Why does posture matter? Dan Pfaff explains

Dan Pfaff explains why posture is critical in sprinting and how deviations like listing indicate movement compensations.

Why Posture Is the First Place to Look 👀 “Posture tells the story.” Coach Dan Pfaff reminds us that posture isn’t static—it changes with speed, force, and fatigue. In acceleration, forward lean makes sense. But as athletes transition to upright sprinting, that lean should diminish. If they’re still leaning—forward, backward, or laterally—it’s a red flag. It could point to coaching bias, force application issues, or movement compensations. Dan calls this “listing.” And it’s one of many posture clues he uses to decode performance and risk. ➡️ Want to learn what to look at, how to look at it, and why it matters?
