How James Adams Uses Technology to Improve Movement Training James Adams is a movement enthusiast and programmer with a passion for data analysis and productivity. As the creator of Parkour.clinic , he uses his programming skills to improve the training methods and techniques used by Parkour practitioners. "I used to be one of those people that would find all the apps and tools and random things that you could put on your computer to help you save three seconds off all your tasks," James said. "Once I finally managed to teach myself how to code, I was like 'oh, I should have just done this years ago' because it does all of that, plus all these other things for you." In addition to his work on Parkour.clinic, James also enjoys researching and writing about various topics. He has published papers on subjects including Parkour and data analysis. "I like seeing how relationships come out," James said.

The purpose of Movers Mindset is to create and share great conversations with movement enthusiasts. Each conversation feeds my insatiable curiosity, but I share them to turn on a light for someone else, to inspire them, or to give them their next question. In the podcast, I talk with movement enthusiasts to learn who they are, what they do, and why they do it. I'm interested in the nature and philosophy of movement and in exploring themes like independence, self-direction, and human excellence. My interests color each conversation and provide some structure to Movers Mindset. But since I like to take the scenic route, every conversation ends up going somewhere unique. I really appreciate your time and attention, and I don’t take it for granted. --- I need your support I want to share more of these amazing conversations, with amazing people, but I’m limited by the cost of the project. Please support what I’m doing. Every dollar really makes a difference. Since 2017, I’ve spent countless hours and dollars keeping Movers Mindset going. Everything has remained free and ad-free and alive thanks to patronage from listeners like you. I have no staff, no assistant… it’s just one maniac with a mic and a keyboard. If this labor of love makes your life more livable in any way, please consider aiding said maniac’s sustenance… Support my work --- Thank you! My personal mission is creating better conversations to spread understanding and compassion. And Movers Mindset is one of the things I do in service of my mission. Drop by constantine.name for my weekly email, my other podcasts, writing and more. The Movers Mindset project grew from conversations I started having as part of my personal journey rediscovering movement. The project started late in 2015, and it was initially simply a web site that shared others’ writing. The project grew, and in 2017 I started the podcast. I’ve worked extremely hard, but none of this would have been possible without so much help from so many people. Cheers! ɕ
