YouTube release of Ep13?  #### Check it out  👇   ## Latest Tweets ## Find Certified Members Copyright © 2020 FunctionalMovement.com - [Home](https://www.functionalmovement.com/) - [Contact Us](mailto:support@functionalmovement.com) - [Privacy Policy](https://www.functionalmovement.com/privacy) - [Accepted Use Policy](https://www.functionalmovement.com/accepteduse) - [Terms and Conditions](https://www.functionalmovement.com/terms)
