Mobility or Stability

Which one is more important to an athlete? How about the average person? The truth is; you can't have efficient movement without both! Take the golf swing for example: you need mobility in your shoulders (Glenohumeral joint) to swing the club well, but without stability of your shoulder blades (Scapulothoracic joint) you will struggle to control your golf ball (the whole point). A fitness protocol for golf needs to address both mobility and stability specifically for that person. There is no cookie cutter approach that works. Remember S.M.A.R.T goals? Specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely.
