• Introduction 
• Screens vs. Evaluations. 
• Medical clearance vs. exercise “preparedness”. 
• Putting the cart before the horse – don’t use exercise as your assessment. 
• Evaluation – Yielding diagnosis – specific answer to a specific question 
• Screen – General answer to general question: Does this person have the mobility and stability to do the exercises we’re going to do? 
• Keep it simple – Pass or fail. Don’t freeze frame the movement. 
• Paralysis of analysis. Dissecting muscles vs. screening movements - Take the big picture view. 
• Don’t let the fleas argue over who owns the dog! 
• Getting your feet wet – Only way to learn movement is to watch movement. 
• Looking at the whole and working backwards to the parts. 
• Screen movements are screen movements – not loaded exercise movements. 
• Investing time in exercise techniques only vs. learning screens and assessments – like the difference between being a drug rep and a physician. Become a “physician” of fitness.
