The System At Play With a Division 1 Collegiate Basketball Player
Written by Jenna Gourlay Case Study
Systems Case Study
Division 1 Female Basketball Player
The Systems approach is powerful when you trust the process. Let’s walk through a case study with a collegiate female basketball player and take a look at the step-by-step process of applying the SFMA, FMS and then, the FCS (in that order). This player’s case and specific issues are likely familiar to professionals who work with athletes. Watch the case unfold as we apply the System and allow the screens and assessments to give us objective information. From there, we now have direction to guide our next steps to treat this athlete so she can train and compete pain free. Clearing her of pain and establishing movement competency allows us to now address the athletic base that will support her durability and performance.
Many certified professionals feel overwhelmed by the Systems approach. However, when it is broken down on a practical level, you can see how this methodology can create the most time efficient, direct path to getting back on track for athletic goals. Let’s take a look at this real-world success story using the practical applications that the FMS System provides.

Loved the case study. I would love to find someone out here in Los Angeles that thinks the way you do to break it all down from bottom to top to really figure out the problem areas. It’s not always black and white as you demonstrated. Do you happen to know anyone in the Los Angeles area with your critical thinking skills? Great job on getting this athlete back to where they needed to be.
