Having strength and being able to use it are two completely different things.
Most training programs miss this entirely.
When someone has the capacity but still moves poorly, the answer is not more bilateral work. It is putting them in a position where they have no choice but to use what they already have.
That is the principle behind unilateral training. Single leg work. Split stance. Rear foot elevated.
You cannot hide on one leg. You cannot compensate, shift the load, or recruit the stronger side to cover for the weaker one. The body is forced to figure it out.
This is how you get behind consciousness. Not by telling the nervous system what to do. By creating an environment where it has no other option.
If someone is struggling, I bias their entire program toward single leg work. Every time.
Having the strength is step one. Learning to express it is the whole game.
